Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Yes, OH YES! Damn those engineers with the AA-tube. Should have never been put into the game.

Agreed. It's too much.

Between the stationary AA emplacements, mobile AA, and other helicopters and jets, there is enough AA capability already.

Surely this is merely a realistic depiction of things... most videos of planes I've seen in BF3 have the planes flying insanely close to the ground. Unrealistically close. In real combat situations, you rarely get anywhere near that close to the ground precisely because of the existence of AA weaponry.

If it was realism the jets would be 10 times faster, in the beta they were slow as balls.

Certainly. I'm just saying that part of the problem is that you're flying too low! Flying higher probably is worthless in BF3 tho..

This is only applicable if you can actually take off successfully.

Take all my upvotes, and reinvest them in more hilarious memes. Thanks.

Try playing Warhawk.

I spend 95% of my time dodging missiles, and the other 5% trying to switch weapons with their shitty control layout so that I can actually use them.

FUCK!

Everybody's gotta be a fucking hero, shooting down the jet the one time I get it.

I haven't played BF3 yet but never had any luck flying anything in BF2, so I will be stuck on the ground again
