I love it. Some people say they hate it...so that's a hard question to answer.

Yeah sniping has gotten worse. It's just way too easy to kill people honestly. Hope they look into it. I've noticed people sitting in the back sniping and it's annoying. It's like half the team is sniping, half of the rest are launching parrot drones and then there are the idiots like me trying to get points or rush.

Game is fun though.

[stankowalski]

What loadouts are you guys using? This will change as you level up I'm sure.

Right now I'm level 44 and the loadout I use the most is this:

Gun: T3AK rifle with grenade launcher.

Special explosive: C4

1st purchase slot: Proximity launcher

2nd purchase slot: cluster bomb (I just unlocked this one recently and I fuging love it.)

Infantry abilities: Blastwave and boomer.

Overall there is less sniping in this game than any other game I've played. And don't get me wrong, i don't hate snipers...in fact they are needed, but 10 out of 32 players don't need to be snipers. And to be honest there is less sniping in this game than any other FPS I've played. Sniping isn't rewarded in this game, since you get nothing for killstreaks. If you played as a sniper all game, you wouldn't amass enough battlepoints to use the cool poo like Apache's, clusterbombs...etc.

So, for those of us that don't play competitive online... I'm hearing rental?

[stankowalski]

I didn't play much of the single player to be honest, but I've heard it's really short...so definitely rent instead of buying if that's your thing. I wouldn't pay 60 bucks for the single player.

[Zaximus]

Rent if you don't play online. I wouldn't even buy a FPS at all unless you plan on playing online.

Me and a buddy just played for 2-3 hours and seriously, I like this game. I don't feel like playing CoD at all. If they keep working out the kinks like they have been it's going to be a solid game. Just had a match where I was pinned in the Hooters while 2-3 Hummers drove around it for like 5 minutes haha.

My loadout right now(i'm only like lvl 25):

ACR with silencer

EMP nade

my purchases are Rhino Drone (for annoying mini-copters/parot drones etc) and my favorite, my personal UAV. Seriously, the UAV is beast, everyone should use Ghost eventually. It lasts till you die I believe.

Using quick scope "perk", the reload perk, penny pincher and ghost

I don't use many vehicles right now but when I get access to choppers that'll probably change.

When I started using a silencer the game got so much better for me. I basically flank around the other team and come up behind and usually get 4-5 kills doing this. I play like a ninja right now, I don't camp, but I move slowly sometimes and prone when I have too. It's fun hiding from vehicles and stuff, gets kind of intense.

I think I'm going to get my $60 out of this game for sure.

poo on that. its nothing like battlefield, bf is actually good game. hf is terrible in my opinion. i should have known this before i bought it and the big warning should have been the THQ at the bottom of the game cover. i mean the last good game they made was like WWF in 1997.

this game plays like a retarded cod with hastily done graphics and shoddy vehicle action. no destructive enviorment at all and the maps are way to small for all the flying vehicles that can be up at one time.

You're insane, this game is fantastic. At least in this game you don't get rewarded for sitting back sniping the whole match. I like the fact that I'm rewarded for taking and defending objectives. I could understand why some people won't like it though, especially if you're one of those people that enjoys sniping. Your opinion is just that, your opinion. And my opinion is my opinion. As for the graphics neither Battlefield nor this are as good as COD...I would put this on par with Battlefield. I will agree that it would have been better if it had destructible environments.

It just takes getting used to. In my opinion the battlepoints system is genius. It really puts an emphasis on strategy.

I just changed my favorite loadout. It's the same as before except in place of the grenade launcher, I have the EMP grenade launcher equipped. Now I can stop a vehicle and C4 it.

dude you must have confused me with a cod homer. battlefield is all about objectives, and snipers get nothing but a tiny amount of points for doing nothing all game. I hate sniping. Sorry i just like a game to play well unlike hf. too much like cod for me. and also sorry i like a game with destructive enviorments. cause it makes way to much sense shooting a rocket at a wall and it explodes, right? battlefield graphics pwn hf. Like i said THQ is involved. hope your servers are still up and running in a year.
