Getting pretty peed off trying to up my recon score. For a class which is supposed to me pretty covert, it seems everyone can see where you're sniping from too easily.

Equip a PDW like the ump and play it like the spec ops class instead. Equip sprint and just try and get in and behind the enemy and disrupt and pester them.

Set up a spawn beacon so others can follow you.

Racks up the points nice and quickly.

And Smogsy, bring back the AA gun as I have to go play other servers cause you dont have it.

thats because its running the smaller versions of the map, trouble is any 64 player map with AA is to big for 32 players. maybe when/if increase the slots this can happen

. on server #2

Ashfield · 20 Nov 2011 at 13:42

sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, whenever I try to change my video options now and the pop up comes on to confirm the game locks. is there a way round this or a way I can change the video options some other way?

thanks

Loving the KH2002. Burst fire or single shot, I've been taking down enemies at all sorts of ranges. Fantastic accuracy from the hip too. Only problem with it is you will likely lose 1v1s against fully auto weapons at closer ranges, but what you lose against them in firepower you more than make up for in accuracy. Very versatile weapon.

Trouble is, if you then switch to 64 slots, you risk ruining the game IMO.

Smaller numbers are more likely to play as a team. As the map size increases, and the number of players increases, players are more likely to go off and do their own thing.

It works better if the numbers are smaller, especially if you have a great bunch of regulars on.

Plus some of the maps (like operation metro and grand bazar) plain work better with 32 players.

Im trying to unlock the silencer for the M39 atm, but so far the M39 + 93r pistol (both unlocked through co-op) are amazing for doing proper recon in CQ.

I cant count the amount of times i have rushed people or been rushed, but with the 93r if feels like i have a little SMG with me, people dont seem to be expecting a hail of bullets after i have fired my m39.

i tottally agree with you. this why i said server 2. however i might increase it to 34/36 with 2 reserved slots.

Fr0dders · 20 Nov 2011 at 14:15

That would be the best solution IMO. Increase the player count past 32, but not all the way to 64

StonedPenguin · 20 Nov 2011 at 14:16

48 would be a good number.

setter · 20 Nov 2011 at 14:18

Ive played on a few 40 player servers. Just the right number for quite a few maps, and they ran very smoothly.

Think i annoyed 1 of the bronken guys last night, he was flying in the havoc on 2 seperate maps and i killed him with my rpg as he kept flying low, just a process of aiming ahead and hoping they fly straight

I wonder if it was defrag, or maybe Kearney, both tend to fly the Attack helicopters on maps

For those that want a bit of fun try a rpg only round in seine crossing. It does make the london riots look loke grafity lol

Last Kronin · 20 Nov 2011 at 14:29

Think it was both, defrag flying and kearney in the gunners seat

Most of my games leave Seine Crossing looking like that.
