At least if your going to validate your play style be consistent with it mate. In one breath you say you don't condone spawn trapping then in the other call it teamwork and justify its legitimacy. Then you claim helis aren't OP and easy to dispose of then the next you state that being shot at from the ground and having constant lock ons does not concern you and is at best an annoyance.
Then you try having a go at Reaps claiming you play to win.. Now in my experience people who spend their time uploading videos for attention and Internet fame are more interested in getting "clips" and having nice kd's to show off than playing the objective. Your play style of server surfing and team switching to get on the side with the heli and 0 objectives captured per hour doesn't really scream team player or someone concerned with winning. Then you try and waffle on that your self given role is not to help your team directly and put your virtual soldier at risk but to passively help by playing your own TDM in relative safety. Then you gave cloud grief about being an engineer all the time because it's not always required from moment to moment.. To win you need to ADAPT and do whatever the moment demands. So since when is it constantly useful to permanently be in a heli? It's NOT. And the fact that since you love stats so much.. My win ratio is twice as good as yours and I rarely use vehicles and I usually play the largest part in my teams victory and have many objectives captured.
Face it your goal is not "to win", winning to you is incidental. Your objective is Internet attention , fame and "respect". Well sucks for you that going on the way you do is not panning out. Then again you are getting your objective on the attention front which like the other guy said, I'm not sure you care whether it's good or bad attention but each to their own
They didn't screw up, just because this game causes you so much anguish because it wasn't what you thought it would be doesnt mean they screwed up. The majority of people who have played previous BF games and other people migrating from call of duty like it hence why it sold so much and why it got great reviews. Screwing up would be if everybody hated it and it was a total flop in sales.What about all the awards it has won, what about all the great reviews it got? Everytime I've been into a second hand shot after christmas the walls are always lined with the latest call of duty game does that mean it's terrible? If you don't like it, if it's not what you wanted it to be then thats just unlucky for you most people who play it enjoy it.
You are not taking into consideration the fact that many retailers offered specific deals about trading in certain games to get money off certain other games that came out shortly after BF3.
Surely enough people trade them in, and the retailers lose interest in getting second hand copies (that also lose the online pass).
If you look to BUY a second hand copy though, its similar to the cost of other preowned games considering the time after release.

Well then why is there so many more modern warfare 3s traded in that battlefield 3? I just don't think you can accept the fact that this is a good game.

And you hate anyone that is better than you this is why you all stick together because it is fine to suck at this game with people that suck at it. I am not stranger to these forums and have observed you lot for a long time. You are all a bunch of trolls really that use these forums to feed and try to justify this by some incredible reasoning to feel better about yourselves.
WOW man, did you really say that ?
Of course it's your God-given right to be an A-hole but you have to ask yourself, are all these people that have a problem (with your attitude mainly) wrong ?
Get yourself a REAL life pal...
At least you live up to your name, KID.
And you can go look at my stats dude by all means, they're not as precious as yours but hey, according to you, who's are ?
This thread has been fun to read, although very typical which is a shame because 99% of the lads here are cool (you know, those players that are beneath you)
