yet again missed whole point .

you admit to just sitting off a corner camping shotting watching corners that isnt playing its low. its hc aswell and as i mentioned this is why a lot do it in hc cause its a well aimed camp shot gets you high kd.

No, I don't. I said I prefer the style of play where spending more time behind cover and moving between it to place myself advantageously. I don't sit in one spot covering one corner, I just make sure that when I am not moving I am well entrenched so that it gives me the advantage - I play defensively. In the context of a HC server, that's not "low", it's just good common sense. I think you are simply applying the term "camping" to everyone who stands still for more than 30 seconds, whereas the classical definition would be someone who never moves from the one spot, ever.

And you say lots of people do it in HC because it gets you a high KD, but that's not necessarily true. Most people do it because, again, in the context of hardcore mode, it's the sensible way to play. Just because you think that anyone who plays like that is a camper just wanting to rack up their K/D doesn't make it so. It's just a change in play style that you don't like, which is fine.

its not playing the game same as shooting a m320 at the very same people ;)

so your game is no different that is the whole point ! some see it some dont.

for instance i go on bizar like just now 3 tanks or vehciles shooting directly into our spawn . that isnt skill its low . what do you want us to do in this situation ?

That's completely different though. That's using an M320/RPG because you need to and I would do the exact same thing, especially when you get morons spamming the uncap with a vehicle. But the way you talk on the forums, you go into HC servers just to make others angry at you buy using an M320 constantly on people who are just playing HC mode the way that was intended to be played because you think they are all "low".

your game is not the only gamestyle. all weapons allowed on the server so until rules are changed then i guess it stays the same :)

anyway back to snipering till later :p

I know it isn't but that's the point I'm getting it. It's a play style that you deem to be low and noobish, when in fact it's completely legitimate and sensible in the context of HC mode, and I don't see why you seem to want to constantly prove a point by saying "Im off to Matts Server for some HC M320 rage" or whatever. You seem proud to be ruining the experience some people are seeking with intentional M320 spam and justifying it by calling them campers, when in fact it's just people playing HC mode sensibly.

Also, in response to your earlier posts, I wasn't suggesting you use the M320 exclusively. I fully admit to using it lots as it's intended for - clearing snipers out of entrenched positions, blowing holes in cover, taking out soldiers not smart enough to scatter themselves around and taking out the odd vehicle.

I also don't think weapons should be limited by server admins and wasn't suggesting you shouldn't use an M320. It's just baffles me that you talk so much about skill and call it a "skilltube" with obvious irony, but are quite happy to use it with abandon on an HC server because you think all HC players fall under your broad definition of "campers".

On metro, i just go as assault or support, garner as many points as possible through ammo supply and reviving/healing. Any kills i do get are a bonus, still die an awful lot but im well used to that now.:D

Ive had great fun on Metro as a support. Get a machine gun in a good position with team mates who have their wits about them, and watch as they actually move up under sustained covering fire. One great thing about this game, suppression actually works at keeping the heads of the enemy down.
 
Metro conquest can be good with less players, 16 ono. Theres just too many choke points with larger numbers. The battlefield games have always been about large scale outdoor combat, metro is quite a deviation from that. But it does give an idea of what the upcoming dlc will be like.
 
metro when filled with m320/rpg addicts really is rather tiresome, happily I just avoid the map and stick to ones I enjoy and that don't require choke point reliant kills and boring tactics.

each to their own, horses for courses etc.. :)
 
the other problem with metro is the USAS whores.

I had a game on the xbox the other day where literally everybody was using the USAS + frag rounds.

Can't wait for the patch.
 
As much as I agree with the "it's part of the game, live with it" side, I'm glad they're increasing the resupply time for 320 grenades. It's a bit overwhelming. Not as bad as the thrown nade spam in BF2, but it's still damn annoying.

Yep can't argue with that. :)
 
so many tears lol i guess ill just stay off matts server .

Just because someone challenges your motives doesn't mean they are crying about it. I'm not asking you to stay off Matts server, or even to not use the M320, just questioning why you seem to think it's okay to go on HC servers with the sole intention of angering players who are adopting a different but totally legitimate (for HC) gameplay tactic. To you, they're just 'campers', to everyone else, they're just playing the game as it was intended.
 
Only one solution to that outside of looking for a server which doesnt allow explosives. Don't play metro. :)

Yup - normal servers for most of the maps and non explosive/shotgun ones for metro, works out well for those that don't like it :)
 
I came across a hacker earlier today. At least, someone who had glitched himself outside of the map. Was annoying until a mod followed him out of bounds, knifed him and then banned him.

Regarding Metro, I'll only play that map on a no explosives server, else you just end up with M320/RPG/USAS spam and spend the entire time sitting at the bottom of a staircase.

Also, how do you gauge distance/aiming off with a sniper rifle. I would quite like to be able to use them, but rarely have an idea of where to aim and just end up giving away my location. Any hints?
 
Lol i love you more than anyone DG so ive stayed quiet till now, but man stop digging. I can barely watch anymore. :D

lol so many nabs its not worth it ill stick to proper play and leave the campers to cry at everyone that kills them ;)

time to unlock my next gun :p .
