    It has been said that Medium is a good balance for decent performance and visual quality.

    the AAA is great at shooting down parachuting bombs :D

    Obliteration can turn into a clusterf**k with 32 players and all going for the bomb. But it can also feel pretty awesome rolling in as a tank with 10 infantry escorts.

    Yeah I played a few obliteration rounds in an AAA / tank, shooting fish springs to mind!

    Dislike how the map looks crap after the building goes down. I actually spotted the transition today from a roof top, it just looks like someone pours paint over everything.

    Yeah, it's definitely nicer with the skyscraper up. JackFrags made a suggestion in one of his vids that there should be some internal 'supports' for it so it isn't so easy to take down.

    Played some obliteration last night, still feel there's too many players and it just feels like a cluster*uck war of attrition.

    Also getting pissed off with campy snipers on roof tops.

    I think I'm going to enjoy BF4, just not Shanghai....

    Crap map tbh but the snipers are already annoying me likewise.

    And I know it takes a while to get used to how a game feels hits wise but this just feels a bit sloppy and meh to me.

    Drag me into a game with those snipers. I'll deal with them.

    Some of my most enjoyable times on bf3 have been counter sniping. Especially crane snipers on the canals level

    That's what I do.

    Ping them all off then switch classes again but its still a distraction and they only come back exactly where they were killed :(

    Equip the AN94 and never worry about snipers again, they learn to fear that distinctive du-dunk du-dunk du-dunk of imminent death from across the map.

    I'm really going to to miss it from BF4, although I expect it's going to be right there in the first or second expansion, next to it's equally overpowered brethren the M16A3. Although the AK12 does a good impression of it, 1000rpm in burst mode!

    I used to be able to counter snipe effectively in BFBC2 with the AN94, (god I love that gun) but it's effectiveness at range seemed nerfed in BF3.

    I tend to switch to sniper, take them out wait for them to respawn and go again. Eventually they give up on the crane. I also try and take out their beacons up there.

    tbh credit where credit is due they have pulled their fingers out and made it playable.

    All I have had to do is manually sort punkbuster out and its been flawless since the prioer update for me, no more stupid CPU usage.

    I use l85 with holo, heavy barrel and foregrip for counter sniping.
    Gun is damned useful at med-long range.

    Sight up on the glare, single shot double tap.

    Yea I'd agree on that, it's down pretty much the moment the round starts. I wish they'd leave the dust off too.

    Has anyone noticed that the shotguns are awful? The 870 is better but both seem to lack the one hit kill ability at anything more than a couple of feet or a head shot, the Chinese one is hilariously bad firing all six round to make a kill seems to be the norm with it.

    I agree about it being doing little less damage than in BC2, but with the heavy barrel/burst mode it's basically a laser, which can lead to some epic whining from snipers.
