Also played a game as sniper fag for once earlier last night. Ended up with 2 or 3 deaths or something and 29 kills or something stupid like that. DURR HURR SNIPING IS SEAU HARD
Scored slightly less than you, played for 5 min more and killed almost 3x people than you did = faster weapon attachment unlocks.
Oh and it was a pretty epic game too(even with all the camping) since the score was something like 74-160 when I joined up and we ended up turning it around.

Attempt #27: what exactly makes the older ones so much better? None of you so called veterans can say anything about it it seems, so all I'm sensing is a lot of butthurt because there's more infantry combat.
- Vehicle mechanics that actually worked. I don't even bother using a joystick in BF3.
- Great, way better maps. No flying around in plane for 1 second before you have to make a turn.
- No ranked servers, which mean anyone could host a server. Sure, you can still do that now, but then you end up unranked which means ending up playing with the bottom of BF3.
Now only garbage hosts are maintaining all the ranked servers, Resulting into lag and downtime.
- Way less graphic problems, stuttering, lag etc. Overall it was way easier to actually play without thousands crash to desktops. Sure, this doesn't happen to everyone - but most people have these problems once in a while. Only the occasional PB drop happend to me in the old BF versions.
- Server browser (okay, this has never been good, but the BF3 one is imo the worst so far - can do into detail but I hope you can find the bad things yourself...)
- Overall better community. Because developers and releasers didn't bother that much about attracting all the garbage mainstream to BF. Dear god, the players I play with and against these days are so retarded, I find it hard to believe they actually are able to use a keyboard.
- Mods
- More difficult gameplay. BF was never that hardcore. But atleast it was clear when you were a good player. You would top the list most of the times, and didn't die to stupid stuff.
- Actually be able to play clanwars. People that join ESL now are jokes. Back then Clanbase and ESL actually had good cups with a lot of skilled players.
I can go on, hopefully I don't have to. But since you already called "us" butthurt I doubt this post will make any sense at all.
Old indeed, but it never gets old, I can keep watching that haha

I have a lvl2 character anyway, what's the point
It's the vehicle unlocks which you need, infantry combat is fine early on

The only persistent, common error is the black loading screen. And I know for a fact that BF2 had far more retarded issues going on. I can't remember the exact error (I spent hours trying to fix it at a friend's who did play it), but in the end it was a problem with the ICH9/10 and nForce SATA controllers. The game shouldn't even be touching those drivers. Every game has these issues, including the previous BF games.

Battlelog actually works better than any of the crap I've seen in any game apart from Valve's Steam Server browser. Proper sorting, much quicker access to filters (and more filters to begin with). Its only nag is the fact that you actually gotta click on a server to make sure it hasn't filled up already.

Welcome to the age of broadband being common good and everyone up to and including your grandmother having a PC to play games on. This honestly has got fuck all to do with it being BF3, more with it being a new, well advertised game. Can't say I don't agree, but I can't say that it's DICE's fault either.
As for the other points, I agree with you there. Some maps definitely need bigger airspace, limited server hosting still sucks (but it makes sense from a logistical point of view) and not having mods is something that's normal nowadays. Controller support is indeed shit, which is a fucking shame. Thanks for being the first and only BF veteran to actually explain why you dislike it, not like all the fuckwits that come in here, cry a bit and are then unable to actually get their point across
There's that and I'm glad you're not one of the retards stuck on the "OMG NOT ENOUGH VEHICLE WARFARE" bandwagon. Just to make it clear where I come from, I'm not a CoD player or anything - ultimately, I'm a twitch shooter player (Q1/Q3, HLDM) and for me this is the first Battlefield that actually feels like a Battlefield. Unlike its predecessors, the balance between vehicles and infantry is just about right (although the balance between vehicles on each side is a bit fucked sometimes), where before it was more ArmA than Battlefield, if you catch my drift

Running was actually tougher in the first BF games - you had limited sprint duration
Making it unlimited was the first thing I noticed when playing the BC2 beta and I suddenly liked that game a whole lot better just for that.
- Great, way better maps. No flying around in plane for 1 second before you have to make a turn.
Myth busted, I tried it myself just after BF3 was released. It takes roughly the same time going from end to end of the maps (flyable zones) even when testing on the largest maps like Fushe Pass or Operation Clean Sweep.
Also Battlelog is much much better than any in-game browser BF games have ever had.

Try playing 1000 ticket Conquest 64 on small maps. Points just keep landing
I've always wondered why people keep doing that. I can't see what's the fun about it.
Hell, Operation Metro (64-player Conquest-Meatgrinder) is by far the most played map in the game
At least the big BF2 maps offered an actual playable area. In BF3 you can indeed fly way off from the battlefield, into the nice and useless background scenery, but there is jack shit to be found.

Except for other jets and helicopters If you're an intelligent pilot (which I bet you are) you use that out-of-bounds zone to flank the enemy vehicles, get them from behind (which is the best place to launch a laser-guided missile), destroy their mobile AA, etc. So if an enemy pilot is clever enough he will be looking for you just in that area and good aerial battles ensue.
