    The best possible feeling is, when tickets are down to 2 and 2, you spawn in, resurrect 2 guys, and your team then goes on to win 15 seconds later.

    So, to get the purple heart, is it 4:1 death to kill ratio, or kill to death ratio?

    Should I be dying a lot, or killing a lot?

    I'm not sure why I want it, but I do. I want all of the awards I can get.

    Speaking of which, I cannot for the life of me get the silver medic and explosives badge finished. Anyone have a secret no-fail way to get them?

    Maps with stalemates are best. I'm fairly certain I got mine while playing Camp Gibraltar. For the explosives, it's best to be defending a Titan. Get into the vents, put an RDX at on the wall near the bottom of the shaft, and drop your APMs into the cargo area from the vent. If someone comes into the vent, blow them up. Continue until you're out of APMs. In all honesty, it's more luck than anything.

    Hello all, I've just started playing this online, could you add my name to the roster. My ingame name is Chinbollox. I'm liking this game a lot in some areas (urban fighting, net-bat squad thingy that shows enemies your friends are viewing, awesome futuristic weapons) but hating some absolute retarded decisions on DICE's part (zomg let me run into that enemy squad of 100000 people and throw RDX at my feet because FF is off and rack a hojillion kills). I'm enjoying Titan mode, but it hiccups like a fucktard, once I set foot inside it, it just pauses and stutters its way before eventually smoothing out. DICE needs to optimise that bitch, fo' shizzle.

    I have only a handful of Wheels of hazards. You pretty much just have to find a match with idiots walking around. My method of roadkills: Hovertank. That baby got some nice drifting for the pancaking. Also nothing like whipping her fat ass around to cut someone off at the shins.

    Well I had my fill of the beta patch; the servers were getting really crappy last weekend. Constant crashes and laggy. So being so smart I uninstalled Battlefield ( since I forgot to backup the folder before dl'ing beta patch) and damned if my box with CD key didn't got missing. So it'll probably show up in the next couple of days and I'll be back on.

    Still 14-15 Gold Star Medals away from one of the other medals, and around 600-700 kills needed in Titan Mode for another (8000 kills in Titan Mode + a Problem Solver pin in a round D: ). Getting really close to nothing but Commander achievements and time requirements left (PAC/EU Time/Wins Medals, Time in Armor etc.).

    Probably update my sig after the Titan Gold Star medal.

    You just reminded me of an inspired bit of splattering I did while piloting the transport ship on Minsk. Most people are familiar with the skyscrapers which overlook Silo 4 and the tendency of people to snipe from up top there. Well what do I see while coasting around there but an entire squad right on the edge sniping with Recons and Engineers. What's a guy to do but take the transport in for some ship on corpse action? I ended up making two glorious passes. I mean they're already proned on the edge, making the pancakes even easier. I almost crashed I was laughing so hard.

    No, just knifing people. Which is harder than it should be because the knife hit detection blows.

    Also, in terms of "clan" we don't really have one. Some of us put PA as our clan tag, others don't. Just add the people in the op to your friends list and play with them when they're on.

    Lol, that's fantastic. I had an enemy sit right on top of one of the oil silos at launch site 4(on suez canal), he had been talking trash on the server, which I wasn't really paying attention to. Then I flew the gunship to 4 and let a guy pod off. Looked to the left and what do I see? splat!

    Ok, so whenever I get into a game, after about 5 minutes I get kicked out of the server and there's a box at the server list that just says "Punkbuster".

    It has no other explanation. I even updated my Punkbuster from the main website and the same thing happened.

    Yeah that can happen, make sure both PB services are running (both a and b) and either shut off the firewall or allow an exception just in case. Sometimes PB can be a bitch.

    Got a question for you lot, I'm having trouble deciding between pursuing the baur or voss unlocks, I've already gotten to the lambert carbine to begin with. Voss seems to own everything, even at range, but my mate says it's weak up close requires 6 bullets for a kill, but then the ROF is insane. Secondly, any brits on this thread, and if so, what servers do you lot play on?

    I use the Baur exclusively myself. That has more to do with my personal play style than anything regarding the kill power of the Voss. I like the ammo efficiency of the Baur on single fire and find that rapid clicks in close range doesn't mean that I'm just a sitting duck to Voss users. The Voss has a much faster learning curve than the Baur but it isn't very effect outside of 50m I've found.

    I favourite server is SQUAD PLAY ALL THE WAY. 48 man spuad play enforced Conquest only server. I also play on any of the 64 man Camp Gibralter servers that have a sub 100 ping. Although sometimes they're just total cluster fucks as incomepent team mates and no cohesiveness often makes rounds a total slog of having to do everything yourself.

    I have both the Baur and Voss unlocked, the Baur being the first. I would highly, highly recommend the Voss over the Baur. There are a lot of Baur users but I found, as will you should you use it, that the ammo size on the gun to be a real bitch. Often you will get killed simply because you have to reload after missing only a few shots. You can forget about close range as well, Voss will take down the Baur in most situations, regardless of how good a shot a person is. Some Baur users might dispute this but it's a fact, really. For as long as I've been playing it's always been my experience. Baur makes a nice long range rifle for damage/shot ratio, but to be honest your better off pulling out the Sniper Rifle if your doing that.

    When I first started playing my roommate went Voss and I went Baur. After I had both for a while I can see how each shines in its particular niche. My usual load out for Assault is paddles ( or whatever they are called ) and rockets with my weapon being based on the map. If I'm in Gibraltor its Voss all the way. If I'm on something a lot more open like Suez then its Baur. I hated the clip on the Baur at first but it really makes you learn fire control, also never forget about your sidearm.

    I am not too fond of secondary weapons. My k/d ratio with them (should I be caught out with no amo or with an AT weapon) is disgusting, and chances are if I empty one at you then you will still be standing afterward.

    Well they really are secondary. I can honestly say my pistol/revolver has saved me many a time though if only to get that last bit of damage in when my primary runs dry. Then again Iv also had times where Iv emptied a clip into someone and die wondering why the hell they are still running around. As crappy as they can be they are nowhere near as bad as they were in BF2.

    They usually do go after the P&K servers because they consider it cheating to restrict the ruleset and "stat" pad those weapons. Usually all it entails is changing the server name, but in some cases its an outright ban.

    I am a leader of sniper squads on Tunis Harbour. I can disperse 5 men over an area to give multiple over lapping fields of fire so that when the enemy starts taknig cover from man A then they're in the sights of B&C. Using that crane north of the East Harbour CP as a base of operations as EU was so effective it should be illegal.
