Nothing in the game comes close to the FAMAS up close (bar the AN-94 in burst mode on HC). After 40m though the accuracy is pretty horrific.

if its the recon one, fine a nice high place to put it, then run away and hide safely, then use it to designate targets, use "E" to access it once its been placed.

it's supposed to pickup things in its line of vision but mine never seems to .

Cheers

will give it a go tonight . Once i designate something does something come along and kill it or is it just to help vehicles with guided weapons to pick a target.

Yer its to help vehicles also for engineers with javelins

Tried the IRNV for the first time last night and found it to be pretty rubbish (which is a good thing).

Also just noticed that I had a youtube window open when I have been playing a lot recently, it has been hogging about 25 of my frames in game and I didn't even realise! Now it is smooth as butter

Also, can someone explain what the SOFLAM does and when to use it? I just unlocked it, cheers.

Soflam is user to lase or 'light up' targets for guided weapons such as helicopter guided weapons, Javelins or tank guided shells.

its to laser mark jets/helis , tanks etc so engies can lock on or tanks with their guided shells.

plant it on a hill side etc and it will watch the land within its eyeline for enemy targets, you can work it (seems to work better this way when i've tried it) and spot/mark enemy targets.

Why is everyone raving about the Famas, I find it bounces everywhere, the iron sights are near enough useless, slap a Acog scope of it and after the first shot all you can see is sky :confused:

Yurka · 16 Dec 2011 at 13:18

Its good at CQB and that's about it. Depends on your play style to preference on weapons.

Im still using the PDW-R and despite its ammo (21 in a clip), Im finding it quite handy at wiping people out. Gonna give the P90 a go when I level up next.

I lost my IRNV, how do I get my kills now ???

I've just ordered another 6950 for crossfire goodness.

I can run ultra @ 1080p with aa/motion blur off and get good fps, however there are times when i can feel it stutter when it drops into the low 40's.

The second 6950 which will also be unlocked and overclocked (6970 speeds minimum) should allow me to max out of the aa and never dip below 60. Thats what im hoping.

Extended mag buffs that to 31, imo it's better than the P90.

I was going to do that, but I'd lose out on my supressor, so decided it against it. Can easily reload if I can find something to hide behind

i heard about micro stutter on crossfire cards, i dont think i could handle that, it ll drive me mad!! my game would have to be locked @60fps and run like butter or theres no point, thats what im hoping i ll get, when the 7970 is out!

I play on Matts server most days. Im not rich enough to support a server lol

ScarySquirrel · 16 Dec 2011 at 14:25

I probably won't bother with the old maps for quite some time.

MoRT489 · 16 Dec 2011 at 14:28

Dammit we need a sticky in this forum for how to use the SOFLAM, about half of each of the last 5 pages has been about how to use it!! There is a "search this thread" function people!!
