Sadly the number of attempted flights doesn't decrease among randoms, they just become of much shorter durationolimpia84 said:

so yeah, to get that M-COM DEFENDER ribbon, you have to kill 4 people in a game WHILE THEY ARE ARMING THE M-COM
not before.
not after.
DURING THE BRIEF ARMING PERIOD
but hey, 1 ribbon down, 49 to go for DAT MEDAL.
trying to take off on your carrier?
no DICE

and sounds like it makes for some stupid moments when people will hesitate to fire until they are sure you have started the arming period :/
Guys, I heard that there might be a little bug that makes getting the emplaced ribbon easier.
Supposedly if you drop mines around, and get in an emplaced weapon, if a vehicle gets destroyed by your mine it counts as an emplaced weapon kill.
The guy claiming this works did it on Caspian Conquest, at the C flag, the one on top of a hill, dropped mines all around then hopped on the rocket launcher and just waited.
I'll try it later, if it works I'll report back.

that's actually what i did to get the ribbon!Noisepurge said:
camped M-COM stations with the M320 GL... waited until they started to arm, them *BLAM*
yeah, that should work. BF3 does the same thing BC2 did where if you get a kill while in a vehicle, it counts as a vehicle kill. could be a grenade you threw then hopped into a vehicle, or C4 you detonated while in one, an RPG from the passenger seat, someone drives over your mines, or just some random gunfire. i guess claymores could work too...JJD said:

I wish you got more points for spotting. I feel I'm the only person doing it.
Maybe it'll get better when all the CoD fans fuck off.
On the 360 btw.

you can only place 2 claymores. when you place a 3rd, the 1st disappears. also, technically, they disappear when you can respawn again, not when you die.jorma said:
Faceless: How the hell are you supposed to know someone is arming the crates? There is no indicator and you basically have to camp somewhat closeby to catch them but I can never catch them as they're arming. :| Only before or after. :|

This may not help in your case but if you're nearby an MCOM you can hear a digital clicky sound that indicates the MCOM is being armed. Not that it matters a whole lot though because when you hear the sound and start running for the MCOM, it's usually fully armed by the time you get there. Best bet seems to just camp and have a clear visual of the MCOM and actually wait for somebody to get there and arm it =/
I also heard that another requirement on top of killing somebody in the process of arming it is having a squad leader give the order to defend that particular MCOM.

I read another after it that seemed like more of a confirmation. He tweeted the one I was talking about 5 hours ago, while that one was yesterday.

Apparently there is a 'copy tweet link' option in my app. Themoreyouknow.jpg.

And it's extremely easy to level up in BF.
ReggieNotMyProblem.jpg that some people can't throw out kits every two minutes and get 5000 round games before bonuses kick in and give them 100000+
Holy shit!!! I can awesomely confirm that the mines trick work for the emplaced weapon ribbon! I got 3 ribbons in a single vehicle kill in this round!!!
I was playing Grand Bazaar, and as soon as the game started I went to Flag A and dropped mines everywhere, went back to base, hopped on the rocket launcher and I'm not kidding 1 minute and a half later my mines destroyed a LAV with 6 guys inside! Bwa-hahahahaha!
3 ribbons in one go! I love this game!
I'm only missing the mcom defender ribbon, and seeing as every Rush experience I've had with randoms were horrible it will take awhile until I get this one...

Battlelog doesn't go that far back, but I played Conquest Grand Bazaar and got 5000 points, bonuses started to come in from ribbons at about ~10,000. Add in a bonus point of like ~400 and it was around 10500 and a level up from like 24 to 25/26.
Reviving people just as their body hits the floor (DERP), healing, switching kits when you run out of ammo and throwing ammo packs out thereby refilling yourself + teammates is so hard guyz.

aaahaha, trying to fly or drive with serious lag has hilarious consequences... the car/plane/chopper just warps around and suddenly is inside a wall :E

I guess people just aren't as good as you. Damn people of varying skills.
I didn't know there was massive bonuses. Hmm.

I've stopped using it... 40mm shotgun was one of my favorite weapons in BC2 but in BF3 it gets me killed every time. Last couple encounters I hit center mass and the guy shrugged it off and killed me. He had 80% health left the most recent (and my last) time.
:/
It's a damn pea shooter.

i dropped everyone i aimed at in 1 shot.Evolved1 said:
flechette in the M26 MASS is also nice, but i often need 2 shots with that one.
senador said:
The point is: Throwing out kit items (something I NEVER SEE) is pretty much free points. You could get a level up per day in theory if you do what your class is intended to do. People don't do that. Hence they bitch about the "slow level up" when it really isn't so slow.
Shit, Olimpia hit max rank in terms of callsign IN A WEEK. It's far from slow in comparison to BC2's levels 25-50 slog and I really don't see the point of double experience. You get some items slightly faster, whoopie?
@Faceless: The problem is camping the crate for me since I dunno if they're arming or not and if they are they'll generally notice me before I can kill them and killing them while they're arming is such a short window.
And the MASS will kill people in 1-shot in close-to-mid range. Otherwise spam it with two shots and they'll die, unless you're lagging. The same as the shotguns that aren't underslug.
I also tried C4 trapping the crates, but either the people see the C4, or I notice them arming too late/crate has been armed just as I hit the button to kill them and I get no damage on them. :|

yes, the MASS will in many cases, but the 320 is just me stacking the odds in my favor.TheSeks said:
anyway, just camp crouched/prone in a corner near the doorway or whatever. basically position yourself so their back will be facing you when they enter. wait until they get to the M-COM, count to 1 and shoot. not all locations are ideal for doing this.

For the M-COM defender ribbon I mostly used C4. Spawn as support, C4 the objective you plan to defend, and then prone/crouch behind cover in a good defensive position where you can deploy your bipod and get a good view of the M-COM through your scope. If necessary, C4 the cover around the M-COM first to give you a better view. Once you see an enemy standing next to the M-COM, blow your C4 immediately. As a backup you can just blast them with the 200 rounds in your LMG. Squad defend orders on that M-COM are not required AFAIK (I'm pretty sure I didn't use them when I got it).
If you're playing on PS3, be aware that when you get your final ribbon the entire game will freeze for a few seconds before a trophy pops up. When I got my final ribbon (the M-COM defender ribbon) I thought that the game had crashed and nearly put my fist through the TV
EDIT: The outdoor M-COMs are obviously the best for this. I got mine on Grand Bazaar at the first A (one kill - I proned in the corner on the outside of the map closest to their spawn), second B (two kills - I crouched at the high ledge looking down towards B on the defender spawn side), and second A (one kill - this one I hid in a garage near the objective and just popped out when I noticed a teammate turn into a skull near the objective).
EDIT 2: I don't know if this is really all that useful but here's where I mean:

I've had 100% success rate with getting ammo from smurf support by flashing them with a flashlight and then shooting at them until they retaliate and shoot me back. Eventually they realize that they need ammo for themselves so they throw down a box and I grab all the ammo from it. What a pain in the ass.

Those are great! Thanks for the tips man, I'll try this later as the mcom defender is my last ribbon too!
