if you put mines on a helipad, sometimes they'll blow up when the chopper takes off. it's not 100% reliable though.vixlar said:
Playing for the past week after taking a 2.5 month break I am pumped up for Vietnam. Still there are somethings that piss me off in the game.
- Gustav
Weapon takes no skill to utilize efficiently. Just frustrating to play against when you know you are better then the enemy player.
- Quality of the Average player
I would of thought the skill level of players would go up in the game overtime but still there are so many new/inexperienced/crappy players in the game. Allows for some easy kills for myself but frustration as well. People dont understand in conquest you have to capture the points, the same basic problem occurs in Rush. When you do have players who understand you have to capture the flag the next issue is players rushing to the next flag. When you have 2 of the 3 flags there is no reason to attack. You should be defending you 2 bases as you have the ticket bleed advantage. Conquest is all about (useful) map control, not enough players understand that facet of gameplay.
- Useless Snipers
Really fits into the quality of the average player but deserves its own section. Seems as if on the worst of teams players go recon and stay back and snipe. I have no problem with snipers as I play one almost exclusively (GOL, C4, 12x, Magnum Ammo). Issue is they are not contributing to the team. A sniper may rack up a number of kills but they are not providing support for the infantry attacking. They are killing enemies extraneous to the location of the main push. There is such a huge difference between lone wolf sniping and sniper support for your squad. Its not just about the head shot, a body shot will do 50 damage allowing you team to take down the enemy quicker or causing them to take cover allowing your squad to gain further map control.
Anyways. The game is still a lot of fun. So much better when you are playing with 3-4 friends as you are able to kind of ignore the deficiencies of your team since you have your squad to back you up.

Just spotted that 50% off deal on Onslaught mode. With Costume Quest it'd push me over the edge for the bonus points thing.. Is it worth it?

happens in every game with point control, flag capture, king of the hill, etc. in a pub the only thing you can do is tell everyone incoming/what to anticipate/where help is needed. giving direct orders isn't helpful but saying something sarcastic can sometimes make teams wake up. a lot of players are mindlessly falling into a pattern. some will never stop running around randomly looking for kills but others are capable of following good suggestions

Lately when I'm playing solo and my entire team is wookies... for fun I stick a tracer dart on their head. Even then they still just sit there doing whatever it is they do.
Is it just me or perhaps I missed some patch notes but it seems that the stationary heavy MGs don't protect you from bullets as much as they used too... anyone else notice that?

You can shoot their feet. I do if I can if I'm playing Wookie stereotype mode.

It's too bad DICE is catering to these types of players (mostly in Rush) because there isn't a penalty for hanging back when two guys and a UAV can take the objective anfter you bleed 60+ of their tickets.
The most annoying thing for me about recons is that they kill me in the most illogical places. I don't have an issue with "campers" but I do get annoyed when some douche kills me nine miles away from any objective... when their actions don't make sense because they have no bearing on the point of the game. They are just being cheesy and getting kills instead of playing the game. I look at the scoreboard and they're in the basement, but I just lost my combat excellence pin because I wasn't expecting some fuck to be sitting under a tree in the middle of nowhere for no good reason.
I breath fire when that shit happens... I'm like what are you doing you're crate is armed why are you all the way out here!
I sent a guy a message the other day after we destroyed his team... Subject: "Hahaha" text: "Nice game worthless recon fuck, way to contribute"
He messaged me back... "Thanks u to."
Where do these people come from.

Take that Roice bastard. We actually won on White pass after losing the first base. We were relentless on them. The last moment was pretty awesome. Majority of our team pushes forward to their base to wipe out 6 of the remaining lives.

I was wondering why most of the buildings were down as I ran around in their spawn :lolabuC said:

yeah, i destroyed most of the buildings between our bases after they got B on the 2nd base. then took out the forest on the left and killed some people. the best part for me was when 4 assaults sitting behind the hill in the left lobbing grenades at A, 3 with the knife and the 4th i shot because he turned around.abuC said:

Mortars in this game are retarded... trying to defend on Isla... it's bad enough you have to deal with C4 cheese and an entire team of recons who will not leave their base... but the way that mortar strikes shake the screen and alter your aim is unacceptable.
I mean you can see these little cunts but you can't return fire because their entire team is punishing you with constant mortar barrages. So you see the asshole but you have to wait until you can fucking aim meanwhile the prick snipes you. Bullshit.
The kill zone with mortars is perfectly acceptable and so is the cool down, but the entire island shakes and you can't fucking aim even if you're 50 ft away.
DICE you guys can suck so much ass I can't believe how many bad gameplay decisions you make. But no prone herp derp, don't want to encourage campers!
I just finished a game where there was literally nothing left on the island because all they did was mortar and C4 us. Not one person was playing anything but recon (why should they) and then with 5 tickets left they UAV'd bravo.
I just don't have the patience for this kind of shit.

