Been really enjoying Squad DM and Team DM last few days. Recommend to all who normally just play 64 player maps.

For Squad DM though just pray you get a good squad. Tonight I joined a squad comprising 3 snipers, yup, that will work??
 
Ive just logged onto the OCUK server hoping to play against some of you fellas, and I promptly had to leave 20 mins later.

Seriously - how on Earth do you guys play soft core? It's atrocious! Long range gunplay is basically impossible unless you're a sniper.

Scenario: I was lying on the roof of the gas station on Caspian Border looking towards the forest. Saw some enemy troops. Brought the ACOG up, single shot. Fired at the first guy running in the open. Hit! Saw the hit marker, and he flinched. Fired another round. Another hit! No kill? Another round. Hit, but no kill.

I put about 4 well aimed shots into him with no kill. Then, one of my other team mates finished him off. "Kill assist".

A similar scenario happened several times. Fired at people over medium to long distances, got hits, but no kills. Either someone else got the kill after I'd done most of the damage, or they scuttled into cover unharmed. Utterly frustrating. The only kills I got was where I engaged people at short range and just opened up full auto into them.

I appreciate that getting kills isn't the be all and end all of winning the game, but it's so annoying putting several rounds into someone and still not getting a kill - only to have them retreat to cover, now fully aware of your position.

Do any OCUKers here play Hardcore?

It works so much better as a 32 player map.

Does anybody who played the alpha and or beta play Metro anymore?

I leave as soon as i see that map loading screen.

As for the bugs, aside from the odd unexplained death ( crouched, full health and then " bad luck " WTF ) i havent seen or experienced that many.

Lucky i guess

Just had a round on the Bronken server, i did quite well in the end but it was very unenjoyable. I was killed at least 5 times within 2 seconds of spawning and i got a triple kill as i actually spawned looking at 3 enemies all prone about 10 yards away! This is unacceptable!!

Plus there were a few guys just camped out at places where people spawn just waiting prone in bushes for people to appear.
 
glad a great laugh tonight on my server was pretty much TFU VS OCUK/UKCS most of the time.

Few Members that was on there were: Gord,Baplad Utempered,JonnyGLC Running Gloves & a few more great night wish i could stay on longer.

there still on there now:cool:
 
Every single server I have been on tonight has lagged like ****. Its pathetic. I knew when EA and DICE announced 64 player conquest that the servers could not handle it.

I have exactly the same problem you describe and the result is I hate playing softcore now. Long range it is just impossible to kill people, what on earth is the point in having to hit them up to 4 times and when they take cover all is fine and dandy again? All I get is kill assists, no kills.

I switched to hardcore for that reason, much more fun and the team killing risk results in more careful play too, no mindless RPG shooting, as long as you're on a decent server without idiots. Would love to see a HC OcUK or Bronken server. TFU HC is OK but I get owned too much there ;)
