Yeah. He was pretty good at mans. He was connected to the matrix or something. The guy was taking on our tanks head on and winning with a LAV.

The only fun thing I've found about tow launchers is that on Tehran you can fire the one from the spawn on the hill (forgot it if it's US or RU) down into B. I've never gotten a kill though. I think the most I've gotten is a lucky vehicle disable.

Oh yes, lately every loving time we go "Oh hey, let's quit out and play a different mode or map" and I go back to the main screen to squad up it freezes up for a few seconds with those stupid static effects and I think I'm gonna have to restart my console. So far so good though. I get server disconnects and crashes more than I do actual hard locks but locks still happen occasionally.

I took on two tanks earlier with an LAV TOW launcher and took out both of them. Four kills.

Level 3 is the max setting for microphone volume for the official headset? That's lame.

Also, I'm on some obsessive "Get 500 kills on a weapon then move on" spree instead of actually just sticking to something that works for me. Now that I'm off the KH2002, I'm dicking around with the AS VAL and find that ROF/mag size goes perfectly with my OCD need to reload after every single kill. Hooray.

That thing is actually useful but I mean those lovely stationary missile launchers that take forever to reload and basically scream "Hey shoot this dickhead right here" when you use them. You can steer the missles with the reticule once they're fired but good luck.

BEcAUSE IRAWQ IS THE MODERN DAY VIET .NAM IT IS A QUAGMIRE BU&H LIED OUR BOYS ARE DYING

I never had much luck with the rocket. I use the second set of shells for the LAV. Similar to the MBT combo of Shell + Cluster, it leads to a constant torrent of fire, plus the second set of shells are anti-vehicle, and rip poo poo apart real quick. Long distance Tehran tank sniping becomes so much easier with a hose of never-ending shells.

It's weird how MAV hunting works. There is always "that guy" on the enemy team who I kill multiple times. You were that guy, unfortunately. It is definitely unintentional. I mean, when I spot a goon I go for it, but I didn't mean to hurt you

Because of your constant use of US-Frags and Mav, I'm really tempted to put you in the same category of nuisance as Kashew and start social engineering the new meat to remove you. Get a new loving gimmick. With the amount of time you've spent on mavs and US-Frags, you could have mastered Defibs which would have been a much more praise worthy accomplishment.

There's this weird rear end bug with C4 that, whenever you hit the detonate button, the animation plays and a brick of C4 comes flying from your head, but it doesn't actually detonate. I'm not sure what causes this, but it seems to pop up when I'm C4ing a vehicle and then hopping in it within a short timeframe.

It can be fixed by hitting LT and throwing another brick of C4, but it always seems to pop up on otherwise successful Jihad Jeeping raids.

Serious stats site suggestion: Place a 1-10 in the upper right corner of the stats boxes on the general leaderboards to show which position, if at all, that person is in on the top ten for that stat.


Also, who was that guy that I sent into a frothing rage last night in our party? I think it was LuckiestBoar5 or something like that. All I remember is hopping out of a Humvee, blasting a guy in his back and then stealing his tank and being treated to unintelligible English/Australian rage shortly thereafter.

I dont know about xbox dudes being better then ps3 and dont really give a gently caress to be honest its funny how some people get all bent out of shape about it.

Also I could probaly have a 20/1 kdr if all i did was drive tanks in super try hard mode.

The Greater Goon: Breaking Hearts and Chains since 2006


There should be a stat on the leaderboard that tracks the score differential between consoles for people who play on both consoles. I'd be winner in that both because there's only like 2 people who play on both and also I'm ~*Tha King*~ on PS3 but ~*King Turd*~ on 360

I was relatively calm last night until that Tehran Highway match where I put 5 combined tank shells/guided missiles solidly into him, got hit markers, got blown up... and he was at 100% health with no engineers around.

Then while I was someone said something like "loving Swedes" which then brought this to mind and then I wasn't so mad anymore.

Currently the console war stats consider every active player under the idea that "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link". But if we changed it to reflect only, say, the top 20 scorers per team per category, would that be more or less representative of which crew is "better"?

I don't understand what you mean by this. Could you elaborate? If you sort the leaderboard by stat X then the top ten people are already at the top with the numbers 1-10 next to their names. What would this upper right corner number represent again?
