Its insanely fun but the maps are so fucking bad lol Caspian is almost all I play on, its perfect I think. Sadly my mine tactics are starting to fail since everyone has infrared for the tanks, makes me sad because that was my main source of points/fun. I'd like to learn how to snipe but seem to be stuck using infrared on UMP and SCAR, more of a crutch than a helping hand. I can't shoot anything without infrared now lol. Would have been nice for them to focus on large maps but most of them seem very CoD'ish, I don't like closed ass maps, especially after they lied by saying these maps would be twice the playable size as BC2 maps. Straight up lie, just like saying it was made for PC all the way, six months into dev. they made it console based. For Mine laying Speak to ElanMT he is one of the best abuser of mines in the platoon :D | ||

US sets up a few soflams in their highground overlooking A and all of left side, the laser paint any vehicles coming into the A (back street?) zone, spam the rocket mount for easy kills.

I tried using the TV missile but compared to rocket pods its 100% garbage imo. I have never used it with the SOFLAM so idk if its like a billion times better but by itself i hate it :| | ||

I'm hoping youre talking about the laser guided missile, and I usually get a kill when going down on tanks using the Laser Guided and some regular gunfire. The SOFLAM can enable me to get a lock from very far away, but more importantly signalling exactly where the enemy is (which can be hard in Hardcore mode to see) Sorry, I meant the Laser Guided missile, mind slip  I'll have to try it out. Me and my friend went on a mission a few days ago where I set up SOFLAMs and tried targetting things for him to javelin but the range on the SOFLAM and the terribleness of the javelin kind of had a synergy that made the combo totally not worth it Rocketpods tho usually get me kills in 1.5-2 volleys and are pretty easy to use so i like those a lot ^>^ | ||

Also I finally ended up in a server with Operation Metro in Conquest, I wonder if Dice had anything else in mind other than attracting CoD players with that one. Also I really don't like Seine Crossing and Damavand Peak is 50/50, pretty much all the other maps I find good enough. | ||

On occasion you will get hammered down in your spawn if the teams are real bad, but I've really not had that too much. I got into games like that so much more frequently on BC2. Caspian is so huge. I like maps that are sniper friendly, but that just gets real annoying there. That map is a lot more fun when you're in the dense cover areas Perhaps it's better with 64 vs 32. | ||

How did the box art look like? I got the game on Tuesday and somehow I feel like I didn't get the limited edition  . So that means I can't get back to karkand for free?Loving the game so far even though there are some glitches here and there. | ||

Now the M98B...oh man is the weapon so nice. Nothing else (except maybe the radio or MAV) makes the recon feel like the anti-infantry it should be like the M98B. You'll still feel helpless when a tank or APC comes at you, but anything else you won't have to fear. Did I mention the joy of the occasional helicopter-pilot kill? Yea, it feels so good and they usually don't know what hit 'em. | ||

I know when I got the SV98 unlocked I was disappointed as to it's damage despite being bolt-action, and while the M40A5 was better, it still didn't stand far above the MK11 or SVD.

Because it sure sounds like you're knocking my SV98. :-( I actually like the "only hs one-hit kills" aspect of the rifle, because it makes it feel so much more.......snipery, lol. Plus I like my opponents to know that when they are shot out of a moving jeep, I hit them in the head. | ||

I rack up a stupid amount of knife kills on there too... I got 8 in a single Rush game there the other day. That ruled.

People hated tehran because it was a lagfest, but now that the rubberbanding is fixed i'd say it's a pretty cool map. Lots of ways to flank a position, and the low light conditions makes it easier to deal with snipers. I love it :D | ||
