No they don't but flares are the first unlock I think and you get them real fast. I typically wait 2-3 seconds after lock because smart players will wait for you to blow your flares and then fire. Exception is if I know I have a jet on my ass.

Stinger doesn't need the recon paint. I think it's the next one up?? Not sure.

you dont have to guess with ur flares.... theres a different noise once the rocket flies. just use it then :O

stinger and javelin both dont need the recon paint.

I thought the paint allowed javelin et al to hit targets outside LoS. And yeah there are two noises, a throb and a high pitched fast beepepepebpepepep that means shit is in the air trying to ruin your day.

LOL MAV.

I was playing a game on Seine crossing last night, me and a bro were on the east bridge. A MAV flies over and picks him up off the ground and dumps him in the river......WTF

The javelin still has range if a target is painted, but you can ignore line of sight.

It's worth noting that someone in an AA or using stinger can completely shut down MAV use.

For low-flyers any machine gun will knock em out fairly easily

Using a Stinger or a AA designed to destroy jets and helicopter just to kill a MAV feels so overkill... In a perfect worl it should be done with regular weapons.

EA games is the best gaming company of entire gaming world.I think that Bad Company 2 and Vietnam will last quite a while. Even though they're less hardcore than Battle Field 2 and what I'm sure Battle Field 3 will be like, the game is still a ton of fun.I also wonder if BF3 will make use of the veteran status system or not, and if it does, I wonder what we'll get.

How could the MAV be imbalanced? Everyone can use it, and it can be shut down by every class.

Unless you mean overpowered.

I play support about 50% of the time, and it's my favourite class on most of the maps - you can take out tanks easy with c4, restock yourself and all teammates, and the guns allow you to compete in most situations.

I engineer on the massive vehicle maps, and assault on metro. Fuck recon!

I'm doing ok, 480 spm, after putting in about 20 hours, and I'm on an impressive 1.01 k/d ratio! 2.4 w/l is nice, though

Particularly for high-flying MAV is what I mean. When you have your MAV flying high above the battle you can just start spotting everyone, which can be very nice for your team.

Stinger may be overkill and probably wouldn't be used against MAVs very often, but the AA...unless there's a helicopter or jet up at the moment, it's not like they got anything better to shoot at. There's no reason for them not to nail your MAV since it gives them points and they got infinite ammo. Sadly since the MAV doesn't have flares, it's pretty much a turkey shoot

LOL a MAV w/ Flares. THAT would be broken. Can you imagine trying to shoot that fucker down then? Would be hilarious to use but annoying as hell to be against.

Do all of the air vehicles start with counter measures?

Any tips for timing their release?



I think the first question has been answered. As for the second question though, there are 3 different tones that you get when someone is locking onto you. The first two tones are the same as you get when you're the one locking onto something.

The first is a BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP tone, which indicates someone is attempting to lock you.

The second is a long, constant BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, which means they are locked on to you.

The third tone is similar to the first in that it is a BEEP BEEP BEEP, but it beeps much faster, which indicates they have launched a missile onto you.

You have to make sure that you launch counter-measures while the rocket is mid-air (Third tone) else they will have no affect.

That would be pretty cool, you would have a perfect anti anti-AA squad with 2 pilots and a MAV pilot to fuck around mobile AAs

BTW is it possible to destroy MAV's with another MAV? because it has on the left mouse button some sorta zap that is able to destroy radio beacons. did anyone ever try to kill a MAV with it?

Has these been here already?




Also there should be new game mode in the expansion pack called "Conquest Assault", similar to Battlefield 2142's assault lines.

My question is, will the new game mode be for all existing maps or only for the Karkand maps?

And I hadn't seen it yet, thanks for showing
