Double platinum trophy achievement unlocked: Win an Operation Metro Round as the US side and spawn trap the enemy. HOL SHIT. Yeah, I know, it was something like 11 on 11 but it was the same number of players per team so no excuses...LET ME CELEBRATE.

That's less than the 360 count. You played last gen numbers on next gen. That's why it was competitive.

It's even more fun when we win. That was the most lopsided night we've had in weeks. I was 1-5, yet some of those matches had 6-10 of us on one side. We even went to two different servers. We just had some awful random teammates. It's really annoying to notice that seemingly everyone else on the team is a recon back in the hills.

That was an epic win, which we would have lost if the match had lasted 2 seconds longer. And we lost the next one. Very rare to be outplayed like that.

That last match on Zavod was pretty funny when those guys on our team would suddenly rush the flags from their campground in the woods and get slaughtered like lambs.
Despite the losses, I was just happy to play for a while without getting the rubber band experience I have gotten the last couple of weeks. This game can be so bitter sweet.

I was on the other side of that 2 ticket loss :(

Did my best to be annoying as possible considering the GAF folks I ran into.

I dont really like playing against other GAFers too much. But I will say that there isn't a kill more satisfying like when you are on the other team waiting to switch sides and you get some kills on a GAFer or two. I know I have had some of you guys cursing my name haha.

Sorry about the sudden disconnect, adamsappel. Power went out for a second. Then I got fed up with all the lag and called it a night.

Oh that lag. This so called "Player Appreciation Month" has been nothing but nonsense. Did they even mention plans for patches to address these issues?

It doesn't count if that's how we realize you're on the server.

Who's going to set up the platoon tomorrow? Will Oblit GAF/CQ GAF/Rush GAF all have separate platoons?

Lets avoid this turning into a discussion about how useless platoons are. We all know they are, but not one person who will feel the need to make a post about it is going to not join one.

This week sucks and I'm tired hainan and its terrible lag. Think ill try to play with Oblit GAF or do other game modes tonight.
Click to expand...

I'm down with that. The lag is so damn unpredictable. Some times I have no issues and the next night, for no apparent reason, it hits horrible. Weekends with more traffic makes sense, but Wednesday night?

Nice that PC continues to get "optimization" and we are stuck with this crap.

More I think about that move, the more I feel like a god damn dumb ass. Great first impression for all those gaffers I played with the first time.

I had no big issues with rubberbanding until yesterday (PS4). I even got kicked out with that error message yesterday so I decided to call it a night.

So many highlights from last night, but I did enjoy at the end of the night when I could hear but couldn't talk.

*launch UCAV*
*see corpse outside E and it's flashing*
Sharp: "A sniper killed me from the roof of E."
*explosion*
"Nevermind, Zero got him."

I just decided I'd try to unlock the UCAV but apparently there aren't any Air Superiority servers on the PS4. Wut.

edit: actually meant to post this in the OT but this works too I guess lol.

I'm afraid to fly because of the rubberbanding. I ended up with my chopper run into a wall or zipped to a completely different place I wanted. Its not easy to asses where my momentum is heading either when rubberbanded.

May finally switch from the staff combo if this puts a real Impact on that dynamic.

I hopped in to a match of Obliteration on Rouge Transmission early. (PS4) The lag was worse than I have ever experienced and the new map layout is absolutely awful.

I just wanna say that the Gaffers I've been playing with (like Dr. No Prob) have owned bones and the past week of matches I've played with them have been really fun.

I wish I didn't lose the PS4 headset on the very first day though. Lol.

You obviously didn't play last night. We should hang our heads in shame at that performance.

I can't bitch about what we were doing but I'm at a loss to understand why we kept losing.

We just got beat, but with almost half the team being GAFers, that just shouldn't happen. The Zvod game after you left was still a loss, but only by 62 tickets. That being said, I din't feel like it felt that close.

Yeah, that was a rough outing. Shanghai I can understand; if the other team holds an intact C and is intent on having beacons up on the other buildings it can be a pain. We should have LEVOLUTIONED that thing once we saw what was going on. Though that may not have helped, as even on the other maps it just felt like we were outnumbered everywhere we went. Just wasn't our night.

It's like that old saying: sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes...the bears are on the rooftops, where the hell is our chopper!?
