i got kicked yesterday for excessive MAV "useage" a rule the admin made up on the fly after i killed him with the MAV a few times.

I really, really need to unlock it.

How do you make the MAV go down?! I only seem to be able to go up and forward back etc....

There is two crouch buttons, Crouch[Hold] and Crouch[Toggle] your Crouch[Hold] key makes the MAV go down.

Really?

Crouch key n0ob.

It's a bug in the control bindings, if you unassign hold to crouch then you can't lower the mav.

you will like it, it's funny when you start getting some kills with it and certain guys will single themselve out just to hunt down your MAV's lol. Will take an hour or two i reckon to get use to controlling it. so don't expect to be getting kills with it straight away

What class do you unlock it with?

Fr0dders · 4 Dec 2011 at 13:35

Recon

FerociouS · 4 Dec 2011 at 13:35

Recon

ZG002 · 4 Dec 2011 at 13:36

oh god, I've only just unlocked the 2nd rifle with Recon. Something to work on I guess.

lol

My problem, is that I spent too long as a server admin and I know all too well how false positives can crop up.

Does punk buster ever make available any screenshots or other proof ? Or even details of what it found ?

Same here, and im dire with it tbh. Cant get the lead on moving targets at all. Even when someone is sat still i have bother hitting them. Longest headshot so far is only 395y/m whatever the game uses to measure.

I've always thought that.

I was lagging so badly on that map last night, I might as well have been cheating. My CM went up the spout, massive jitter and 350+ ping. Most of the time I would run and stay in the same place. I rebooted the modem afterwards and things improved (although my "skill" dropped significantly.)

I use rocket pods on servers with 3d spotting on and guided missiles that don't as I can't see stuff on the ground to shoot otherwise.

With regards to turning in the jet I have found an exploit where if you press the after burner for split second then brake for a split second and keep cycling between them whilst moving the mouse your turns get tighter and tighter until you spin rediclously fast - 360 in about .5 seconds and you can dodge missiles and enemy jets with ease. It is a bit tricky to get the hang of but once you have you can open some whoop ass! As for joystick pilots, lol easy meat!

This works with the 360 pad, a mixture of afterburner, brake and normal thrust with diagonal turns of the stick(s) and your plane is turning like crazy.
Dont even have to use the afterburner at times, just alternate quick taps of the brake and thrust and if you have a jet pilot who isnt at least trying to do the same, then he wont shake you off.
Unless your wingman has been nailed and then you are trying to shake off the other jet in the air. Then just try and make it back to base if you know there is somebody in the AA gun. Saved my bacon a few times that.

Nice. Is there a certain map that's best to do this on?

Metro 64p, grand bazaar can work too though, takes some getting used to but I'm starting to get 40-50 kills per round on 1k tickets. Still need practice.

Who is this? Is this just a random shot / joke that I haven't got? :cool:

It was indeed and very enjoyable. Would have been even better if my Engi had repair as well but I was on mines as trying to star up my mines before the patch nerfs them.

Will be playing again tonight, will join on you depending on time
