    Finally got the G18 and only two assignments left. Need 5 DPV kills and 5 wins on SQDM. Not looking forward to SQDM.

    Smoke is unlocked as soon as you get the mortar. Hit 2 and it'll launch. It also has a separate cooldown from the standard HE shells, so use it as much as you can.

    ...Well goddamn, am I ever retarded. All this time I thought I had to reach 'x' number of kills with the HE shells, which I'd long stopped bothering with. Thank you for saving me from my own stupidity.

    Out of interest, anyone else tried this game in 3D? My expectations were tempered because hey, 3D, but even so it was still underwhelming. Your weapon looks neat, but just about everything else is a flattened plane set back from the screen. Guess there's only so much range of depth you can portray, but it seemed lazy after taking a look at Trine 2 and even Skyrim.

    So do I really have to score kills with the underslung grenade launcher to unlock smoke rounds for the mortar? That seems lame.

    Where did you hear this?

    I joined a game of conquest on Oman to see if they were there and but there is a problem. This is the first time I've come across someone who is blatantly hacking. The guy is currently sitting at 162/15 and is shooting people out of tanks and APCs. I thought Dice put something in to stop this kind of stuff?

    He is killing people with a radio beacon now.

    Now its with the soflam.

    Edit: The hacker is kind of funny. Some dude is yelling at him for his address and saying he is going to kill him in real life and the hacker told him to bring it and that he would kill him with a radio beacon in real life.

    Dice included punkbuster to theoretically deal with that sort of stuff, but its use is optional (and script based if I understand correctly. By which I mean, it is not guaranteed to be functional on a server that is flagged as having it enabled). Hang on to his name, then you can look him up in the battlereport afterwards and report him. Shouldn't take them long to deal with it.

    Reddit started cheating after they lost the first couple of "practice matches." From the threads, it sounds like they were kicking people for using alltalk, kicking people for language, and were fucking with the vehicle respawn times. After everyone realized this, the 4chan group started rage quitting.

    In the end, reddit and 4chan showed how immature they are.

    So I got all the DPV kills I needed and I unlocked the jack hammer and quit. Right now it is saying I still need DPV kills to unlock it. Does it set it back if I quit a round before it ends?

    No, but sometimes it takes a bit to update. Also, if the server isn't ranked it may not apply

    edit: if it showed you unlocking, I think you'll be fine to get it. Just need to wait until the battle report from that round pops up

    This gun is the worst shit in this game. I'd rather have a fucking knife as a primary over this shotgun. Its awful, I don't understand why they would put this in as an unlock. I shot a dude point blank in the face three times and I died. I got the hit indicator but he took no damage at all.

    I thought maybe it was just me being bad the first time I used it on the PS3 but now I know its a garbage gun.

    Rest assured knowing that in the patch, all semi-autos are going to have the same damage potential of 9 pellets down from 12.

    So they're buffing the jackhammer by nerfing the rest of the shotguns? That also makes the 870 even more of a superior shotgun then.

    The enemy team wonders "Where the hell are all of them?" as a faint buzzing can be heard in the distance. Flight of the Valkyries plays as 32 MAV drones come tearing over the hillside, hellbent on repainting themselves in red.

    AUG
    LSAT
    ACW-R
    SCAR-L
    L86A1
    SPAS-12
    MTAR-21
    

    Throw in the ones we've seen from other sources, the CZ-75 handgun and CZ-750 bolt-action recon rifle, and there's only one other weapon in the pack.

    BUT WHO CARES THERE'S A SPAS-12 FUCK YEAH
