You probably made the foolish mistake of trying to get inside an abandoned vehicle near the Charlie flag on Nosehair Canals Conquest. Don’t do that.

This actually happens in Rush at the same location. Don't get out to fix your Tunguska if you're on the right end of the railway platform (I think that's the precise area) near the second MCOM set. What a bizarre bug.

Encounters with pubbies often play out in the fashion of an episode of Tom and Jerry. You either
A) clobber someone and then they're after you until someone gets clobbered again
or
B) Someone clobbers you and then you sneak up and get them from behind.

Recon/ Mortar encounters play out like the firework shooting scenes.

Mortars, grenades and anything rocket propelled all make great bait. Unless the opposition are dumbasses, which happens a lot. I was making a nuisance of myself with mortars on enemy tanks. Every time I'd get a couple of hits or near misses They'd all act like enraged ants, getting out and swarming around the area looking for the attacker, then getting back in and continuing to drive back and forth like a carnival shooting game.
beyond that I don't really like mortars, but those b2k "missions" have been haunting me. Pretty sure they are solely there to force people to use kit and do things they otherwise wouldn't bother with.

I've found it happens most when the vehicle is around that no-wall shed/warehouse thing with all the boxes around it.

This probably explains why the tank was abandoned in the first place, like a videogame burmuda triangle everyone who enters does not leave.

Ehhh, maybe? Trees, awnings, and other poo poo that doesn't register on your map can get in the way of your mortar. So it does "drop down" onto your target.


I'm betting that there's a "launch ceiling" that you have to be below in order to deploy and fire the mortar, but not a "drop ceiling" that it has to come from. So by being at the bottom of the escalators, they're below the launch ceiling and can deploy/fire. At that point I guess it just assumes you're outside and the drop ceiling shouldn't matter.

This was pretty much the point of the picture when I posted it, sorry for no further detail.

That Agent 00C4 video on youtube gave me a few ideas too. Never thought of using C4 while parachuting to take things out. About the closest I've come to that was dropping a landmine on a tank from a helicopter. TBQH I never expected to actually hit it.

You can totally cheese this in like 1 round of tehran highway.

Step 1> Drive Amtrac to MCOM.
Step 2> Hop out and arm.
Step 3> Hide in Amtrac.
Step 4> Wait til enemy defuses. Kill said enemy.
Step 5> Rinse and repeat.

Not too bright them rush kids.

So I started getting back into this game and didn't feel like spending the time to download the expansion the other night. Playing on a non-DLC server is ridiculously easy.

Also, I think that mortar glitch is BS. I've tried it a few times and never gotten a kill.

The other one is hiding next to / behind an MCOM and defusing it every time it is armed. Works especially well when there is either a cardboard box next to the MCOM to hide in (Go ahead. Make the reference), or a partially destroyed wall behind it. They can be armed / disarmed from behind, and from prone position. Confuses dumb shits. But then I've trundled the EOD over to an MCOM in plain sight of enemies in the same room and armed it. I don't think I have a robo-invisibility perk.

Agreed, on Sein, it's possible to set up so your morts hit a building on the way up, IIRC when I tried to counter mort and I hit the building, I do not get a kill or hit marker on theirs.

That's the easiest place to test it if someone does want to do a study to confirm/deny.

On Canals I managed to jump from one of the train bridges between C and A down onto a moving vodnik (I couldn't stay on top unfortunately), lay C4 and then blow it as it drove away. I felt like a bad rear end until I saw that dude's videos. It's some pretty great stuff. I never seem to be able to sneak up on people the way he does though but that's more due to me being a moving target more than a credit to the kids I'm playing against.

I do love how often you can push someone aiming down sights with a MAV or EOD bot only to have them calmly return to where they were with no concern for their surroundings.

Start collecting your teams vehicles and leave them near that spot on Canals. Wait for enemies to try to steal them, and empty the enemy team for a quick advantage.


Also, DELETED showed me a neat trick for hardcore MAV bowling. If you get locked by a Javelin, simply wait by an enemy, and wait for the Javelin to miss and hit him, resulting in a teamkill for the enemy and a pissed off teamkillee. If you can get a guy to do it a bunch, you can get him kicked, or hell, you could destroy a tank. Also, you can join in on a tank battle by sitting on the enemy tank's CITV. Your team can lock past you but their's can't. So you can break locks, defend MCOMs, kill enemies, explode helicopters, detonate explosives and beacons, and push enemies out of cover, all from the comfort of your spawn.

Speaking of which I got a party invite from a guy, and expecting him to be frothing with rage, I joined. I felt like I stepped into the Twilight Zone. He didn't yell, he simply asked me if I was going to stop, because he didn't want to play in a game with the MAV flying around. He said we had different playstyles, and he wasn't angry or anything he just wanted to know so he could decide whether to leave or not. I wanted to see if he was a goon, so I checked the friends list and it said Mrswirl. What kind of coincidence is that? A good, smart, well-spoke, calm pubbie, with a friend that has a similar name to a goon.

Ahh! Wobbly photos!

My little boy picks up random toys and uses them as equipment while I'm playing. Like the leg off his plastic work table is an RPG, the plastic triangle from one of those bolt together kit things is an SMG, The stand from his old mobile seems to be some kind of shotgun, things with holes like a CD case or the handle on the plastic shovel are sights, and odd shaped things like the holes through the cabin in his wooden train seem to be like a tank cab. Can't say for sure. He's not old enough to tell me. Even he can tell the difference between a game and reality though. Stupid censorship board.

Man, I enjoyed using shotguns in my same quest. Now whenever I play a game of Metro or Seine (or maybe even Bazaar) CQ, I feel a little wrong for not be a shotgunning recon. Of course, all I've got left to star now is sidearms, so maybe I should pick shotguns back up and get more sidearm kills to compliment them...

I just love running around and shotgunning dudes in the butt, what can I say? I think I got like 49 kills with the Saiga alone in a game of Metro (where B was hotly contested and I was able to sneak up the back escalators a bunch). poo poo, I accidentally got the DAO-12 to 125 kills because happened and there was no visual for what I was unlocking so I had no idea I starred the thing on a reeeeally good game of Seine.

I think I really only busted out frag rounds on the M26 MASS (more like the MISS am I right, gently caress console aiming sometimes) on a particular game of Metro where everyone was whoring frag USAS-12s or FAMASes and I couldn't get close (nor could I flank, cause our team had only A... that game sucked). Oh well, that thing's starred too, now I can pick my Fist of God back up. If only that were tracked separately...
