Yeah the current minimap is somewhat disorienting, especially since I'm still somewhat unfamiliar with the maps. I'm particularly disoriented when I spawn on someone but he's in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, so I have no idea what direction I'm really facing in the grand scheme of things. Also pressing M doesn't give me a map of the entire battlefield, it just makes the tiny obscure map into a big obscure map. Also the spawning screen map is a little weird since sometimes something that isn't selected starts blinking and I think I'm going to spawn there, but I'm not.

Laser sight option is indeed hipfiring. It's actually a very noticable reduction in spread on your main gun. It also has a massive red laser that's great for annoying whoever you're shooting at and revealing your position if you don't turn it off when sneaking.

Edit: what K8.0 said. Don't use it in dark places, like Metro or Tehran, if unless you want to be lit the gently caress up.

Wait you can turn on/off the tactical options on your gun? Or do you just mean not equipping it?

fair enough, but I'm observing people taking their tanks (from the MG seat no less) run over mines just leaving a flag to proceed to the next flag.

I mean I get that you won't see mines being placed in the midst of combat, but when advancing on a fortified position... Just glance at the ground for bumps

Indeed! As the Engineer you just blew up, I thank you! Now, I get to respawn and set six more while those mines persist, and since this is no longer BC2 the mines have to be defused by hand with a repair tool or an EOD bot!

Thank you tank pilot! You just made my life much easier! And I really don't care about my death count because I'm a defender on Rush!

AT mines? You can blow them up with tank shots. I've been doing that all day. Bullets remain ineffective though.

So I find Squad Deathmatch to be really really fun. I think the main reason for that is that you aren't competing against one team, you're actually competing against 3 teams. There are 4 squads roaming the map, each squad aiming to accumulate the max kills (I think default it's 50) and it's pretty fun/tense.

Ugh I finally got my melee ribbon. I kept joining deathmatch servers and would win/lose the round with 3 knife kills, unable to get the 4th. For some reason that #3 is so special. Three people will present their backs to me as an offering, but the fourth just wouldn't happen. I had to stop playing and literally just camp a corner with TUGS and my knife out.

If you're not playing Seine Crossing and dropping rubble on people with 40mm HE/60mm AT, you're playing this game wrong. A few goons have mentioned how nobody really utilizes the destruction on that map (if not for aesthetics, than effectiveness!), and it reminded me to do just that when I played next. So far, in three matches, I've crushed seven people with falling debris from a well placed 40mm HE.

My best, most proud moment of genius? Below.





That's pretty well executed. Kudos

Its all about the MAVs. I am dripping in surveillance and motion assist ribbons.

Find a window in Seine rush that cant be accessed and park the MAV there. Suicide and pick a new class so the MAV sticks around.

I'm actually just about to unlock it. Hooray! I'll keep this in mind. The MAV counts as motion assist? I thought it was something you flew around a la EOD bot style and manually spotted things with it.

Comm Rose needs manual spotting. I've had several occasions where I missed spotting some guy because he ducked behind cover, but I know he's still most likely there, and I just wish I could temporarily mark it to have a chance notifying my teammates in the immediate area.
