But really, what FPS doesnt have a Deathmatch mode lol

 

[ilikewaffles11]

What PDW do you guys like the most? I starting using the PP2000 again and I absolutely love it! It dominates in close quarters and with extended mags and a Kobra sight you can sometime get kills at longer ranges because it's pretty accurate.

I just got 185,186 total XP in a match.i went 74-14 and got four medals.

I think a deathmatch as the closest thing to a normal real life battle/firefight you can get. I dont think Rush is because you have to just blow up a line of conveniently placed photocopiers, Then conquest is just standing by a flag until it turns to your colours. TDM gives the rawest and purest firefights and engagements in my opinion, And this is what is so popular about it. Despite this however i still rather Conquest as for the reasons brought up by some earlier posts, But i understand and respect the fact people like it and play it. Shame the same cant be said for others

The best compromise i find is CQDOM wich feels more like a TDM, but still retains the objectives and a thin "film" of teamwork and tactics from regular Conquest.

The best on paper is the P90 then the MP7, My personal would be the MP7 and then PP2000 for longer ranged engagements. Alot of people dismiss the PP2000 because of its slow 650 RPM rate of fire, But it deals 25 initial damage so it deals more damage than the majority of PDW'S. The only better PDW exept for the P90 & MP7 would be the PDW-R wich deals the same damage but has a 750 RPM rate of fire. So if you like the PP2000 maybe you should give the PDW-R a go👍

I like the PDWR but it has a lot more kick than the PP2000. I'm not bothered by the fire rate, it still drops enemies very quickly up close.

Also just went 93-23 on Ziba Tower with the PP2000. Ranked up twice within a half hour. Plus I didn't notice that I also got my third PP2000 service star.

Yep the PP2000 does fire alot smoother i agree.

This exactly. The raw and intense firefights is what I love

 

[HE1RO]

Im going to upgrade to PC soon, but i was wondering if anyone is using the new FXAA 1.3 beta. Ive seen alot of good comments about it lately.

 

[sesselpupser]

I just do not understand the lure of deathmatch in bf3.

Sometimes I don't want to compromise and I just want to use a certain class with a certain weapon and no vehicles, CQ only really allows that if you play Metro or CQD, so at times like that I'll play TDM. If any of my clanmates are online I'll usually join them or ask them to join me in CQ because we know how each other plays so it's much easier to get some good squad play going, but with randoms you're often better off not even joining a squad because nine times out of ten you'll join a squad that consists of three recons who are sniping from as far away as they can possibly be, which is hardly better than playing TDM in terms of teamwork!

Also I see no harm in having more modes, it just means the game appeals to more people, it's not as if the game is missing anything because they wanted to add two deathmatch modes so why not add them?

What PDW do you guys like the most?

I like the PDW-R but found it only really got good when I unlocked the extended mags, the AS Val is pretty good when you figure out how to use it (short bursts only), the PP-19 might be my favourite though. I find the M5K to be very underrated too.

 

[Smilenator]

Just had two freezes in one game. 200% ticket on Grand bazaar. It was a game with both teams playing well and the scores close. So after the first freeze I decided to rejoin, but after the second one I gave up.
It is this sort of thing that turns people off games, I can't remember getting a single freeze in all the time I played COD.

Yes i agree on the AS VAL and PP-19, I dont find the M5K to be underated its just heavily hindered by the fast ROF and small mag so very few people use it. It should have 40 in the extended mags i reckon, like the MP7.

Yeah, I mean it's far from ideal but with a lot of practice you can really make it work, it really needs to be used on a map with small rooms so you can empty a clip into someone then duck into the next room to reload. A silencer is also a must because as Dragonistic was saying about pistols, you won't be able to take down more than two people with a single (normal size) mag in real use conditions so you really don't want to attract any attention while using it.

Its no doubt it can drop people unbelievably fast, But the only way i can seem to feel comfortable using it is with extended mags, Wich of course rules out the suppressor. You definitely need to be proficient with your side arm to get any joy with it.

