Last night I played a game on the opposite side of Mike and Veyron. I think I got them both before they left. Were you guys having a rough night? After that every game I joined my team was worthless.

Our team was outnumbered by 3 when we started, then you jumped in the other side to make it 4. I waited for you to switch over, but you didnt, and then people started bailing from my team. I think I left when we were outnumbered by 4 or 5.

Tomorrow if anyone is up for it I want try out a trick with the recon trick. The trick is too fly around on the Mav it would be great if we could all be recons and just snipe people so who is up for it?

Sorry about that man, when I joined you guys were in a full squad so I couldn't do much. And when the next game started I didn't realize that either you guys or myself was placed on the other team until I got you.
 
He was talking about it being slightly simpler, cos to be fair, I didn't have a clue what you were talking about even though I've been following this thread for some time!
 
Some good fun tonight, finished off the 3 SQDM wins quite quickly (I picked up one when I joined the first game on the winning side, lucky, I only spent about 30 seconds in that match). Then had some good games of Rush, the penultimate game at Metro was long, one of the MCOMs they had well covered, but we broke through eventually.

As you can see, most of my kills with the MG36. Started trying other LMGs than the M249. Didn't get on with the Type 88, so far I'm liking this.

Also, getting 8 kills in a Viper (gunner) and then a team mate flying their jet in to you is NFTW. That was annoying, I was hoping to rack up even more kills and unlock more stuff.
 
Chef, join me in a chopper next time, I have all sorts unlocked now.
I'm not sure, now that I think about it, whether you will automatically have the stuff I have unlocked for gunner, unless you've unlocked it yourself, but it's worth a try, besides; I fly better than you.

Toyot; you can't "fly around" on the MAV.
You can fly up, or fall off.
As soon as you move about the character falls off, unless you have some uber balancing skillz, yo.
It certainly does not make a good platform for trying to snipe from.
Most, including myself, use it to get to a high roof, then set up a beacon, find and spot targets, and try to get some good flag defence and long range kills in.
Even the getting to a roof part is tricky, but can be easier if you are transporting your mate up, rather than yourself; as they can adjust to the angle of the MAV as it tilts, whereas you can't do 🤬 when you are trying to get your own little sniiipez man up to the rooftop.
I'm just going to go have a look at yootoob to see if I've missed the latest 'trick' in MAV usage though, as you may know something I don't.......

We had a great matches yesterday. One squad can make a difference ( us) ;)
 
Not a bad day's play behind me. Ended up at Caspian an inordinate amount of times but generally did ok there, especially with people whizzing around in jeeps, my mines earned their keep.

Time to find another Engi weapon though. Getting tired of the A91. Is the QBZ thingy from the second assignment any good?
 
The mines are still usefull if only for the jeeps now. Conversely while I'm driving a tank I love them, with the thermal optics they can't be missed. Each two that you blow up earns you a ribbon and 200 points. Nothing better than coming across about 10 mines very close together and one shot from the cannon earns you 500 points.

Can't say I've tried the QBZ thingy and to be honest I don't see many people using it. Besides three more ranks and you unlock the USAS :sly:.

Cheers Shaun.

Great games last night... SQDM were done quite quickly but well fought matches 👍 The Rush round on Metro was off the hook! It just kept going and going. Crazy fire fights all over the place.... Lets do it again very soon! :p

Edit: Looking at the battle report afterwards it looks like we did quite well in that round :sly:
 
Question: Do you guys tend to stick with one weapon (I see people online with tens of stars on things like the USAS and M249 :yuck:) straight off or do you focus more on unlocking things? I have 1/2 weapons I'd prefer to use on each class, but currently I'm drawn more towards unlocking as much as I can..

Also, feel free to add me, I don't tend to use my mic much but I'm more than up for a game whenever 👍

I tend to spend most of my time using one weapon (FAMAS) because that way I do not have to keep readjusting for different weapons.

Hers that video about the Mav 👍
Click to expand...

Oh right, thanx Toyot.

My bad, you must have mis-understood me when I said that you can only fly upwards with a MAV, and not 'around', as you will fall off.

What I meant to say was:

YOU CAN ONLY FLY UPWARDS WITH A MAV, AND NOT 'AROUND', AS YOU WILL FALL OFF.

Sorry about that. Sometimes I don't make myself clear.

The video proves that a MAV goes vertical only, too.

I found that one along with a whole host of vids last night, but so far my favourites are still the slo-mo ones, the ones made with real humans doing BF schtuff, and the 'Mythbuster' ones.....

:irked:👍

It's great fun when we can squad up as 4, we should do it more often. Y'know, I have some Squad Rush ribbons I need to get...

That should be more sane as it's just 4 v 4 rather than 4 lots of 4, isn't it?

VEXD - My flying has improved, but yeah, you're better. We need to mic up when we're doing it though. Next unlock is guided missile for gunner, which should improve things a bit. Need to focus a bit more on air targets, but it's difficult when you're pointing the nose down and I can only shoot at ground targets ;) Guided missiles should help that, only about 2500 points away.

I switched to my Support class at Karkand earlier, went to use my MG36 and it's got the borked animation, didn't know that gun suffered from that. Isn't it about time they fix that? Has anyone got a list of guns affected?

Tell you what also annoyed me the other day, got some points in a jet, "Yay!" thought I, should help me unlock the next item (which is the first item, flares), except it's the A-10, so it doesn't go towards it. Like how some of the Kastaka and similar choppers don't count towards the Scout helicopters. Air warfare is so unbalanced and it's poor design choices like this that cause it.

It's ok it would be fun to do it tho you know give it a try:tup
 
Fun few rounds there gundalini, although the other team made us work for those wins, even though they had no wings in their team. Not sure what happened at Seine - spawned on you and their got booted.

Not too sorry mind you, was having an awful round; my bullets seemed to be made of jelly as I was emptying half a clip into guys and find they were still 100% on their kill cam.
 
Got my 5 conquest wins on my way to unlocking the QBZ-95B. I took my fair share of deaths but the highlight was being on the gun in the Viper on Oman trying to take out a tank. Started taking fire from a jet so I bailed, pulled the parachute, took out my RPG and fired taking out the tank.

I have reached 500 kills with my two best weapons (M416 and A91) and now am experimenting with different weapons but not having as much success, except with the L85A2 that I got with my 5 Squad Deathmatch wins. Love the L96 sniper rifle, though!

I stick with a weapon up to a point but then experiment with different ones. The reason you see guys with the USAS and tens of service stars is because once you get the frag rounds unlocked on that thing you're unstoppable. It is very OP.

The SG553 is apparently quite good, I think its the second to last Co-op unlock. Haven't got it myself but I hear from around the web that it is.

P90 is good too, and its for all classes.

All in all a great fun afternoon for me. Even more so when you joined. :D
Like you said we were made to work for it even though if you were going purely on ranks we should have dominated. Maybe Dices's matchmaking actually worked here. :dopey:
Same thing for me at Seine before I was cut from the server. Up until that round I was doing really well (for me anyway) and suddenly I couldn't hit the side of of barn from 2 foot away. I'm going to put it down to lag ;).

Thanks for the enjoyable games 👍, which brings me to this.

VEXD
Why don't we organise some sort of practice session with Mike and Shaun and Dzidza and Blitz at some point......
I reckon if we tried hard enough, we could all be online at about 10am GMT on a sunday.
Then we could get some strategy organised and some roles being stuck to, and some proper noob killing would commence....

It's an idea, right?

:irked:👍

I've been kind of hoping that someone would put their hand up to organise this. If no one wants or doesn't have the time to organise it I'll put my hand up to do it.
Firstly though, I will say my personal life can get busy at times so it may take me a little bit of time to get it all organised.
For anyone still interested in VEXD's idea let me know by either PM or this thread as I do always check this thread when I sign into GTP and I'll put some ideas up for everyone to contribute too.

Mike, a bit of advice here (from a mod's perspective) would it be worth starting a new thread for this (to help with organising) or to just use this thread for any relevant conversation/organising?

Click to expand...

Yes and no from my point of view.
USAS and frag rounds doesn't equate to unstoppable, I'm testament to this myself. I'll be honest in saying the reason I use the USAS is because my aim in Battlefield isn't what I would call top notch. The USAS (or any shotgun for that matter) helps me here.
Any guy who is a good aim with an assault rifle, with it's better rate of fire and distance will out shoot the USAS 80% of the time.

I'd say it's more the frag rounds that are more OP than the gun itself. They do give you what I feel is unrealistic range from a shotgun. That been said you have to be very carefull in close combat with the frag rounds as it's easy to blow yourself up, believe me I've done it more times that I care to admit. :dopey:

Cheers Shaun.

I propose a new thread, moreso for ease of discussion and arrangement. Otherwise, it will be a cross-convo with the normal stuff discussed in here 👍

Once the new thread is up (don't want to steal your thunder) I/we can link the platoon thread too.

PS: I am of course, interested in participating too :)

Ok I'll it give a couple of days then I'll put together a new thread.
Most of the guys that come here seem to do it on a pretty regular basis that I've noticed so a couple of days should be enough for a start.

I am up for it, though i would appreciate notice in advance so i can work things out with my wife regarding who will take care of our son :). But we must find server that is in the middle of our route, so we don't experience big lags
 
Starting Feb 10th im going in overnights for a month. Wednesday-sunday nights. Recently I have been able to get online with my ps3 at work. Ill be down to play with you guys anynights.
Im not sure where I stack up to you guys but play an active engineer. Repairing, vehicle attacking, capturing/ defending. Ill pick up kits often to drop med/ammo/beacons etc.You know , actually play battlefield. But have almost no friends who play. Sometimes randoms work quite well, othertimes ehhhh we all know how that goes.


Anyway, Id be down for some multisquad team work. I need to make some good use of my all but useless javelin. Really poor weapon when not paired with soflam.

My psn is caswellhouse

Located in New England for server location/lag purposes as dz^^^^him^^^^ said.
 
Great way to earn exp. Play Conquest, drive a jeep. Flag to flag wich are taken by other team. So you get about 400points from one capture. I got about 5000points just doing this and killed few guys.

[Edit]: Had, To earn money first.
