Foregrip reduces vertical recoil by 33% and horizontal recoil by 50%. Add a suppressor and that reduces the vertical recoil a further 10%.

Seriously. I lost 8 matches in a row or something before I quit. Don't think I'm gonna go back and try to complete it for at least a week.
Same went from 2.35 to 2.22. I guess with 600 games played it doesn't make a huge dent.
Foregrip, supressor and a Kobra.

The bipod is such a janky piece of shit.

600 ticket server, spent the whole round in a Flanker on Oman. Those poor F-35s (and helis and the occasional infantry running along oblivious to their forthcoming meeting with jet bullets =D). Ribbons (49)! DICE really really really needs to implement hovering as a mode you switch into and out of with a button press, available when you're under the speed threshold, or something like that.
I'm pretty sure the F35s worked in a different manner in BF2. Can't remember exactly how though.
Also: 1 100 m+ HS on Firestorm a couple of hours ago. Finally the 1k+!

Got my first MAV roadkill today after trying for 3 entire matches. :lol
I don't know how I did it, but I wish I could pull it off again.

Maybe it's me, but I feel like C4 hardly ever gets used in this game. I pretty much only play Support now and I love getting me some C4 kills. Sneaking around a tank and blowing it up and killing myself in the process is awesome!
did you activate the code in Origin?
Don't think I much like it but I'm certainly learning to deal with it. Much more hiding, much less killing is the net result.Werd. Half the battle is trying to set it up. Once done, its good on LMG's.
Can't for the life of me figure out why you'd want it on an AR or even a sniper. With the Bi-podded sniper you get stability which is achieved by breath holding anyway, and you get less visibility and less mobility.

C4 is sick for defense. I put it in a choke point, wait for idiots to rush in and click it when I catch a glimpse of them.
And tanks. I get at least ONE tank a round. Today I got 2 tanks with C4 in 2 minutes. It was awesome. It was an easy 700-800 points. <3 C4. Every time I switch to Mortar or Claymore, I get an opportunity to nail a tank and I have to switch back. I guess I should start playing infantry only and abusing the fuck out of the mortar.

That's a good thing. C4 is straight up malicious in the right (wrong?) hands.
There's a few of us out there. It's my main reason to use support class because I feel like I have a deadly weapon with a decent option against vehicles if I'm stealthy enough, which is one of my stronger points...lol
It can mean an easy capture or defense of a flag if used correctly and I love putting it on the outside of buildings where guys are holed up in and then dropping the hammer on them as they sit there and wonder what the hell just happened.

Why the fuck are so many people in this game obsessed with lying down and letting the enemy get the MCOMs? It's like 90% of the people that play this game sucked too much at COD so they came into this game so they could suck at it instead. This is why everyone that joins my sessions rage quits after seeing me in no effort bush wookie mode the game after.

Sounds like the Physical Warfare pack. Merry Christmas, I guess.
Back in the BF2 days I played with a bunch of army and marine guys who would run actual tactics and would link up multiple squads to do things like set up MG defense points and hold a certain flag and ONLY that flag(Usually the mosque or the TV station). In a situation like that where you have 8+ people actually talking over Ventrillo, calling out targets and 4 or so support/assault dudes holding a position, that constant stream of fire can work pretty well without needing to dodge around defensively. Nowadays Halo-skills and COD reign supreme, so I'm lucky if I can find even one battle buddy to stick around for more than two or three respawns before they drive off in a jeep somewhere. Totally different styles of play, and I think Battlefield 3 was designed somewhere in an uncomfortable middle ground.
Was a C4 addict in BC2, but in this game (at least pre-Karkand, don't know if it's been fixed) the glitch rate was so spectacular I just stopped trying.
Three sticks on a tank, hit the detonator and...more sticks just come flying out. I'm a fucking Pez dispenser, yippee!