Do people still play Onslaught mode? I might pick up that DLC since its on sale.

I really hate the mortar shaking as well. It's so stupid.
I don't know if some of you know this, but it seems that although the shaking "appears" to affect your aiming, it really doesn't. It's purely cosmetic from what I've experienced.
Countless times I've been aiming down the sight, with a red dot sight for example, and I had a shot perfectly lined up with the red dot right on some guy's chest.
I'm about to fire, and a mortar strike starts shaking my screen in it's craptastic ways. However, I'm far enough away I'm not taking damage. The guy hasn't moved, and I haven't moved. The gun on my screen is all over the freaking place (way off target), but I fire in short bursts just like I always do, and sure enough...every shot hits and the dude is dead as if nothing was different - even though the entire time I was firing, my gun wasn't even remotely aiming at him. I was 100% accurate, yet the gun was 100% off target. That's why I think it's just cosmetic and to piss us off.

I haven't played the game online in ages due to illness,but is it me or have they nerfed Medics big time?
Whilst I found Medics to be fun to play as, I do admit they were to overpowered. The majority of them wouldn't bother doing what they were designed for and just run around getting kills.
And whilst nerfing them means that they should focus more on the role of a support class, it feels like they have been nerfed too much. Though as I said it has been ages since I last played so it could just be me. And by no means is this post meant to be a rant or cry over being nerfed. I am all for them forcing the medic to play the role of one instead of going all out Rambo style.
I was playing the other night trying to defend a base and in between reviving and dropping med kits, I was also trying to defend the base. I know I am shit at the game, but I could barely kill anyone up close, even with headshots (using the heavy machine gun).
I don't mind running around healing and reviving but it would be nice to be able to actually kill someone if I have too, especially if I get the.drop on them
Also it is nice to see that people still dont bother spotting the enemy >.>

Medics are even more powerful with the MG3. I still call them Rambo Medics. Medics that follow the stereotype are hilarious though.

I must get the MG3. I can finally go back to playing Rambo style use it for support and not die as I run to revive someone and get killed by a guy with a pistol because he can put me down faster then me with my crappy heavy machine gun

so who plays on 360 other than Relaxed Muscle? and Relaxed, how about that chopper theft on Atacama Rush? that other team played so cowardly, just hiding in their base the whole game.
yeah, the shaking actually doesn't affect your aim, if you have someone in your sights before the shaking starts, shoot and you will hit them.UFRA said:
medics weren't nerfed! the guns are more accurate than before. the M60 damage was lowered, but that's about it...Samurai Penguin said:I haven't played the game online in ages due to illness,but is it me or have they nerfed Medics big time?

I wouldn't take Demize word for anything. To him UAV C4 is a legitimate tactic.

but if i don't come here and complain directly after such a frustrating game i might actually stop playing...
though i can see how it'd get annoying to read my whining :lol i'll try to be more positive.
hey dice you guys are awesome at like 90% of your gameplay decisions.
recklessmind said:
I'm not saying you can't complain. But it's like "DICE this is broken, DICE sucks. DICE DICE DICE DICE DICE DICE..." and it's like "we know. It isn't going to change. Bitching isn't doing anything productive."
Go play Call of Duty or something for a week and come back. You'll feel refreshed and not annoyed, I promise.
Well, we had a good night for the most part other than the last defense match we played on Arica Harbor...
What a crap team we had. At one point, I recall seeing at least 4 snipers all sitting on the same building...meanwhile, M-COM's were being armed and it felt like only a couple people including myself were trying to disarm them.
The other team was really cheesy too. Their whole team of 12 had a minimum of 1500 points at the end. The top guy had 5600.
