I suck so much at this.

Not sure if it's the lack of audio, the iron sight or just being new to the maps but I haven't killed anyone cleanly. All my kills have been in the tank as the top gunner :/

Tried the practice flight servers but despite having good heli. control there are level 50 players with missiles, flares and jets so it's just a massive rape-athon.

If you struggle to kill anyone start off with the Assault class and just hang back behind your squad and Heal Revive them you can a lot points playing as medic, you get some nice unlocks early with the assault guns (x4 sight, heavy barrel and Grip)

I suck with the jets I just use it as fast transport lol

Had a good few games tonight, suck badly on the big open maps. Prefer the city based ones

I thought F2000 was mad. Then I unlocked USAS with frag ammo. My friend also got it so we thought hey this is nuts let's try it on rush metro. Oh God it was OP, loads of crying and accusasions of hacks the server emptied. I haven't put nightvision yet

I still can't believe this is in the game.

F2000 and IR needs nerfing hard. 9/10 deaths are by 1 or the other or both.

Every man and his dog uses it.

Also, why do claymores and mines show up on IR.......?

Guilty!

Same for medickits as well, they also show up

Armadillo · 11 Nov 2011 at 04:05

I like mines showing up. Free points. Roll up to a flag in my tank, thermal optics on, nice bright white mines, shoot for free points and a ribbon

.

Sin_Chase · 11 Nov 2011 at 04:15

I do not use the IR scope on principal alone. I feel like I am wall hacking with it. Too easy. :/

How long are we talking here? Played about 3 hours and only on level 3.

Everyone else has super weapons.

I'm at 9hrs played and level 10. Bearing in mind as you level up you need more points to get to the next tier you're behind by a fair bit!

I have a lot of Assault stuff unlocked, tank extras, jet and heli extras and IFV extras.

What's your SPM?

Die! Nothing worse than folk who take the jet and just bail out 2 seconds later.

Deific · 11 Nov 2011 at 05:10

+1 I was in a heli as a gunner when the pilot just ditched it mid-flight leaving me having to bail out right in front of an enemy tank. I wanted to slap the ****

MoRT489 · 11 Nov 2011 at 06:50

saw a video with the thermal/IR scope - omg it looks like wallhack! total imbalance imo!

Play 32 man rush. Generally everyone is focussed on the MCOMs so you only need to worry about the other jet.

Nerf the F2000 and IRNV already ffs.

You can't see people through walls with it.

It's overpowered though. I can sit on some rock when playing Caspian Border which is miles away from the action but I can see enemies clear as day. Enemy trying to crawl very slowly into a nice firing position to return fire? Instantly spotted and dealt with. It's retarded. There's absolutely NO disadvantage if you use it. I can understand if it was a huge scope which obscured view when firing from the hip or a naff crosshair superimposed onto the scope. It's current state is laughable and not sure why beta players didn't pick up on things like this.

It was different in the beta, i used it a max of 4 times. It's range wasn't as far iirc, and the scope would 'blur' out so you had to unscope and then scope back in again to get it clear again, it took 10 seconds or so for the visability to be reduced, i haven't encountered that in the final product.

Come in for some games of conquest, or just help me get the server filled!

Finally picked someones f2000 up tonight with infa red scope my god no wonder people own with it
Last game on smogsys server was kinda embarrassing as gord and his merry men totally delt us a can of woopass lol .....

i saw that,

just like to say thank you all for coming over to my server, it really does make it a good laugh for all. I have not seen anyone say anything bad about my server yet which is brillant. Server has climbed from 24000th to 2800th server rankings in a mere 6 days!. Aim is to go for 1th, will it be possible? Maybe we will have to see. Anyway Dont forget to come on the weekend

. at this current state of things i will have to plan on getting a other server soon.

What you think would be best Full Rush or Mixed Modes?
