Grach fo days!questionmark said:
Indeed, this is supported by my statistics and experience as well. It's my #2 highest scoring weapon, right above the prepatch M60. Upwards of 90,000 rounds through each while maintaining a consistent 11% accuracy edge with the Grach.
I hope they do a better job balancing the pistols in BF3 honestly, we would be lucky if they were all half as much fun to use.

The Grach is definitively my favorite pistol.
As for spotting, I always spot before sniping someone. If I miss the headshot, I can either get them the second time or someone will follow up and I'll get an assist. Also, playing recon without a bolt-action is no fun to me.

No, I am doing it right, because MA is in the game, whether you like it or not. I will kill an equally skilled player using a person using VSS/SVU face to face most of the time, because they are dependant on me missing.

The rate of fire increase is much more significant than the power of the sidearm (M93R not withstanding for obvious reasons). Add in the superior iron sights and there is really only one choice, the Grach.
Well those choppers on Isla certainly were dropping like flies.

Not sure how many I got but it had to be 7 or 8. Just about any trace attempt worked, no matter how far of the target or how it's trajectory was laid out.

I figured that when I saw the scoreboard at the end of that game, haha. Me and Rock were upfront having fun with the recons

Psshhh, real manly men like me take out those choppers using the AT4 even with the missing smoke/explosion effects.

Speeds helpful against multiple people, though. Mobility in general is better than power.
Besides, I agree with the argument that the MP-443 has the best pistol sights in the game. But then again most of the pistol sights are better than the M9 pistol sights in CoD4.

I really enjoy using all of the pistols with the exception of the post-nerf M1911; they each have their niche and work well within it, even if the M93R seems to have a narrower window of usefulness than the others. If memory serves the Rex does the highest damage per second when taking bullet damage and rate of fire into account, so I suppose that might be the best pistol in the hands of someone who can handle the sights/recoil OK. If I had to pick a personal favourite it would probably be the M9 though.
endlessflood said:
The Rex is terrible for a side-arm that is a "general purpose" weapon. Unless you're seeing yourself in close-quarters in general, but even then BF's maps aren't built for door-to-door room-to-room battle/indoor combat in general for the Rex to be truly useful. It's a terrible "sniping" pistol, which all the other guns (even the M93R) is able to do better.
That said, before my PS3 kicked the bucket I was using it as the replacement for my MP-443 Grach due to the fact I platinumed the MP-443 and wanted to try to adjust to the Rex's recoil. In general, the power worked. But the lack of mobility and "if you miss your shot/range of OHK-ability, you're fucked" was a bit too much for me to handle.
I can see why people enjoy the M9 or the M91A11, but I find them to not have the "well shit! *FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE*" multi-person ability that the MP-443 allows in terms of quick trigger finger, steady aim (due to low recoil) and fast mobility to switch targets if two are coming at you and you have the pistol out already.

I can hit things at all distances better with the Rex than the M93R.TheSeks said:
Schmattakopf said:
M93R is meant normally for a backup when the primary is out. The sniping ability for it is to get people/snipers to move out of an area/hassle them to move.
Rex has stopping power, but the recoil and slow firing speed doesn't allow it to have that ability and in general in long-range battles you'll lose. Even in mid-range battles you'll probably lose because the Rex truly shines when it's in it's "OHK area." But that OHK area is EXTREMELY too close for my comfort and the Magnum Ammo buff doesn't help too much other than to give you that OHK range + lower the bullets of other kills by one.

Why the hell does this game always get stuck, when you have way more points than in those other rounds?

Yeah, I saw that.
At first I was able to spot a couple of recons here and there but when you guys went up there, barely any sniper dared to make it up the hill anymore.
Saw a panicking one just jump of the cliff and splatter into the rocks below.
That's so true.Patrick Bateman said:

Can you unlock anything else except for the M1 Garand with that veteran program? It tells me that I'm on level 4.

