I am convinced 90% of the ppl who play sniper use aimbots. Too many perfect headshots. Or they are just CS faggots. Not sure which.

LOL. its not that hard to snipe, you just need to get used to the system. But it is true that i honed my sniping skills on my college CS addiction back in the day.

u can checkout this one vid from TF2 i did when replay first came out, couple of mid air headshots, would u say I'm using aimbot ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfTO...xt=C368c48dUDOEgsToPDskLhOIkilTJs-Io77tShxmRi

I believe that point of view is flawed. Recon can be an awesome attack class. They have spawn radio beacons, they have TUGs and MAVs, and they can equip semi auto rifles with iron sites.

Recon can be played two ways, you don't have to camp or even snipe.

That's true, but the large majority of people who play it don't play it that way. I agree, you get unhelpful players in all classes, but it seems like recon really attracts those who don't want to get in the mix (like the guy who takes the tank and tries to snipe with it from two flags over). For those players, Rush defender is the one time they can still contribute meaningfully. Maybe I'm just bitter at watching 4 guys hide in the trees while a single enemy squad systematically takes all the flags and we lose (while they're celebrating their 6-0 KDR).

I have tried to play recon in a meaningful way, using either the PDW, the semi-auto rifles with holo, or the shotgun, and for some reason I find it hard to get in the mix also (part of it is feeling defenseless from armor, and knowing I'm going to lose the around the corner engagement), so it is partly understandable, but it doesn't seem like most players can contribute as much with recon as they can with assault or engineer.
 
I figured out what this game really is.... a mix of CSS(HORRRIBLLEEEE hit boxes) and CoD. Only reason why there is a BF name on it is because of the different shit you can drive/pilot.

Game is garbage.

IF you've been playing Recon with a shotgun try it with the SKS or Mk11 with iron sites. I LOVE the SKS with irons, the foregrip, and a silencer.

The DAO-12 with flechettes is awesome, though. Dropping an entire single file squad formation with one or two shots fired is priceless. Watching them fall like dominoes puts a smile on your face.

Thanks for the tip. I just tried it and my SPM actually went up a couple points running around with the SKS with no attachments. I haven't touched recon except for some shotgun recon, so I was very surprised.

Worst Battlefield hacks ever.......way to go EA/DICE. You all FUCKING SUCK AT CODING. You would think in 2011 they would have it figured out by now.

What the fuck are you talking about. EA/DICE's coding has completely fuck all to do with people cheating. That's Evenbalance's responsibility.

See, the problem is the vast majority don't play attack recon's, they play the sit on top of a distant rock in prone all game taking pot shots at everyone recon. I seriously think these players royally suck at the game or else they wouldn't be content spending the entire game sitting one place for a handful of nuisance kills.

The largest problem is this game is FILLED to the brim with these noob's. I've been on 64-man servers where half the team is these people.

My K/D is better than this. He's an M320 noob. I'm a PKP PECHENEG spammer. I guess i'm missing the stats where he hacks.

When I first clicked the link for the SVD, I saw 55.8 percent accuracy. I refreshed the page and saw the stats that the others are quoting.

I dunno. I guess i'm naive when it comes to hacking. Unless it's completely obvious...like last night when I was getting fragged on Metro when I was on the middle flag on second floor and the guy killing me was underground near the US spawn.

SVD is 220%, SV99 is 55%. Look at the past rounds and not the stats. Seems to be a a m320 noob who is now a cheater. One round 60+ kills no deaths, another 100+ kills no deaths. Expand the page because it looks like they got kicked/banned and dont know up in the normal player list. One battlelog shows 3000% accuracy. No doubt a cheater.

It almost feels like you're carrying a Garand with the rate of fire, open sites, and easy recoil. The 30 round mag is definately nice.

It's awesome being in a squad which is playing the support roles properly, healing, providing ammo, repairing / destroying armor, and spawing on the squad leader or a recon becon while the recon's TUGS or MAV provides intel around the AO.

How do the game stats even allow you to have an accuracy greater than 100%? Shouldn't that automatically throw some kind of error/flag up?
 
Finally got 5 SQDM wins. Time to get 20 kills with the underslung grenade launcher.
 
Found a neat trick maybe someone doesn't know.. Was on Metro, stuck at the bottom of the escalators, used the M320 and shot the ceiling above the top of escalators a bunch of times. Must've got 6+ kills doing so. If I had a decent team, they would have moved up when I did so, alas we still lost.

It works better with RPGs but now I only play Metro servers that ban rocket/m320 use.
What's more annoying now is the majority of people are using shotguns on Metro. Sometimes the "monkey see monkey do" aspect of MP games ruins things.
They using shotguns because someone owned them with one, and now they must use it in retaliation.

I dropped 2 guys at 900m with the m98. I had been plinking at the one guy, then his mate must have spawned on him a second before my shot landed and got 2 headshots. I wish i had fraps running, it was awesome.
 
Try using game booster. I am getting better frames than previously. Need to do a test but yeah. It runs better now than before.

On the "no RPG/M320" servers everyone just runs around with FRAG round shotguns and you are back to square one. Makes the server pointless.

The shithead was in our base, inside a building with sniper rifle shooting the other team as they spawned through walls. I c4's the shit out of it and brought it down on him and verbally berated him....looks like he left and went right to another server to continue....

LevelCap (produces some really good youtube videos) had a server he found that had no explosives and no shotguns, but I don't know if he actually said what server it was. It was in his BF3 "Guilty Pleasures" video.
 
Some of the Metro servers I play on kick/ban for M320 (Frag, they allow Smoke)/RPG/SMAW and Frag shotgun rounds.

I have no issues with buckshot/flechette shotgun use.
 
It's amazing how after all this time my spot keybinding will not stick. It stays correct in the menu but in-game it doesn't work. It reverts to Q. I have to switch it back to Q, then wait a bit and switch it back to what I want.

Well, i usually spend most of the game not shooting anyone.

It's an old video but it's pretty much the same. Difference is that i talk a lot more now and follow the enemy more closely, turns out teammates are too busy shooting to look at their maps so you still need to tell them where the enemies are.
 
I was just on a Metro server. Dude had 18 SVD kills when I left and we were 60 seconds into the round. Killed me twice and did not miss a shot in full sprint and ducking. I guess that hack is catching on. :sour grapes:

I would think that by using the monitors in portrait mode like that, you're not getting that much more screen real estate (in terms of the amount of peripheral vision you get) over one widescreen monitor, though?

Same thoughts. Wider would have been more impressive.
