rofl, you can't be serious, what's next ? extra points for spraying LMG bullets to the general direction of the enemy ? avenger and savior pins are stupid enough for this type of game

This is true, just one player using smoke can make mcom steam-rolling possible against an average team. Since defenders usually defend behind the mcom protecting the spawn point like it's the real objective, popping a smoke wall then dancing up to the mcom and arming it makes attacking a cakewalk.

There's a lot of unintended points given to people who aim to use ammo and health kits for themselves. Yet you think it's stupid to give points to those who use weapons for strategic and team purposes?

The problem is that it's easily abused. An assault can just sit on his ammo box for the entire game and do nothing but lob smoke grenades randomly and rack up a lot of points. Whereas you can't really abuse ammo / health crates. The most you can do is spam them everywhere... which I'd much rather see as a teammate. Sometimes you never even see an ammo box anywhere and you have half your team as assault.
 
I'm not looking for tons of points, but there's plenty of innovative ways to help your team w/some of these gadgets that though you can think will get you zero credit, zero points and zero incentive to help your team in the future. If your team will reap the benefit of a win, the least you can earn is a couple of points. Anybody who plays the game has earned defend points--that's along the lines of my thoughts for asst points.

How to eliminate those who abuse crap is up to PB to decide I suppose. But those little 20 point ammo/health kits do add up. You may not see them, but I have. It depends on the class you play, how you play and where you play that determines what you see. Shit, I'd trade my unearned points any ol' day for those I intend to earn.

I pretty much never expect teammates to drop ammo since asking and waiting to get their attention will get you killed. So I stick to picking up an assault kit on the ground for the ammo box and switch back to my original kit. It's fantastic how enemy assault and medics are my most reliable methods of getting ammo and health in addition to the extra +resupply +heals I get hehe.
 
lol, hardcore + cg = wipe out entire squad at once.

although frustration is shooting someone in the back, watching him flinch and nothing else. the knife bug is more than a knife bug

This has been happening all day to me today. I literally walked up behind a guy and hit him in the back of the head with the Saiga and he flinched and nothing happened. Been taking multiple rounds to kill people, thought I was lagging.
 
knife bug lols. I've certainly back stabbed 10 people today, only 3 died, 7 of them just flinched, turned around, and killed me. 1 of them even managed to stab me whilst at it.

Annoying.
 
Tell me about it. Close-range hit detection in general is inexplicably fucked now. I've headshotted chopper pilots with the NS2000 from hundreds of meters away, yet at close range three shots to the chest doesn't register a single hit. And then they knife me in the face.

Bullshit, DICE, bullshit.

I gave up on the underbarrel shotty, most of the time the enemy is spraying out a huge red cloud of blood in close range but they shrug it off and drop me like a bag of bricks with a knife. Of course kill cam shows their health at 90%+...:mad:

Man that sucks. For me, I LOVE being medic. It's a ton of fun running around healing guys and dropping kits all while getting shot at. What a rush!

Nothing is quite as relieving as seeing the bright light of life flash before your eyes.

I just recently started playing again and WOW. The server browser is soooo much better now. Way faster and I love being able to filter out hardcore servers.

Thought I was the only one having this problem. Swear Im losing my mind here. The gameplay is great but recently (new patch?) all my weapons seem like they arent doing ANYTHING. Amazing to unload and entire magazine into someone from short to medium range WITH red dot sight and magnum ammo and THEY DONT DIE. Then I swap to my M9-3R to finish the job but they have already killed me..... swear its lag on the server to client connection. I know Im not the only one so its reassuring, but DAMN is getting smoked every round getting OLD. Game is fun as shit when its running smooth, but there certainly is more lag since the last major patch.
 
not sure but I think this happens at very close range and when you’re not shooting at the head, I kinda feel when the attacker press the knife button he does some kind of a ninja move to dodge those last bullets you fired. I kill them most of the time, sometimes both of us die (him with my AN-94 and me with his knife) but it makes me wanna break something when I die.

what’s really annoying is when someone starts shooting at me and at that last part of the second before I die I manage to shoot a couple of bullets (or more) at him but his health stays at 100% in the death cam! why? they came out from the rifle and they should register. gets more stupid with the GL when I die while the nade is on its way to him then explodes (after I’m dead) between his legs but his health remains 100%. the hand grenade can kill people long after you’re dead though.
 
