    The great thing about BF3 is that the majority of the weapons are all very well balanced and you can pick a favorite instead of just using the best guns.

    Of course, there are always going to be guns that outpace the others (the FAMAS, every single support and engineer gun) but that's just standard FPS fare.

    Theyre all well balanced, except over half are much better than the others.

    Or the M98B, which just straight-up outclasses the other bolt-actions.

    Still, I seem to be more a carbine user when I'm not stabbing dudes.

    Logic.

    Ranting about engineers/supports is fun.

    Bought Back to Karkand last night, and was quickly reminded as to how bad I am at this game.

    Battlelog lists my skill as "-2". I don't know how they calculate skill, but that seems about right

    Preeeeetty much. I'll occasionally run around with the L96 just for variety's sake or toss a red dot on the SV98 because...fuck it, why not? The m98b really is da best though. I'd really like it if at some point DICE added some variety to the Recon's guns. There's not much of a reason to use anything besides the m98b for the bolt actions or the m39 for the semi-autos. Maybe once the general semi-auto buff goes into effect the SKS will become something other than a dog turd wrist rocket.

    Ok. c4 is just stupid fun for me as I give no shits about stats. SO im coming for suicide doubles and triples. Im running away from them hoping they follow me.

    I wish I had recorded the "jihad skidloader." Turns out they do not roll when you bail... Had to go down with the ship.
    Best part being i got rezzed after the suicide bombing on that one.

    I suppose the worst part it being by the end of the night my teammates knew to bail on anything with wheels I was driving. "Mojo, Is this a Jihad T90 or a regular one?" was uttered as it needed asking.

    I have not run anything other than PDWs or shottys, due to having no attachments for the support guns. I really don't like them.

    But that was a fun night.

    Same here. There's a certain elation that you experience each time a run is successful. Because you know they have no idea what just happened to their tank.

    Nothing is more satisfying then sneaking up on a tank from behind, laying the c4 and running as fast as you can while hitting the trigger. It's like you're in an action movie every single time.

    I didn't get around to uploading a picture of it, but check out the bonkers hipfire accuracy the UMP + Laser Sight has. That gun is soooo goooooooood.

    So, having a properly supplied javelin supported with a good soflam is hilariously unbeatable.

    Also, my new favorite thing (though it's probably extremely old news to you guys): lock on with jav, then point straight up and fire. the javelin goes up about 15 feet, then takes a 90 degree turn backward for like 15 feet, then pulls a 180 in the opposite direction and heads towards target.

    uh

    wat

    In the scenario where Textron wins that suit, what helos are we gonna wind up with?

    probably the Z1-HA, Y1-HU, and the yerpsO, with mirrored textures and all blades rotate in the opposite direction?

    Man, this weekend I played with* some PA people on 360. Well, actually, I played on the opposite team. It is ROUGH being opposite of you guys. We lost every single game, and barely any were remotely close. Good games though, there was something fun about fighting a constantly losing battle. Wouldnt want to do it every day, but for a few hours it was good times. Eventually I abandoned using assault and switched to support so my gun would have enough bullets for me to have any chance at fending off you guys. As assault, even if I got the drop, Id kill one maybe two and then get gunned down in the realod pretty quick. Still didn't have a chance, but it was fun.

    Oh, I'm well aware since I was doing that back in 1942. I was saying that it's still the most satisfying thing for me. Doesn't get old for me.

    This has to be a mistake, according to your stats you have gun kills but I don't think you know how to use the guns, just the knife.

    In the marketplace for the 360 version under "Upcoming" it simply states "The content of this pack will be announced later"

    I'm hoping that means another map pack. Or maybe even a mini mod like BFV for BC2.

    maybe some kind of armored warfare map pack. Everyone gets a tank! Tanks for everyone!

    I would be totally down with more armor-centric maps. I would like to see the secret weapons expansion of 1942 made into a full blown mod for this game. Jet packs and the game modes where you have to prevent the enemy from destroying parts of a factory...etc...Or a 2142 mod. But than I think 2142 would be better served as its own game.

    By 1492, the "Black Plague" had been wiped out for about 300 years. Smooth-bore Matchlock Muskets were all the rage with the Wheel-lock right around the corner. Most soldiers were still rocking the Pike. The Landsknecht are OP are fuck.

    2 at spawn, 2 at hotel, and 1 at construction.

    Vehicle maps only suck when there is no team work going on and you are not in one yourself. Firestorm is great. If you don't like it, you are playing wrong. If you want to get your infantry combat fix, hang out around the middle with all the cover and buildings. It has areas for every type of combat found in BF3. You can get your air combat fix trolling around the massive borders, infantry by ricking the middle, and vehicle from just about anywhere. Don't tell me there is just as much cover on Firestorm as there is on Caspian.

    If you want some entertaining history, go watch all the Terry Jones (Former member of the Monty Python troop) stuff. A bunch of it is on Netflix, if you subscribe. Most of it is on Youtube too.
