I like how flares don't break lock anymore but one missile still isn't enough to take anything out. Even if you get a hit the range is so short now that the target is well out of range repairing before you can even reload.

Easily combated annoyance with friends fortunately. It's as simple as 3-2-1-Fire once you get those pesky flares fired off. It's a much more viable tactic to be an anti-air engineer now on alot of maps so long as someone's doing it with you. Previously it was just flicking peanuts at aircraft and assisting something else because the lock took so long and kept getting broken.
 
You froze out of that sienne game rightbat the end?????? Suck!!!

I went 33 and 1 ;)


Happened to me a few days ago. I was pissed because my avenger medal was earned that round too.

*yawn*
72 and 20.
 
A great few rounds the Daniel and gundalini. Although, at first I thought it was "GTP vs Mike Rotch" at Metro as you lot all ended on the other team!

Anyway, QBB-95 is my new favourite LMG. Hardly any recoil, good ROF, feels deadlier over mid range then the PKP (probably its accuracy) and it just feels light to handle when running around with and bipoding. Pity it has no extended mags, but 75+1 still makes it handy! Definitely a great 'aggressive support' option.

'second resupply medal in 4 days. *not bad*

@ Brad - You've gotta love it when squadding up goes well (and Spawn Killing people at Damavand waiting for the Z-11W :dopey:)

Good News, Everyone!
Turns out that I still got all the ribbons and points from the Seine Crossing game. I've told JeriNinja (my friend) to join GTP if he wants so we can talk about some tactics, BF3 stories etc - it was our idea to use the transport helos Black Ops-Style (which can net us a lot of kills/points) and running around in Jeeps with C4 on the front :trouble:

The Jeep flying was fun as well, Cowboys :lol:

 
Yeah was fun Mike. Thanks Daniel 👍.

We did quite well until the last round really. Sorry my mic went flat so the last two rounds I couldn't comunicate.
Caspian was fun with Daniel painting targets in the chopper with Mike and myself seeing who could get the first shot in with the javelin.

Nice driving in the Lav/Bmp at Bazaar Daniel when we stole the Bmp :lol:.

Just as you guy left my mate joined the squad, would have made a great squad with the fout of us. Next time maybe.

Good to see you as well cowboys.

Cheers Shaun.
 
I remember dropping Mike off to steal the Z-11W but some enemies got into it before he could. I actually destroyed the Z-11W and told Mike to get back into the Little Bird but he suicided before he could get in :lol: I must've made a few mortal enemies that game..

I discovered that if you get D/C'd from a game, DO NOT join any other round until the round you got kicked from has completed. If you do join another round, your points accrual from the kicked one goes bye bye, but if the round completes, it (almost always) treats it the same as a quit and you get your points.

Yea, I was like "what you want me to steal a heli. But I can't fly! But Ok!!". Then some enemies spawned in it and all of a sudden the Little Bird seemed about 18 miles away and I got killed by the hand of DICE.

This is wierd, why doesn't my javelin track jets and helicopters? It only works with tanks and scout vehicles.

Javelin is designed for ground vehicles and will not pick up air vehicles unless they are lazer painted.

Hey, did anybody else notice that they MG36 and QBB-95 had their extended mags removed in the patch :odd:.
 
Good to hear about that round Daniel.
I wish there helicopter didn't wxplode when we rigged it with c4 and put it back at the spawn point.


Just realized we probably all logged off the server without changing the rotation back from Caspian only. I'll check in a little bit. Heading to breakfast with the wife and kid ;)
Happy Easter everyone.



Ok. Servers set back to ranked and public. Also took it off Caspian and put back to my medium core settings.

Please make sure if you mess about with the settings that you return them to a random map rotation unlocked, ranked with300% tickets.
That's my only request. If it sits on one map or locked it will never get traffic.

2-hr Conquest on Gulf Of Oman

Tried a few Jets and well......tried is the word. I got to a point where I though I got the hang of flying and went right into a building. Made me laugh and hopefully others did too. Had a few "DICE God Hand" suicides too(I'm noticing this seems to happen more after patch) hahaha!

Copters turned me to minced meat. Fun match though. 👍
 
I probably wont make it on today but you two who just posted, feel free to add me.
Friend of 20+ years is moving across the country tomorrow. Literally. From mass to Idaho :( so Shes coming by for some drinks. At least that's the plan
 
Has anybody experienced "soldier freezing"?

It has happened to me on Metro and Seine; I'll be going about my bid'nis when suddenly my soldier gets frozen. I can't run, walk, prone, crouch jump. Just turn in circles and a little red symbol appears in the corner of the screen showing two ends of a plug disconnected. At first I thought my controller was flat, but tonight it happened to my entire squad. Luckily after going to the menu and resuming, it fixed, but before it hasnt done the trick. Happened to an guy on ther team too, as when I rounded a corner after my experience, he was stuck in the "MAV" pose, even though he was assault. I "helped" him out by shooting him.

For interests sake, IR smoke in tanks is super effective. I was up the tower at Firestorm when an enemy tank tried to ambush our tanks coming from deploy. I thought "fish in a barrel", but was sadly mistaken. As soon as he popped smoke, the missile actually veered away from the tank, and he was able to pop smoke quicker then I could regain the lock. I eventually got him when he drove out of his cloud prematurely, but it wasted all almost my Javs.

That's been happening to me a lot lately. It's so annoying.

Play the objective. Dont go for k/d

It was a a slaughter. Interested to know,How to play objective when your team has all four flags.
At that point the objective is to kill kill kill. Did get 2 flag defender ribbons because, well, I do play the objective.

The link for the match in discussion is posted here already. I think Daniel posted it. Final tik count was over 1000 to zero.

That match is a perfect example of why mortaring from your spawn point should have not been removed.
If the enemy team owns all flags, you should be able to mortar from base. It would have helped that team out tremendously in that match. The whole time I had our tank I was waiting for the mortars to start coming. Forgot about the "fix"

Are you on PS3? This has been happening to me since the game came out on PC but my brother, who plays on PS3, said it only started since the last patch. It's infuriating, so many times I've been in the middle of a fire fight or running up to a tank I've been stalking for a few minutes to C4 and then I get the disconnect icon, I can't move but the game continues without me. Sometimes I can't even suicide or quit. Funny thing is if I'm on my PC and he's on my PS3 in the same room we'll both get it at the same time.

Edit: also I once killed a guy with a Javelin missile because the tank he was repairing popped smoke at the last second, so it veered off into his face. Then the tank driver hopped out, started to repair it, then a noob hopped in without reactive armour or smoke before it was repaired and was an easy double kill for my next missile.
 
Well I assume it's just another thing DICE got wrong and won't fix. My brother has been playing today and can't finish a game at all, yet our internet connection is fine... Very strange.
 
You're making an assumption it is something they can fix. Sounds like connection issues, especially, "Funny thing is if I'm on my PC and he's on my PS3 in the same room we'll both get it at the same time.".
