Just finished the SP, good god that was crap. Ending was just a massive WTF moment, talk about hitting a brick wall.

Dice has a ton to learn about making a sp campaign, the overuse of Quick Time Events got tedious, it also got annoying when you were using one weapon then while climbing a ladder or something when you got off the ladder you suddenly had a pistol for no good reason, apparently my f2000 with 245 rounds is insignificant compared to a pistol with only 8 rounds... :rolleyes:

Happened more than once during the campaign. The whole thing just felt like a shooting gallery, it just had no depth to it. :(

Finally managed to knife some players and take some tags. After days of trying with no luck, it was like a bus, and 4 came along at once! :D All camped behind some stone defenses, I sneaked round the side and one after the other proceeded to knife them. :D I was so pleased! lol. I then got shot but hey ho! Also managed to take out a helicopter pilot with a sniper shot today.... I quit after that on my high. :D

Had the funniest moment so far on Smogsys server just now playing Kharg Island.

I was in a protracted sniping war with Smogsy at long range. He was up in the hills, I was near the construction site. As I fired and missed, he crawled sideways behind a rock. Then, through the scope I watched as Ballistix ran up behind him, rolled him over and knifed him in the chest.

I laughed for a good while :D

haha he keeps hiding there, as soon as i knew he was looking the other way i knew it was worth a 5000 yard dash to collect him:)

Use the Bipod, IRNV and fire very short bursts.

Just no. More people need to stop worrying about their accuracy stat and start playing support properly. All the LMGs behave the same way, once you control the initial burst of recoil the vertical climb stops and you can pin down multiple squads with suppressive fire. If you're not knee deep in empty casings you're doing it wrong! :D

I doubt they will

go and read the Battlelog forums and hardly anybody mentions it. It appears to be only the people on this forum that think its cheating.

I don't subscribe to that view - its nicely balanced with certain drawbacks. Yes it enables you to see people you wouldn't otherwise see, but it has limited range in that its only 1 x magnification. It also can't be used to snipe with, as beyond a certain distance everything just appears to be a green fog.

It also greatly reduces your peripheral vision when using it up close.

This!!! I've mown down entire squads, finger hard down on the button. As long as you're stopping it from climbing you'll get the same sideways spread regardless of burst or full auto. Just let them have it!
 
IRNV does need a nerf. but then so does tactical lights.

i think that fixing works too fast as well - you cam fix a tank faster than an rpg can be reloaded making it a n uphill battle to get it down.
 
Wow, just had an epic game on Tehran on smogsy's. Was nailing the control points with some guy called smokey in an APC thing for the first few minutes. This game is really immersive with headphones on.

My favourite weapon so far is the standard engineers AKSU with red dot sight, easily pleased.

I always add extra suppresssion when i'm playing support as well.

You can tell certain specializations have certain classes in mind

Supression for Support
Sprint for Medic
Explosives for Engineer
COVR for recon

then ammo , flak and frag for personal preference (squad flak is excellent on maps like Grand Bazaar and metro where you know you'll get grenaded to hell and back.
 
i detest the origen launcher thing, why would i want to use my browser to launch a game? it's so slow, crap and throws me out of the game for no reason. ARGH!
