Follow around team mate- kill steal. Profit.
Or shoot wildly and pray.
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
Well... not quite.... i was off... less damage, more drop off.... suppose its like the other bolts...
Get her to play. It's the only way.
Oh. Pffffffffft. I wish they'd stop adding bolt actions. They're just taking up space at this point.
Well if it helps, I think it looks damn coo....
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.
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.
Yeah, I'm a fucking broken record but that doesn't stop the mode sucking seventeen shades of dick.
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.
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.
Shoot the ground = kill people = profit!
I'm winning ALMOST every Gun master match
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.
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.
Yeah but you're playing against crappy people (pubs). Come play with us, you probably won't finish top 5 with the talent we roll with!
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.
Stop playing on bad servers where there's no blacklist stream.
