... So this is actually kind of a necro lol. My buddy and I just picked this up for something to do other than call of douchebag since the two of us live in different states now. Any tips for co-op/online play? Last title like this we played I guess was that last Medal of Honor game... The one with the guy with the beard on the cover I don't remember.

For the love of god press q to spot enemies. If you are behind someone F to knife them and take their tags.

Been playing more as of late too. Really enjoying getting back into the swing of things.

Funny kill of the night last night had to be trying to hit a jeep with a jav while he tried to hit me with the jeep. Getting jumped over as i shot and having to turn around to chase the dude down.

Fly jets bro :D It's all I seem to do.
Assault is a pretty easy class to play, Engi is useful on vehicle maps and pretty much the standard class if you're playing in vehicles.

Kinda a dumb question but I'm playing the campaign on PC using a xbox controller but the problem is when quick time events pop up they correspond to the KB/Mouse set up "Push E" which is B on the controller but sometimes it says mash E which pushing B no longer does anything. Any way to fix this so it 1) Displays the correct button and 2) Actually works so I don't have to switch between controller/mouse and kb

EA admits to making BF3 a CoD clone

Battlefield 3 was good, but it might have been better if DICE hadn’t been so conscious of Call of Duty, studio boss Patrick Soderlund has admitted.

“One can advocate that even though Battlefield 3 was a gigantic success for us, I would say we may have looked a little bit too much at our competitor,” the EA Games executive vice president Patrick Soderlund told GamesIndustry, almost certainly referring to Activision’s Call of Duty.

“And we’ve been criticized for that, especially on the single-player side. But when we started doing Battlefield 4, we said we were going to make the game we think is the right game for us and the consumers. Again, you can’t be arrogant about it. You have to be a little paranoid about what others are doing, but staying true to what you’re doing is the key.”

Soderlund also had some inetresting things to say about this console transition, saying that it demands more of developers than the last.

“Consumers and press have been telling us they want something different. Last time around, we didn’t really have that problem,” he said.

“If you think about PS2 to PS3 era, it was all about high-def gaming. You can now enjoy this in high-def. They were fine with the same game they could play on the PS2 because it looked so much better. You can’t do that anymore. The games on PS3 and 360 still look OK. It’s about what we do outside of graphics that will make a difference, I think.”

Soderlund said gamers want “a deep, engaging single-player campaign”, “multiplayer with seven to ten game modes”, “a huge variety of locations” as well as “some kind of service to support the game post-launch that is not ripping consumers off but actually adds value”.

“People choose one or maybe two games and they stick with those, and they want to be in that experience for a long time. So we as game creators need to make sure we fulfill their needs, to keep ahead of the curve,” he said.
