Thanks mate I never used chat in any form before so its all new to me.
Finding myself less and less compelled to play this - just lacking that 1-2 really good maps to pull me in - siege is alright even quite fun until the tower comes down then its just meh (not to mention most people crash out when that happens), paracel looks nice but unless your working with a good squad its clunky to play and you spend more time trying to move about the map than anything else, operation locker tends to turn into a massive bottleneck in some game modes though can (sometimes) be quite fun in bigger tdm games, flood zone has horrid movement flow and only really any good for very specific objective modes, the rest are very very average maps (nothing hugely wrong, nothing hugely right).

Copy a cool image off the internet
That easy? I thought you hand to hand do them ingame.
if you want to see mortaring master join me later for the rage of the server as they shout for bans
little tip on hc you cant see crosshair use the players icon as your cross hair in the middle. so line up the orange player marker exactly in middle of screen and spam quick.
Just go into a normal server, use the mortar and stick some thing on your screen where the crosshair is, like some blue tac. Then go to hardcore and enjoy spamming mortars everywhere.
My thoughts entirely, i've taken down 2 other helicopters and some infantry, but missed so many other kills.
Just download the teamspeak client and set up your mike , then let me know and i'll send you the ts details

I thought the live scoreboard was working after the R8 patch?
DICE making it up as they go along.
Its working server side but BL needs updating to actually display the information
Decided to try recon so I could unlock the DMR's, and I swear I can't hit a thing with the sniper rifle. So many shots just seem to miss even though they should hit.
Do you just have to lead your target by a fair bit or what.
I may resort to just using the shotguns to unlock the DMR's though I hear they aren't really worth unlocking.

Yeh I joined in on one of them, apposing team though which was a shame. Particularly with you two topping the board on that team and nailing me a few times each
Good game though, down to 7 tickets wasn't it?!
aye the bugger beat me to top spot that round grrrrrr
yeah it was a close game, seems that when its close it can turn around pretty quickly, and you just have to hope people stop respawning
would love to know the answer to this as i can't git a sodding thing either, i tried the target range, but that didnt show the bullet trail like in game, and i could hit stuff so not sure what i'm doing wrong

Lead on the target depends on the bullet velocity of the gun. Personally, it was easier to rack the points up by laser designating targets and spotting (motion detector is good for this in close quarter maps).
I like DMRs myself although they need a bit of a boost in power IMO.
yea it's a bit odd, usually takes me a few shots to gauge the lead I need to have...get a hit marker and then by that point they dive behind cover ...
boo!!!!!!also the bipod is rubbish..... it's just like the battlefield friends where I go prone and try to deploy ....*swings....nope*
For longer range shots you need to both lead and compensate for bullet drop (the PLD works as a range finder so you can get a feel for it).
That said given how many other fundemental mechanics seem to have been implemented with a "its mostly working that will do" attitude I'm guessing they haven't properly backwards compensated for player movement when doing hit detection on fast moving projectiles hence the high number of hit registry issues compared to games that use hitscan for bullets instead. (With hitscan you trace through the entire bullet path in one server tick with the bullets in BF4 being modelled as projectiles its position could be one side of a player in one server tick and the other side of the player in the next without ever actually hitting a player inside an update which needs extra handling to check for hit detection that would have happened between server updates).

I've been taking down tanks and all sorts in the littlebird type thing.
It is massively better once you get the upgraded primary gun mind
