I prefere to play HC when im playing in a squad with my friends. We play supercareful and each life becomes a great action-packed adventure. Sneak and gun instead of run 'n' gun. It's more about finding safe paths to reach a spot with good angles on your enemy. I like it cause it's less emphasis on gunplay. When I want to murder people I go city maps on normal .

It's really, really annoying when you get low health and everything is black and white tho. >_<

Anyone have an opinion on the latest patch? Personally I am really glad they are addressing all of the balance concerns that the community has, but I am sad that they are making it so you can't detonate C4 after dying . On my incredibly [un]popular youtube, I was going to upload videos of me wrecking with only C4 and knife, but I can't really do that anymore haha

Metro is the fastest way to level up, that map with 64 people is spam fest for sometimes up to an hour, even as recon (if you play 'smart') you can get a crap ton of kills/points.

The fastest way would be a 64 man metro server, as mentioned before. You'll level slowly as a recon, though (compared to the other classes) as there's little you can do for support, which usually nets the most points. You might get a sweet spot where you can rack up some kills but usually the battle will shift and then your spot has become worthless and others might already be taken or overcrowded.

Metro is a decent map for weapon practice and point whoring but it can easily suck the fun out of the game if you overdo it, as that map has nothing to do with Battlefield.

Whore Metro; dump your T-UGS (motion sensor) near the side stairs as there is always a massive nade/320/RPG spam fest there and you will rack up mass points. The T-UGS will automatically pick up enemy players nearby and mark their location on the map, and every time someone gets a kill, you'll get a spotting bonus.

Should probably also use the frag specialisation too if you've already got it. Nade spam helps. There are locations you can sit for either side too and wait for the wanna-be-hero to try and make a mad dash up/down those stairs so that you can take their heads off for free kills :\

dont use the sniper rifles to level recon , way to slow , get the mp7 from co-op , slap extended mag & laser sights on it and go on a killing spree in team deathmatch. shouldent take you long to unlock the sniper rifles
The futures uncertain , but the end is always near

For such an incredible shooter, this game is buggy as hell. And they need to patch a couple things that are dumb, like that little flying drone that is supposed to be used to mark enemy locations, and more often I see it running into people and killing them. Or another bug (happened twice now), is when someone revives me I am revived as a different/class soldier than I was before.

And my main complaint is on the massive levels with vehicles. If the other team gets control of the air its game over. Period. Ive even had a friend join who is an ace in a jet, but the opposing team just blew up our heli's and jets as they respawned. And some more viable anti air (surface to air) is needed.

Did you die as assault? Because sometimes people will take your kit to revive you with it and you will automatically get theirs as a result.

When you get revived as another class it's because someone swapped gear with you before you got revived. For instance, you get killed as an assault, but your engineer squadmate cleans up your killer, then swaps gear with you so he can revive you, but now you got his kit instead of the one he took from you.

The MAV will now be destroyed after hitting someone come next patch.

MAV is working as intended, but will be patched soon. Revive "bug" has been explained some posts before.

As for your "issues" with vehicle levels: Air dominance means nothing. More often than not the team ruling the skies will lose in the end because they're wasting time, personnel and tickets on doing anything but playing the objective. Proper helicopter and jet ground support can contribute to winning a round, but this is very rare on public servers. Most of the time, you'll just see jet pilots hunting after dogfights and chopper pilots teamkilling their gunners when they inevitably crash.

If you're off against a couple of good pilots, a single ace on your own team will have no chance to take them down. A concerted effort on AA from your own team - manning the stationary AA, manning the AA tank and having some engineers with IGLA/Stinger blasting away at the skies can quickly turn the tide in your favor.

And if you're being baseraped, with vehicles blown up the moment they spawn and your stationary AA long in shambles: Just leave the server. Chances are you won't see your team coming back from the siege and you'll just build up frustration over how little your own team is willing to do to change things. Been there, done that, and now I usually just Alt + F4 the moment I see my team being baseraped into oblivion, so I can find another server with more even teams.

its quite rare that air domination really gives a big advantage. jets arent that dangerous for ground , if air dominates its usually a good chopper pilot+gunner that really changes the game on the ground.

but even then between iglas, AA tank, javelin/soflam and tank laser targeting+guided you can always shoot em down or atleast deny airspace.

and as others said, if they start baseraping then man the big stationary flak or leave.

Air base raping really doesn't do a whole lot unless you team is dumb and keeps trying to take off. They'll swarm it with a heli and two jets. Let them face you on the ground 9 v 12 (or whatever).

and yeah fastest way to level recon is USAS + Tugs on metro or other tight maps. Pick a high traffic corner, drop tugs and rack it up

If you want to level in Métro, grab an SMG or a shotgun and sprint spec. Then when the round starts run behind enemy lines, plant a beacon and start taking those guys from behind.

TDM with shotties and smgs (or even snipers if you're playing HC) racks up points quite well.

Or you can do the same thing I did, just snipe in Conquest and get those fat marksman bonus points.
You should also try getting L96 unlocked. It's a far superior rifle compared to the M98B in my opinion.

Why do you like the L96 better? I can't imagine using anything but the m98 these days. It's a solid 25+ more than any other rifle I think? The drop is minimal on it too

I just personally prefer it. Can't really explain. I guess it has a better feel to it.

in what ways ? m98b has less drop and flies faster which makes it easier to hit moving targets. havent used any other bolt action rifle since i unlocked the m98b.

and imho just do it the hard way, go and snipe. it will take time to learn proper sniping anyways so taking shortcuts doesnt help much.

The L96 is better at medium range for an aggressive recon playstyle (the perfect rifle for that actually) because of the larger ammo capacity and better reload time (I like how the rifle feels too at small to medium ranges), and the M98B is the best sniper rifle for long range sniping, because of the small bullet drop (and previously higher dmg, but I think it got patched).
