You have SIX MVP 3 medals? It took me for loving ever to get one of those!  I only just got it this week!Though SQDM isn't nearly as painful when you're winning. It was actually kind of fun the last few times I helped people get their five wins.

Oppenheimer posted:How do I roadkill someone with the MAV? Like mentioned it's a bit tricky to get down at first. The first thing that you need to realize is that the camera is actually on the left side of the MAV so you need to adjust yourself accordingly. I have had the best luck lining up the crosshairs to be just a bit off to the left and above the center of their chest, roughly around where their their should and neck would meet. The second thing you need to factor in is the MAV's velocity. For you to be able to road kill you need to have enough horizontal momentum or else you'll just knock them around a bit, which is why just going straight down on top of someone will give you the latter result (though still good if they are hiding on a rooftop and you send them plummeting to their death). For someone laying prone you want adjust you trajectory by aiming for the head/neck keeping your horizontal momentum going as you move downwards. Again it takes some practice to get down but once you do it becomes very satisfying, especially when you start getting hate mail.

So for someone like myself who has BF3 on PC and is fed up with constant crashes (happens to own a NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti which is known for constant BSOD/CTD), I want to play on my 360 instead. My brother has a limited edition copy obviously attached to his account. If I were to buy an online pass for my gamertag, would I still be able to access the expansion content or will I have to buy that too? Basically, do I either fork out MS points for the pass+expansion or see if i can buy a limited edition online somewhere?

If it's one 360, just play on his account if you can. As far as I know, by 360 standards, DLC is playable on the same XBOX so long as it is downloaded, but with EA server verification, who the gently caress knows. Basically, if you can play online without an online pass, try to play a BTK server, if that fails then you need the DLC. Most likely though you need both. /e - Also, go console playerbase. Gold four pages in. Mr. Wookums fucked around with this message at Jan 15, 2012 around 03:56 |

I don't have it yet but I find it funny how when my team sees a MAV they will without fail stop what they are doing and do everything in their power to shoot it down. Hey guys they're rushing alpha and they might have a ta- HOLY poo poo IS THAT A DRONE KILL IT KILL IT!

That's exactly the reason why I love the MAV. A single person with an 870 or a stinger can easily take them out, but after people see one, everyone freaks the gently caress out to kill it. There have been multiple matches for me where my team was loosing on rush, but once a mav goes near them, everyone has so much ADD that they stop covering the M-COM, leading to moving on to the next set.

I don't think EA's server verification touches the DLC stuff. My friend shares his 360 with his roommate when he's dorming, and his roommate redeemed the online pass/B2K code under his own gamertag. (Gamertag#1) My friend, however, is still allowed to play online and play B2K maps on his own gamertag (Gamertag#2) so I guess he just lucked out.

How come stars for equipment don't show up on the goon leaderboard? I have a C4 star and 39 different weapon stars, but my unique star total is still just 39, not 40 with the C4. I don't have any mortar/claymore/frag grenade stars to see if those would count, but let's be honest here C4 stars are pretty darn important.

Well, I finally grinded out the last squad dm win, and the rest of scarred veteran. I can tell you nothing about the L85A2, as I haven't really tried it. But I can tell you that the Jackhammer is basically the USAS JR. With buck and flachette rounds its garbage. The spray radius is tighter but it fires less pellets, almost always requiring 2-3 to kill at any range. The extended mags on the 360 only give you 11 (the PS3 users get 14). The gun truly shines once you unlock the frag rounds. Then you will not notice the slight difference in fire rate and you can basically treat it like a slightly uglier USAS. You will however notice the reload time. My god is it slow. It's as bad as the loving famas. I can count one mississippi,two mississippi, three mississippi, four mississippi before this gun reloads. The gun is fantastic on metro and grand bazaar. If you want to grind out a mastery dog tag nows the time before they nerf frag rounds even further into the ground.

I don't know if it's the same here, but I can tell you that BC2 DLC is accessible across multiple accounts on the same PS3. Different game, different system but... Edit: If you're interested in the L85, it kind of reminds me of the T88 LMG from BC2. Slower fire rate and let's be honest it's not the best option to choose when there's guns like the FAMAS or AEK to compete with, but it just feels right.

weaaddar posted:Jackhammer becomes awesome with frag rounds. Sorry to burst your bubble but any automatic shotgun becomes awesome when you're firing GRENADES everywhere. Also goddamn rush defence on Operation Firestorm is actually kind of fun. Without fail at least half the enemy team will spawn recon and sit on that hill opposite B trying to pro-snipe while being utterly useless. I did bear witness to a fantastic shot from one of the tanks that soared out from the back lot, and smashed right into the recon pile-up and killed about six dudes at once. I was stood opposite B laughing my rear end off when someone less useless killed me. Talking about useless recon, for the 5 laser designations you need to unlock the first Karkand rifle, does that require actual kills while you're locked onto to something with a javelin or guided missile, or can I just piss around in a game, get five locks and call it a day? I'm finding it hell to even get lockons at the moment. Edit VVVV Sweet.

maybe they can make different warheads for RPGs, the russians made all sorts. That could make them more viable to have HEAT, and more frag type warheads.

Are there any penalties for teamkills in normal conquest/rush? I c4ed a building today and got 4 of our own snipers. Wasnt 100% on purpose... i'm just curious.

I think that's what the M203 is for. Edit: I think both of those guns shoot people. Rockets shoot tanks, M203s blow up people. You want to blow up people at range, it's in the game already as the M203. Ape Agitator fucked around with this message at Jan 15, 2012 around 17:10 |

Learned a new cool thing about the frag shotgun rounds, they'll detonate AT mines. Hopefully they'll keep that even if they nerf them. I've never been able to destroy mines with a regular gun.RageBeef posted:He's right about one thing, the dog tag says MAV kills, but shows motion sensor assists.

It should be 4 TKs and a kick. Maybe I bumped it up one or two on normal core. Look at the server information It'll tell you how many TKs until kick.

Nashlogic posted:I thought you couldn't teamkill in regular, like if you c4ed the building wouldn't they have all died due to "Bad Luck"? Nope, saw it earlier, it says Teamkill at the top. I was getting a little angry last night after having a few bad games, but in this game, one good moment really turns your attitude around. My good moment was hitting an A-10 with the regular old tank shell. It was flying away and to the left and I shot randomly at it, and Bam, Vehicle Disabled, and a enemy killed (roadkill). So he didn't see the shell, it nailed him, he jumped out and was struck by his own plane. Also, for those goons who like to snipe, it may be worth playing Squad Deathmatch. For once, you are actually helping your team, and people tend to not expect snipers and the maps are usually fairly open, so sniping is pretty effective. Thanks to Squad Deathmatch, I'm on my way to collecting a dog tag from every goon I can. I'm at 5 or 6 out of 211, so I'm pretty close. Unfortunately I can only look at my most recent, instead of a list of names like in BC2 so I guess I'll have to write them down or something.
