That score was Team Deathmatch. The only objective is to kill people. Play the game how you want.

Doesnt mean you aren't going to take flack from me for lacking in skill by resorting to compaing mind. But its a perfectly valid tactic and theres nothing actually wrong with it.

Heck as defenders on rush its pretty much your mandate. I hate it when playing defense on rush that some team mates just run off into the distance like rambo completely forgetting they are supposed to be defending the objectives.

You talk about tactics being valid then lambast people who use tactics in rush. :rolleyes:

Here's the jist of it since you don't seem to understand it:

In rush, the attackers have to travel quite some distance to get to the arm points, however the defenders spawn a little behind them. Where is a good place to be? Depending on the map design, but usually ahead of the arms points towards the spawn of the attackers when playing defence.

Why?
Because usually the maps are designed with the intent of making it hard to defend from behind the points with bits and bobs obscuring them. So therefore why run closer towards the choke points near attackers spawn?

Because in the event that you do die and the attackers do get through, how long does it take you spawn vs the time it takes the attackers to get to the point.

See there is the tactic, by running up the field you are negating the time it takes to respawn and should be able to get back to the field in time to stop them arming it. Oh and none of this but if we form a solid line behind the point we will win, nope. Just 1 person dying opens an opportunity then for the point to be armed (even easier now with EOD bots).

So take the chokepoints and don't let them through. :D
 
Im sure some of you've seen me around and this will be largely irrelevant but I've changed my name from iToejaM to ToejaMz0r (same as forum name).. was so many people using the iXXX name and the z0r thing I've used for ages.

Cant get a unique name but I've used ToejaM for.. well, since CS1.5/6 came out :(
 
I really hope the USAS is in for nerfing in this upcoming patch, I have seen a few of you post in here about it but only just run into it in-game today, it's ridiculous! it's more like a personal mini-(nuclear)rocket launcher than a shotgun!

why ?

Its a shotgun that has its limitations.

Keep shotgun players at range and you can easily deal with them. Same way that you wont take on snipers at range and need to get close to them.

Its classic paper, rock, scissors stuff.

I love the USAS-12 with frag, but it's not quite like any other shotgun, it like a tank in your hand providing you can learn the drop of the explosive round you can kill at some serious range, i was on caspian border in forest popping rounds into checkpoint killing those in the building which did make me chuckle!

<3 USAS-12

I unlocked it today, and have made 40 kills with it so far, another 20 kills until the frag rounds are unlocked. I would say it's overrated, at least with buckshot; it's range is crap. I would have gotten a lot more kills with the M60, and no one moans about that being overpowered.

I'll post back once I've unlocked the frag rounds.

I've tried the frag rounds on the DAO 12 and wasn't that impressed tbh. Didn't find it that amazing.

Maybe its specifically the USAS-12 and the frag rounds ? let us know your thoughts.

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

This I have to try!


Are there any advantages to increasing the field of view? I tried it on 90 and it felt a lot more sensitive and looked more realistic. Makes it a fair bit easier to pick out enemies in the peripheral areas.
 
Help! Have'nt really had any issues with this game until i try to load it up tonight.

Game manager in battlecom shows its connecting, then loading level, the very millisecond it trys to enter the game after loading the level it quits to desktop and says "disconected from server", then about 3 seconds later says "Playing".

I've validated game files, havent touched anything on my router or PC, any ideas as its ****ing me off lol

World #1 has 14 kills per minute with the support machine gun.

Quickly checking YouTube, most of the hack videos show aim bots using that weapon (as it has a large mag) as you just hold down your finger on the trigger :rolleyes:
