^ M-Com defender ribbon is one that has alluded me as well.... I have no idea how to get it even though I do see M-com defend bonuses come up during a match... But never the ribbon... Stationary emplacement should be doable as long as you hit your target and they don't see you :p I don't have that ribbon either, but I'm not very accurate with those launchers...

SQDM is not a great mode, but if youre squaded with 3 others you know and you work together its very doable :)

Your question about how much time it takes to unlock the next area in Rush mode, I'm not really sure?
 
I have a question. Does anyone know the length of time it takes between Rush areas for the next area to become 'active'? I keep trying to run into the Out of Bounds area so I can get a jump start on the Defenders but end up getting timed out most of the time. How long is the delay? 15 seconds or something? Is there an exact amount from the moment the 2nd M-Com is blown up to the 3rd and 4th appearing?

I was always under the impression that as long as there were defenders still in and around the exploded MCOMMS, the next MCOMMs would not open up. That is, you had to clean out the defenders hanging back first, before being allowed to attack the new MCOMMS. BC2 was like this.

Thanks 👍

Wow, really? Whenever I rarely play Rush, as a defender, I usually just give up the position of the MCOMMS. I wonder if Im the only one who doesnt know this? Really changes up the game mode for me, as now I will actually try and kill a couple more dudes to take away from their ticket count.

Which reminds me, do the attackers tickets always go back up to a predetermined amount, or do they increase by the same amount each time an MCOMM is taken?

No, it's like 15-30 seconds, and there are always defenders still there, but that 15-30 seconds clears probably half, and sometimes you get spawn campers

It's just the fact that your team is now spawning there makes it seem like that
 
^^I am sure that if he needs help with SQDM we will come to the rescue, won't we Blitz187

Sure why not? :) With a good squad the mode was bearable 👍

Don't they just go back up to 100 or 90 or whatever it is?

I should really pay more attention :dunce:
 
If DLC is paid subs, I'll pass. I don't need a bigger better battlelog.

Also, there is a new short Mythbusters (7) out on the tube. I'll be mining up my jeep on caspian now! Tired of running into tanks!

Whats your PSN name? I will clean up my list and add you tonight :) Planning to go online for some matches tonight.

- OoOPS Double post... :dunce:
 
Why the hate on SQDM?

It is a good mode if you have a squad that stays +- together. Best is when the squad splits up on 2+2 an one is flanking.
Hillariously good.

Best matched I had in the last day where Team DM. Favorite even the server. Until yesterday we had a hacker with the beta exploit. Messed up my motivation.
the guy had 200 kills 0 deaths when all our team were not respawning or quiting, aso he changed team and killed of the other team, then I quit and reported him.

On that gamemode my best score was 53Kills / 20 deaths around 8000 points without ribbons

On DLC: I don't like the idea of EA. Dice ahs a nice mentality : we do not want to split users so maps for free (BFBC2)
 
"Out of bounds" area disappears around 30-45 seconds after taking out enemies Mcoms. Your ticket count goes back to 75 (but it can get higher if you revive someone who died before the tickets were reset to 75) on every new Mcom base (which still doesn't explain why the 1st spawned attackers tanks on Damavand and Bazaar are very often glitched ie. no perks available).

In conquest mode, especially in close games, it is good to take a look at the score because the tickets are taken away from your team not when you die but when you respawn. So when the scorre is 3-9 and you own 2 flags, don't respawn.
 
I've had a total of 1 good game at Canals that I can recall. One. I don't especially dislike the map but for whatever reason I always get my ass handed to me.

I need to SS the Support class, closing in on it I think.

I'm missing out on two ribbons at the moment that stop me from getting the Decorated trophy. M-Com defender, which is weird 'cause I play a lot of Rush, and the Stationary Emplacement ribbon.

I want the L85A2 but can't be bothered with SQDM :yuck:

I got stationary placement ribbon in the anti-air guns you can find on various maps, I've had most success with the one at Gulf of Oman in Russian deployment, it can quite a useful weapon, easier with choppers, though all the AA guns are a bit obscure, which is annoying, but I suppose for balance they need to be.

I need to get the knife ribbon, had 3 kills numerous times (or had 3 and then a tank came available), squad rush and the M-Com defender. Don't play Rush much (I don't like it unless am in a proper squad, ie, you lot!, yesterday was in a squad of 3 snipers going for headshots 👎).

Also, MCOM ribbon, is this for disarming 4 MCOMs or killing people who are arming MCOM's 4 times?

