    You guys don't have the patch yet from what I know. The tracer dart flies a lot faster, and has no drop off, so it's really easy to get the choppers and then take em down with the Gustav. It actually is way too easy, and I usually end up doing it 2-3 times on Valparaiso alone when playing Engineer on defense. Isla Inocentes (sic?) is even worse in this aspect.

    Nothing is different on the 360 except the new kits.

    It's not superduperezmodefreekills on good Blackhawk pilots aka I still haven't been tagged more then once post-patch

    I wish I could launch some air support from my Blackhawk, having to rely on shitty players on my minigun makes my epeen shrink.

    Fuck your game balance, this is how I should ride into town

    They've not ported the balance changes to the PS3/360 yet, but I am really looking forward to tracer darts being worth it on the 360. I'm wondering if they will keep it the same as the PC or not though. It would be good to not see everyone use the XM8 and M60. I'm just waiting for a helicopter nerf/some buff to AA/rockets/tracers before I play again. Just frustrating being spawn camped to oblivion by helicopters in some maps.

    This thread makes me glad I play on the 360 with random people. They don't give a shit if I feel like using the lamer weapon choice because I like it. Well, they might, but unless they are in my squad I can't hear them.

    Every so often, if you listen closely you can hear the cries of some 14 year old screaming at you to his TV.

    You know what'd be great? If all of you stopped arguing. You're turning into the official forums (of any game really).

    I have no idea what we'd talk about if we didn't argue.

    Now that I've got magnum unlocked, the Garand feels alright. Quite looking forward to the M14.

    You can't tell the difference between .0whatever seconds? That's silly. (double clicking your mouse is probably about .2 seconds, for a reference)

    I hope the patch for helicopter flares is soooooon.

    I've yet to use the M14 so I dunno, but I'm hoping it at least reloads faster. Also, tracks kills.

    This does seem to be a decided advantage for the M14.

    Its all in your mind. I have seen many a close call inside the dome, down to the last few tickets and matches go either way. I think the issue is mainly that if there is a pretty convincing victory, people on the losing team may quit, to be replaced by people not as familiar to their squad mates, the situation, or just not as good.

    I picked up an assault rifle today, thinking, "Time to use overpowered weapons!" and then got, no shit, 10 kills with one clip and one 40mm.

    Fuckin' Christ.

    Then he spawns and pops a dude in the head from 100 meters with the m14 and all is well again.

    Goomba I saw you do that, though. I watched through my 12x scope as you put a round down range and made the dude's head go boom not 3 seconds after you spawned.

    What a nice surprise on TAG tonight. I got killed by an M60 and CG once each, and only a few times to 40mm nades. Everyone was using a mix of weapons. Good games too.

    Treat her well, and the M14 will reward you with many, many satisfying kills.

    Also, I'm still partial to practicing amateur dentistry on those unwary hill humpers.

    The patch halved my veteran score as well, I think it was incorrectly calculating it before.
