Finally put the game back in (360) and it's still filled with rented servers with high tickets. Want to grab a DICE dev and shake that stupid bastard lol. Yeesh, I hate this game now, but I had hope this would be fixed by now, so I kept it. Official Epic Battles Conquest, DICE!

RPG spam isn't too popular because of the low splash damage.
i imagine if it was BC2, people would have been running around with Carl Gustavs.
after trying many different things, drop AT mines in a zig zag pattern now. it seems to work out better than other options i've tried
and yeah, i'm usually playing with my mic on mute... but i listen!!
DICE
gotta use the search now :/
If I was the owner of that forest infidel server I would straight out ban anyone wearing a GAF tag just for showing there...
Also, who is that Old Friend guy who is always joining our games?
Codman you got me on that D-peak game in the tank! I missed a shot when I was already disabled and you landed two in a row. I was going down if my team didn't rush you. Let THN be king, you can be our Tank Emperor! Or maybe Tank Czar! Sounds much cooler! Haha ;-)

I still have the most success with slopes (vehicles driving down a sharp slope usually can't see the mine due to blocked vision, that or a fast vehicle won't be able to spot it till too late), dark spots, potholes (karkland), and train tracks. Oddly enough, I'm getting less and less "plant at mines under vehicle and wait for enemy to get in" kills.
Haven't found a good "pattern" per say. I just lay two on top of one another to minimize the chance of them being seen.
I honestly don't understand people who lay them down in one straight line.
Proximity-based AT mines was horrendously op man.
I use to just place a bunch of mines right outside of the Arica base 1 gate. The gate wall blocks the tank from seeing the AT-mine - they drive through the gate, boom.
We already established that he'll be called Tank Queen.
Whenever Olimipia and you kids feel like getting out of the sandbox... *hands to head in Y* call me. Pro mode will welcome you and I'm sure that server will be thankful.
After I get this packet loss fixed. :|
I do it partly in haste (to not get seen and have them blown up) and partly because I thought the mines were proxy based like BC2 where if someone trips one in the line it'll blow them all and kill them. No wonder I haven't gotten AT mine kills. :/

i dunno 100% how AT Mine damage is calculated, but it just seems like spreading them does more damage than pairing them. that, and the whole no proximity thing is why i zig zag them, though in some spots i also do a straight line. especially when trolling base exits.

I don't know.
I haven't find the perfect all-applicable strategy for BF3 AT-mines yet, so I can only abuse the same "sweet spots" for now. That being said, a zig zag placement just isn't that appealing to me, since you'll at least need 3 mines at one place + spreading it out makes it much easier to spot. I rather take my chances with pairs and plant them at 3 spots.
Also, forgot to say, corners are great places to put them also.
I've placed them in D-peak conquest B, right behind the crate where vehicles would have to turn in to get the B flag. Gets people 60% of the time. By the time the tank spots them, it's usually too late.

We play Rush often too. Login more often and you'll see.
Played some good games today with gaffers. Sorry if I sucked from not playing for over 3 weeks. Also sorry for yelling at you guys to do a kit swap on metro. It was just so frustrating because we should of won by much more than we did. Anyways my aiming sucks and dawn destroyed me, but hey we won every match but one.
Nice to have you back! Can you hear me when I use my mic? I use a headset and sometimes the game noise drowns out the squad audio and I can't tell if the mic is picking up my voice.
Yeah I heard you loud and clear. Gonna play some pro mode later tonight if your gonna get on. Pro mode is actually becoming more fun. The only fun games I have in conquest now are either GAF vs GAF or GAF vs another good clan.
I'm at work right now from 1800-0600 central, but my week off starts after that so I'll be on more. Yeah, rush is more fun. Those games today were kinda boring.

The free PRIMA Close Quarters Strategy guide for premium members is pretty good.
Although it is sort of ridiculous to expect people to follow through with some of the strategy in CQ. It's worth a download if you have the time.

I had an amazing round on Seine Crossing tonight. I was 89-20. 156K points. 4 medals. Unlocked 5 items for my M240B. 9 nemesis ribbons. 18 claymore kills. 2 service stars. It was like The Perfect Storm of BF3. I doubt I'll ever see its like again.
Unfortunately, it wound up being a loss. We had the match well in hand while my friend PPH2 and I were holding down D, and drawing all their attention, but once we left and tried to take C, the dominoes fell and we were outnumbered and trapped in our spawn at the end. Round lasted 85 minutes.

Missing out on July 4th games...
It's so hot in my room during the day (no AC) I'm afraid the PS3 will catch on fire every time I turn it on...