You may be on to something there. I guess I'll have to aim for the head at close range with the NS2000 to rape people.


The NS2000 with slugs is a better sniper weapon than the sniper rifles IMO (except for the extra-long ranges). The unscoped reticule makes it so easy to snipe moving targets from miles away.. you just need good eyesight or you need to spam the 3D spot. And with the assault class you're under no obligation to make every shot count.
 
I must say... VSS with Red Dot/ACOG is so much fun. Finally picking Recon now and not picking up another kit to play it! Sneaking up on a squad camping an attic in White Pass, and they have no idea you just took them out one by one. Gotta love the silencer!

Only problem is ammo runs out so quickly.

Meh, I'll rock you with the GOL vs NS2000. Love the GOL so much. :) Never really played any other class than Recon. Sniping is just too much fun for me in this game especially when you and an enemy sniper are having a little duel. I usually win hehe :D

And yea I'm having that dang knife problem too. I stabbed someone twice in the back yesterday and he just turned around and shot me in the face. :( Happened many times.

Extra ammo and default scope.

that was you? ;)
 
Has anyone tried putting two engies in the transport helicopter with the extra explosives and explosive dmg upgrade? I was thinking you could have two guys on the guns and 2 guys shooting rockets and land an reload as needed.
 
I am officially no longer going to use the knife.

On a side note anyone else notice that on normal mode it seems no one playing the Recon class uses any of the bolt actions anymore?

Ever since the tracer buff, it's way too easy to bring any helicopter down :D
 
I see a lot more engineers playing after the patch. cg aside it is a pretty strong class, especially in hardcore.
 
I generally prefer to only play engi when there will be vehicles to trace and take down. It's so rewarding to trace a helicopter from behind, launch a rocket, and watch 4 bodies fly out.
 
I've been playing the game for a while now and here are my rants.
-Snipers
-CG
-40mm spam
-Douchebag hand grenades
-Knife bug
-No ammo or health dropping
-Vehicle & turret control.
-UAV controls if your not using wasd.
-Bunk teams
Thats just a few. Don't get me started on the browser/game menu.

how do you feel about hand grenades that aren't douchebags? i can understand your hatred for the douchebag ones though. nothing worse than seeing a hand grenade coming at you wearing a pink polo with a popped collar and 80's style louvered sunglasses.
 
so aside from that, how do you like it?

lol, I don't understand you people. You play a game wanting to be a god, killing anything and everything and complain when you can't do it because other people are using "noob" tactics against you. well guess what. you are the noob.
 
I wish they'd bring back the different mouse sensitivities for different activities like they had in bf2. It's not THAT big of a nuisance to high the dpi switch on my 518, but still.....

It never ceases to amaze me when people play an online game and complain about how other people play. IMO, if they aren't hacking, deal with it :p
 
Yes it is and if you dont use a real gun as your primary weapon then you can kiss my ass.

Got my first platinum with the AN-94 on the same game I got a gold on the M416, NS2000, and UAV. Got almost 30,000 that game. :D

The M416 is pretty good. It's pretty accurate with ACOG scoped bursts, too. Definitely much better than the M16A2 is now.

The NS2000 with slugs does some pretty inconsistent damage.. it seems to do anywhere from ~70 to OHK even without a headshot. It makes me kinda love it even more since it's basically as powerful as a bolt action sniper rifle without having bullet drop and tuned for an entirely different play style (high-FOV "sniping" vs. narrow-FOV bona fide sniping). I've yet to try a bolt-action sniper with the ACOG or red dot though, and I'm no longer tempted with the recent nerf.

I haven't tried any other shotguns though. I've seen a number of people with the SAIGA and 870 but I hesitate to use them for fear of reduced accuracy.

Also for the GOL dude, you're on! :D

if you stop sucking these are not problems

snipers are easy to avoid if you know the snipers FOV
cg and 40mm are easy to avoid if you keep aware
handgrenades are easy to avoid if you stop camping
pick up other kits if you you are out of ammo
turrets are fine
not using WASD = noob, and if you dont use it dont bitch ( it IS the best srsly I have tried it all)
bunk teams most likely equals you being below the average instead of above.

truth hurts.
