Anyone interested in an M1 Garrand squad?

Yeah i'd be up for that at some point. Aside from when I play medic I use the M1 more than any other gun now.👍

That your Opinion.

Just thought i'd pay a tribute to the most celebrated gun in WWII :) and IMO, the most beautiful.
Wouldn't it suck getting killed by an M1 when you're using an M16/XM8?

If was i was deployed in Iraq, i wouldn't mind having this as my main AR.

I have been looking for a real M1 Garrand but the prices are so inflated. You really can't touch one for under $800 U.S., if you want one in really good condition it will set you back $1500. I still kick myself in the pants for not getting one for $300 when I was in the Navy. The M1 Garrand was a fine weapon in its day with the knock down power of a 30.06 bullet.

I am definetely game for a M1 Garrand squad, We should do a Squad
Deathmatch though. My son said he is game also.

As I said before, BC2 changes drastically once you pass Level 15. You are with an entirely new league of players. It's pretty amazing. Skill level also seems to play a bigger role in who you get pared with in game. Last night I played for about 3 hours and the lowest level person I saw was level 42 in that time. I'm only level 16 but with a skill level of 199. Daunting is one word I found last night.

I'm back to almost total recon now. I'm finding that with the level of players I seem matched with now (i.e. good teams) I can be a big value as a recon spotting and marking targets. Those guys use my information and when I mark someone up on a rock usually they get their before I get rid of them. It's a wonderful thing.

That being said it's made me sit back and "watch" more as recon...like sit WAY back. I know people moan on and on that they don't think that helps the team and "recon sux" etc etc but with high level players it works.

I've found a recent passion in playing a whole match (on rush say) as recon, spotting and ONLY going for +380 point kills (cross map headshot kills basically). I went three rush matches last night at Arica with 3000 point games with only 7 or 8 kills in that point range (plus alot of knife work since I'm back behind the line cleaning up all the other side's players that hang back to capture tanks and UAVs) where I never got within visual range of a m-con (without my goggles or scope). I know people moan about recon doing that...but again with a good players it works well. I got a bunch of thanks and adds PSN last night because of it.

My favorite kill last night was at Arica and I was on the attacking side. I was in the first attacker deployment behind the first burning tank (way WAY back there). I scoped to the towers in the front of border patrol (on top of the hill) and saw two engineers in the right tower. One was aimed at the town taking out tanks (the game had moved there already) and the other had just killed a recon and was sniping on the "border control" spawn for my team). I lined them up and got a double kill, each 397 point kills, plus the headshots (not sure how the guy behind him also got hit in the head), plus the double kill bonus, plus marksmenship bonuses for well over 1000 points. Claim chowder I know but I've never wished I recorded something in game before. Now I understand why people do that and post to youtube.

The GOL with magnum ammo is a wonderful thing.
 
A WWII squad would be fun, I was talking about doing that with someone before. Thompsons, Garands, M1911s and even an MG3 maybe as it is essentially an ol' German MG42.
 
Alright cool.

WWII Squad:
GTP_Masicampo
Tommi_2000
Jswilli1
Dragonistic

We just need to decide on a date and time :)

p.s. i wish we could put attachments on this gun... but i see how the magazine chamber gets in the way :(

You know what would be cool is to have a Private Squad Deathmatch with just GTP'rs. Maybe this list could grow a bit larger and we can take each other on also? Would help on the Et Tu Brut trophy. Like Dragonistic said we could use all the "old" goodies just like 1943. If we utilize the Chat room through PSN then we can coordinate the matches also.
 
Et Tu Brute doesn't work in private mode, from what I know.

The trophy is for knifing 5 of your friends (in the back) online :trouble: :cheers:
 
Ah, i see... makes sense. I got 3 tags from just one of my buddies. But thats about it.

