    Anyone have tips on getting demolition kills? I've been going out of my way to blow up buildings I think will have people in them using the grenade launcher, and it usually just results in team kills D:

    I don't know they expect people to get 20 kills doing that... I haven't even got one yet and I'm already rank 13.

    So I downloaded the BF2 demo for the Veterans thing (seems easier than reclaiming my '42 key) Are choppers invincible? Jesus christ they just do not go down. I think the best I did was a bit of smoke. And they blow up my MBT in one salvo? :?

    Glad I have BC2 to play!

    I got kicked from a server for teamkilling 10 people when I destroyed a building. You dumb motherfuckers shouldn't have all been in one building!

    I revived an entire squad, who then got squashed by a building.

    Don't take cover in a building that has one load bearing wall left!

    I like the red beret, it says "shoot below this line".

    The mustache though? Thats straight from "Uncle Bob" who spent the night in your mom's bedroom.

    The thing I like about this game is that even if you're doing a bit poorly in any given match, people generally don't go all "omg u suck go watch gayporn u fag ure useless" like they do in some other games that I play (WoW, LoL).

    FPS crowd is civilized crowd. Well, mostly.

    The pin you get for winning a round is what, 200 points? I can see why people don't get worked up about it.

    On the other hand, I've run into one other guy with a mic so far.

    Three M60 Medics, 12 CG Explosive MK. II Engineers, and an Assault following the engineers around with ammo boxes is the winning team, 80% of the time.

    yeah people don't really care about winning because winning isn't incentivized

    they care about getting points. they care about their level bars. that's the little thing that stimulates your reward mechanisms in your lizard brain.

    i think this kind of RPG mechanic for FPS games has to be treated really carefully or it can't help but produce awkward gameplay situations, like medics who will rez you even if it's a terrible idea for the team and for you, because they get lots of points for it, or people who don't care about winning because winning gives you very little points.

    why do they want points if not to win? logically, points are there to give you better stuff with which to win. but it's not about logic, it's about the "ding" feeling you get when you unlock something.

    Also in game it's called the M2 Carl Gustav AT.

    AT! Right there! Not AP!

    From the in-game description of the Carl Gustav, emphasis added:

    Weapon Details
    Swedish designed 84mm man-portable Recoilless Rifle. Ideal for "bunker busting" and anti-personnel applications, the "Carl G" is less suited against armor where other more modern weapons systems excel. It is also tracer dart ready for increased first hit accuracy.
    From the in-game name of the weapon, emphasis added: M2 Carl Gustav AT

    Son, you're sperging.
    >: (

    I was saying that the name is wrong. And stupid. Ugh, nobody understands me. :(


    Also I like playing recon on assault because I get mortars and sensor balls. I'd use the G3 or M14 but I'd rather use a decent close range weapon, so instead I use bolt action sniper rifles (haha get it because the G3 and M14 blow geese.)

    So, I'm confused here about the shotgun slugs. From what I can tell, I've ranked up to the point to unlock them. On my weapons/gadgets page, it no longer says 'unlocks at rank:' it just says 'damage, range, rate of fire' and all of them are blank bars. But whenever I actually go into a round, it doesn't show up with a shotgun equipped. Spec 1 has all my normal unlocks, and spec 2 is just the extended magazine for shotguns.

    Yeah, the game says slugs unlock at 11 or so, but you really have to hit 15 or 16 (I think).

    Dear PA guys on the West Coast server,

    If the teams are already unbalanced, don't exaggerate or ignore the problem.

    The only servers I've found that don't teamstack are the ones with an active moderator presence, kicking team switchers and shuffling the ranks now and then.
