    I was having trouble for about an hour, cause I wanted to make sure my unlocks were saved by EA.

    I couldn't connect for a long time to check my stuff, but was just able to. So...it might be up?

    So basically if what the innernettes is telling me right... no one can connect right now? I can't connect to anything right now. I didnt get to play for a day and half and now I cant play at all.... :(

    This makes me sad.

    I think I'm almost done with the singleplayer. It's awesome but getting kinda stale towards the home stretch. Definitely feels like a Battlefield singleplayer, as in the MP is the main focus with a singleplayer campaign to compliment it.

    They should learn people how to spot in singleplayer. I like how it sucks ass if you just spam it.

    I don't really know anything about it except that the videos look great, the destructible terrain makes me salivate, and all my friends tell me it's excellent

    also that i should be using the spot button whenever possible

    Cooperation is key. This game is 10x more fun even if you just find a random guy who shoots at the same stuff you're shooting at.

    Play it slow & thoughtful. Whilst everyone else is running around like a maniac, pick your attacks carefully. You will be quite safe in your low profile, but lethal when you choose to selectively turn up the aggression.

    never ever hip fire. you may as well just shoot directly into the ground.

    also once you are a class who can help in some way (healing, fixing things etc) make sure you actually do it.

    Don't play recon.

    Alternatively, play recon and use your scope more for spotting than for shooting.

    I've been switching between this and medic and having a ball.

    Engineer, myself. It forces you to really choose your fights extremely carefully. And of course, things going bang are lovely to watch. Quite an engaging class.

    PA people. We need to test something out.

    I've noticed that all tanks have an open hatch on top of them. I haven't noticed if it's like if you don't have a secondary gunner only, but if it isn't... Would it be possible to lob a grenade in there and kill the crew?

    Use mines, damn you all. It's like free tank kills ALL the time! No really, I lay down a 6-pack in separated 3-mine triangles and it's two almost guaranteed vehicle kills.

    I do! when defending that's my first two lives at least, sprinkling little cookies of death all over the place. I wish it didn't take two lives, but assaults NEVER DROP AMMO.

    Sides, he was asking about the engi guns.

    Wait what? Why die twice? I just use the explosives spec to give me double the capacity and I get to place all 6 on the first go.

    Also, I like just setting up a little assault nest for myself, plopping down an ammo box, and just spamming nades over a nearby hill. Tube launched AND hand thrown! :D Box apparently replenishes both.

    I don't kill myself intentionally. I just don't have the explosives spec yet. so the first two lives I have as a defender are dedicated to dumping AT mines.

    I can tell you from experience that it is entirely possible, if your net is not complete ass, causing you to rubberband off the tank as soon as it moves. I may have even posted in here just to say that you can do it, back in the beta. I know I posted it on /v/.

    The one time I tried it, I jumped on top of the enemy tank, I was about to throw the grenade in, but then it fired it's main gun and for some reason that killed me.

    No, somebody else didn't kill me, it specifically said "M1A2 - Satsumomo"

    Also, THAT IS AWESOME MUST DO IT EVERY DAY AT LEAST ONCE.

    Man, haven't you watched Band of Brothers? Getting your arm blown off might actually be healthier than getting it penetrated by smaller calibers. Huge calibers with lots of kinetic energy aren't ideal to kill people with!

    I mean, have you watched the youtube clips of what the AA-12 does? THAT should be your autokill.