Did a session just a few hours ago. Arica is still my favorite map. Did a match that lasted almost 30-40 minutes. Went 41-25. Highlights: Gunning down 3 medics with a handgun... and again, gunning down 4 guys (3 medics, and an assault) with the M1 (Hardcore: Rush). Kinda felt Counter-Strike-ish, as i was jumping up and down with the handgun :D

p.s. Just watch 'Band of Brothers' the other night and saw the latest 'The Pacific' episode, so im kind of in WWII mode right now :)

I will most likely be on tonight, I finish up my fourth day of shift work today then I am off for four! I you are on tonight we might be able to try the squad deathmatch with the M1 and 1911? I will get ajwilli1 or Psycho_Sally to be the 3rd person for the match.👍
 
4 insignia's today, I can see a few more coming along in the next few playing hours too. Iirc, 500 headshots, 500 AR kills, squad teamwork and 50 double kills. Double kills are very satisfying. Also got another demolition kill today. Only 18 more to go!

Finding the M14 really good for short to mid-range combat and am getting infuriated with the 200M kills from shotguns...

Just looking at my stats, called in mortar nearly 5,000 times, which means I call one in for every 10 people I kill with the sniping rifles and I have 32 kills from mortars...that stat doesn't seem to add up...

A WWII squad would be fun, though I haven't got the M1, is it as simple as signing up on their website, because I've not played previous versions, I may have rented 1943.
 
Isn't Battlefield Heroes free? Just download that and you'll get the M1 :)

...and yes. I hate it when i get sniped with a shotgun (only in Hardcore mode).
 
Idk I played so much 1943 is was fun, but I think it was only good for that. It's nice in BC2, and I do/would feel crappy when someone guns me down with one, but it is a great weapon.

It would be fun though to do one huge Squad Deathmatch with everyone in a private game. Some of the stats wouldn't necessarily count but it would be pretty fun games
 
Had no time tonight. Had to parte' :]

But yah, like i said, kills u get from the M1 seems to count towards the thompson sub machine gun. That's how it is with me. I barely use the tommy and i have about 300+ kills with it so far.

Yeah I don't even understand how it works. The kills stay on the M1, but the stars you would otherwise get, goto the M1A1, but registers as 0 kills. Now when you use the M1A1, you would think the kills would register and the stars would go to the M1, but they don't.
 
I miss Oasis back in BC1... its still my all time favorite map. Would pay for to see it as DLC.
 
Going back to the WWII squad, why don't we just do a whole night of WWII weaponry for all the GTPers. Thompson, Garand, M1911 or you could argue the MG3 as it's alot like an MG42. Of course we'd still be using modern launchers and such but that's a neccessary evil.
 
Alrighty... any of the WWII guns would do. Im free tomorrow from 1300-2200 hours PST (GMT-7) :)
 
I'd say a friday or saturday night would be the best if possible, that way us Europeans can be up later (even though I can any night :lol:) and we could make a whole thread dedicated to it.
 
I was playing yesterday and experimenting with different weapons. I started using the tracer gun to try and complete my insignia for 100 tracer plants. I was playing Panama running to "C" when I took out 2 of 3 guys on the dry dock wall, went for the pistol and shot the guy center of mass with the dart! Granted I was killed because it didn't kill him, but after I spawned at "B" I saw this flashing red strobe on the dry dock wall at "C". Sure was easy to find him!:trouble:

I was wondering if that was still possible... In the first one you could literally cover someone in them if you wanted to annoy and if you got hit yourself on the head or something, you'd having this nice flashing orb in your view... :p Did you use a missile launcher to get him or just go after him?
 
I think u can actually kill someone with it in hardcore mode. My teamate shot me twice and there was blood on the screen.

I didn't want to be cheap, so I just shot him from "B". My wife got her first set of gold tags last night after a level 41 "noob tubed" her on the ship at Atacama Desert. When she died, she saw where he was and the rest was history. I have yet to get my set of gold tags.

I don't think so, or else it would have a kill counter under the stats. Otherwise I think you should be able to kill someone with it via headshot only though
 
You can kill teammates in HC mode, but you get points deductions like and a message onscreen "-15 for killing teammate". It makes you think twice about calling in Mortar strikes.
 
I love team killing the useless snipers on my team :)
