So, they are working exactly as intended and not broken at all.

I don't think you're doing it right, because flares don't stop laser guided weapons and ECM doesn't stop missiles which have already been fired UNLESS you time it so that the missiles fly through the active chaff cloud. So, working as intended.
The only countermeasure that I've seen broken, is chopper gunner flares, which pretty consistently prevent nothing.
ECM should break lock ons, but it often enough does not so you still get locked on though the whole time ECM is active, that is the problem. ( funny enough I sometimes even get locked on by a soflam when hovering behind buildings <3) Flares are intended to missguide laser guided missiles but obviously dont but that is another topic ;D

I'm not taking the time to comb through the video for any other new guns. I did noticed 1-3 more, I will let people on youtube go through it.
Very cool, if that is the kind of gameplay you like. What I am worried about is that the destruction in the map will only apply to really specific areas, and those areas will just instantly be destroyed; destruction won't be a very tactical thing, as it should be.

I've never had problems like that, but I think there might be some issues similar to client side hit detection. Sometimes I think I fire ECM on time, but they still get to fire the missile. That could be if there is a delay between when they start locking and when I get the warning tone.
So anyone wanna share some recent games that you've played that was awesome?
I think all of us had enough of the whining, and its still possible to have epicly fun games right now despite of all the complains and bugs that DICE created in BF3. let me get the ball rolling.
This game was played last night, got like 2 rounds in before i went to bed. It was my 2nd round using the G3A3, which if you check my stats is the only Assault Rifle that i have without at least 1 service star. 1st off i would like to say that this gun FRICKING PWNS in close quarter combat(i have it raw, without any attachment...yet). The iron sights were good enough....the 21 bullet clip seem small, but when you only require 3 bullets to take someone out, its still a heck lot of firepower before reloading.
This game was actually pretty even, just that with my team holding 3 of the 5 points most of the time, they just couldnt push out much, they did break out a few times, but we held(flag defender yay!). The game was basically a contest with the MVP Ethan vs me, however he was in a tank, while i was on foot. We were neck to neck in scores at the beginning, he lost his tank once which allowed me to overtake his scores for a bit....he got a new tank and wrecked my dreams of getting MVP in this round. Infact the entire server was commenting on All Chat on who will get MVP, me and Ethan were like pushing each other harder...its pretty funny when even the opposing team were like taking bets on who will get MVP.
Pretty unfair for me imo i dont have a tank to take shots for me haha. Its not a epic game, but hell it was funny as mad.
However i do have a question, how did i get to 5.1k score with only 29kills? i didnt revive much(see lack of medical ribbon) and my score was so high up compared to the 3rd MVP(measly 3.3k). I just played the game to the best of my ability so it was a surprise that i actually have that high of a score to me.
Flag captures, kill assists? supression assists? Sometimes I can have really horrible records and still get a pretty good score because of flag points or assists lol.
I need to learn how to start up my rampage faster, seems like I go 0-4 before hitting that stride and going on a kill streak. This is most prevalent when I'm using semi-auto snipers with a suppressor on.
I actually want to know what is the best range for the rocket launcher. I know it has a minimum arming range, and there is a dropoff in damage because I love to shoot buildings in Kharg Island from far away. So there has to be a optimal range for the rocket to shoot, because one rocket usually cause some debris to fall at best on a building.
This one played last night with 4 of my buddies was pretty good for a match. Not so much stats or whatever, but for the fact that there were a lot of hectic fights and some cool squad play to allow for us to dominate the match. Also, choppers nicely circumvent the shithole that is suppression.

I feel your pain man, im the same i die a couple of times then i go on a streak. But from a SPM point of view thats the better playstyle :D because of the combat efficiency ribbons. if you are 8-8 in a match Its much better you when you got there by dying 8 times then killing 8 times than kill, die, kill, die...
As you can see i have returned to my roots of being a AN94 whore. Sometimes i feel like that girl that always goes back to her abusive boyfriend XD. I toyed around with the SKS for a while but i realised that i prefer the AN94 a little more (although i have to say that those two rifles are very similar and can be played the same way). The SKS is great for midrange but it obviously lacks at closerange and surprisingly even at longrange compared to the AN94. What turns me of the most is the much slower bulletspeed and higher bulletdrop. Its just so much easier to hit moving targets with the AN94 at longrange. And of course assault has better equipment than recon.

I've met this abusive boyfriend of yours. We are dating behind your back and I fucking love him. The AN-94 is the perfect pub-stomping machine. From a safe range you can continously pick off anyone poping their head up from anywhere. With the innate chaos of random pubs where the teams unorganized you simply take out the headless hen's running around. It's another playstyle I've found where it's not about getting a "good" score but rather getting an amazing score and beating your previous record. I guess our local AN-94-god altered could say more about it :p.

I'm the opposite, I get more then half my kills in my first 1-3 spawns.
Still haven't seen any footage of destruction playing a strategical role. It's looks rather like an artistic nuance much like the BF3 sun, tac-lights etc etc. I'm exicted about the DLC tho

Im the opposite. i pretty much stay consistent all game round, hitting a slow at the end tho. usually its the ending of a round that gets me killed a lot, i suppposed mainly from me slowing down my pace/losing focus/taking unnecessary risks
Raaagee. Today i got disconnected from EA online while playing with wakadodo and now i cant join any game anymore. Everytime i want to join a server it says joining server forever until i get the message: you were disconnected from EA online (1). WTF everything worked fine for so long now suddendly i cant join servers anymore. Nothing on my pc changed no patches or updates for the game. just from one second to the other nothing works anymore and battlelog lags as hell. fml

What the shit . We had such a glorious baserape going on.
FIST's past tanker actually joined that server the next game, she's ranked 6th tanker in the world IIRC. Damavand really attracts people who just want to murder people in tanks. If you want high spm tankwhore on Damavand Peaks .
Well, something weird happened yesterday, I got a 4 kill grenade yesterday, run over to the spot to check if there's anyone left, and apparently, I suicided with my own grenade. I've seen this happen in montage videos, but it sucks out the high out of a kill streak.
Also, I always feel disappointed with my team when I get a high score, mostly because I tend to join in during the middle of games, and that I'm running around with a semi-auto sniper with a suppressor to pew-pew people from 20-50m away.

I've also met this abusive boyfriend of yours. Unfortunately, after getting 500 kills with this guy, I felt indifference towards him, even though I shoot at a 28.5% clip due to the ACOG and Heavy Barrel. Of course, everybody feels good when there's your best friend, the medpack to help you up in jams because who dares to use the M26/M320 in CQB.
Damavand Peak attracts all the tank players, since there's barely any room to flank tanks because of the corridors if you push with your team. Canister shells is even better because there's a tighter spread due to the layout of the map. Tank whoring on Damavand is a great way of increasing SPM. I don't play on Damavand Peak because of that, and the fact that I like my Guided Missile on other maps and lazy to customize.
I was using the G3A3 for a while after the patch and although I like its raw power (and the sound it makes!), I went back to the AN-94. Anyone sitting still for a split second at any range, will die to it, pure and simple, even with its 100% accuracy removed.
Up close you can still fire it quick enough to win and mid range you'll dominate as long as you can aim properly and stick to cover. The AN-94 will easily punch that tiny hole in their cover or those few pixels of the enemy you can see and then it's just a matter of shooting the 2burst two or three times and bam, a kill. I only play on Hardcore so it may be different on Softcore/Normal, but it's reliability at range is amazing if you can control your fire. That said, G3A3 is still a beast, I still pick it up from time to time.
