Typical. After spending most of yesterday trying to fix graphics card problems I finally get a working game running on Matt's server and then my router faceplants. I get that fixed, and the server is full with a queue.

You'd almost think it was a sign.

Hehe, its always the way. I know i keep saying this but

'Bitches love Metro', and i count most of you as bitches. This is a term of endearment id like to add.

Course not everyone here really loves Metro but i think its great. (in moderation :p)

It's not bad. It gets awful when people start RPG/SMAW/M320 spamming but that generally seems to be kept to a minimum on your server, even though it's openly allowed.

Heh i dunno about that. I think plenty of people still use all that stuff. I have to admit ive started using the underslung grenade launcher, particuarly on metro. I can;t bring myself to use RPG on inf yet though. I have standards. :D
 
Metro is fine on consoles players (24,16) but a total cluster**** on 32-64, it's fine for a couple of rounds though.

Problem is people love metro because it gives you lots of fast easy points, unlocks and ranking so with the screwed up way DICE thinks this means it's a better map.

I agree.

I love the constant action that metro forces upon you though. It makes a nice change from the large vehicle maps where sometimes you can go whole rounds without using your rifle.

I will have to come hunt you down on there, like last time. Tried the UMP yet? :D

They get used, but it's nothing like the spam I've experienced on some other servers. Some of them are just awful.

Tried the UMP yet? :D

I've not seen the fuss about the UMP in the full release to be honest. The P90 though, that's a nasty piece of work...

UMP seems to be very accurate when I use it. Although not all that in close quarters against some guns, but if used right, it can be a great gun. Hell, a bit like most guns on there!

Love the ammo clip in the P90 though, good for multiple kills.

Maybe that's why, I wasn't exactly going for accurate fire when I used it. You're right about the P90 clip though, I got 5 kills in a corridor without reloading on Metro once. It's useless at range but hey, it was Metro...

Is your server OK Matt? It's been stuck on "changing map" for a good 5 minutes for me.

Indeed i never realised how little kick there was. Made me realise to play on softcore i need to change my loadout and speed up my reflexes.

I was aiming down the Acog doing short sharp burts but it just doesnt kill on softcore unless its a headshot.

So now ive added a suppressor to my gun so that im not fighting the losing battle against recoil.

Hmmm Not sure Art, i hope its not the adaptive size plugin causing issues. Sometimes it locks the game down to 16 players. Ill go take a look, there is space though so you should be able to get in.
 
If anyone is OCD like me and wants the Stationary Emplacement Medal try playing on Gulf of Oman map in the Stationary AA on the Russian side. A 400+ ticket server is usually good for 6-10 kills and a few ribbons. Its especIally good when the US team has the upper hand and choppers and jets fancy a bit of base rape. I took a 0.8% accuracy hit getting that medal. The F35 jets often slow right down too which is an added bonus.

I'd spent over an hour just to get the single ribbon on Firestorm and maybe three to get the next 29.

Next up: laser designation assists.

Thankfully this one is more likely to be had just playing normally.

Yep i think its locked down the map to 16 players. Damn it. I might just bite the bullet and restart it so solve the problem.
 
Yeah not sure what happened, it vanished from battlelog so i knew i had to do something as no new players would join. Damn it 32 players gone in a heart beat.

Ok its back up now, first map on the rotation Metro Softcore. :p

its got nothing to do with what DICE thinks.

Its got everything to do with the fact that lots of players enjoy a fast frantic close map.

Nuketown for COD: black ops was the same. Tiny map, you only had to walk 3 or 4 paces before walking into somebody, and there were just as many loved it as hated it.

metro is no different for exactly the same reason - its fast, small, frantic, and good fun (if you like that sort of thing)

Yep, one of the easier assignment tasks. Go as recon with soflam and a semi auto sniper rifle such as the sks, mk11 etc. Gulf of oman is a great map for the soflam. Thats where i racked up the majority of my laser designations.
