Finished all my Recon unlocks today - but I find I'm too hit and miss with Recon to really enjoy it. Had a game earlier where I went 25-4 which is about 5 times better than average, and then absolutely tanked the next 3 games to make up for it.

Started working on the medic unlocks - which are stupidly easy to get once you get the medkit and the defibs, been clocking 4k points a round at times. Soon I will be able to join the M60 club, hurrah!

Is there actually a benefit to getting the gold stars, does it improve the weapon in any way or is just something that says 'Hey, you killed lots of people with that gun!'
 
I think those gold stars are just awarded when you kill X amount of enemys. I remember I joined a game spawned killed to enemys and then got a Gold star giving me 5000 points. WTF
 
Gotta love the RPG/Tracer combo, i tracered a vehicle i could barely see thanks to it campin around a cliff (not like they were trying to push in) i locked on, fired a rocket upwards... it missed the vehicle (evidently) and instead blew up 3 people :D

However on that note, there must've been no less than 5 engineers nearby and not a single 1 of them was actually trying to lock on to the tracer. Nor had a single Engineer actually attempted to destroy vehicles during the entrie course of the game. I was literally having to do it myself for the most part with the odd AT Mine and some good ol' RPG work. Everyone else seemed more interested in Gustaving infantry...

Edit: How strange, looking at my weapons and gadgets, the tracer is listed as bronze on the menu, 2x gold star when i highlight it and nothing when i look in detail >< Ok and now its not... the game is so bugged...

Yup, i think its desgined so you feel like that. You start off with rubbish guns which either makes or brakes you... once you get a new gun (usually XM8) your away haha!

glad you like the server mate, we have a server for almost every mode now 3x32 slot servers and 1x16 SQDM!

Your welcome to come on vent with us, details in first post of the thread (OP).

v sync? works for me!

and you guys keep on talking about c4 and assault.. can you have the c4 while assault ?
i think one of the main probs about this game is its crappy manual. someone has to tell you how to use a lot of this stuff.
for instance i didnt know how to lock on to tracer darts for the first few weeks, then i found out secondary fire on the black hawk fires flares which screw up missiles. yesterday i found out that secondary fire on the gunner of the apache fires tracer darts and secondary fire for the pilot of the apache fires hellfires which lock onto tracer darts
 
Hmmm, now that i've got the kickback reduction perk, one of the Engys guns doesn't seem so bad any more, the others are still rubbish but i can dish out some death with this one (second unlock iirc, i've only just unlocked the uzi which is also rubbish at anything over short range).

I'm also loving the land mines, i take it it isn't possible to disarm these ones like you could in the older battlefields? Ended up racking up six kills in a row as three vehicles in convoy rolled over my mines.

I don't think so (but I hope I'm wrong). I normally "disarm" them with a grenade or salvo of bullets :)

Ah, that actually makes them easier to disarm than they were in previous battlefields :( In the previous one you NEEDED an engineer to go out and diffuse them, simply shooting them means any old sod can do it.

Fortunately it seems the people in my previous game were too dim to do so :)

stick them underwater then people dont see them :D.
i find i only ever take out some poor sod on a quad bike with the mines, cos hes movign to fast to see them

I've found the trick is to stick one in OHSOOBVIOUS positioning, then one, slightly to the right, in the bushes.

Mr tank comes along, sees said mine in OHSOOBVIOUS place and turns to the bushes to go around it, whoops, he blew up.

Yeah, I do something similar to this myself :)

Something quite funny to annoy defenders on rush is to place mines around the mcom too. They don't do that much damage but some 'lucky' defender will no doubt lose points for damaging the mcom themselves when they accidentally set off the mines :p
