I wish there was a practice mode like BF1943 has... I'm scared to pilot helicopters.

Fuck the new rotations. AT LEAST LEAVE A FEW FULL-RUSH SERVERS FOR HARDCORE MODE GODDAMNIT.
Our crew only plays rush. Conquest on consoles is awful. Might as well go back to BC2.
Best thing in this shitty sequel.

I've discovered my purpose in this game: Turrets.
Got a 24 kill streak on the top of a tank the other night. Did something similar in a chopper yesterday. I've also begun to drive jeeps into flag zones and just switch to the turret and mow people down as they pass by unsuspectingly. I love turrets.
I still need to become much more familiar with the maps, but at level 35, I am finally starting to really get the hang of this game. Also, the SCAR-H on Engineer is super overlooked. Best weapon on Engy as far as I'm concerned.

Er-there is. It's called "Fire from the Sky" co-op.
Too bad you're hardcore, which destroys half the game otherwise I'd join up since GAF doesn't play GLORIOUS MASTER RACE mode. *cough*
Also you can still get full Rush. Just don't join the [DICE] servers, surely? EA and P# are still full Rush rotations.

Speaking of... what are the P# servers. I understand enough that EA controls [EA] servers and Dice the [Dice] ones... but P#? What the hell are those?
So with the new server setup, if I only select to show Conquest servers, like I always have, it now will throw me into a Rush match. I select to play B2K maps only and it keeps throwing me into Rush. I don't want to play Rush. I don't like Rush.
Epic Battles seems to be my go to server now. No Rush and no stupid Operation Metro or Damavand Peak! Big thanks for that one, DICE -- seriously. The mixing in Rush when I don't have the Rush box checked is annoying though.
I've only played on two maps in Rush, Strike at Karkand & Gulf of Oman...terrible, terrible layout. Rush was actually decent in BC2, but from mythree four experiences on those two maps... yuck.

Fixed.
Also, please tell me they're going to fix the glitch that you can be killed out of the cockpit by a single rocket while in a Chopper/Jet.
Yeah they definitely have to tweak the server browser search parameters. They should also tweak the quick match settings so you can select "Conquest Only", etc.
It's not really a glitch, the missile hits the cockpit and the radius of the explosion kills the pilot/copilot.
I haven't heard anything about them changing it, but next patch RPGs and tank shells will instantly destroy attack helicopters and jets.
You need to select Epic Battles if you're after CQ only. B2K only servers rotate between Rush/CQ.
Yeah, I know. I liked playing B2K maps only because it kept me away from Operation Metro and Damavand Peak, but Epic Battles seems to do that. Plus, now I get to play maps I like: Caspian Border, Kharg Island, Operation Firestorm -- with the B2K maps. So that's awesome.
Oh that explains why I can get shot out of the cockpit even though the rocket hits the back of the Chopper.
Meh, never seen that happen, maybe lag.
Nope.
I know what you are talkng about. It has happened to me on multiple occasions and it is frustrating as fuck. I thought I read something in the upcoming patches that was going to eliminate this, I'll check later when I get the chance.
I really don't get some of the stuff that goes on with the air warfare locks and such.
Had a really strange one the other night where I locked onto a heli with a stinger, fired, he flared, locked on again and me and a squadmate both fired and our missiles just flew in parallel following a straight path to where he had been at the time we fired (in the middle of the Wake Island inlet) while he veered slightly to the right. He didn't flare again or ECM. He wasn't moving fast.

iirc the patch notes for the next patch did say they were fixing this.
And people say F-35s are useless

Some epic wins tonight guys, GGs.
Like, how do you manage to lose a Canals game when you start on the RU side, have two tanks, have ALL THREE choppers and have five Colonels and more players throughout most of the game? Ask these guys
Blue, I told you to stay on our side

just saw this:
Nah, I've been playing MGS2. And I've forgotten how bad it is. >_> I'm not a Raiden hater (okay, I am) but man going through with no alerts and getting the dog tags on Hard is maddddd frustrating.

Nah, the USAS is just as broken in CoD8 as it is here. Just less so because no frag rounds.
That said, the AA-12 with a Foregrip has it beat if you slap scavenger on yourself (since it pukes ammo) to where if you get good at using a pistol (or using overkill for another primary) to switch to when you can't reload you pretty much dominate close and/or all ranges.

Best of the night for me was the water tower guy! Haha
Had a classic XBOX Live moment last night: Managed to snag the gunner in a Viper off spawn, but the pilot was so butthurt his buddy didn't get in he proceeded to spend the next two minutes just flying around spawn bumping into things trying to "scare" me into bailing before finally succumbing to full rage-mode and crashing us.
Okay, we don't love you. Bye-bye!
Hahahaha. No it isn't. The only thing 1943 has is more destruction. 3 maps isn't better, but whatever. Go back there where the game has about 14 people playing it off-and-on.
Finally re downloaded the 3gigs of patches and B2K map pack to have the new guns working at last.
I love Dice, but they are fucking lazy. Couldn't they do proper QA to verify if the new weapons would work properly in the new maps they are fucking bundled with???
Dice is the Bethesda of the first person shooters. Their games are great, when they work as intended.
I'm getting freezes when I boot the game almost everyday, not to mention during gameplay.

March 27 for PS3
The full patch is huge! (Specially for the PC crowd)
Hey JJD check this out:
DISABLE ANTI-ALIASING ON PS3 TO REDUCE INPUT LAG
PlayStation 3 players may now turn off anti-alias in the options menu to reduce input lag.
Curious about this one:

Wow that's great Fersis!!! It's going to be included in the in game menu? Thanks for the heads up bro, you rock!!!
I wonder how the game will look...I game on a 64' plasma...
I bet it's going to look horrible!
Who cares anyway? NO LAG!!!
Patch Notes said:
I think this patch is going to be very good!
I saw no mention of this, but I hope they fixed the blinking flag glitch on the mini map.
Someone needs to remind them that there was AA and no input lag in the beta. SMH
Yeah, I think it's kinda dumb too. It defeats the purpose of the laser...

Just be lucky you aren't getting it first if B2K is anything to go by. B2K 360/PC didn't have the gun bug that the PS3 release did. Probably because they spent that extra week polishing it to make sure it didn't happen there. So count yourself lucky you aren't getting this patch until we PS3 people take the blunders and have to deal with it for another three months. :/
Oh I play on the PS3 also and I am happy about the hopeful lag fix but it is not my primary platform for the game. I just can not believe how badly they miss manage the community. Their community manager is as rude as possible on his twitter. They announced a day of.. an announcement and then left 2/3 of their platform gamers with a "soon"
