I think the gun club challenges might be a bit bugged because I started this one on the 14th and the challenge is to get 50 headshots. It's been two weeks since then and GC thinks I haven't gotten 50 headshots yet? Wut?
EDIT: Yeah, they're SUPER bugged.
Headshots on PC 0
Lol, fix your shit EA.

How do you get the type 88 LMG? Ive got the Limited edition Xbox version, was it some pre-order bonus or something? Is it going to be available for everyone at some point?
seriously fuck choppers. There is nothing you can do against them. Especially on sharqi and wake.
every time on those maps its the same shit. Stingers are fuckin worthless even in groups. At least in bf 2 you could manually guide the damn things. There are no skilled based AA options.
Thats probably because you carry a posse hoping they won't suck so much if they are around you.
Playing this game without regular squadmates and solo most likely will result in frustration. Seriously, get a squad that plays together a little bit more constantly.
it seems like a lot of your complaints are usually solo oriented. You aren't going to do a goddamn thing solo except die horribly, most of the time.
You are not a one man killing machine. Learn that.
And for choppers-
Soflam/jav/tank with third seat, or just a guided shell along with the soflam. Multiple(2+) stingers. With the stingers you might not actually kill it, but you'll sure as hell make him run or be a lot more defensive in the way he goes after targets.
And the transport helo- while yeah, it can be repaired, its really more of a distraction than anything else compared to its bc2 counterpart. The guns just arent accurate enough.
And sit back and relax. If you're getting this pissed off about a videogame it might be a good idea to take a break from it.

I had some really weird issues earlier today. PunkBuster errors first, then after I manually updated and rebooted my computer/router, it was fixed...for a little bit. Then my 6850's kept giving me a "Driver has failed and recovered" message while I was watching a movie. Then the game client wouldn't even launch. A few reboots later, and I'm back to normal...for now. Sucks that after 60 hours or so things start flipping shit.
Holy shit, we're not online, but the Dome is still cooking. Fuck yeah.
Speaking of which, Imma go play around, anyone still awake should totes jump in.

I see the kill cam is still unskippable, the Frostbite 2 engine is still monstrously inefficient, and sniping still sucks. Here I was hoping all that had been addressed by now.

HORRIBLE GAME BECAUSE OF ONE INCONVENIENCE, A NEW ENGINE, AND A MILDLY DIFFICULT PLAYSTYLE

I'm pretty sure the respawn timer intentionally includes the killcam to avoid rezzing that much quicker. if you'd prefer to stare at your corpse and ponder instead of viewing the direction your killer is heading in, I suppose that's fair enough.
I also enjoy sniping for the simple fact that I'm terrible at it, it has a noticeable learning curve and you know if somebody is consistently popping you they're working for it. what don't you like about it?

The kill cam doesn't affect your spawn timer, it just prevents you from modding your kit as you see suitable and then spawning in a timely manner. Any time spent modding my kit when I could instead be alive and doing man shoots is time not spent helping my team.
And sniping still sucks because it's effectively a half measure. You're only good against stationary targets, and no one in their right mind stands still in this game for very long. Between that, scope sway (which shouldn't even exist while prone), and long-range lens flare, it almost feels like DICE didn't really want snipers in the game, but did so anyways out of some sort of sense of obligation.

I...guess I can't argue with that, but it's a 10 second inconvenience at most and occasionally there's real value in observing what the person who killed you is doing. I could see a toggle option being useful, but I believe I'd still keep the killcam simply because of its unique ability to show me something I wouldn't be privy to otherwise.
sniping is tough, there's no doubt about that, but I know for a fact that plenty of people can HS moving targets because often I'm a moving target and my head gets shot. it sounds callous but it seems like your problems are unique. :?

I think TOG is a tad bit hardcore. Sniping essentially feels harder than anything else you can do in the game on an individual level, but without a greater reward. to go with it.

Lol, fix your shit EA.
Name me one map that is perfectly flat and has no cover.
Name me a map that has a tank that can't be killed by C4.
Now name me the hundreds of times a helicopter has been vastly more useful killing infantry.
Wake Island damn near fits this bill.
EDIT: BF3 Wake Island is a pretty terrible map in general though.
Depends on the flags you own though.
Do not be alarmed by the Meatro, we're just trying to fill the server up.

But having purchased it a couple days ago on the cheap, it didn't come with Back to Karkand

If I'm lucky a teammate will have the soflam out. If not I'm fucked.
The person I normally play with doesn't have the javelin or the soflam unlocked.
What?
Suddenly, animosity!

sir I just unlocked the p90
this snippet doesn't make sense in that light
also if you think mild balance complaints are worthy of deploying the chill pill comments, never check the SC2 thread ever.

Except for internet cred, I guess.