Put it in a tub of ice. It will be cool in there.
Can't be as bad as waiting for a dude that's supposed to show up to fix your connection and hasn't (yet, 8AM to 9PM my ass)
OMG did they seriously set that time frame?
Yeah. But it seems my connection is somewhat good. Let's see...
Where art forth thou, Facelessmaster? :|
Edit: nevermind. Connection is dropping. Goddamn it. :|

where am i? eating & drinking @ family & friends 4th of July BBQ. I think I had too much Cruzan Rum...
Yeah, well I'm having a beer. We can drunk troll together. :|
(I think it's fixed. Going to get back online to see)
No fucking reason for this loss. NONE.
Also JM: Babe, if the tactic isn't working: STOP IT. WHY THE HELL DID YOU STICK TO MEDIC A WHOLE ROUND AS WE GET BEAT OVER AND OVER AND OVER WITH TANKS AND YOU SEE ME USING SOFLAM TO GET THE TEAM TO LOCK ON TO A TANK AND HASSLE THEM!?
WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?
Even the fucking team wasn't using it. That whole team was made of morons. I could put a tank into position or rush to a tank to repair it and someone would run off or not get in to gun for me. WHY!?
I could put a SOFLAM up against GAF and no one would use it only for it to be taken out FIVE TIMES after I resupply it to put it back up again. WHY!?
WHY!? JUST WHY.JPGS all around!

Yeah, I wasn't on top of my game tonight. My mind is occupied on other stuff right now lol.
I just thought I would help by reviving people since it seemed like I was walking around in a grave yard of dead bodies so often and we were getting hammered.
Not sure what everyone else was doing, but you're right, I should have switched to Engineer to take that tank out.
We were getting hammered because no one seemed to hit the tanks until I started to. No one started to go over to the rock until I did (and then too many people did). It's "follow the leader"/lemming syndrome mostly. And then we got disorganized after that 0 ticket arm/overtime first set loss.
Also Bo and No: You see what I mean when I'm talking "musical chairs" on Caspian Babby mode? RU side: B/C/D are important. SCREW A. SCREW A! I dunno what Nostyle was doing at times going up to A but I'm running around (after hoofing it from RU base attempting to get in the chopper) to continue to bleed.
Protip: If you have 2/3 flags (of 3/4) in Babby mode, you win. You only need to hold onto them. Forget the home base of the enemy flag. FORGET IT unless they're idiots and aren't taking the other three/our majority. Ugh.
At least we won but I dunno what the hell people were doing at times on C because I'm the only one going up to C at times.
Also on Caspian C is most important to take. Whoever has C has height advantage on most of the map.
Edit 2: Also I'm disliking the JNG. It sucks as a sniper it sucks as an assault. It's bolt-action screws it on the close-range and the scope sucks for sniping (or I'm terrible with the 7x chevron, either/or) at range. Just a terrible default choice for the gun all around.
I never asked for this: Server clearing edition.
bKak: One thing: I know you love the medic class, but in Rush it would be nice if you changed your class as the situation dictates. No one going for the tank and you noticed it? Switch to engineer, spot and fire it. If you hassle it, it lays off the team and can get other engineers on it.
Also your kit items: I seem to see a lack of healing, maybe you're using the LVG and that's nice and all but there's times when I need healing and it'd be nice if someone on GAF (*cough*) used their heal kit.

Well, if you said something, I'd have switched. The M320 is great for clearing out corridors on Bazaar. Olimpia had a clutch tank theft, we'd have lost if it weren't for him.
Yeah, Olimpia stealing it was nice, but you throwing a pack into that room would've helped as well.
I'm just saying: Keep in mind a kit/class change depending on the squad make-up and situations. You're not a bad player, I'm just saying: It'd be nice if you changed your class now and then and threw a refill box out for those of us alive if you have a moment and die between spawns and the like. *shrug*
Also: I'm not sure if you noticed but I switched my kit to yours (or some fallen medics, forgetting), revived you, switched back and went for the tank all in the span of three seconds: Do some of that. Not while under fire (obviously, I was a bit crazy on that one) but if you can switch to a kit that revives when you aren't and it isn't a hectic situation, do it.

Now that consoles have rented servers, what we need is for the scoreboard to show individual player ping the way it does on PC. At the moment if a server gets laggy, the poor sods with 'foreign' sounding names end up getting kicked for fear that they're connecting from far away countries on really high ping connections and shitting up the server for everyone.
I don't know if having high ping players connect is as big a problem for North American players as it is for some other parts of the world, but if you guys could like/follow/comment this at the EA Get Satisfaction page maybe we can get the DICE guys to add it:

hey we were playing some Rush matches yesterday and man were both teams besides Gaffers useless
if we were attacking we would decimate the map in 5 minutes. On defending they could not get the first set of Mcoms from us.Dreamgazer

nice!
i have a favorite spot on Donya Fortress, it was hilarious getting 8 claymore kills in a game!
Hey team, do something, please.
My team spend an entire match neither getting kills nor capturing flags. My friend and I stuck to trying to capture B and C after seeing our team was being particularly useless in that match. Every time we captured one of the two middle points the other one would be recaptured by the enemy. I really have no idea what our teammates were doing. :/

I know that feel, bro. JM and I got split from GAF and it was a nightmare because they had the tank and LAV and I was just a lowly SOFLAM...

Oh, I wasn't having much hope winning the game anyway.
Just find it sad that I got the MVP pin out of it.
makes me look like a stupid try-hard.
I hate anything above 100% rush. The devs should have added two more mcoms for every 100%. 300% = 6 mcoms. Right now defenders are always the losers in +100% games.