I was actually wondering that. M-Com attacker says 'Arm 3 M-Coms', while M-Com defender says 'Defend 4 M-Coms'.. Defend.. Disarm?

Thanks I will try out Gulf of Oman for that ribbon.

Yeah this is something that frustrates me in close games of CQ, I'm screaming at my non-existent mic "STOP SPAWNING YOU FOOLS" :lol:

Only hastening the demise of your team.

Mcom attacker ribbon will be given to you if you destroy 3 Mcoms in 1 round, not only arm them.

And Mcom defender is given for killing 4 people arming (you'll hear characteristic sound) Mcom during 1 round. I got it on first Mcom base @Operation Firestorm. C4 will help you.
 
Yeah I have the attacker one lol.. arm/destroy.. just my poor choice of words.

I'll set down some C4.
 
See, that's why I find Rush so hit and miss compared to Conquest. It was down to 5-4 in the end with about 7 of those people sniping and no interest in the objective. The very definition of boredom and then on so many of the maps they put MCOMs in the worst possible places.

I'll take Conquest any day of the week 👍
 
Seems voip is actually doing its job so far with that new patch. I also got my longest headshot so far but the most disappointing number EVER. 599m. Seriously?, couldn't be just 600 or more? lol

The Rush matches have been kind of dull lately. Yesterday was no exception, did you stay on that server last night? You and VEXD didnt quit the match when I left, so after waiting for a few min. mr_geez and I went on to play Conquest. Had a crazy and close CQ round on Metro though... It was annoying because two guys from the other team kept sneaking into the choke points around B and knifing everyone from behind while they were in fire fights. One of them got me twice! :ouch::ouch: mr_geez also got my tags in one of the earlier Rush rounds... AND jacked my tank! GGGGRRR... :lol: I did have a funny moment on Firestorm though... My first successful jihad jeep... :D Blew up a tank on that long road on the side of the map.

I apologies for yesterdays selection of Rush. Next time I will choose Conquest. There was a funny moment yesterday, when we squad up. You were waiting me to select the mode, and I was waiting You. Good thing we used the voip feature to it's fullest (by being silent) :-D.

:lol:

It was your squad... So I couldnt choose a match even if I wanted too.. :lol: I'm normally for Rush though, but lately the games have been a bit dull and too many servers with one stacked side... :ouch: It was funny though... VOIP sounds crystal clear now and while we were playing we were totally silent.. :lol: I was busy trying to get in the groove though... Got slaughtered hard a couple times last night by mr_geez and later on by theewar because they started out on the other team... :D

@ Mike

Thanks man! Will add you ASAP. :)
 
:lol:

I did't know that LOL.
CQ it is for tonight, if my wife allows me (if she unleashes the lesh, otherwise i'm stuck at toilet LOL)


@mike: at what time do you play (converted into CET time).
 
@mike: at what time do you play (converted into CET time).

Our best overlap bet is your friday night or saturday night (which is my sat/ sun morning). I was going to ask if I could add you, but I figured if I add Blitz, you two play often, so I'll sneak in the back door that way. Else, if you have space on your friends list, I'll add you tomorrow 👍

Got my mojo back at Noshahr. First round was as RU. Jumped in a tank, captured A and B, shot down two heli's with shells, one with HMG and then when my tank was finally destroyed, I killed two Engi's hanging off the sides of a Little Bird with the USAS 👍

Then straight after that, I had one of my top 5 rounds....at the same place, only as US.

My round was shocking...I lost the race to the boats at US, climbed in one as a gunner, got about 5 seconds out and then the dummy driver reverses back into the carrier to spawn camp a heli :rolleyes:. By the time I got the shore, A was captured and B and C were lost. I then proceeded to go 0-4 in a short space of time and we lost A to boot. We got pushed so far back to the carrier that I resorted with another Engi to tag teaming the heli's attacking us, with Stingers off the flight deck! We were about 7x-16x behind in tickets now.

Then someone, somehow, made it to shore and stole A back. and we flipped it on its head. We won by 6 tickets and I ended up 10-6. I could not believe we turned that one around 👍

I'll try to add you also, unless you send me friend request first. In case that I don't have enough space, i'll delete some of the other friends :-).
 
Just missed you mike.

@ holli and sureshot, sorry guys I joined 2/3 of the way through of our first round. Lag was there but kind of playable.
Second round lag was horrible, felt like I was in another game then I got cut :grumpy:.
I went and tried another server and was served up the same and decided to call it a night.
Hopefully we have better luck next time.

Cheers Shaun.
