That was a good nights work. Lost count of how many rounds that amounted too, but it did include Sureshot shooting me in the head with a Scar, after I took his advice and tried the PKP and me shooting gundalini in the head with a HMG from a T90 when he emerged from a tunnel in Damavand :lol:. My revenge on Sureshot was to them harrass him with a MAV until some other people showed up :D.

That was one great Metro round gundalini! I was a bit pissed off as it booted me for no reason 3/4 the way through, but I luckily rejoined and got stuck in again. We had some good randoms with us, giving us ammo and generally being half decent. Seine was also a great round too, for some reason A became a huge focal point. Had to laugh as we got creamed by a tank early on, I ran around some buildings to flank it and when I returned, gundalini was in it! The Tankmeister.

Good matches chaps 👍
 
Nice to get some fun games in again Mike. 👍

First round at Damavand I got kicked and when I re-joined I was on the opposing team where you unceremoniously shot me while you where in the tank. :lol: Oh well fairs fair I think I got you in a tank at Damavand once a long time ago. Your team slaughtered us there, in the end I was in survival mode.

Next up at metro I swapped teams and glad I did as our team never looked like losing there.

Seine Crossing was a good round that either team could have won really. I noticed Sureboss joined us here too on the opposite team. Somehow SB you ended up standing right next to me for a few seconds until I realised you were on the opposing team. :lol: Of course I then promptly shot you in the face (sorry about that) :sly:.

Final round at Bazzar you had me laughing to myself Mike as I was watching you unload what looked like about 400 rounds from your MG in the alleyway. That thing looked like it was suffering from a bit of recoil.

Oh one of the randoms we were playing with (newman335) is my apprentice from work so I was spawning between the two of you.

All in all a fun nights gaming. 👍

Cheers Shaun.
 
So Im browsing through the leader boards for this game, and I find the one for the player with the highest score on PS3, its this guy, whats strange is, he is level 26, in just 7 hours of playtime, a feat which took me near 28 hours to complete. What strikes me as strange is his K/D ratio, which is an unbelievable 118. The man only has 9 deaths. yet over a thousand kills, he has the combat efficiency medal 4 times.

How is it done? Of his 6 hours and 59 minutes, 6 hours and 19 of them have been in the 9K22 TUNGUSKA-M.

What does this tell me? Well it certainly makes me wonder why Im playing the game the way that I do when I can play it like this and power through the levels at four times the rate.

Then when you consider that all of his playtime is in a mobile anti air, I thought the mobile AA was excluded from the console version of this game?

But then I search youtube and find this:

And now the amount of quits this guy has makes sense, he only plays Rush on Noshahr Canals. Its about this time that I realize that the guys name is AbuseTunguskaLOL. :lol:

I'd seen two of you running up those stairs, got a hitmarker on someone and ran up, saw nothing, went in to that little corner and I only saw you when you shot me. Not that my Scar would stand a chance at that range against the USAS!

Annoying that I couldn't connect to you for an hour or so, but finally got in.

Mike, that MAV was annoying. I knew you wouldn't fly it in to me. I should have found somewhere else, but got some nice M9 kills around then! Last game at Tehran was horrible. Not a fan of it.
 
I went 95 - 17 Playing Rush against noobs last night. Yes, I do have pics.. I'll get them here soon.

That's the role of support right :sly:. That thing has huge recoil off the first bullet, and then none. When you stop firing, the barrel drops about a foot again.

He was in all the right places when I needed to spawn 👍

Sureboss
Too an hour to join

Yea, that was a shame. I shot you an invite at one point, only for it then to kick me from the same game. I was would have joined you, but you were playing Rush, which I don't like tremendously.

PS: Yea, the round at Tehran sucked as we started with a full team and had a few quitters, so we got overrun.

Also, I justed noticed you don't get service stars for Mortar :grumpy:.

No, but you do get 10,000pts when you hit 300 Mortar kills. Meh, I think the mortar is poor for objectives and I'll only lose it in an inevitable loss.

I was playing Rush because I couldn't get in to the Conquest servers (and finished off the relevant assignment). The servers are horrific at the moment. SortitoutEA.
 
Hmm. Looks like I might be playing some Rush soon. Just need to arm 5 Mcomms and spend another hour at Karkand to get the PP19.

