You stupid recon, cal in your artillery. It's the esaiest thing in the world. It's designed so three snipers with artillery can hold that whole place down, but you're retarded. If you call in your mortars on their position, guess what? They cna't line up and spray at the guys crossing.
In the first game, I remember Artillery being really, really, really, really, really finicky. Like if you didn't aim it a certain way, it wouldn't work. I remember in the Harvest map, playing as Defenders, trying to Mortar Strike the attacking tanks and it'd never work, no matter how I aimed at them.
It's assumable that Mortar Strike is just as finicky, if not more so, in the second game.
I've used Mortar Strike a whole lot and only found two finicky things about it.
1) The icon that fills up with white indicating that your Mortar Strike isn't completely accurate and fills up a few seconds before it is actually ready. When you can zoom in with a right click, it's ready.
2) Sometimes the bar doesn't fill up when you're holding left click to fire, but if you keep holding the button down for the normal amount of time, the mortars will still fire.
Once in a while the damn things just break. I've had more than a few times where I used the mortar strike, and was unable to even look through the binoculars anymore. After dying, I still couldn't. When I switched to medic, then back to recon later, the binoculars were still unusable. It only worked again when the map changed.
Speaking of things breaking, if you hit the trigger on the c4 when you climb on to an ATV you will be unable to detonate and hitting the detonate button causes your guy to throw another C4 every time you hit it, indefinetly, no matter if you have any left. or not.
I think I might give this game a break for a while. Playing on US servers is less than ideal and there isn't nearly enough Aus servers to go around.
Of the 2 major server hosts here one cut their servers in half due to load issues by request of DICE and the other still doesn't have theirs up because EA isn't allowing new servers until the Server Browser issues are fixed. So all of the available ones are pretty much full constantly. Although then when you do get in it's 22 v 10 or something retarded.
Apparently the new Medal of Honor game will be utilizing the Frostbite engine for multiplayer but the Unreal engine for singleplayer. I'm not sure how I feel about this, given Bad Company 2.
Well that was the best kill ever. I was playing with a friend and we came out the side of this house while a black hawk was doing a passing run trying to machine gun us. So i opened fire with my M416. Well, i killed the pilot half way through his run, the chopper nose dived into the house in front of me, tore a hole through its roof, flipped over and exploded. I got 3 kills for it and the chopper flew to pieces maybe 2 meters away from me as i stood there watching with my squad mate going "Holy fuck that was awesome".

You know what they say about assumptions.
Get two friends and just try it. OF course you'll need a team cohesive enough to be in position to take advantage of the situation. but srsly, if you have three mortar strikes on different parts of the island, left-middle-right, shit's gunna be devastating. If you ccan't aim it well enough to hit properly, well then, git gud, 'cause artillery spotting is a recon sniper's true role.

Man, slugs are just horribly broken. It's only imaginable the rage from being shot, across the map, only to realize the weapon you got mauled by was a shotgun.

I think the slugs are more than balanced out by the fact that the really dangerous gun to use them with is a 4-shot (or eight, but no magnum perk) pump-action deal and you can only carry 16 shots (you can either get slugs or extra shots, not both). In comparison, the M60 with the magnum perk can still kill people across the map, but it has a 100-round belt, is an automatic weapon, and can kill people in 3-4 hits. Oh, and is ridiculously accurate. The M60 can kill more people with one belt of ammo than the Neostead + slugs can do with the entire ammo supply you're given.
Also, it's always good fun to know you just killed a guy not with a bullet, but with a really damn big bullet.
So I ran into my first blatant hacker tonight. He was on mine team. After first I thought he was really good, considering his 33/3-ish KD ratio. Then someone pointed out he was Assault using 12x scope aimbotting.
He claimed it was a rank 29 unlock, then that it was a limited edition unlock. Then he just laughed and made fun of people and continued to do it and nothing could be done.

Hurrrrgh. Wish there was a way for EA to ban him.
Did you get his name? If his stats are really that ridiculous, EA might look into it.

Server probably had punkbuster off, since a lot of them do right now due to the punkbuster errors lots of people are getting. Then again, how often does punkbuster stop hacks anyway?
Had a nice moment tonight with pubs. We kept getting mowed down around the first Bravo on Port Valdez. We were doing fine, but getting a little low on tickets. I was hunched behind the concrete wall by the shack, healing and doing a death roulette with my squad, when all of a sudden pretty much my whole team pulls up - both tanks drive on either side of me and flank the spot, tearing over the walls, atv's roaring up behind them, and my squad spawns on me. We all pour into Bravo and fucking decimate the other team.
It felt gooood.

My experience with PunkBuster throughout many games is that it kicks legit players more often than it does hackers.

Play Now is so fucking useless it makes me hurt. Every single occasion I've attempted to use that broken ass feature, it has put me in a server that is at minimum 4,500 miles away from me. Japan, Russia, Australia, China, Korea, the EU, you name it. Not once has it put me in a server that's even in the US; no Canada servers, either.
So I hear in the next patch they are making medic heals self only and passive, changing the medic model to rambo, disallowing the ability to be on a squad if playing a medic, giving you unlimited ammo, and removing the fire button (you will just always be firing)
You know, to better emphasize the intent of the M60 in this game
I didn't play medic much at first, and figured people were just bitching about the M60. Then I unlocked it and started killing people from across the map.
Pretty sure that, at one point, it didn't fire bullets anymore. A large hand appeared from the clouds and started flicking enemies away.

Yeah i have run into aim botters a few times now as well. I posted earlier already about a guy hitting me with a 40mm grenade from the complete other side of the map, 3 times in a row.
luckily, there are a billion and one ways to grief your team, down to individual teammates.

My favorite thing in this game has to be intentionally shooting a tracer at a foot soldier, having it plant, and knowing his panic as he runs about with this pulsating, magnetic dart stuck to his crotch.
Then, 15 seconds later, an explosive projectile comes arcing over the battlefield, heading at high velocity directly for his crotch.
How do you get that achievement for knifing members of your team? Do you need to be in hardcore mode or something?
EDIT: Ohhh, it's people on your friends list. That's... difficult.

If your connection gets dropped before the game ends do you lose your progress and points from the match or once you earn points they are earned regardless of if you quit the game early or not? I just leveled, got a bunch of crap in Angry Dome and was one shot away from getting the sniper pin, I even had the shot lined up, when my connection dropped.

If you shoot someone in the face with it, there will be a glowing red spot on their screen till it's gone.
My understanding was your stats were saved whether you play to the end or not.
I might be wrong.

I think it does update continuously to EA's servers, so it should count. I base this on the fact that you could immediately use any equipment you unlock during a round (in contrast to the beta, where you had to wait until the round was over).

Aye, no greater way of saying "Get off the fucking hill, you useless-ass Recon" than a giant, pulsating dart to the dome.

It's difficult to gauge. If you're on the hill and not either A) 20-2, throwing a shitload of motion mines, or C) there aren't little orange triangles everywhere, then you probably deserve a tracer to the eye.
Of course if you do any of those three things, I will gladly toss you an ammo box and be on my merry way.

lol I loved that part in the single player. Loading screen for Heavy Metal, right? Or was it High Value Target?
Didn't notice it in SP, but its on the loading screen for White Pass.

Yeah. It was in the loading screen for Heavy Metal or High Value Target, one of the missions where you're working alongside the Americans.
It's the one thing that has me interested in that game.
A lucky kill i will probably never top.
