Hey only 500% metro accounts for shame

Also Metro as an IDEA is good. In EXECUTION it's a terrible map. Conquest or Rush. On TDM it's actually pretty tolerable and I wish they'd move the battle into the tunnel themselves to give people a bunch of breathing and hiding room. But I know they won't on consoles given the 16 less players it has over PC.
Oh man olimpia84 was raging hard like never before because a guy was playing quite bad (Even worse than me)
Then i got kicked by the admin during a cool match.

I enjoy playing all classes though i play a short range recon. I dont have the patience to stay sit in a place for hours.

I understand its usefullness, and will play as it if needed, but I hate LMGs so much.
M240AB + Hipfire + Bipod and Extended mag + Suppression Perk = U GET MOWED BY MY TROLLOLOLOL~o/`
If in CQC = hip-fire. If in long-range = bipod.
Mid-range? ADS or hip-fire if you want to suppress.
The LMG's are all good, but the only one that gives me trouble is the Type-88 due to the shitty iron sights and the M60 is a bit iffy in comparison to BC2 (pre or post-nerf) but they're ALL good. You just have to know to hip-fire them in CQC and you'll win battles in general.
Hell, I got banned using nothing but the M240AB in servers before.
Maybe that's it, I usually aim down the sights with LMGs, and the recoil is horrendous. Only LMG I've used lately is the M27/RPK, and that's only because those two are the closest to an assault rifle.
If you want we could practice in a private server if Dream turned ranked off so I wouldn't have to worry about my stats with my shitty/half-broke connection right now to get you to adjust. LMG's take a bit of practice to get used to. I think the only one I downright hate (outside the Type-88's shitty iron sights) is the PKP and that's due to the INSANE recoil on that bitch (but that's countered by it's high damage).

I do that now and then, but you have to remember: You have a bigger "magazine"/clip (I think the LMG's ammo type is clips) than they do so hip-firing in those situations and having the cross-hair on them is preferable to taking the reaction ADS.
And this is true for the other types of guns as well, but you don't have to switch with the LMG's so your safe to spray spray spray
Really if I can get 15 to roughly 18% accuracy with the LMG's, anyone can use them with good effect.
type-88
RPK (gotta finish unlocks on that one)
And gotta unlock the last M249 unlock as well...
I love the Joy's Patriot. It's so godly. (and I think I used it before extended mag was unlocked so the removal wouldn't do too much for me. But I haven't used it since the patch, I should fix that...)
So, yeah. LMG's are good, guys. You gotta practice practice practice and get a "feel" for them.

You were not playing bad, it was the rest of our team who didn't have a clue what they were doing. Seriously, today was a bad day for me. Every team that I was in was pure and absolute shit. And of course the other teams were stacked up the roof with colonels. No matter what server I played I ended up in the shittiest team possible and a gaffer or two can't make up for all the shittiness of the useless randoms.

I enjoy the support class a lot. I have pretty decent accuracy with them. Lowest (17.75%) with the M240 and highest (20%) with the M27. PKP and the M27 are my favourite.
Duuuuuude. Use the MG36. It's crazy good. You can ADS it in mid-range and just spit hot hell fire at people.
Issue of the clip size wasn't too huge a deal for me because you shouldn't be using it for extended spraying/suppression purposes. You use it for a mobility hellfire purpose.
Well, I can't argue with this tactic since it's one I use regularly. If no one was helping you defend two unprotected and uncontested sites then yes, we have a problem. However, base sites are, generally speaking, pretty important. But yeah, in the situation you're painting, I'd have done exactly the same. In fact, getting as much attention to C as possible would guarantee the eventual A cap (although A is dumb with that many buildings and floors and hiding spots -- argh, hate metro).

I have 275 kills with it, have everything unlocked. It just never clicked with me though. PKP is the most fun gun for me in this class. Clearing out whole squads with that 200 clip magazine never gets old. I also have more success with teh M27 for run and gun. Love its quick reload time.

(If you're wondering about the low accuracy, I often shoot the M249 just to provide suppression fire/distractions.)
Suuuuure.

Hey, um... hopefully this won't annoy anyone. But my cousin, who only plays CoD asked me if I'd introduce him to battlefield. I want to show him the ropes, so I changed the map rotation on the official sever to "test" with just vanilla vehicle maps. Should only be for a couple hours, then I'll switch it back. Server was empty...
If this is a problem, I'm sorry, and I'll rent my own...

Make sure you set it to private and 2 player start (to at least get some points out of it...)

I shot a SOFLAM yesterday on Noshar while I was in the Little Bird, so I guess it's possible. They're hard to hit tho

Might as well let him earn some points while you're at it.
"Alright, I'm going to ram this jeep into that rock right now. Then you should try to repair it."
The best round I've ever played was a 1750 Metro Conquest. Now I know 90% of these turn into baserapes within the first 10 mins and it goes on for an hour or so. This round i played was just well balanced and it was constant back and forth for 2 HRS straight. finished with 200 kills that round, and it got so intense in the last 15 mins, everybody wanted to win and I saw the best teamwork in a public game ever.
But such games are few and far apart.

Nice long and hard sesh tonight, got all the trophies for the CO-OP stuff, awww yeah
Congratulations! I'll never get the sniping one. Only trophy I need for the platinum. Such a stupid level. I hate trophies you cannot get by yourself.

OH bc2 was way worse for that, Knife 5 friends ( only 2 of my friends online actually played it at the time) and 20 destruction kills online was quite an ask as destroying a building may sound easy, it used to be a right pain strategically placing C4 around the supports and then having to wait for some fuckwit to come along and make camp, then of course if you died whilst waiting you'd have to do it all again, or maybe somebody else set of the C4 with a nade >.>

My shot will often not register... borking the entire mission. It's an exercise in frustration and I refuse to even attempt it anymore. Do everything perfect and the internet still dicks you over.

The destruction trophy. When you want it, it's hard. When you no longer care for it, destruction came raining down.
knife 5 friends wasn't that bad.

knife 5 friends i got in squad rush on 360 and got naturally on PS3 back when PS3 GAF was overflowing.
the destruction... you just get from playing... pretty sure i had well over 100 on each console.

I remember boosting for the destruction trophy with NoStyle and some other random people. In the end, I think I ended up having enough legit demo kills by just playing the game but it would have taken me close to 1000 hours since I never got that lucky with those.
Speaking of trophies, I still need to attempt the Co-op and single player for BF3. I'm so not looking forward to them but I really want to platinum this game.
