I really miss spotting where the objective is.
Evolved1 said:
NO U. I'm getting that hard achievement out of the way before I pull my hair out with randoms.
Faceless: Your mission this week is to find me a way over that ledge via out of bounds in Tehran Highway.
Is it "Hard" Co-op? If not, not yet. I'm knocking that out of the way first before going to the lower difficulties to grind.

I has mortar. Can I has spotters now?
Squad leader can do that. Squad leader SHOULD DO that.eternaLightness said:
This game is fucking awesome! The maps are smaller and have only 24 players at most on consoles but it is still the best MP game i've ever played. Gonna play this for a long time...
I think jets unlock anti-ground weapons a tad late. I have heat seekers and i fly pretty well so shooting other jets and helos is easy but also quite useless due Iglas and Stingers eating helos for breakfast and jets being useless against ground targets without missiles or bombs.
I suppose this will change as more people unlock those... if they get to fly, or bother to fly in the first place.
Oh and IFVs? They're beasts. I disabled a tank in full health with a TOW missile and then proceeded to destroy it with the auto cannon. A lot of inftranty? No problem, remove cover with a TOW, snipe them with the auto cannon and pop smoke when retreating.

So, did anyone find out definitively if installing the disk AND the HD pack makes the game look worse?
So are the AA machine guns. One round, I gunned down several planes and choppers. The other team got pissed and started bringing tanks over to where my AA gun was. The AA guns can't be destroyed so they kept trying to blow me up but I kept shredding the fuck out of the tanks and racked up several kills that way. They finally stopped trying to fly and bring tanks over by me and the skies were clear for our choppers. :lolWoorloog said:

People haven't seemed to figure out that if you're exposing the rear of your tank, you're gonna die.
Also, mortar isn't overpowered in the least. It's great when people spot, but it also makes you a sitting duck. Also, it shoots slow as hell.
The smoke rounds may be the best use of them though.
Engineer plus a tank or IFV is nigh unstoppable. Hell, you don't even need a machine gunner, you can steamroll the enemies all by yourself as long as they stay unorganized and you manage to take breaks to fix your tank/IFV.EasyTGT said:
Frankly, i think the engineer's torch needs a nerf, it should overheat after a few second of repairing or simply be a tad slower. Keep EODbot repair strong (i assume it is identical to the torch) as using the bot leaves you open to attack anyway.

maybe because it might be faster to read data from two sources instead of one.Woorloog said:

Miguel is whom you're talking about I think.
I just did it, and noticed more pop in. Like way more.
I'm gonna go back to having the HD pack installed first, then install the MP disk.

actually, the maps are the same size, it's just that Conquest 64 has more Flags than Conquest (32/24), well, except for Operation Metro, that's exactly the same in 64.Woorloog said:

Im installing the Multi Disk now.
I think the issue is the HD pack for some people when installing it reboots causing a faulty install but DICE devs havent answered any of me and others questions regarding

Dude. DUUUUUUUUUDE. Hard mode = Increased damage + bleedout time. If I go down, that circle prompt is a cue to run your ass over. >_> I went with Hard because you said you didn't care whichever and I want to clear the mission Dream and I stopped at on Hard.
That last bit was a bitch but you ran outside and died and I tried to run over there to revive you and died in the process because they literally say there is no cover. >_>
If we both die we have to restart there is NO checkpoints in that mode.
At least I got somewhat comfortable with the attack choppers. Default controls and I'm not too sure about it in multiplayer games just yet but now I guess that leaves being comfortable in the jets.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
TheSeks said:
That was an accident, I'm sorry... they rushed in and I wasn't prepared, and there was no cover at all. We were so close. Also, I revived your ass quite a few times brother.
But for some reason anytime I went down I was D.E.A.D. no chance for revive. *sigh*
Edit: anyway thanks for playing with me. you got me the REX! I guess points count even when you fission mail.
Evolved1 said:
Dude there was a few times (like that second part of "on point") where I'm sitting there bleeding out and you're focusing on enemies. I'm sitting there firing on you since FF = on trying to get your attention. :lol
Evolved1 said:
Yeah, but bleedout is a bit more important than safety. If it's like U2/Gears once the other person is revived damage is removed. I ran my ass out in the line of fire to get you at times because Hard is hard only in the damage increase sense. So we have to be a LOT more careful in that area.

TheSeks said:
My final word on it is: you did not once bleed out. I got you every time. The only time I didn't, the zone was too hot and I got picked off during the revive.
But I agree we should be more careful... it's a matter of knowing what's coming as well. This was my first time on the level. Every new section was a surprise. I improved with each attempt. Save the last, but I was getting tired. lol

OK so im now getting 0 pop in, amazing looking game and a functional HD pack. If your getting crazy pop in on XBOX do this guys.
Uninstall everything if you already have.
Install HD pack alone and make sure it doesnt reboot the install.
then install the disk.
Enjoy!

Yeah, that's what I had before. Game ran excellent and looked fantastic.
I'm glad Seks and Evolved are learning the chopper. We need more pilots! They are essential in big maps like Caspian, especially on conquest. I lost a round with Olimpia today in Caspian by less than 30 tickets and one of the main reasons was a great chopper pilot on the other team.

My goal is to shoot down a heli with a mortar.

Dream, dude, seriously: WTF?
I swim a marathon and stealth insert at the BACK of the first set base for Operation Metro. Literally skimming the out of bounds and stealth takedown a sniper and another dude. Go sit near the rock.
"Surely Dream will spawn as recon and spawn beacon this point to let the cavalry come in and sweep across the base to A."
Support, support, support, support, support.
I'm like "WTF, dude!? You generally spawn recon when I want you to be something else and now all of a sudden you're doing something else when I want you to be a recon!?" *mind boggles*
Also that team was really good, I have to give them props for holding that first set and making us work across the map on their turn to attack but man it was frustrating. I'm sitting there being mown from every direction while trying to set up a defense to where I pretty much had to resort to rocket spam to get them out of places.
B last set is in the open. If people remove most of the cover or cover most of the points there it's really hard for them to get to. It's just a matter of once they get there and arming, we're fucked. :/

You don't even have most of the unlocks yet, do you? Once I get the UAV replacement on recon I'm going to start using the other classes.
I need to join a random public game one of these days and beat someone to the helicopter punch now that I'm sort of comfortable flying them. I got an airkill on Dramavand Peak with it circling the humvee that came down. Was really ballsy and made me feel good about suddenly clicking with the default pilot controls.
