I like it, it means you have to actualy try.. I like a hint of realism, and, having shot a 12 gauge, I know real guns have recoil. Watch fps russias videos.. Recoil much?
I doubt real guns are "easy" to shoot accuarately, so why should bf3 guns be.
I know its a game, but there are other games with easier guns.
imo, it makes it worth aiming for a headshot (which it should be)
On a side note, ive noticed lots of people with the headshot dog tag, with the counter, but they have like 4 headshots. Now some of these people are high levels, why would you want to show off somthing your crap at?
Ive got over 1000 and im not shouting about it, it represents less than 10% of my total kills. Not cool in my eyes...
While I am in absolute agreement that it shouldn't be easy, I do sometimes get annoyed when you aim the reticule right over somebodys head at 5 metres and it still misses, even with a controlled burst and I having been playing FPS games for years and BF3 since it came out so it's not down to my sI doubt real guns are "easy" to shoot accuarately, so why should bf3 guns be.

teness. I'd expect at least the first shot or two to be on target. Reminds me of that scene from Pulp Fiction! Mid-range shots also miss far to often for no apparent reason, again stationery target and tap taping double shot bursts so recoil really shouldn't be so bad but shots often go miles wide. While I agree that spraying and praying should not be rewarded, controlled bursts which are aimed down the sights should be a little bit more accurate I feel.
Well had a bit of a "night session" and think the game is great after the patch!!!! Definately think the helicopters are better, which is no bad thing

I agree entirely.teness. I'd expect at least the first shot or two to be on target. Reminds me of that scene from Pulp Fiction!

But I think that may be down to the shoddy hit detection. I could be completely wrong, but I havent had too many issues killing people.

You could be right, I often experience these misses when the game seems laggy. I guess maybe they need to sort out hit detection rather than recoil then. But I think that may be down to the shoddy hit detection. I could be completely wrong, but I havent had too many issues killing people.
Still I don't think a spray from 2 metres should miss though. The amount of times I've run round a corner only to come face-to-face with someone, empty a clip from point blank range and still miss is unreal. The other person is literally filling my sights they are so close and you still get far too many occasions where you hit nothing. Anything less than say 2 metres shouldn't be subject to recoil or hit detection problems I reckon.

I have over 1500 headshot kills, but my tag resets for every match, quite often showing <5. The absolute minimum you need to unlock that tag is 250.

What is it with BF3 players on the PS3 - can they not read?
I've joined three specific weapon only (knife, pistol and sniper) servers in the past two days, on all three at least half of the people completely ignored the weapon restrictions. Muppets.
Knife only servers are hilarious. All you hear is the sound of people being stabbed repeatedly. I've joined three specific weapon only (knife, pistol and sniper) servers in the past two days, on all three at least half of the people completely ignored the weapon restrictions. Muppets.

I tried a pistol and knife server this afternoon, at least half of the people were using assault rifles/LMG etc.

I used to chuckle at doing this on BC2 with mines if I had just laid them then got auto balanced. But they have patched out the ability to detonate C4 when you respawn so how are they doing it?
xbox.no date for xbox patch at the moment - I've heard the main reason is something regarding microsoft not being happy about paid servers
After going on a Littlebird rampage with Eybic in the back fixing me uo, got to about 40 ish kills and one death, another 500 odd tickets to go, we both got kicked by admin. I rejoin then onn the other side this time get about another 16 kills, round changes then I get banned... WTF
I suppose I should take it as a compliment. Bit ghey though

There are many upsides to the personalised "Rent a Server".I suppose I should take it as a compliment. Bit ghey though
What you experienced is the downside.

fair enough if they've paid for a server, bit odd that Quick match puts you straight into a "private" payed server though!
Just got this on the PS3.... will probably now have to build a capable computer to play it properly! Its gonna take me a while to get my eye in with the dual shock controller, its just not linear enough for me theres nothing for the first mm or so of the analogue stick then you suddenly get everything and you're flailing about looking at the sky.
Plus with only 24 players max, some of the maps feel a bit empty. It looks great though, even on the PS3. I played the single player some and its really not too bad, perhaps not CoD slick, but worth a punt. AI way too accurate though, but that happens with most games (like fallout for example, with some raider able to land every shot on you from a distance with his absolutely knackered assault rifle that when in your hands wouldn't hit a barn door from 5 ft and breaks 15 shots into a mag)
