Remember this is pub gaming, people WILL rush down those escalators.

Yup totally agree, "generally" speaking.

This is the in-game tac light. The after photo is meant to be what it will look like once it's patched...but for now it is unrealistic and annoying as ****

Go buy a taclight and stare at it from 15m away, enjoy your blind spots for the rest of the week.

Ok then, explain why my eyes dont ever get lens flare when i look at the sun, but in bf3 they do...

I think the 2 flags to 1 bleed basically means whoever holds B wins.

We managed to sneak through take the enemies side flag once.. but the rest of the team was to busy rocket-spamming the chokepoint to take advantage of it, so we lost it... and the match.

I've been on a 24/7 64 player CQ Metro server where we were able to, two times running, push back on the other team, take over the B flag and push them back to the point of almost taking A or C Flag.
Takes a good solid group effort, with a 50/50 split of forces pushing from two directions at once.

I've said in a previous post, CQ Metro can be fun; in short bursts.

I have been in teams on quite a few occasions where we have taken the flag after the enemy has held it, so it is possible in fact we did it last night. However, if the teams are well balanced it is very hard and this is the case most of time

... Go outside on a sunny day and stare at the sun without squinting you tit.

It's not really a matter of realism as much as it is gameplay. the flashlight is a cheap/douche tactic, realistic or not. if you want to talk realism, the tunguska would be able to sit just outside the Russian base and obliterate choppers taking off at the US base on Caspian. is it realistic? yes. is it fair or fun? only if you're the tunguska (until you get nailed by a javelin from the other side of the map).

Squad Flak speciality is a godsend for Metro.

I find generally russians have the advantage on Metro whilst holding B. If US gets a foothold on B or can cause enough of a distraction by taking A, the ruskies have a tough job sneaking past the thin red line.

But both sides will have people that spend the entire game spamming pocket rockets and M320 grenades.

The only time we get a decent assault is when you join with a few buddies on coms, and decide to assault the stairs closest to the ticketing booths.

But I would be interested to see some results nonetheless.

Oh god yes I know that. Like I said, was playing FPS games using KB+M before most people playing them today were born.

It will be interesting to compare though.

Midday in an open area with the sun shining, I will not get 90% blinded by a tac light shining at me from 10 meters away.

Apparently DICE in all their wisdom have made all servers a minimum of 4 player starts to stop stat padding. Anyone know if this true?

Why aren't people complaining about the laser sight addons. The effect given off by them should happen if it's aimed at your face, and shouldn't constantly emit a huge red globe from the gun at all time (when facing in the general direction of another person)
