So, I got this game during the black friday sale, and I'm only now getting a chance to play it. Why does it seem like there's not that many servers? Is the playerbase much smaller than Battlefield 3 or has the expansion pack already split up the player base or something? Or are my server filters just too specific? It really seems like there be a lot more servers and players.

Also, my Origin ID is Rotten_Red_Rod, if anyone wants to add me.

If it works anything like BF3's Battlelog server display, which it sure seems to, more specific filters will yield better results (unless those specific filters actually are unpopular).

Ah, I see what the problem is, I had to re-sort the server list by player count after I let it load all the way. It was listing a lot of full servers further down the list.

Is there a central repository for goon Origin ID names, or a Mumble server this time? I don't see anything about that in the OP.

The fact that the Confederacy's sole purpose for existing was to perpetuate a profound evil, mostly. Southern apologists have done quite a bit to rehabilitate the CSA's reputation somehow, but trying to use that flag of all things to display southern pride is a pretty despicable thing. It should be seen in the exact same light as the swastika now is.

Well now I feel ultrabad. I had a squad of guys doing nothing but throwing SUAVs and UCAVs from the uncap on Lancang Dam just now. We were just trying to defend C from another squad, and we were getting killed by these things left and right. We were moving around plenty, but there's really not much in the way of cover there.

Yeah, as long as you don't move outside of the resupply radius of an existing ammo box you resupply a new one about 5 seconds or so after the old one dies. If you move too far or put down a new bag the resupply is a couple of minutes.

As someone with near on 1300 UCAV kills, yes it is hilariously useful. Especially against transport helos and LBs, since it has a tendency to either blow out the pilot and his repairmonkeys, or mobility-kill it, sending it into an unrecoverable spiral. :getin:

64-player obliteration is really where it's at. I think I have more bomb carrier kills than anything else-the rage is amazing. Lately been running with a couple goons and together we end up pretty much making GBS threads hot death all over everyone and everything that even comes near the bomb. It's honestly a little upsetting when a UCAV only nets me one kill.

Airburst UCAVs really are a separate game, though. You just sit back, pop on a movie on the second screen, mute all game sound, and rack up the tears. And oh god are there a lot of tears. I actually had a guy today start hacking just to kill me (AR headshots from US carrier to CN spawn).

poo poo is pretty pointless on conquest though, since you don't have those massings of infantry/armor that you can position yourself perfectly to counteract. The two big exceptions are Flood Zone and Zavod-rooftop snipers and helis there are good pickings.

E: also holy poo poo :siren: There's now a share selection for your emblems! :siren: It's under the customize menu and applies per emblem.

Airburst is an ability you get from the I'm Dynamite assignment. Instead of having to ram it into targets, you can just fly over them and boom it-it has a pretty drat huge radius of effect, and lets you take out squads behind cover by simply flying over and booming them in the face. Means you never miss a moving target, basically. You can still get a triple kill and a movement critical on a boat from a good 6 feet over it.
