Caz
I had one of those days from hell yestrerday.
Absolutely nothing going my way. Then got on a round at siene and was literally killed 5 times in a row spawning by Mutha F frag rounds.

Sorry i bailed blitz. Just one of those nights. Realized it was you after looking names up here.

I had the exact same thing happen to me tonight. A whole team with USAS and RPG overrunning our spawn at the start of the game. The would run in and let loose and get out before the 10 seconds were up so that they didn't incur any death. Those things make this game unplayable at times.

I did that in the match that caz was talking about before I quit, The other team had not one, but two guys camping with their unlimited-mortars. So I grabbed my engineer kit and lobbed a grenade at one and shot the other with my RPG.

The thing that gets me about them is how they do the exact opposite of what the description says. The range on them is longer than that of most of the SMGs and the damage is ridiculous. That, and you don't even have to be hit directly to be killed. Ridiculous. I have it unlocked as of last night and I refuse to use it.

Exactly. I've seen a youtube video of a guy using the frag rounds on the USAS12 to lob grenades at the carrier at the start of a rush game on Kharg Island. He was taking out the boats in the carrier as people were spawning and getting on board.
 
Yesterday matches were great, we where dominating in every way. To bad that we can not have 5 people in the squad :-(.
 
If you set your VOIP to Team instead of Squad, then you can communicate with others in you team who changed it as well 👍 That as close to a 5+ man squad as you can get..

Thx, forgot about that, but my hopes where for squading up before going into match, so that 5 of us can find a match all together, so that we are all in the same server (so that it doesn't happen that four of us get into match and for the fifth it says server full). Maybe this is possible,but I have never tried it!?

Those poor guys on Seine Crossing Rush... :lol: I hate to say it but that was proper base raping right there... :sly:

Edit: Squad system was also acting up yesterday.... And have you all been running into half full servers lately? Or servers that start out full, but empty out really quickly... Had this a lot over the weekend and the last couple of days... Kind of irritating...

^ could have something to do with DICE server maintenance. Today there were heaps of empty servers and I got booted from a few I joined.

The one I did find had about 10 USAS guys on the other team, which ended predictably, in a rage quit 👍
 
Swat Division [SD] Platoon

Look out for our platoon, 47 members, 136 fans. We haven't lost a single game in weeks.

To join you must be level 50 (for new members), we always work as a team & fight to win!
 
^ I'll have to wait a bit.... only level 47 now... :p

And what are the benefits of being in your platoon?? Why do I need to be lvl 50?? What does that prove, that i played a lot!?!?!? I can bet you I am better them most 50 lvl, and I am lvl 30. Skills have nothing to do with level!!

Firstly its not mine, I'm good friends with the owner. If you join you'll be joining a great team that always works together, we have player's that use every class, so we are a great all round platoon.

EDIT: It states that you have had more experience, you know the maps better etc it doesn't mean you have better skill, just more knowledge of the game.

Ok, sorry if my post sounded offensive, it wasn't my intention 👍

With the time it takes to level up, you could learn the maps, forget them and learn them again by level 30.

It does display a commitment to the game though which by extension is a good measure that the players will be active and not dormant members who may as well not be in the platoon. I understand the logic though I personally would never impose such a high target as the norm.

I got to play a couple of rounds last night (finally!) by borrowing my friends disc as Sony still hasn't got me my copy yet which is apparently on the way by now. I miss the game dearly, and the worst part is I know my own disc will arrive mid way through the transition period between internet providers we have coming. Was good to see a couple of GTPers out there as well 👍.

Yep, had some good games there. Be good when you're back up and running properly. 👍

Is ok the recon uses a PDW?

I think we have all been pretty patient up till now, but please remember that put a bit more effort into your posts - more often then not your message is quite hard to fathom.

If you are asking whether Recon should be using PDW, when they are recon and have access to sniper rifles, I don't see why not. At Metro for example, recon is still an asset if used appropriately (spawn beacons i nthe right place, TUGS), but a rifle is pretty hopeless there.

Thankyou!
 
Personally, I prefer either m39 with no scope or holographic, sometimes even an M40 with a low power scope if there is a real need for spawn beacons when defending, otherwise while attacking (rush mode), I use the UMP, and it works like a dream with a good spawn beacon placement
 
For Mi-Long range I normally use the SKS with the Flash Suppressor. 3-4 Shot kill and you're practically hidden with the Flash Suppressor :D
 
I hate playing recon.
I maybe have 25 kills with sniperrifles. Rofl

Had a good coop yesterday. I want my G3!
 
When I play Recon I'm always tempted to use a PDW or shotgun, but I always go with rifles instead. That's because the Recon's gadgets aren't exactly CQB gadgets (except the motion sensor, I suppose, but I hardly ever use that because they're either unnecessary (Metro) or the MAV can do it's job better), so I tend to be at the sort of range where ARs without 4x scopes struggle, not inside buildings or anything like that. That said, a semi auto rifle with a holographic, red dot or no sight at all, a grip and either a flash hider or suppressor (usually suppressor for me, the reduced bullet speed isn't a problem at close range but being able to stay completely hidden is a bonus because of the ROF disadvantage) is a good compromise, but you do really need the element of surprise and shoot first because in the time it takes you to get the required two shots off, any good player will have fired more than enough in return to kill you really dead. The SKS is better in that respect but still quite outgunned by most things, and less useful at longer ranges (like, say, bridge to bridge on Bazaar, where the Mk.11 or SVD with a holo can be useful).

I don't think you do, it's practically pointless now that it's been nerfed. It does a little more damage than any other assault rifle, but it's still a 4-shot kill, combined with much higher recoil, lower rate of fire and a smaller magazine. I suppose it does a little bit more damage at range which might make a difference, but the margin is so small it becomes pointless. I think the best gun I got from co-op was the MP412 REX, it's my sidearm on every class until I get the .44, which will be tonight as I'm about 7,500 points away from level 36.
 
Personally I still use the M39 4x + bipod as my Recon class for closer range maps, try to work the sightlines and post up with the 'pod so you can pretty much fire as fast as you like with no recoil and it's a satisfying weapon to use. I see the logic behind using PDWs on Recon, when levelling the class I used the UMP quite regularly, but I prefer to play with other classes if I really want to get in the other teams' face now I have no want for more unlocks in the class thanks to grabbing the M40.
