Noshar CQ is also borked in that the RU side has two tanks with and being near C and A, while the US side has a chopper, Amtrac and has to hike all the way from the sub.
Basically, if you have engineers taking care of the tanks, good luck getting that amtrac to the port.
There are some design choices that baffle me, to be honest. Things like those...

Yeah, those can damage the ground vehicles. But you don't really need to worry about those if the team has a few engineers + support for rockets while another engineer keeps you up against the air (once you unlock the heat seekers it becomes a hilarious joke to ping them with the machine guns. "Oh, you got flares? FUCK YOU. Oh you don't have flares? FUCK YOU ANYWAY") along with it being brutal on infantry and can destroy the concrete barriers they hide behind.
I need to finish unlocking all the anti-air unlocks on it before DICE nerfs it. Just gotta get lucky and have a good team + no one going for it. Next unlock is the thermals which I think will completely break the damn thing for the enemy.
Whelp, just two more Assault guns to Service Star, the AK-74 and the M416. Working on the M416 so that I can really use the AK every battle to get into the groove of the gun. I just finished the AN-94 and that one sure took some teething. Aside from my niggles that the burst mode is the starting fire mode, the iron sights suck, it jumps all over the place, and kind of feels really mushy... at least until you get some things for it. It was much much more spot on once I got the foregrip, and once I had the RDS, well, it ran like a killing machine. It's got a solid punch, and I can take out entire groups with proper control. The description really wasn't joking that it takes extra training. The AN-94 is a gun you have to WANT to do well with, and right now, it's my favorite gun right after the SG556.
I had to leave a game, this guy here was cheating beyond belief:

No matter how many flags we captured, he would appear out of thin air behind you, and just start mowing you and everyone down in his path. He'd start shooting at you from behind cover, without even seeing you...you're dead.

I am having fun with the game but there are a lot of problems that make me very frustrated.
1) The rocket spam is getting ridiculous. I didn't even encounter this much spam from the carl gustav in bc2. They need to make rpg virtually worthless against infantry. How is it fair that it can easily takeout infantry and vehicles. This is one of the reasons the engineer class is so overused; it excels in just about every situation.
2) The audio glitches really kill the immersion.
3) Why do I have to spawn all the way back to my deployment just because the person I am about to spawn on is killed?
4) Playing with randoms on rush is pretty rage inducing. I don't know if the majority of the population is mentally retarded or they just don't give a fuck about the objective. I thought the addition of team deathmatch would drive the idiots away but people still camp and ignore the objective. I wish they would get rid of k/d from the scoreboard in rush.
5) Spotting still seems hit or miss. Actually the entire back/select button seems hit or miss.
Sorry for the rant.

I think Im going to take a break from this game, playing with randoms all the time, and the rampant cheating is kind of taking the wind out of the sails for me.
I'll probably get Skyrim, and come back when the expansion hits.
edit: I think you need to click on how many free slots you're looking for. I like having 1 and 6-10 selected.

1) This is a DICE game... if you want serious balancing forget it.
2) Agreed, but this should be patched soon
3) Because the game has no Spawn AI that calculates the most relevant spawnpoint for you and spawning at the home base is almost allways the safest option in such a case
4)Playing with randoms sucks.
5) Spotting is vastly better than it was in BC2. And it even lasts longer.

If you don't want to spawn back at base pick a different spawn location, then switch it to person you want to spawn on, then if he/she dies right before you spawn it should go back to the location you picked previously instead of the base.
Cumbersome, but it is a workaround you can do NOW instead of waiting/praying for DICE to make a change.

One week ago he was Rank 63, now he's 22? So they wiped his stats instead of just banning his cheating ass? Ffs DICE/EA...

Thanks! We recorded some more tonight and there are some good sequences, but it was mostly us steam-rolling the other team, so I don't know how it will turn out.

Any AUSGAF add DreWz_90. Sick of playing with nubs.
Is it possible to destroy the hangar ship AA? I sat a whole round in that thing, spotting and destroying stuff on land from a safe distance. Did I mention spotting? Anyways, seemed to work as a nice support for the team. Not much killing power against infantry, but keep air at bay, and damage armor.

Hardcore?
anyone here playing with a core2duo and a 460gtx or better card? if so what type of framerate are you getting in 64 player matches on maps like caspian?
caspian was unplayable with e8400 and 9800gtx in the beta. just wondering if a new video card will be enough to make it playable at 30+fps without audio/framerate stuttering or if my cpu will hold it back too much.

Finally unlocked the M40 today. <3
so. how the FUCK does one defend against AT mines?
in BC2 i used to roll with Proximity, but that shit does not work in BF3 from what i can tell. so what, am i supposed to stop and look at the ground every 3 feet looking for little bumps in the road?
doesnt a tank driver have enough to deal with without any way to detect AT Mines, or am i missing something?

Thermal vision. Or a good set of eyes/gunner.
A dumb exclusion, I agree. Wish we could still spot them.

Thermal optics. Haven't died from a mine more than maybe once or twice since I unlocked that and I've got the tank service medal so I spend quite some time in tanks. So many anti explosives ribbons... The only time I exit thermal mode is when my CITV bro tells me we are about to shoot down a helicopter and I need to get a better view of the sky.
Also: It's pretty fucking awesome to spend a whole round in thermal optics on Caspian only to go out of it near the end of the round. That map look so different after a half hour of fighting on it.

I don't mind infantry taking splash damage from hits at their feet but getting killed through cover is pretty rage inducing.timmytheman123 said:

I have absolutely no troubles finding 64/48/40/32 player servers with 90% capacity and pings lower than 75ms.

&Divius said:
wait wtf...how did he get so many roadkills with the MAV? I've tried countless times to ram people at full speed or however I can and have never gotten a kill. I do it hardcore and regular and nothing.
Is there some unlock that I need to be using or is he pressing the fire button sprint or what?
I can't count how many times i've seen a lone sniper in the distance with the MAV, to far to actually run to and i'de try to kill him by ramming and it wouldnt work.
anyone have any tips?

Hardcore mode.
Just played a couple of rounds using only the MAV (spotting, not killing) while giving my team help such as: "2 tanks rolling into A from B", "theres mines on the road to D" and "teammate123, multiple hostiles on your left". Not only did people seem to appreciate it, they also listened (at times) when I said stuff like focus on getting C first. This ended up in us winning, me getting a shitload of surveillance ribbons (and my 2nd medal) and leveling to rank 35. Hooah!

Whoever designed Operation Metro conquest needs to have their throat slit. It favors the Russian side so much it isn't even funny.
