Idk about you, but I wouldn't say that a person who after 12hrs of gameplay after many many years manages to get 3kdr on average as infrantry is bad. And I didnt say the game is unplayable, the game is sure playable, it just doesnt reach the modern standards of a good FPS game, in the past sure, but not anymore. I didn't say that guns in this game are badly balanced or they should perform more or less the same, they can stay as they are now, definitely more balanced that the shit you get in BFV.
The hitreg isn't really fine and I do not play outside EU servers, where I get ~30/40ms nearly all the time. And I don't really lose gunfights that much cuz of my aim, rather due to hitreg inconsistency and that I'm outnumber and. Name me any other game where u get one framed as often as in BF3? Well, if you have played anything else than BF3 and BF4 in your life.
Footsteps are really bad in this game and I have Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250ohm headphones with Soundblaster Z audiocard, pretty high end stuff as I'm a bit of audiophile. And I can clearly tell you don't really play many FPS games do you? Probably only BF3 and BF4... Well if according to you footsteps are good in this game, then dunno what will you say about BFV or CoD MW where you can actually hear approaching enemies even as far as 30meters.
Maybe my remark on the limited flank routes sounded as if every map suffers from it, but what I intented to tell there is bunch of these and especially in TDMs like bazaar, which is amazing for conquest and has plenty of flank points, but in TDM its just pretty much hold the corner and thats it, try to push a little bit and you get sniped or instantly vaporised by the other corner holding dudes. Yes, I know theres a smoke grenade launcher, but not many people use it, because you have to unlock it later on, unlike of BFV for example which is available from rank 1 plus u have smoke nades. Same for BF1 (minus the smoke grenade launcher)
Overall you sound pretty butthurt that I dared to speak against your god game, which isn't that great as u might think, why else the game was pretty much dead, until amazon was benevolent enough to give it us for free with twitch prime. And no its not that I'm bad, I only have 12hrs of gameplay and yet I manage to get a lil bit over 3kd, which is probably better than 95% of the playerbase, who have thousands of hours in this.