It must have been me that you hit. I got hit a couple of times going up the first flight of stairs and was actually cowering in fear in the corner getting my health back when you showed up.

:lol: You were definitely suppressing them that's for sure, it gave me the chance to cross the alley. 👍
It just look funny when you started/stopped shooting with the recoil.

He's the one who actually got me started on BF3. If you end up in a team with him, hang around him, he's alot better player than I am.

Yesterday it was feast. Today it was famine.

Got owned this morning running a bit with gundalini and a bit before and then this afvo Daniel and I got squashed a few times by some rather good players. Daniel, I'll dig out my mic next time so we can co-ord a bit easier. SOFLAM was a good idea :dunce:!

The irritating trend in the last day has been that in at least 5 rounds, I have only been killed by one player for all my deaths, the entire round.
 
New Marksman record: 724m from RU Base to the Building under the crane opposite the map on Firestorm.
 
Shaun, I usually roll with the L96 because it comes with a Flash Suppressor as default so people don't know where I'm shooting from unless they find out where I'm hiding via the killcam.
 
Don't they significantly reduce the range of the rifle though?

I see a lot of different things you can add to a gun, but when I read the description, they all seem to detract from it's possible maximum performance in some way......

Am I just being too clever, and should I just try them out and form my own opinion of what worx and what doesn't?

Could someone list what they have added to their guns, and why, and whether they've noticed a decrease in performance, but an advantage that is worth that decrease?

I understand a flash suppressor will mean you are harder to find, but that doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to me if it means I have to fire twice to kill someone, as I'm lucky to hit the target with the first shot, let alone a second.....

Thanx for your time.....

Touche maybe I'll be one of those idiots camping at the map to beat you now although 626 was difficult and that's 100m more than mine! Nice shot.


VEXD description =/= reality. Frag rounds on shotguns are supposed to reduce damage too but they definitely do not.
 
I know it'll be a set up, but can someone help me get a 1km+ Marksman? I think I know where you could get that on a console version of Op. Firestorm: The shallow hill behind the US Deployment to the hills to the right of the Russian runway. I think there's a sightline through there.

This. Suppressor is supposed to decrease accurate, I find it enhanced it on my A-91 and FAMAS. I used to have a heavy barrel on the FAMAS but it had more kick then the Suppressor, which is inverse logic. Other then that, I alway have a Foregrip if there is an option for it.

I think in the next update, DICE will be nerfing things like this and making flash suppressors etc actually decrease accuracy like they ought to.

Also, got my 'enemy vehicle kill' just now - was running around Kharg when I spotted an enemy spawn beacon. Suicided, came back, done 👍. Not sure why I bothered though, it's not like I'll give up the A-91 :indiff:.

Had a few nice rounds beating up some noobs this morning. I'm starting to really like Metro when running with a semi-competent team.

Here's my main two loadouts depending on the map, USAS for close in stuff and G36C for open maps.

G36C
Kobra sight.
Foregrip.
No barrel attachment.

I tried all the barrel attachments and was using the suppressor for a long time. Found/ I think it was reducing my damage per hit, when I removed it the damage per hit seemed to improve. Not sure if it's just a placebo effect or not. I found the heavy barrel produced more recoil.

If available I always fit the foregrip, seems to help with accuracy for me anyway.

Sight is a personal thing, I just want something with a fast action. Magnification isn't really important for the G36C as it's range isn't great anyway.


USAS

Kobra Sight.
Extended Mag.
Frag Rounds.

Standard mag gives you 22 rounds, extended is 44. Obvious reason for this attachment.

The frag rounds supposedly reduce damage, if anything I'd say it's the opposite. For example in say the alleyway at Bazzaar, if you are in opposite rooms in the alley just firing into the room with the bad guy will often net you a kill. Range seems to be alot longer with the frag rounds as well.

For the sight, see above. Oddly enough the last unlock for the USAS is the rifle scope, that should come in real handy. :dopey:

I can if you do the same thing for me. :) Lol
 
Guys can you answer this for me, I dont think it deserves another thread. Im 4 points away from heatseakers for my jet, and since then i have disabled 3-4 vehicles since then, and got a couple kills, but none of these have unlocked the heatseakers, but instead the points go to the kit that I have equipped at the time. I play on ps3, anyone know why?
