Was operation firestorm rush.

Noticed a complete lack of anyone else pushing for objectives, turned to look at base and saw them over the the far corner of the map.

Jeep squashed them all!

Absolutely loving this game, wasn't sure about it at first as I just couldn't get the hang of it. But I'm addicted now

I've still got mw3 sat in its shrink wrap waiting to be played but can't tear myself away from the battlefield. Following the bf2 themed expansion pack in december, be cool to see some others based on older bf maps.

Was this from the front? Knifes only 1 hit kill from behind now. It takes a few swipes from any other angle

Yes toe to toe..though he danced about a bit.. don't think he realised I was the enemy....swipe one..nothing..moved..swipe two...then he shoots at me.

Whats the point of the knife!?

Also..the ability to fire RPGs, in prone.....no...no no no no no...

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no....

that ability to do this MUST be removed.

Hi guys, does the "Limited Edition: Physical Warfare Pack" on Xbox 360 contain the Karkand Pack? just want to make sure I've ordered the right version!

Thanks.

who are you planning on ordering from ?

The limited edition was pre order only. Only retailers who had left over allocation from launch day will still be able to sell it.

Lots of etailers (e.g. tesco and game) still have it on their website, but that edition will never come back into stock.

Ordered from Game, it was the same price as the standard version.

Yeah, the Limited Edition version gives the Back to Karkand expansion and the Physical Warfare Pack

Why is it about this time at night you get every absolute idiot playing..ones that cant drive fly or even understand the point of being an engineer. medic etc.

Bloomfield · 16 Nov 2011 at 01:45

Because you're more likely to be unemployed if awake at this time, and the unemployed are more likely to be idiots?

I joke ofcourse

Americans?

I would have thought it would be a lot harder at night, less people wanting to talk. We couldn't get someone in our XBL party last night and we were coming 2nd and 3rd! Not acceptable after many games of [OcUK] members always being at the top

if your on late at night then your more likely to be playing on the american servers if your going in the quick game option, better of picking your own server in the find option then you can choice europe

I never use the quick option..was going in and looking for European servers...still as bad!

Well yes seems US players on a whole are just completely useless at this game, not talking part I don't worry about..its when im sitting in a tank..killed all the enemies clear all around us and my gunner whos an engineer simply runs off leaving me with the tank on fire only to sit and watch it destroy itself.

Just common sense stuff!

joemc · 16 Nov 2011 at 16:27

It's an annoying game when people don't communicate. I always just go to Server Browser and set the Server Location to Europe (or something along those lines)

V4NT0M · 16 Nov 2011 at 18:21

Is there a guide or something I'm missing that will show the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon or are we supposed to just use experience?

The Engineer's A-91 is a pretty awesome weapon, trying to split my time between all classes but need more people to play with to get a real dynamic squad together.

And yes people who don't play their class, sick of yelling at people to drop ammo! They never do, I just drop it everywhere.

You assume he's using a repair tool.
I never use the repair tool at all unless I'm in a preplanned squad.

I spent about 5 minutes following one support guy round. Shooting him with my pistol trying to get him to notice me. I was pressing the button to ask for ammo but he just wasn't listening

some people don't get this game at all.

Looking forward to some good games.

It's good for those who do know what they're doing! Dropping an Ammo box in the middle of 5 people = win.

As for the guy wanting the guide... I've found this if it's any help https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...E0bjBueWVSQjc0V0E&f=true&noheader=false&gid=0 if you press 'Y' on your gun, it tells you a litte bit about it.

Nice little spreadsheet that. Good find

The Scar-H is high damage for an early gun. I didn't really like it when I first used it but hmm...I may give it another bash now that my aim has improved!

Don't know what to go on next now that support is basically finished. Might get recon up to SOFLAM level. Anyone know which level you unlock this?
