I felt like this after the Alpha... lol

Metro is no Arica Harbor that's for sure.

Word up, homie.

Even when BC2 was months old, i still prefered playing in Arica Harbor. That's how good it was.


p.s. how do you pull out the Specific Round logs in Battle Log? - nevermind

Just tried the beta for the first time.

After spending about an hour with it, I got 8 kills and countless deaths. I really suck. :lol:
 
Has anyone noticed that they really slowed the planes down? I noticed this in Youtube videos when a plane passed just yards from a guy going slower than you would think
 
Awesome some recoil and has a 20 round clip.

thanks, I loved that gun in BC2



well I was doing a great job and I was with a squad that worked great as a team, then I got...................I don't even know. it went to that black screen that says loading in the bottom right corner and has tips in the bottom center. It never changes it just sits there like that showing tips. So I'm done for the night

It seems to be flying at a speed of Cesna more than a jet - which i think is necessary. The jet would cover the whole length of the map in a few seconds with actual real life speeds :D
 
The take-off distance is also pretty short. 1 second and you are up in the air contradicting everything you know about physics :)

Ya it is necessary but.........it's just awkward, a cessna 172 or piper j3 cub with m60's mounted on it would probably out manuever the jets (jets aren't that manueverable compared to prop planes in general), yet fly the same speed. But I get it, the game would suck if they actually took the cessna model and texture from flightsim and added machine guns on them lol

That actually sounds cool 💡 :D

Don't worry. I went 6/25 in a match last night. I'm usually ~30 kills...

I've decided every gun is better with a suppressor. Once I added it to the A-91, I've probably averaged 10 more kills per match with it.
 
Awsome.
Is it me though or is the scar easier to use with the red dot sight than with the holographic sight?

I prefer the red dot in the subway anyways, because the Holo is just too much red.

I find the holographic sight hard to use actually. I prefer RDS.
 
Ive just unlocked the UMP45 so tell me people which is better scar or UMP45 I cant decide.

Personal preference. I think the scar is slightly more powerful, but you may move a little slower. The UMP has a larger clip and 3 firing modes. I stuck to the scar because I had it first.

Me too. My ratio is about .5 and every time I play, I feel it goes down.
 
I have played the beta over the past few days at my buddies places since I was on vacation.. but all on Xbox.. looking forward to playing it on PS3 in a little bit when its finished downloading..

The key is to basically to hide in plain sight (not literally), go places people don't look, often times a spot may be a great hiding spot but everybody knows about it, I often hide on a rock covered by a shadow covering mcom b #1 and people run by me all the time and i just shoot them, It works better with a silencer, always have a silencer on, it helps a ton. I have it for my mk11, SVD, and m249 and it's awesome with acog and silencer, a good match I'll be way above 1 k/d, sometimes 3 or 4 but my worst matches are about .75

Also utilize the recon mobile spawn thing, put it around the corner from an mcom

As a recon player supressors are great and I use them once we are in the more cqb situations like the tunnels. But when in the beginning especially defending when I use the Ballistic scope (12x) I notice a huge range sacrifice.
 
Just knifed 7 base campers at the tunnel entrance and destroyed 3 mobile spawn points. C4 comes in pretty handy *evil grin*.

Thanks for the tags, noobs.

Spawn camping mobile spawn points is fun... and I imagine quite infuriating for the little toerags.
 
God this game is so much more fun when you have at least one player that you can work with.
 
I had an entire team last night that worked together and it was a whole lot of fun. I only had four kills in the game, but I had a bunch of healing done, revived a few people, spotted a half dozen enemy combatants, and had a bunch of suppression points/decoy as bullet fodder for my two deaths.
 
i agree, that is really what its about, working together.

one team that works together but isn't that good will always reign supreme over a team with only a few seriously good guys and the rest idiots.

cant wait to join the new clan here and work as a team. atleast then when you lose theres nothing but taking of the hat and applaud the other team.
 
Then on the other hand its really annoying when people just DON'T GET IT. I remember one round I had exhausted all my ammo and NO ONE would give me ammo to reload... I would follow them and jump around in front of them, but no one understood.... Calls for a huge *facepalm*.... :p
