Gamers, what are you playing these days?

Yea, for some reason (probably because it was buried under the crushed dreams of millions of gamers, and was therefore unreachable by DICE) the hit detection in BF3 hasn't ever been that great. Fortunately, from my experience in BF4's alpha, things are much better.
Really? That's good news! I told myself I shouldn't bother with BF4 but if improves or even plays similar to BFBC2 then I'll be happy
I was rather good at BF3 on the 360 though. Maybe its just a pc thing?

Could be, I don't have a console, so I have no experience with it on those platforms. Battlefield 4 is, imo, what BF3 should have been, instead of the weirder, dumbed down version of Battlefield to compete with CoD. The return of Commander mode, slightly larger squads (5 instead of 4), dynamic squad perks that reward squad play, more advanced naval action (instead of those mostly useless Rhib Boats), changes to suppression, and other such things all make me very excited about BF4.
I love BF3 (no noticable hit detection issues, bar a few early teething problems on console), but I have to agree, it didn't feel like a Battlefield game (and I don't really count Bad Company as a regular BF game line).
BF4 looks like it's going to be epic. So glad they brought back commander mode and that the consoles will support 64 players, not the CoD-esque 24 (that does not a Battlefield game make!).
I agree Bad Company doesn't play like a regular Battlefield game but it certainly was different from COD. And I did see that COD vibe in BF3.
BF3 can be good at times but either Everyone has God Mode turned on or I am really bad at keeping a steady aim.

Didn't mean to imply Bad Company was like CoD, more that it wasn't like BF. Tho BF3 certainly had a lot of CoD-like elements, fo su!
The way it plays, it seems to try and "hide" poor connections from you if you have a poor connection. I've noticed that before, on my screen things are looking fine, but not hitting anyone (only to be told on Skype that I'm doing the running man).
The hit detection in BF3 has been pretty bad since the get go, and is still kind of iffy on PC, due to the way they chose to handle some of the coding. I'm not sure if it stemmed from the game being ported from Console to PC, or another issue with PC servers and some weird things going on in the network, but it kinda can suck the fun out of it from time to time.
I also agree with you about the Bad Company games being a weird spin-off of the franchise, and not a true BF game. I can't really imagine what a 24 man scrim on a large map like Kharg Island, Operation Firestorm, or the Armored Kill maps would be like, so I'm happy for console players that the new systems will be able to handle 66 man maps (since commanders fill 2 extra slots, something I'm very happy about).
Yea, I'm not saying that it wasn't different from CoD, it definitely was, it was just pretty obvious that EA and DICE were trying to make a game that would pull traditional CoD gamers into the BF franchise. Normally I'm very much on board with that sort of thinking, but as a vet of the Battlefield series (back to the original), I wasn't very happy to see the commander mode removed, especially given how absurdly powerful it was in the right hands.
As far as the God Mode thing, that's probably just because you're not used to Mouse/Keyboard. I don't know if there's an aim assist for BF like there is for CoD, or if you ever used it, but nearly everyone I've ever met coming from a console to a PC has had issues adjusting initially.
All in all, like I've said previously, my experience with the Alpha for the game and the things I hear and see coming out surrounding the game have me completely stoked, though the BF4 premium being another $50 is still kind of irritating, but I suppose I shouldn't really be too surprised. And given that I've gotten nearly 2 years worth of fun from the game, I'm not too miffed at the $110 price tag.
This is me Amped, in case you wanna team up on PC from time to time:

Also, 5 days worth of double XP, from today until the 26th. Jump on it!
I think you both misunderstood! I was just agreeing with sloasdaylight about BF3 being geared towards COD fans.
But it seems we all agree that BFBC is not similar to COD lol
I am looking forward to BF4 now. I haven't kept up with any updates or heard about the Alpha tests. I don't even have Premium for BF3!
Anyway, I sent you a friend request , my PC tag is CaptainDiabeetus (don't laugh at my stats...)

Have you tried the DLC? I finished the main line for Tiny Tina's D&D content and it was a blast. Need to be close to lvl 30 tho; I first went in at lvl 22 and got pwned big time.
I finally got around to that DLC recently too. It was fun, but pretty easy that run through (lv50 character on normal mode), but I'm looking forward to it on TVH mode!
Still need to have a bash at the raid boss tho!

FAAAAAAARRRR too many hours on BF3. KD is still pretty bad, it's slowly been getting better (BF3 was the first FPS I played with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse, took a couple hundred hours til I even started breaking even on the KD :s )

My stats aren't great, I owe many kills to the jihad runs I make
I sent you a request as well Mohawk, though idk if you being in Scotland is an issue - time and connection wise!

I thought I had played more BF3 than that, turns out I only played 7 hours. A wee-while ago.

My two sons and I got a PS3 about a year ago, so we've been enjoying used games from Gamestop, for the most part. 99 cent Madden and NBA 2007 is great for us, and old greats like Dragon Age, Grand Turismo 5 and Resistance: Fall of Man. We can play Shivering Isles and Oblivion for a while until Skyrim gets cheaper.
Bought GTAIV when I got the system and, as one of the biggest fans of GTA in the world, I have to say it's quite possibly the most overrated game ever created. We're playing Red Dead Redemption and the Assassin's Creed series while we wait for GTAV to come out on my birthday. My 11 year old can spend hours just hunting in RDR and AC3.
MW3 came with the system, and it was pretty good. For my money, I'd rather have longer missions and less linearity than high-paid voice actors. I completed that game way too quickly.

I added you as a friend. If you see me on hit me up, I'm usually down to play most of the time I'm online, if I'm not already (you don't get nearly 600 hours of play time racked up by not playing often >.<).
