Just checked the record on battlelog. Wait for it.

2832.8M

How I don't know, as Daniel said I wouldn't have thought the maps were that big. Can only assume the bullet bounced of about 10 walls. :lol:

Cheers Shaun.

Either a hack, or they're very good at BF3. The formers most likely.

I'd think so. Pretty sure unless your playing on an HD projector that person's head wouldn't be more than a pixel at most.

Caspian Border - deployment to deployment? :lol:

This. Although it may have been staged. I'm guessing it was sniper on the ground at their deployment, and the victim is in a heli hovering over their spawn flying as a passenger/gunman. Then pilot keeps the heli as steady as possible while the sniper takes aim from their base. The added height of the heli should add more length to the sniper shot.

Or the sniper could have done a leet zzgrizz 360000000 backflip MAV jump shot faze fakie no scope and gotten extremely lucky :p
 
PS3 Battlefielder here. When I'm in a "long range sniping mood" I play Conquest on Noshair and snipe from the highest point on the carrier. 528m is my longest one, after many 490~ish personal records.
 
What would be the best weapon load out for the Recon Class?

In order of appearance & ascending in ease of use (in regard to how not annoying recoil and bullet drop is):
  1. Mod 0 with x8 scope & foregrip if you're not good at headshots yet.
  2. M40A5 with x12 scope & straight pull bolt if you're getting good at headshots but don't yet have the M98B.
  3. M98B with with x12 scope & straight pull bolt.

G18 Suppresed or MP412 REX or M1911 Suppressed.

MAV (as soon as you spawn, fly it and place it in a 'hotspot' so you get surveillance ribbons.

Radio Beacon (try and place it places which will allow you to parachute and fly to higher ground, inside garbage canisters, on the toppest floors in a building, or in a place where your squad will be more likely to spawn thus giving you spawn ribbons.

SQD AMMO, because if you're good and/or you simply end up firing too many shots without being killed, you'll run out of ammo very quickly.

Wow thnks thats very useful 👍

Edit: but these are for long range engagements arnt they tho? i use a PDW for close quarters and a Magnum hand gun which is good..
 
"the Type 88 light machine gun, the DAO-12 shotgun, the Flash Suppressor for the SKS rifle, and Flechette ammunition for shotguns."

Could have sworn the SKS was provided too - I have it unlocked but I don't remember ever having unlocked it :dopey:

Also from bf3blog:

Yes, you get the SKS with the Physical Warfare pack also.

How high can you go in a jet on BF3?

Cheers Shaun

Straight climb about 1200 ft AGL, but highest cruising altitude is about 1000 ft AGL plus or minus 50 ft, Just don't stall, and use your afterburner, but you lose about 200- 300 ft if you stall
 
I think it was ilikewaffles11 but if anybody is trying to get trophies and can't get the 10 kills with each Back to Karkand trophy to come up then:

After unlocking all guns and getting 10 kills with each one you need to get 10 kills in a single game with the FAMAS and then the trophy comes up. I had the same issue but somebody put that on Battlelog and I tried it, it worked.

I'll have to try this out, I'll tell you how it goes.

Yes, the whole point of Scout is to spot and kill over medium to long ranges. The pistol is there for CQC or just some run & gunning when feeling bored. :dopey:

I can confirm this method works. Got the trophy this way.
Also keep in mind that you don't necesseraly have to unlock the weapon to get 10 kills counted for it. If you have a friend who unlocked them, take his weapon after he dies and go do your 10 kills. 💡

Yeah the Scout is the recon Correct? But what i use for Close ranges is a Shotgun and a PDW and put my Mav on tall buildings and objects and when i want to snipe from a long way i use a sniper rifle 👍
 
And by 'your' you mean my MAVs? :p
Problem is, you can only move up or down, not horizontally or you'll fall off.
 
You can move back and forth, just veeery slowly hehe. God knows how many times I fell off and died :(

Oh, and since people are talking about it. My longest headshot is only 274. I don't really like to hang that far back as recon personally. Even if i'm using my M98. More of the time I'm running around with that VSVAL? or an SKS with a hollow and suppressor.

Funny 👍

Because it's true :(

I'm not a big fan of Recon squaddies who hang back a gazillion miles "spotting" but actually trying to play for their stats. I don't see how people can be racking up huge headshot distances by 'playing the objective' unless the other team is so bad that they been pushed back to spawn and are happy to sit there getting monstered.
 
Started using the M26 MASS last night on Metro because I read on Battlelog that when combined with Flechette ammo, it becomes a deadly combo.... :) Range is rather short though, so its probably best suited for Metro, Seine Crossing or Grand Bazaar. Ive managed to unlock frag rounds and they have a bit more range but less stopping power then the buck... :) Can't wait to open up Flechette ammo to see if its really as deadly as they say... If you aim for the upperbody or head its OHK... 👍
 
I've never really understood which is deadlier: flechette, buck or frag. On the 870C at least, flechette seems weak and buck the better option. Haven't unlocked frag though to see how that is.

If you aim for head, then everything is deadly :-p

Not sure, I think its different for every shotgun... USAS-12 is definitely FRAG rounds... :p I think most shotguns are best with buck though... Not 100% sure though

If you aim for head, then everything is deadly :-p

True :p I noticed if I didnt hit upperbody with the M26 MASS, it was two shot kill. So I guess just aim for upperbody and youre good... :lol:

On another note... Sorry for not being on the mic the last few matches we played... I'm usually playing in the living room so unless its late at night and my significant other is sleeping, I most likely won't be very talkative... Need to think of a better gaming setup :p

Completely understand you :-). I am in a similar situatuion with my kid, so I often need to be very quiet, and I can't express me thrills :-).
Btw. I was laughing at GTP_fairplay yesterday,(in my self). His german english accent is enough for me to have a good time :-).
GTP_fairplay you need to talk more :-).


It's such a pleasure to play BF3 with you ;-)
