BF3 Tehran Highway: Getting up to the overpass=Cheating?
Posted on 2/16/12 at 9:00 pm

This is really pissing me off that people keep using the drones or whatever to get up to the overpass and snipe all day. Anyone else consider this cheating, or at the very least being a doucher? Is there a way to use c4 and bring that whole motherfricker down?

Yea they stand on top of those little drone things. Total cheese dick move imho.

Its definitely cheesing, but not cheating really. Until DICE fixes it (along with USAS) I just work around it. Less people for me to deal with at the objectives.

i have gotten a few that get too close to the edge with my 320 launcher but thats it. i tried mortars once but there was usually another overpass in the way on its trajectory up

I dont think it's cheating, it's just sniping. Yes, its a funky arse way to get on top of an overpass, but in real life snipers shoot from higher elevations all the time.
When I'm in the mood to snipe, I use the MAV elevator to get on top of buildings to wreck shop. Is it cheating/cheesing, i dont think so, its sniping. Im covering my team to take objectives and defending captured flags. If im not using my MAV to get on top of a building, Im just going to get a helicopter to insert me wherever/whichever building i want or parachute on a building using the mobile spawns.
If I wanted a run and gun type game I would go play COD. BF3 is more strategy and I wish people would quit thinking of sniping as camping. It's fricking sniping. I cant run around with a bolt action rifle with a bi-pod shooting it like a pistol.
Also, you are super vulnerable on top of buildings anyhow, so easy to eliminate pesky snipers on overpasses.

It's pretty cheesey. Not really cheating I guess.

There's a difference between sniping and riding scouting equipment to otherwise inaccessible areas.

It's not like they do anything up there.

Got sniped from there a couple of times last night. Hopefully they will patch being able to do that in this upcoming patch.
Would be awesome if we could

You can use a mav to destroy their spawn beacon

To each is own. I really don't take video gaming that serious to get myself all worked up over people flying around on recon drones. What's funny is catching someone doing the MAV elevator and mowing them down with a machine gun.

Yes. Cheesing, but not cheating.

But you can cheese to get on top of things that other snipers who don't have the MAV unlocked can't. Check.

No need for a personal attack, I was just voicing an opinion.

I guess I should specify that I am only playing TDM to unlock guns and upgrades and get my k/d back to 1+ after getting murdered my first few hours of playing. So they aren't covering objectives or anything.
If it isn't cheating it's at least cheesing and annoying as hell. Because if I wind up on that map I know I am going to spend 90% of my time shooting rockets up at the overpass. Kind of makes it lame on TDM.

+1, i agree with you there. I never play TDM due to the amount of people either hiding with that fricking shotgun with the grenade rounds or hiding in a corner with their RPG. I only use the sniper rifle in objective based games. Right now im trying to unlock all the machine guns. Plus, if you ever look at the guys that sit on the overpass, there kills are shite compared to the rest of the room. I dont know how they are able to get that high up on their MAVS, that shite isnt easy.