Here's an idea. Don't make me load a Squad Deathmatch game for me to get in and one squad has 48 kills. WTF.
Man, I love hardcore a lot but I'm getting sick and tired of moronic teammates anymore. I just got teamkilled 4 times in a row and the last one was when I was the only guarding the armed MCOMM so they defused it shortly after. Then I get teamkilled 6 more times in the next map and that's when I decided to take a break. The funny thing is not one of them even apologized for their stupidity when most of them were obvious teamkills where they weren't even shooting at an enemy but rather got spooked or just suck. It still hasn't beaten my record of getting teamkilled 7 times in a row. Bad night...lol
In other news, with one swift blow, my latest doctor has delayed my video card plan with a month of physical therapy and then surgery that just so happens to go into January when my deductible gets to kick my ass, all this while still dealing with the other medical and car problems. Funny that it happens when I'm about to finally get a video card locked down again. All I want to do is be able to play longer and turn my heat up again...lol

No one's ever apologized to me, but I haven't apologized to anyone either; just seems to be implied - shit happens. But man, seven times in a row? Jesus.
Yea, it made my blood pressure raise a little more. I get the legit teamkills where it's in the heat of battle, but if I make a really stupid move and teamkill a guy with no enemy in sight, I apologize to him right away to know it wasn't intentional and that's why those punish systems are good and not so good at the same time.
Support is just about the only class i use anymore. C4 being one of the main benefits, along with good guns (and ive always hated LMG's in almost every other game ive ever played), and ammo sacks (support ribbons all day long!).
on certain non-vehicle heavy maps ill switch to claymores, but C4 is just so fun to use. i always feel naked without having C4 on me. you can do some really funny shit with it as well.

i'm guessing the PWP should be up on 360 again now, since it's a week after PS3 got it...

nope c4 is literally half my Support kills. amazing utility. I use it to clear corners when moving on a contested flag (works more than you'd think, lots of derps sitting in corners waiting for you to turn it and get popped). Leave some C4 at a flag and move on to attack another, see the icon start flashing, click >boom> flag defended without even being there.

It's kinda true. But after coming from Red Orchestra 2, the bipod in BF3 seems like a finely tuned machine. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

Last night I was playing on Firestorm, as a Recon with the VAL, and I was pretty much just protecting that lone artillery flag - the one with all the trailers. It was kind of lonely, I was the only person there for a few minutes, waiting for someone to show (usually the base gets a lot of action, since it's the closest one to their spawn). Then I hear the dune buggy starting to approach, and he pulls up about 50 feet from me and starts to cap the flag - but he doesn't get out. I take aim with the VAL, not the most powerful gun, and let loose a little burst. Suddenly the entire jeep erupts in a series of explosions and a number of score bonuses start racking up on my screen. Apparently this jackass was riding around in a jeep strapped with C4.
I had to give my VAL a funny look after that though. It was quite the Indiana Jones moment.

Is it just me or the B2K maps have a lot of odd pop up. Random rocks like 5 feet from me just randomly pop in. Never get this kind of stuff on the vanilla maps.

Demize acknowledged some "desync" issues between server and client, responsible for the egregious "killed behind cover" and "one-shotted" issues that some have been reporting. I had a lot of seemingly OHK deaths the past few days.

I've noticed since the patch and/or expansion I've been getting a lot of video stutters. Most are relatively quick, but some can last over a second. I usually get one every time I respawn back in the map.
Annoying.

Yea game was butter smooth till the last update, did get some of these tiny stutters once in a while

Any button other than ADS. Because one thing's for certain, as finicky as deploying the bipod can be, it will always deploy when you don't want it to - and then the guy shoots you. FFFFFFFFFFFFF
BattleMonkey

I like the auto deploy nature of the bipod, but yea it sometimes will get you killed. I really don't want to have to press a button to use it really, but also hate when it takes away my choice to just shoot without deploying it. Perhaps just have a button press that lets you turn on and off the auto deploy.
BattleMonkey
Member
Thats pretty much what I was trying to say. Give us a button toggle that lets you switch from auto to manual control of bipod
Same problem here.. its been 5 days and still no fix for me.

EA/Dice don't seem to care.
Just have you assign a toggle key to it, like V for fire modes, that way you don't need to go back to options to change it and you can do it on the fly.
