Let's Play Battlefield 3, Part 6: Flank Them From the Canal?

And we're back in Black... burn's perspective again, fighting a chaotic, confusing, too-dark-to-see-anything ground war in Iran, being repeatedly told to do things that don't make any sense and being expected to basically shoulder the entire war effort ourselves.

Also, apparently Russian(?) mercenaries aren't fans of Queen.

Let's Play Battlefield 3, Part 5: Failing With Flare

I may have lost part of my mind while recording this. I'm not entirely sure. But at least I'm never going to have to copilot a fighter jet through a crappy, frustrating rail shooter segment again.

... Right?

Let's Play Battlefield 3, Part Four: Leaving on a Jet Plane

You know, I was wondering when I'd finally get to do some vehicular stuff in this game.

Now I'm wondering when I get to stop.

Let's Play Battlefield 3 - Part Three: Clear the area of enemies!

At some point, I hope, I'm going to be part of a huge group of soldiers, driving tanks and APCs and whatnot to capture and hold important locations within a warzone.  When I think of Battlefield games, that's my mental image: huge battles, tanks and mortar shells thundering in the distance, dogfighting planes roaring by overhead.  I do not think of crawling through a bombed-out city, alone, and being solely tasked with responsibility for killing every living thing I see.

I didn't install a Call of Duty game by accident, did I?

Let's Play Battlefield 3 - Part 2: Man the LMG!

I'm not kidding when I say I'm a terrible shot.  I really am, at least when compared to people who play shooters regularly.  Ironically, among my friends I'm considered a highly skilled Halo player, but that's mostly just because they're all sort of terrible.

Sorry, guys.  Just because I learned how to circle strafe in high school doesn't make me pro.  This video should be all the proof of that you need.

Let's Play Battlefield 3 - Part 1: Stay away from the effing cars!

Recording the first part of the Two Worlds II LP was fun, volume issues aside, but I decided I'd run a slightly more action-packed series alongside it.  After taking a look at what games I had on hand, I remembered I'd bought Battlefield 3 on Origin (ugh) a year or so back, played just a bit of the campaign, and then went back to Mass Effect 3's awesome multiplayer.  So, I dusted the old girl off and decided to see if I could have more fun with it by playing as a socially-conscious, reluctant soldier with a slight grasp of the Middle East's geopolitical climate.

Turns out, I could.  Hope you folks can, too.
