you can tell when enemy sensors are deployed too, since you hear the beep, but don't see a sensor pulse near you on the map.bean breath said:

Yeah, when I heard a "peep" sound, I run for my life, sometimes getting nearer the sensor instead of running away. :lol
Also, your invisible to the sensor when you don't move at all, but what about no moving and aiming?

So what's widely considered the best map/game mode/weapon combination to get D2.0 kills?
I'm at 9 right now, with the majority coming from White Pass/Conquest/Mortars. And those felt really tough to get. Also, I probably have more D2.0 teamkills than actual D2.0 kills.
I'm LTTP, so I haven't unlocked the extra explosive damage yet, so maybe I'll just stop trying for D2.0 kills until I unlock that ability.

I've gotten the most on Nelson Bay and Port Valdez Rush. I'd roll with a M416 + double nades and sit on an ammo pack shooting walls mcom walls. Get a friend so you have two ammo packs for faster resupply. Reloads faster than the carl. Other maps that have 2.0 potential: Arica Harbor, White Pass, (both Rush and Conquest) and Atacama Desert. C4 can be risky placing it, but still an option.jayb said:So what's widely considered the best map/game mode/weapon combination to get D2.0 kills?

Saw a funny glitch last night. My buddy knifed a guy at the exact moment his victim left the game. The result? He got catapulted striaght up into the top of a tree and couldn't move... even when we blew up the tree
:lol
On the subject of glitches, there are two which still really annoy me. Sometimes I'll get a glitch where all of my ammo counters will say 0/0 (flashing), and I'll still be able to fire and reload etc, but there is like a 2 second delay on any controller input. That one's rare (I've only had it about 3 times now) but very annoying. Thankfully it's solved by dying, which in that state doesn't take long
But then there's the common respawn screen glitch, where if you're messing around on the respawn screen at the moment that somebody revives you, the respawn screens stays up and any controller input just affects the respawn screen loadout rather than your character (and you can't make the screen go away). This one requires death to fix as well.
The annoying wrinkle with the respawn screen glitch though is that you can actually induce it yourself, which (idiot that I am) I often accidentally do. Once you've hit the button to respawn, at the last moment before you do actually respawn if you try to go back and change your loadout you will find yourself spawning with the respawn screen blocking your view (i.e. the same glitch). Am I the only one who has done this? I'll often select to respawn as engineer because a vehicle is raping us, but at the last moment before I respawn I see that the vehicle has been destroyed; at that moment I'll try to go back to change my loadout but end up with the glitch and having to suicide

yeah, that glitch was HILARIOUS, especially after we took down the tree and he stayed in the air!
i had this glitch once where i was (as usual) reload canceling the 870 shotgun and somehow i got 5 shells in, so i kept reloading and i somehow got all 16 shells in the tube! it was great! wish i could replicate it.

On PS3 this game is crashing on me at least once a week. The "Your Team Lost" when really my team won screen is getting pretty old too. Not quite as old as being on a team of no-talent snipers sitting on the other side of the continent the whole match, contributing nothing to the objective.

Are the bolt-action sniper rifles still one-hit kills (body shots) in hardcore mode, or did they change that in one of the patches? I'm trying to get gold stars for all weapons and I'm really not looking forward to the bolt-actions.
On a related note, does anyone have any good setup tips for the SVU?

SVU with ACOG / Magnum bullets is my favorite combination and the gun I have the most kill with.
Pretty good both up close shooting from the hip, goodly at medium distances and still accurate on long shots.
Will try the VSS w/ red dot that someone mention next time though.. seems nice.

according to the damage charts, health in Hardcore is 60 and past 36M the M95 does 55 and the other 3 do 50. so, none of them will 1HK normally, but all of the bolt actions should 1HK with Magnum ammo, except if the enemy is wearing ceramic armor.endlessflood said:

I just passed by 500th kill with it tonight and started using it only a few days ago. It's not so much the gun that can take out three guys bunched together in a single clip but it's the fact that everyone assumes your a noob sniper and doesn't fire on you automatically giving you more time to light them up.
edit: in the hour and 15 minutes since typing this I jumped up another 70 kills with it.

Think I have 6-700 kills with my SVU setup. But that's in 15 hours time with it.
Never tried red dot with it, it's more of a middle distance setup. If I go close up recon I tend to go with a shotty. But will try this VSS w/ RD next time instead. Nice tip!
The only time I choose a real sniper rifle is when I need to do some payback on some irritating far away enemy that keeps picking me out

I've done a complete 180 on my opinion of the m14. I now love it and manage to get as many kills with it per round as I did with a fully auto assualt rifle (this probably speaks more of my lack of skill though).
I first started using it after an extremely frustrating round against a stacked team of 50s. Every 1 on 1 encounter I'd be dead after one of their shot bursts, even if I shot first.
Now with the m14, my aim has gotten a lot better and I'm not panicking and spraying bullets everywhere but the target.
I also like that I can use it with any class and switch on the fly as the play dictates. Lately though, I've been sticking with recon, gotta love those motion mines.

Shotguns have very limited range where the VSS still has sniper range. I've killed multiple people from across the map even with just a red dot.

Find out what the class you pick can do to help your team and do that a bunch. Ammo them up, heal them, repair them and always spot. Remember your K/D ratio means nothing, and it's all about team work.

Shame on you Strike!
So I started playing with the AUG again, and it's a pretty fun gun to use. I think it's one of the better "feeling" guns in the assault class.
