I play this game.

Win ratio is down from 4.5 last I checked in large part because I started playing without a squad as an apathetic Recon. Seemed like the thing to do.

It is a fucking awesome game. I noticed if the squads aren't working properly but you start an impromptu concentrated assault to capture the points people usually start following instead of running in moronically. They spawn with you and start making tactical sense in capturing the objectives. This is pretty much why I've been loving it so much. It's depressing to be on a team that's getting raped by squads using teamwork while your own team is useless (Red Orchestra), so it's nice that the players are capable of fighting intelligently if encouraged. It's rare to be in an unbalanced game. Most of them have ended with very close scores.

Is it like that on the 360 or do you basically just pwn all the 13 year olds that run around with no plan in mind?

So last night on that jungle map with the water and shit I was capturing C in my M3A3, and some fucking sniper was raining down mortars on me (and missing) from about 10 meters away. I tried to get him in my tank but he jumped into the water as I was blowing the building apart with my manly cannon. I disembarked and ran towards the water and fired about 80 rounds from my M249, while this fool in a ghillie suit tried to swim away from my lead bukkake. He died. I laughed. I dreamt about it when I went to bed.

I never expected you to have such awesome W/L and K/D ratios. I am jealous.

My K/D ratio is shit because Russians, Germans (of course), and Spaniards are fucking cheaters. Every time I go into one of their servers I end up getting a shitty ratio. It's absurd, fucking EA needs to get Punkbuster implemented properly. Every time I join a server it says PB is disabled. The only honest players are the French, British, and Swiss!

I'm pretty good at console shooters. And yeah, I usually play with a full squad or two and we typically steamroll the competition.

Every so often we'll hit a group of fishheads and have to actually play the game though, so that's pretty refreshing.

Just got it the other day. Its fairly unpolished for the PC imo, but hopefully they keep working on it. Finally have it running decently on my system.

Need to work on that k/d ratio :p

My biggest pet peeve is how rocks are arbitrarily and irrationally slippery at certain angles, and how you can't walk over some of the tiniest shit.

Yeah I have that problem too, random objects like railroad tracks will stick out and catch you also (esp when you're running backwards away from rape). It's also hard to determine which places on terrain you can run up sometimes, it can be picky about what "grass" is too steep.

Just spent the better part of the day dicking around with +rockets and +explosion damage alongside the Carl Gustav (!) and boy does that rocket launcher rape some dicks. It's just so fun to use, so even when you're going about one to one in ratio you still have a comfortable score and are having a good time. Blasting objectives, plethora of vehicles and countless enemies is great. Especially when you practically snipe with it.

I got a triple kill by landing a Goose (GET GOOSED!) right on the nose of a helicopter, even. The rockets have the highest velocity of the three launchers, so it's perfect for that. And it's made for anti-infantry, so you'll be getting a bunch of double kills with all that splash damage.

Goddamn the Carl Gustav. I got raped today by two things; an effectively used helicopter (rare on the PC) and two guys using the CG intelligently. Regarding the splash damage, I thought "yeah whatever, it's just splash damage" when I read your message two days ago. Today, I realized what you mean. They really need to nerf that shit.

It seemed they just had to know my general vicinity by reporting my position and merely shooting at my icon. If I was behind any sort of destructible cover, I was dead. If they hit near me, I was dead. Its lethality is just behind helicopter rockets, which are pretty much instant death if they land within ten meters of you, it seems. We still won those two rounds though, and my K/D ratio didn't drop under 1.0, so suck it bitches.

Also, the M16A2 is fucking awesome. A guy got 24/4 using that thing with a 4x scope. He kept killing me in every confrontation unless I managed to catch him by surprise AND from the back, and I don't really suck that bad. It just seemed like all that was needed was two three round bursts, and I went down. Very fast deaths.

Also, 20 player servers are awesome. Way more tactical and less of a fucking random mess where you have to be paranoid about moving around.

I still prefer the XM8 over any other Assault Rifle. With a trusty M1911 in my back pocket, of course.

Yeah the fucking Carl Gustav kills me just about as often as regular guns do. Still don't even have it unlocked, same goes for the m16a2. Argh!

I hate how stupid parts of "Hardcore" mode are. I get the higher damage, no HUD etc etc. But when they take away your ability to look at the gdamn score at times makes it annoying, not "hardcore".

I don't see the Carl Gustav as a problem on the 360, but I've heard a lot from people being killed by it. You're playing on PC, I take it?

Hardcore mode is a shitty experience if you're a medic. You can't tell when people die unless you actually see it happen, so you're pretty much useless.

That's retarded. Why even play Hardcore? Sounds terrible.

It is, but sometimes servers aren't marked as Hardcore even when they are :/

Yessss, leave the Carl Gustav alone (Finally unlocked it....it's glorious). The 1911 does feel quite powerful at times, but also feels more inaccurate than say, the M9.

I'm predicting M1911 goes down, AA goes up, and M60 goes sideways.

I kind of hope they nerf the 1911. I'm tired of using just that.

And yeah, I love the Goose. I have like 4 gold stars with it, haha.

My kill ratio goes up once I find the "sweet spots" in every map. One map I was 5.6!

After the latest patch the game CTDs whenever I click a server in the server browser. Awesome work.

This game is awesome. I love the sniping in it. I got to play for about an hour or two and it was so much fun.Every kill feels so rewarding because of the bulet drop.
Coolest moment i had while playing was: i headshotted a guy across the map who was parachuting down to the ground.Its the level where you spawn in the air, it was so epic!
My mate also killed one of the gunners on a black hawk and it was awesome
