Why they can't just do a stupid horde mode or something like every single other game made today is beyond me.

Sigh single player. The only good thing I'll say about it is that they at least made the effort to make it more like multiplayer by opening up the maps more and cutting down on the number of scripted sequences from 3. At least they didn't hide unlocks in a grindfest of repetitive co-op missions that were so boring, people used an exploit to grind the points faster by failing the final bombing mission on purpose. What I really want to know is why they're afraid to make joke maps like RATS and have you fight in a series of giant-sized rooms and leveloutionize the map by blowing up the toilet, flooding the living room with swampy water and cereal boxes that can collapse and kill people in a mountain of crunchberries, and a rotating fan that blows aircraft off course or sucks them through the back. ...or at least bring back classic maps that aren't Wake Island, please no more Wake Island.

I'm terrible with jets. However I feel like the King of Syria with a massive penis when I get into the A-10 or it's similar counterparts for the other 2 commie bastard nations, and would love to learn how to pilot it properly. I use keyboard and mouse to control it, and by control I mean  Is there a guide, or any divine pilots on the forums who could point out things to learn in piloting the jet? I'm restricted to the cockpit view only because I play only on HC servers. I like to see people actually die when getting shot at instead of absorbing a full mag and carrying on.

I don't have any soundloop crashes, but I do have a situation where I'm driving a vehicle, and the engine noise/ambient noise cuts out. Like I'm firing a gun, rotating a turret, dropping shells in a sound booth.

Note that it's only Conquest on that Altai Range map and not CQ Large. Looks like there might be two more bases on the map that don't have control points on that version. They also said in the video that there appeared to be more bases in the out-of-bounds area on the Obliteration version of Silk Road.

Lazyfire posted:You really can't put the words "Snipers" and "contributing" in the same sentence unless it is "Snipers contributing nothing" or "Snipers contributing kills to the other team." I had a 25 and 3 round the other day on Rogue transmission where I killed four tanks, and 19 other players on the flag I chose to hold down. Recapped the flag after it had been turned several times, and cleared the flag of "Bad Guys" a fair number of times as well. I'll grant you the average hill wookie is useless because they don't move... but when I snipe I'm all over the place. Oh I also killed a few tanks by locking them with my binocs and getting random engies around the map easy shots  The binoculars are great for spotting everyone on the map too. EDIT: My loadout right now is 8x scope/canted iron sights/straight pull which I've found to be pretty powerful in CQB provided I only run into 1-2 dudes at a time.

Tracula posted:I know this is kind of a broad question but what is it that's so appealing to people about sniping and going 50/2 in a round but still losing because in reality they did dickall? Not just Battlefield but really loving any game. How doesn't it get horrendously boring to just sit in back doing nothing? I'd rather shoot mans with automatic weapons, blow up tanks, you know, contribute to the drat team even if my precious K/D isn't positive. Because kills = weapon upgrades Sniping isn't my favorite thing to do, but in order to "level" up my weapons I have to play these god awful roles with each freaking rifle to get each freaking attachment...

If you're sniping and don't drop a tugs everywhere, throw wizard balls at the slightest bit of movement, and/or use the binoculars to help spot dudes/help engineers lock onto vehicles, then you're playing recon wrong. Hill wooking is pretty boring but running around and making Doritos pop up for everyone while occasionally killing someone is the way to go. Just slap an acog with canted irons onto something and run around being a team player. You don't need a powerful scope, you'd be surprised at how many snipers you can counter snipe from 200m away with just an acog. Also funny story, I was running around with my binoculars out instead of a pistol and accidentally ran up on a guy. I proceeded to look at him really hard as he shot me.

People being bad at other classes and just shooting people make the same contribution to the team as a sniper; killing people. People being mediocre with other classes and killing a few people while reviving and resupplying is infinitely more useful. The difference is that dudes who literally never revive/heal/resupply/repair are a strawman based on a very old stereotype and the latter is more common and annoying than herpes. Even if those dudes did exist, at least they retain the option of being useful when they pull their heads out of their asses and learn to play their class properly. Snipers don't. Like I said, if you enjoy sniping then do it and have fun. While doing it though, don't ever even begin to try to pretend that you're making any sort of contribution to the team. It's a self-centered role which does nothing but pad egos, KDRs, and my XM25 and heli stats.

DanrewS posted:God yes they do, that is the best part of playing recon with a sniper rifle. It was even better back in bad company 2 when you could snipe from a bush miles away reliably hitting people and they had zero clue what direction the shot came from. Sneaking a radio beacon into the enemy half of the map on Operation Locker / Obliteration mode is the most amazingly scuzzy thing, especially in hardcore. There should be a ribbon for shooting people in the back, I'd have hundreds.

Can someone explain to me in easier terms what precisely the advantages are of the Compensator/Muzzle brake over the heavy barrel? I know the latter is old hat now that it isn't the BEST ATTACHMENT EVER, but the fact that it actually increases accuracy (albeit with a muzzle rise penalty) still makes me think it's superior to comp/MB. Specifically, since the comp and MB just reduce climb or drift, what is it they do that the player can't do with just smart recoil management? And the penalty to automatic fire (can someone explain exactly what that means?) turns me off of them, too.

I play recon in domination. The Tugs/wizz balls are incredible with a good squad. Good recon's should be spotting so that their team mates are not getting surprised. Doing this, they amplify the effectiveness of their team. Identifying enemies is the recon's ammo/med pack. The points for it are not fantastic though. You should get a 10pt score for just spotting someone to encourage more of it.

Why yes, I would love to plink away at an enemy jet so five seconds of fire on target knocks off only 30 damage.

My whole point is that snipers can be very useful to a team if they know what they're doing and are far more useful than the other classes who don't know how to use their classes.

In return, they both lower the base accuracy of your gun, i.e. how far the bullets will deviate from what you're aiming at (this is most noticeable during long bursts, which is what the 'automatic fire' bit in the battlelog refers to). So yes, if you can manually compensate for the recoil, the heavy barrel is generally the smarter choice. That is unless your gun is already accurate enough to begin with (like many DMRs, for example), then you're probably better off with a silencer or a flash hider.

If your gun has a high rate of bloom reduction (like the SAR-21) you'll see less of a penalty for using the compensator than with other guns.

Ravenfood posted:There's a chart somewhere out there that shows the effective accuracy of the guns with the attachments. Assuming perfect recoil control, the heavy barrel falls behind the compensator after as little as three shots with some weapons because their horizontal recoil is so large (and not directional, so it can't easily be compensated for). Also, the hbar only helps standing ADS accuracy, as far as I can tell. It has no effect of moving ADS accuracy, so if you like shooting on the move, all you're getting with the hbar is increased vertical recoil. If you burst-fire, use guns with low horizontal recoil, tend to fire while still, and can compensate well for vertical recoil, hbar is the better choice. Otherwise, you want a compensator, since the muzzle brake has almost no positive effect. I see. I usually run the AKU-12 in maps with more open spaces and find myself bursting and standing still pretty frequently, so I'll keep the HBAR on that I guess (+ AFG). The compensator sounds good for something like the MTAR in closer fights.
