I have many disappointments with this game as well. I'm also sure that there are others who feel disappointed to some degree. First of all, the lag input for the PS3 version is just unbearable. The response time can make the difference between life and death in combat. Second, the game has many flaws with balance. For instance, weapons like the USAS-12 FRAG, FAMAS, M320, Tactical light, and etc. The Anti-air emplacements and vehicles are also an issue. The emplacements are poorly placed and are somehow invulnerable while the AA vehicles have tremendous firepower that obliterates all in its sight (slightly exaggerated). Additionally, some of the maps in Battlefield 3 are terribly designed. Some maps in certain gamemodes are just awful. Examples include Operation Métro, Damavand Peak, and Tehran Highway Conquest mode. The maps have too many choke points and/or are too linear. Speaking of maps, the vanilla maps were also quite lacking in destruction. I realize there are buildings that can collapse but most buildings cannot collapse. This is a huge difference from Bad Company 2 where you could destroy almost every building. DICE emphasized destruction as one of the main pillars of Frostbite 2.0 but this is just a joke. Thankfully, the Back To Karkand pack brought back some of the destruction. I would also like to say that Conquest Assault is not that great as well. Finally I would like to say alot of the problems within the game are also the fault of the players. Majority of the players are clueless and do not know the meaning of PTFO! Most of them cannot utilize vehicles effectively, use strategies such as flanking, or even hand out health or ammunition to each other. No matter how hard I try, it's no use because the entire team is lagging behind. The enemy team on the other hand manages to defeat my team most of the time. They usually have the upper hand in terms of experience and intelligence. You have no idea how many times I have tried to capture an objective only to be cut down by the enemy team while the rest of my teammates are cowering in a corner trying to understand what to do. There are indeed other good players but they just can't account for the rest of the players who do poorly. I'm also getting really frustrated with the campers and spawn rapers that eliminate our aircraft before they even have a chance to do anything. Please do not say that I'm inexperienced or being whiny because I have played Battlefield 3 for 150 hours, have a total score of around 4,500,000, unlocked every kit (almost for vehicles), and am Level 12: 1st prestige or technically Level 57. I'm not telling you this so I can boast about it; I just want you to know so you can't claim that I'm a Call of Duty player who is clueless. I enjoyed Battlefield 3 but enough is enough! I'm simply tired of going through this everytime I play. DICE, I hope you will be able to fix at least some of these things with your next patch in February.
