Possibly but Medics can heal themselves and get points for healing others, they also have a larger clip so suppressing is better, also Medic weapons and Engineer weapons are only marginally worse, hardly noticeable imo.

Objective wise I find every other class better then the Assault, maybe its just me but I think they're the jack of all trades, master of none.

I find it incredibly annoying that medics have indefinite health if they stand next to a self-placed medic package. I hope that BF3 sorts this problem out by putting some sort of limit on the times you can heal yourself in a game. I don't mind that they have LMG's though, its just a weapon and its up to you to sort them out with whatever you have in your arsenal.

I consider myself a bit of an assault-whore, but its a lot better than standing 1,000 yards with a x12 scope sniping and not helping achieve any of the objectives. (Thankfully you don't see that on any of the OCuk servers, however the more I play the more frustrated I get with people not playing the objectives).
 
Got killed with one shot from an RPG while in a tank at full health.

Got killed on a mounted MG right at the start of a round of Rush by some kind of explosion. Yet there was no smoke trail from any kind of RPG and the game said I commited suicide.

Got run over by a tank while standing at the side of it destroying it with my repair tool, the tank reversed in a straight line so it couldn't have ran me over.

Got killed by the tank's main gun while standing directly in front of it, so the end of the actual gun where the shell comes out was above and beyond my position.

All of those happened yesterday.

That's with out the usual, players running through bullets only to knife you from 10 feet away, headshot sound coming twice from hit on enemy players only to be killed by them and they are on full health in the killcam, CG going through tanks and not registering hits, always burst firing guns at players and getting the first few shots to register hits and the all the rest in the clip not registering at all, even on stationary targets.

And on top of all that the usual 90% of players not interested in any kind of team play whatsoever.

I'd come on the nM server more, but the games are too hectic with 32 players. The small and narrow maps and the natural funnelling of players rush causes just exacerbates how frantic games become.

1. Get accusations of hacking when my squad hits the tanks at the same time with RPGs -second one to hit gets the kill, easy to think only 1 hit kill.

2. If a teammate runs over you with a vehicle, the thing explodes and you suicide, great way to grief your team....not.

3. Yup, been there done that got the T-Shirt. Standing next to a tank while damaging it with your repair tool can often lead to a road kill even though you were no where near it. Meh.

4. Again, it may seem that was the case but with V-Warhead any explosion on a nearby wall, ground, passing bird will get you killed. Not difficult really.

in summary, a lot of the things you encountered can be explained away by game the way it 'supposed' to work and players thinking otherwise. I admit rage from time to time but I've enjoyed many more games than i've not, play it for what it is.
 
I think the engineers SMG's are far better than any of the assault rifles.



2. I was in a building on the top floor, so on one ran me over.

4. The tank wasn't in a position to defect the shell or for it to be splash damage.

5. Being near a building that collapses, it kills you even though nothing touched you. Also sometimes you can be outside of a collapsed building and it pulls you in again :p

Couldnt agree more, im also a great fan of assault. Regarding snipers, i wouldnt mind as much if they were actually good at it, and were able to provide covering fire. But so many times you see guys that cant hit a building, never mind another player, theyre about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike.

I don't even want to get started on the Recon class, you can find some really good players but they're few and far apart. Rather annoying to have to either spawn on a sniper at the side of the map or back at base.

I pretty much only played with my friends as we all worked for the objective and the kills come as a bonus. Friends don't play anymore so its good to hear that the server used has players playing and not sitting in a bush :D

It's not fun if you're not steamrolling the opponent or if they don't put up a fight.

+1. Hopefully more and more people will see this sort of thing happening and eventually useless recon-based players will end up changing their game a bit, this will mean for a more enjoyable experience in the long run!

Don't get me wrong, i've been a squad where there are some good snipers who are willing to give suppressive fire as we come in and sweep up (or attempt to in my case). Bushwookies are ruining the game for me, and it seems reading the replies on this thread its doing the same for more long-term players.
 
If playing recon now, ill actually ditch the scoped rifles and use either the, G3, M14 or the M1 garand, the garand in particular is a bit of a challenge to play with, also equip c4 as i do like to chase after tanks and apc's.

They ruin the game if they're on your team, if they're on the enemy team then its a walk in the park usually as you just have to use cover and not stand still for to long and even some of the bolt action snipers are poor, sometimes you can kill them in one hit, sometimes not...depends on the bullet drop I suppose.

The best snipers are the people spotting rather then taking long shots at moving targets as they're missing everything else trying to take out one guy. Then again you can stick a fairly decent scope on a MG/LMG and do a similar job but a lot closer and causing the opposition more grief by unloading more bullets into them.

It's fun to take out the pilot of a apache with a sniper rifle but its usually luck or stupidity on their part for flying straight forward.
 
Front line recons or get the fudge out really.

Shotgunning or quickscoping I dont mind, so long as they're up there in the mix with the rest of use, using their pookie balls.
 
Joined NM and it was 32/32 and i was lagging badly, not registering any of my hits and stuttering after playing on CT for 2hrs. So i'll be back on later, i think my GTX 260 is choking under pressure :)
 
What speaker count setting should be listed in the settingsini list? I always game with headphones, (goldring ns1000's, asus xonar DX audio card). Speaker count is currently at 0.
 
I can see why Beorg got fed up with the admins and left the server

DarkFOOT do some bloody admin work and actually kick people who not only baserape but spawn kill inside the base. People where spawning in the uncaps and getting blown up by tons of mortar fire. There are NO rules whatsoerver on nm-ocuk!. Going back to CT where they actually admin properly!
