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 actually feel exactly the oposite on the SV98 and the m40. I was really excited to unlock the m40 because i thought it would be even better, but i thought it was pretty worthless :/ the m98b is definitely the best though, even though it has a small mag size, the lack of bullet drop and high bolting speed makes it insanely good. | ||

Maybe I'll like it better, but I just love the way sniping feels with the SV98. I'm not even using the straight bolt option, because the other way feels cooler. It is better though, and I'll probably switch too it. I just haven't had this much fun sniping in any game I've played before. It's difficult, but so rewarding. Hitting long running headshots.......ahhh, so sexy. BC2 was similar, but the ranges were generally much smaller, bullet drop was less, and it just seemed so much easier. I could rack up insane sniping scores in BC2 because i come from an AWP background in CSS, but BF3 is much harder, and much funner. | ||

I could rack up insane sniping scores in BC2 because i come from an AWP background in CSS, but BF3 is much harder, and much funner. I feel I should mention I usually play hardcore. Now in hardcore mode, the M98B will usually 1-shot an enemy regardless of where it hits. Now what's important though is that when it doesn't 1-shot the enemy, it will do at least 98% of their health in damage. This means that if they're close you can whip out a pistol and finish them off while with the SV98 you're just SOL. Also the minimal bullet-drop means it's easier to head-shot anyways, which you still want to do as much as possible for extra points, particularly at long range. The big difference is that you can use the M98B in closer range maps and still have a fair shot at winning. Even though they can kill you quickly with their "automatic" weapons, you can still win by firing first (assuming you hit) | ||

Guess so :/. My copy doesn't look like that. My pre-order got messed and I didn't receive it so I had to order it again from another online store and looks like I have to buy the expansion when it comes out. | ||

What kind of official rules would you like to see enforced now that we have an admin staff? not idling in base waiting for something to spawn (except a jeep/boat) No suicidal sacrificing your armor near the enemy base for no other purpose than getting a few kills. No purposeful spawnraping. and by that i mean killing spawning enemies without having the intent to capture the point. i feel those are things that high skilled players can do that are within the game rules, but the make other players feel miserable and serve no other purpose than getting a highscore. You can do that on random public servers, no need to disrespect your fellow TL community members that want to play a fun game with you, even if they are not the best in shooter games. If they add thermal camo it should be some bright orange because otherwise there is no reason to ever not use it since it doesnt take an important slot like on vehicles. | ||

My first 30 games or so i was extremely noob getting scores like 0-8, however now that ive learned the maps and classes im doing much better. The reason i wanted to post was to say that the m15 at Mine u can unlock with engineer is AWESOME! The last 3 games ive played i was in top 3 score every time! use the expl item and u start with 6 mines! plant them all over flag point on conquest and watch your quad kills roll in! I killed 9 people within 30 seconds once!!!!! They are so fun to use!! I strongly recommend everyone go out and try it incase it gets nerfed, because they are SO fun to use!!! | ||

Plus, based on how tight the roads are and how frequently you'll cap A only to lose C, you wanna get around places fast. If you've got two engies and you've got tow unlocked, you can maneuver around and fuck with the tank while your teammates get into position and it's donezo. | ||

I really liked it on those maps where you tend to get big clusterfucks in the middle of a chokepoint, like Bazaar. Just put on the 4x scope and straight bolt and you're good to go ![]() | ||

But most minekills are faulkt of the driver because he drives around just hoping that there are no mines anywhere. | ||

First- you're not on any of our friends lists. Second- We all pile into the Russian humvee, vocally refer to it as the bangbus and go around ramping into checkpoints and doing terrible thigns to our opponents. Also: The AT Mine won't get nerfed lol. Thermal optics? No more mines. | ||

That's a good start. I'll pass those on to the server announcements in a more official way. If anyone has any other major pet peeves that a rule should be decided about, be sure to hollar. | ||
