unlike bf2142 which was quite quick to hit the last rank.
I read that since the server update, dice has some how cocked up server rotation and maps like OPmet are missing from conquest, and you'll be in a rush round one min, then TD the next
great stuff lol.

Was going to post regarding the server changes. I hadn't planned on playing again until the patch but had a spare couple of hours last night so fired it up.
Normally I play rush only so was surprised when the next map was conquest gulf of Oman I think. Having neither the ability to fly the jets or choppers I grabbed a tank and sat near a flag thinking to defend it. In the whole round I saw one other tank and smashed him up. Otherwise no one made an attempt to take the flag, I just had a lot of jets circling overhead occasionally trying to strafe me.
Made me realise on crap conquest must be on a public server until I released the real problem was there were only 7 people on each time as when the server changed from rush to conquest most people left
When it first came out I liked the fact that the team numbers were pretty stable over multiple rounds and you even got an idea of your random squad mates behaviours after two or three rounds and could adjust your play style. Now if the game type changes every round you are going to drop too many players each time. Combine with this with the dlc in a few weeks and then the play base will be split again it might be nearly impossible to have a couple of full games in a row.
The shame is I would not be against playing the different game types occasionally but if the server looses 25% of the players each map change it will be duff.
T Also any word on the weapon rebalance patch. It never bothered me before but now I know they are intending on changing things I don't feel like playing

Wondered what gave last night - was having some immense games of Conquest, then the server seemed to change to Rush, then Conquest, then Rush.... thought I was going mad.
I wonder if Dice actually have anyone playing their games before they release it to the wild? If it wasn't for the fact I love the series and have so much fun, I would have probably binned the game until they fix it (sick of USAS sniping too).

I haven't had any changes of mode, but I've had a few that have jumped from BF3 to B2K maps at random, and one that seemed to be stuck on 24/7 Operation Firestorm Rush, which got old quick. I've no idea whether those were because of some patch mistake, or intentional though.
Personally, I'd like to see more servers have a rotation based on size, rather than them all lumped together. So Seine/Metro/Bazaar on one, and pretty much everything else on another.
EDIT: Heh, that looks like what they've done. Top stuff.

Came up against this guy tonight.

Dodgy doesnt even cover it.
I've seen people with a SPM of 1000+ on console. But they get that by consistently point farming one particular thing - eg whoring the little birds on canals 24/7
To get that SPM on console, in open play, without vehicles, is pretty unheard of. Scousegit on here is number 5 in the world on the attack chopper, and mixes with some of the other best pilots in the world. I've played with a few and never seen anybody with stats like that :/ I've heard of xbox hacks, but they are so rare they barely seem real. This guys prooves they do exist IMO. Consistent 20 % + accuracy using a pad ? yeah right. Most PC gamers would just about that match that with a mouse, if at all.

Surely it'll make a difference at long range, I'm fed up with getting killed from far away shotgun blasts.
No the frag rounds have no pellets.
The changes to pellets per shell will only affect fleschette and buckshot rounds.
The changes to the frag rounds are separate. They reduced the ROF for the USAS and MK3A1 when equipped with frag rounds and also reduced the splash damage frag rounds do for all shotguns.
The other shotguns already had a reduced ROF when firing frag

I don't get how he has an average of 116% accuracy on the m26 mass and 120% on the 870??
the shotgun accuracy is bugged.
My M26 accuracy is 135 % lol. I think it works that as long as one of the pellets hit the target, its classed as a hit. If you fire one shot, and one pellet hits one person, and another hits a different person, then it pushes it over 100 %.

Wonder how much longer the 360 version will be! Am on my horrible parents connection now so patch that big will probably take a couple of hours as live never maxes the connection. for those who have tried it....does it work as intended e.g. they havent fixed bits while breaking others?