This is why I said I don't think TDM is really for bf3.
It was not meant as a legitimate shot at slash. He likes it and so do many others. He also seems to be as addicted to the game as most of us. No harm. His game playing his way.
Sooo, slash if YOU took my comment as an attack, my apologies.

 

[Sureboss]

I have to agree, it works with COD because the maps are tighter, more buildings, alleys, etc. Not the big, open plan arenas in BF where you use a tiny space in TDM that has no cover. The new maps work well in Domination because of their design.

Got the EOD kill last night when messing about Tehran. Had a crash at Seine again. Conquest.

I like both the P90 and MP7, with a slight preference to the P90. I also like the UMP45.

 

[hywelkidd]

Yeah DICE really need to fix it. Every time the game crashes for me is CQ at Seine. Shame really, I quite like Seine for CQ.


On the subject of PDWs, I love the MP7 for close quarters combat. Been running it with holographic scope, extended mag and laser. Although the P90 has much better accuracy at medium range.

You guys with freezing problems:
Have you tried clearing out the system cache? I generally do this once a week and rarely experience lockups. They still happen but it seems to be less than what you guys are experiencing. This is on a slim with very minimal data on it. ( gt academy, NBA jams, arkham city, and bf3)
I get less issues on my slim than on my 160 fat which has been near capacity and has had lots of stuff taken off to make room. Im not sure if it makes a difference, but I think bf3 runs better on a "clean" system.

I have also noticed that if your Wi-Fi signal gets weak or interrupted you can freeze instead of just disconnects.
When I'm playing at work, I cannot use my mic. At best I'm getting 55% signal and if I try to use my mic I will disconnect EVERY time. Even as low as 40% signal I can play without lag, just not with a mic.

You sure about BC2? Atleast it had SQDM.

Yeah. It did have sqdm but not tdm. I had to check

When I'm playing at work

I've heard of people sneakily playing flash games while at work, but BF3?!

 

[Caz]

hehe

I own a motel and work the overnight shifts on Thursdays so I bring my ps3. Its pretty slow from midnight on.
I used to bring my wheel and pedals for gt5 but eventually hardmounted to my rig at home.

Will try clearing out the cache when I'm next on. I'm using an 80gb fat PS3 which is nearly full so I'll have a look to see if there's data on there that I don't need. Last time I had a good deleting session was when GT5 came out.

As for internet, I use BT Infinity. I generally get 32mb download and between 15 and 20ms ping with (most of the time) only me using it.

I cannot guarantee it will help. Might just be placebo effect or slight differences in hardware in ps3 for me.
Worth the shot tho.

Just hoover your PS3 once a week, works for me.

No I didn't take it that way, I just prefer BF3's version of TDM over COD because of the better overall features in BF3 like suppression and bullet drop, and the fact that 99% of the people playing aren't snipers...

Like I said. I guess it's because of the 1v1 combat constantly and epic firefights and positions you can get yourself stuck in. For me it's just not there in any of the other modes, however they can be equally if not more amusing at times. I also believe BF3's TDM is much faster paced than COD.

I'm going to start doing this and see if it makes a difference.

 

[Dragonistic]

I like both the P90 and MP7, with a slight preference to the P90. I also like the UMP45.

Those 3 are my pick of the PDWs as well, one the P90 and MP7 are lasered up they are hip-fire gods but the P90 sneaks it for me as you can use a suppressor instead of extended mags though the MP7 has a more useful effective range via reduced recoil I believe, if you need extra range it's probably time to drop the MP7/P90 and pick up the UMP or a normal primary weapon. UMP suffers from slightly small mag but the slower fire rate makes it much less of a problem and once again you can run suppressor and laser.

And to think I'd been looking forward to seeing which guns they'd picked for camo treatment this time. I'm guessing those four are the most popular guns for each class or something?
