    Is it bad that I had an easier time knife swiping someone to death than using that shotgun you get after the SPAZ in GunGame? Was a riot last night though, had to laugh when Nailbunny caught onto my C4 hugs hiding spots though :P

    The Jackhammer with frags is so catastrophically terrible that I wept every time it came up.

    Any opinions on the new bolt action?

    Its the same dmg as the m98 with more bullets. Whats not to love?
    Wat? They put in another gun that does m98 levels of damage? Neat. Does the bolt cycle faster than the m98?

    This damn game has me in the doghouse with the wife this morning.

    Apparently I was literally shouting and generally making tons of racket till midnight last night because I was having so much damn fun. CQ is both exciting and infuriating at the same time, it's like they made CoD better than CoD.

    Good times on those new maps, loving this exp[ansion. Now I just have to convince my wife to not throw out my 360 along with my ass next time I try to play. :P

    Have you heard the thing?

    Beefier than the Barrett, somehow.

    Honestly they need to give the semi-autos 20 round magazines and more damage. The class as a whole is just pathetic. You need one recon per team with a MAV.

    I find the jackhammer in gungame is one of the easier ones. That 320GL is fucking terrible though. You can't even spike a dude with the grenade so you just have to hope someone is stupid enough to sit on the grenade for like 5 seconds, wait for you to reload, and then sit on the grenade again. Better hope he already had some damage because those 2 grenades probably won't be enough to kill him!

    Well, two maybe depending on the map/the way people are spread out. But yeah, Recon is definitely not a class worth having a ton of. Generally the team with the most Recons loses. :(

    I'm really enjoying the new maps, its a nice change of pace from the larger maps. My favourite thing though has to be playing gun master, catching up to the guy leading (who just happens to be admin) then mysteriously being kicked from the server. I love that feature, It is brilliant...

  • Lt Muffin360Lt Muffin360 Registered User regular
    Sorry about not playing with the 360 dudes last night. Haven't played with my brother in a while and he doesn't have premium. Was going to get back on later but got dragged into Team Fortress 2 with the roommate which is a good time but isn't BF3. I shall return in a glorious hail of gunfire tonight if anyone would like to join me.

    Gungame is a love/hate sort of thing for me. It is all kinds of frustrating when you are stuck on a shitty weapon and can't progress. I did, however come back from last place to win the last couple of gungames I played. My biggest complaint is that there is only one gun list. It needs different guns for different levels.

  • heckelsheckels Registered User regular
    I think recons can be helpful in CQ tugs and a PDW or a shottie...imagine a team of 16 recons with tugs or mavs marking every one on the other team...

  • SatsumomoSatsumomo Rated PG! Registered User regular
    I agree, and it doesn't have to be 100% random, it could just set certain guns for each tier, like tier 3 will always be magnum/rex for example, or just make the first 3 tiers always pistols, etc.

  • Lt. FraggLt. Fragg Registered User regular
    Gungame was same for me - love/hate sums it up well.

    I find I have a helluva lot of fun when the game is tight, but once I realize I'm still stuck on the jackhammer, and a handful of people are running around looking for their knife kill already takes the wind out of my sails.

    I think it's good in moderation - 1 or 2 rounds in a row then I'm ready for something else.

  • DietarySupplementDietarySupplement Still not approved by the FDA Dublin, OHRegistered User regular
    We've tuned down the number of gun master matches in the rotation, so that should help. If you haven't yet, visit the server in your browser and look at the rotation and give me some feedback.

    I don't mind the guns in gun game except for the MK3A1 with frag rounds and the M320. Remove frag rounds and give me a different round for the M320 and gun game gets that much better.

    Gun game is already about luck in that you have to find people and kill them without someone else yoinking the kill. I don't need several shitty guns that require I have MORE luck in order to pass them.

    Heheh, that became my strategy in a game that I fell terribly behind. I would just stay back about ten steps from a team mate. If we encountered an enemy, more often than not, my bullet would deal the final blow. If they shot back, they tended to aim at him, and not me, leaving me with a reloading opponent. If they spawned behind him, they would not notice me trailing behind, and I'd get a free kill with possible saviour points.

    Yay teamwork! ;)

    **Disclaimer - I only play like a backstabbing selfish asshole on random pub servers alone. No friends were harmed in the execution of this strategy.

    Does it actually do more damage if I shoot the ground?

    I mean I am following people and shooting them point blank in the back, I usually get 3-4 shots into their backs before they turn around and just drop me with the starter pistol.

    Gun Master would be better if the gunlist was reversed and the LVG was removed. Everyone would start with powerful weapons and be forced to use weaker ones as they advanced. That way you wouldn't be completely fucked if you joined after the round already started and you'd have to work that much harder to advance the further you get.

    Also conquest domination seems like BC2 Conquest in that holding flags is meaningless. You're better off running as a medic train and killing mans than trying to take flags.

    Seriously. Im a recon at heart. My first service stars came recon before I had even one with the others.

    Now? Why be a recon ever? radar? Who cares- its jet speed close quarters....

    All we ever bring to the table is The occasional completly badass MAV mumble guidance through an encounter for your team mates (which nets us very little to do this point/stat wise), a mobile spawn (made null by spawning on squadmates) and the ability to kill mans (which we are not very efficient at).

    As an assault I spew death easily. I heal. I rez. I smoke when proper to. It doesnt match up.

    How do they fix that and make the recon bring something to the table?

    Make the recon able to trade the spawn beacon for m320 SMOKE, or longer lasting Smoke grenades. its sneaky. It fits the recon. But I dunno. they bring so god damnned little to the table.

    maybe sticky grenades that can kill people/ severely hinder vehicle movement untill repaired (but not necesarrily kill.) This is ontop of having the frags.

    But my beloved recon does not bring good tools to help the others on my squad.

    I imagine they may be in future releases, but as of now, nope. There's no way to change it (and I expect that's because the "scoreboard" that shows who is on which guns is a static image).

    I did! Mainly because no one else could log into battlelog.

    At least with the LVG you only need one kill. Do knife take downs advance you a rank when you aren't on the last level? I assume not, but haven't checked. Slashing has no effect on you or the other person, at least, beside the corpse at the end of the altercation.

  • SatsumomoSatsumomo Rated PG! Registered User regular
    Slashing someone to death will actually take them back 1 step from advancing to the next level.

    I'm convinced that "Gun Master" is actually a DICE scheme to smoke out hackers, because with the exception of a couple of brief periods of blissfully even play, all of the Gun Master rounds I've been in have been dominated by people clearly wallhacking.
