customise gun

Hi how do you customise your assault rifle= sights, heavy barrel. thanks

 

[Gzero]

Just watched a quick gamepley of the PC version on YT. Evryone camping/sitting in bushes sniping.

Sounds like BFBC2 all over again, pussy players who are too afraid of confrontation even though BF is not RL.

Pass.

I'm sorry but I have to completely disagree with you. This is the best the BF series has EVER come to good infantry fire fights.

You can run in with a pistol and win, you can run and gun with smg types, you can sit in a decent spot and devastate teams with well placed shots.

No dolphin diving, easy to pick off campers, decent spawning (provided it goes to plan and you don't push your teammate into fire or fall through), decent weapon damage, no rambo medics, stationary support (like its supposed to be), good movement speed (hard to hit someone zigzagging and sprinting), and no mortar strikes (yet).

I'm sure I've missed a few, but the no dolphin diving puts this game leagues above BF2. BF2 in it's day was best for it's vehicular combat since no other game could do the same, but today many games have caught up with much better action in other forms that left BF2 in the dust because quite frankly unless you were awesome with the lmg and dolphin diving, you couldn't do much but die.

How hard is it for them to implement a server queue? I don't want to sit here all day clicking join server till somebody leaves.

Click customise when dead, choose class to customise, click on slot or weapon accessories depending on what you are wanting.

Has anyone else got the fast bolt unlock for the recon class on the sv98?
It says its supposed to let you reload without zooming out but it doesnt work....

What do you mean 'reload'?

The sv98 needs you to unscope to pull the bolt, is that what you mean?

They need to allow you to change settings on battle.net and when you are dead.

I have died about 3 times changing settings

Some of the videos on youtube make the gfx look less than impressive and the movement looks very arcadey. Is it at least as good as BC2?

Stupid thing is, the feature is actually active on a server I connected to yesterday and it worked very well.

No idea why it's not a standard feature for every server.

You can manual adjust the HUD afaik, useing the directional keys to tell the game where you want to HUD to be.

 

[Lethagized]

What's the spotting like in this then? Can the other team still take pot shots at your marker from the other side of the map like in BC2?

I dont think it is, in fact its a bit of a letdown.
