Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Yeah, ive had that exact same problem. "Hey guys, we should probably, you know, defend those mcomm stations huh? Guys? Guys? ........Im so cold and lonely"
I wish I would have found this for the dome server banner... or maybe I can just make a second one.
I have to admit: when I first read this before clicking on the spoiler, I expected to see him actually eating boy scouts.
I tend to plan certain times to play with RL friends because I can't stand the randoms.
so if you guys wanna get added
I'd PM me tonight
It was announced but unlikely.
They no longer support the 360 version and will probably take it offline in a year.
Which is fine.
It was a good game but BC2 really wipes the floor with it.
I can get kills okay with CG, 40mm, and to a certain extent, M60s. I can usually make a helicopter move around without flipping upside-down. But if it weren't for these "OP" weapons, I don't know if I'd get many kills at all (which simply drives me to use above weapons exclusively for self-defense)
I'd like to be able to kill people from more than 6 feet away. Meanwhile I constantly get owned by tiny little blips in the distance with SMGs or some other "mid-range" weapon.
I've tried red dots, 4x scopes, short bursts, quick single shots... Any general tips, guys? I don't give a shit about my k/d ratio, and I don't have any illusions of being able to dominate scoreboards, but I would like to be sure that I am a valuable part of my team for every game.
You all are probably just going to say "experience", right?
Yes.
Experience helps. Weapons didn't really click for me either until a dozen games in, and now I can at least give snipers at almost-long distances some headache, if not kill them.
Are you bursting? It seems like you can only kill people close to you. The burst length depends on the gun type, but you should only be letting out a couple of shots at a time. The only exception would be the medic lmgs which become more accurate the longer you shoot them (they'll get a 'smoother' sound), although i still burst these too.
Also if you're trying to shoot a guy pretty far away, it helps if you mark him. You can use that red triangle to make sure you're actually shooting at the right spot.
A friend of mine who hasn't played since BF Vietnam (and only skirmished with his little brother) had a lot of issues getting used to the weapons. After a day or 2 of playing though he was fine. He found playing recon to help him a lot - apparently only being able to shoot 1 bullet really helps you get the whole aiming thing down.
Drop ammo, revive people, drop health, repair vehicles, lay down mines, set traps with C4, spot, spot, spot and finally, just keep practicing. Lord knows I suck horribly at all other FPS games, but I'm still able to maintain a good score on this despite playing on 400 - 300 ping servers. Burst fire to the torso is the key to quick takedowns.
Do you travel in a squad or by yourself? I typically squad up with a friend or two and we all stick together (assault, medic, engineer). I find I live much, much longer (and so do they!) when moving as a unit VS. solo.
Steam says 86 hours. Though that means total time running the application. That two days and seven hours means I've played at least 55 hours ingame.
The only thing left for me to max out is the engy.
Damning stuff, here.
Rocket launcher, nade launcher, super nail gun?
Being in a squad makes all the difference in this game, yeah. Hell, it doesn't matter if you don't talk, the ability to spawn on each other is important enough to warrant it alone.
Shotguns are an Assault Recon's friend. The SAIGA will become your LORD GOD.
Not quite...
Just hope Zen doesn't see this.
thank you for correcting the others
You do get the Vintorez eventually. It's an AS Val with a scope slapped on.
But the one you have is so classy and full of character
When you hit Q when targeting an enemy (or group of enemies) it throws a red triangle over their head that'll track them as long as someone has LOS on them (I think). It shows through buildings/walls/etc and your team can see it.
The most useful thing you can do in the game. Period.
You also unlock a red dot and 4x scope earlier which you can slap on the type 88 and go to town.

Yep, that sounds pretty awesome. So awesome that every team based FPS from now on should have it.
Take any shooter out there.
Throw a noob in with a bunch of experienced players.
Said noob will experiment with all the weapons until they find one that kills stuff most of the time.
That's why everyone uses CGs, 40mm grenades, and M60s. They work. I'm trying to learn not to rely on them so much and use guns that don't piss everyone off so much, but most people don't bother. It's not intentional griefing or trying to annoy anyone.
Thats cuz you hide on that silly little island and keep making me swim across when I spawn on you.

I played a lot of infantry only on the PC and it was pretty solid. I'm not one to bitch about camping in MW2 because of games like BF2 on the PC. Taking a tank, helicopter, or airplane was the epitomie of camping.
I really want to know if it's like BF2 and if it has customizablew eapons. I watched a few gameplay demos and it looks like BF2 with destructible enviornments... and iron sights on all weapons but the sniper rifles. Speaking of which, are sniper rifles one hit kills now? In BF2 they only did 95/100 damage, so unless you shot someone in the head sniper rifles were 2 hit kills.
This does not apply to other recons btw, esp the ones that like to spawn on top of me while I am hidden halfway across the map spotting people, and then proceed to try to empty their clip as fast as possible, giving away position.
edit: gun customization does not exist like it does in MW2. You basically pick a primary, secondary, gadget (c4, mortars etc), and then a few perk like options such as "4x scope, medkits heal faster".
If you want a silencer on your gun you pick a silenced gun.
The squad system is easy to use, you are prompted to join one when you start a game and you can move around to open ones when spawning.
I *think* the only 1 hit kill body shot sniper rifle is the M95 with magnum ammo, i haven't personally unlocked it yet to try this. The rest require headshots.