So fucking tired of shooting through people... I really hope FB2.0 is alot better at hit detection than FB1.5.
Any PC gaffers experience and solve the hard lock/freeze issue on BC2?
I'm trying to help a buddy out and he's getting really frustrated. I've found about a million different workarounds/"fixes" but the results seem very inconsistent.
I've fixed numerous PB errors, driver and system related errors, but this one is a bit baffling. Basically, he can play for a matter of seconds or even minutes, then the game completely freezes his PC. It's not a crash to desktop, but a complete freeze where he has to manually power his machine off.
PC GAF is usually pretty savvy, so I didn't know if one of you fellas ran into this before.

yeah, sony needs to do something about their shoddy hardware and industry trailing warranty length.TheSeks said:
eternaLightness said:
Will do! I was just playing some games with minhtfresh, he's the only one consistently around. God damn I can't play with randoms anymore, our team just wouldn't push foward...I think we armed 6 of the 8 crates in the whole game...I still don't understand how we managed to won...
Normally I'd say you fellow PS3 guys would be more than welcome to add me on PSN since I play quite a few times a week, but I'm staying at a hotel for a few weeks and I only have my friend's PS3 with us till then.
Also, I found this extremely hilarious last night for some reason,
Some bushmonster was sniping us as we were trying to arm B on Arica Harbor so I snuck all the way around to flank the guy from behind. I think he had a headset on or something since as I started walking towards him and he slowly turned around only to see me unload a barrage of UMP bullets in his face. Then got this:
:lol

Hahaha and there were like 6 50's on the other team too. That was such a weird game. Had a great moment in it where some dude was running after me trying to get my dog tag. Some dude spots him, I turn around, the other guy jumps off the little mound, and I get a midair knife kill
.olimpia hopped on after you left, btw. Most of PS3GAF seems to be EuroGAF as well, so that's probably why no one's on at this time.
CatPee said:
Most of US GAF is either down for the count (Me/Faceless' PS3 down), or on vacation/break/other stuff. So I can see why JJD, a South American(?) has issues finding games with GAF right now.
It's too bad I still can't find actual work to get my PS3 up and I'm very pissed with Sony AND Microsoft's hardware this generation to where I am not ready to jump on the horse again with someone else' money. Hence, my moving my PS3 pre-order of BF3 to PC.
TheSeks said:
Yeah, I'm brazilian. Later I tried to join a game with Blue (don't know his GAF name), but it was full. Played some rounds with a decent team of randoms.
I want to build a gaming PC too. I tried to get Dolphin running on a Mac and it sucks. The thing is...I think I'll never get used to mouse & keyboard combo...I know it's much more precise, but I've been playing with a gamepad for nearly 17 years. Some time ago I bought a joystick to play SFIV and it was a waste of money. I can't adapt to the damn thing, and I have doubts if I'll adapt to a K&M too.
I haven't played much multiplayer, but the campaign, while somewhat short, was very entertaining. I loved the subtle remarks towards Call of Duty regarding snowmobiles and heartbeat monitors.
I just wish more people would play Vietnam. That was probably my favourite of all the Battlefield games and I was so excited to see it make a return, even if it was only with three maps.

You would definitely be able to adapt to m/kb, but it could take a long time. It took me 2-3 years to become good at cs, and now I feel like I can play any fps and immediately be better than 95% of the people that play it, maybe excluding twitch shooters like Quake and UT. It is extremely rare I meet someone in BC2 that I feel are better than me, or even equal to me. That may of course be my inflated ego
, but I suspect that many good players only play rush/hc/with a closed group of players. While superior in every way concievable in my opinion, cq is kind of casual compared to rush.But can you not play BC2 on PC with a gamepad? I hate it when developers/publishers don't add features like that when it is possible on PC. Feels like they never utilize the potential that PC gaming has (I blame consoles :>).
AusQB said:
While I approve of jibes direct at COD, I couldn't stand the singleplayer at all. Incredibly boring. If it had been great, it would have bothered me less that they are are wasting resources adding singleplayer to BF3 which should have been a pure multiplayer game, but it was awful and I am pissed off.
AusQB said:
Never played BF:V, but I was really excited for BC2:V as it was more BC2. It was among the greatest disappointments ever. Half-assed effort and a major step back. Gave it a week, never touching it again unless I platinum everything but boats.
CatPee said:
Yeah, the best time to play with Gaffers right now on PS3 is mid-late afternoon (I'm on the east coast in the US)
JJD said:
You can try practicing with the Battlefield Play4Free game, pretty sure it's Mac compatible.
I was in a similar situation but coming from PC to console. I grew up playing FPS games on PC until a couple of years ago when I started playing them on console because of real life friends.
It's definitely frustrating at first but if you stick with it you'll get comfortable with it eventually.
