You could always just stop playing it if you suck/ hate it so much.


Or you could play it each day until you want to break the disc in half, and by then you'll be leveled up enough to start liking it.

The only advice I could give has already been said:

• Find some people to play with. Makes playing even against the most annoying people bearable and it gives you people to moan 'with' (As that mostly what me and mates end up doing)

• Tweak. Tweak some more. And, guess what? Tweak again. It's taken me a while to find a good balance of settings, plus I'd say find a few guns per-class you can play well with and just use them until you're tweaking gets the right effect.

• TV size/HD wise, I personally can't play well on large screens. For me there is too much space on the screen, but I'm going to assume you've 'gamed' with that screen for a while.

All of that plus some time and determination should make playing better. I can't play all that often, meaning my kit/skills were far behind my friends but after a few months of trying and just plowing through the 'difficult times' I've managed to get, on average, pretty good.

Heres how to enjoy it.

1.) Stop focusing on *bleep*ing knife kills, use it only when the oppourtunity presents itself. (I Sometimes only get 1 knife kill over 3 games...)

2.) If you don't like the graphics get a hdtv (if you haven't got one) and if you have, deal with it. theres MUCH worse gfx on offer out there.

3.) Recoil, use different guns, with different attachments. Guns actually have a proper recoil effect on this game, you can't just spray like other shooters.

4.) Sluggishness, turn your sensitivity up, duh. If you can't aim with higher sensitivity - turn it down and stfu.

1) Who said i was focusing on knife kills? I found myself behind 2 enemies, and i tried to take them out without making my location known. It's pretty ridiculous that the game doesn't allow you to do that.

2) Thanks very much but i have a 46" HD tv.

3) Thing is, i'm having trouble forcing myself to play the game to unlock others. Besides, i should still be able to get more than one hit in when the enemy is just a few metres down the road, but recoil prevents me from doing so, which is annoying. I understand realism is something they want to focus on and yes realism is good, but not too much. This also applies to carrying out simple things like crouching down and walking like you're a 100 tonne dinosaur with a disability problem.

quote me, in the first post

so i obviously tried tweaking it. But then my aiming was way off, it's just not right. Impossible to get used to that. No matter what i tried.

quote Pauliepoos

I can't say i've had problems with the sensitivity settings. I play it on the default setting and its perfectly fine imo. I guess its just a case of setting it up to a fairly comfortable degree and just sticking with it, as after a while it should become second nature.

As for the recoil issue.....Well, most guns suffer from fairly rough recoil when you first start using them as they come with no attachments. The key is to pick a gun that you can work with and start getting some kills. Before you know it you'll have a whole host of attachments to play around with, of which the foregrip and heavy barrel are most useful. Once you stick them on your gun, and the sight of your choice (mines Holographic) you should see a vast improvement in the usability of it.

I say stick with it, as once it 'clicks' you'll bloody love it.

I hope so. But i just have 0 urge whatsoever to play it at the moment, which is very unlike other Battlefields which i thoroughly enjoyed. I'd actually rather go back to one of those, or even COD4 or WaW. Not to mention Starhawk and other games.

Learn the controls and play the objectives, if you feel you are outclassed, switch lobbies. That's what I did, and now I frequent BF3
