I walked into the kitchen on Grand Bazaar today with a machinegun and killed 5 dudes just kind of spinning in a circle and holding the trigger. Was pretty amazing.

Alternately, grind up to SOFLAM so that if an engie has a Javelin, the two of you can wreak mass vehicle death.

Just make sure you don't want this to A) Work about 50% of the time or B) garner you points because you won't get any for assisting with the SOFLAM.

Yeah XBOX might get points for soflam'd targets taking a javelin in the poop but PS3 definitely does not, at least not every time. The SOFLAM is godawful for the dude doing the flamming.

Also, I have commissioned an LTA-themed art. BFBC2: The Musical will be retired into the annals of glory.

Wow. I like how the ending screen shows you supposedly unlocking a weapon tag on the first service star, but it's actually five stars.

Also I somehow have 109% accuracy with the pump action.

This is because each shotgun pellet is treated as its own "hit" but you only shoot once. Back in BC2 there were people rocking 200-300% accuracy haha.

I see, so it's mostly bad luck on my end that they kill me with a rpg but I'm not killing them with mine, and I shouldn't even be trying to in the first place?

Is the MBT's main cannon the same way, anti-vehicle only? I've been having similar trouble with that. I'm just trying to work some of this out because while I get a lot of points and end up in the top half of players in the match, I still end up barely killing (or even harming, if that number over the guy who killed me is any indication) anyone outside of a vehicle. Though it's also weird going 2 kills, 11 deaths one match and being in the top three for the game.

MBT cannon is more reliable than RPG, but the way the physics engine seems to work makes environmental kills a lot more difficult in BF3. Blast radius is much smaller and it doesn't seem to go "up" or "down" (so like, the guy standing above or below the shot on a hill) as well as it does in some other games. It also doesn't "go through" destructible environment with any sort of reliability.

RPGs are loving terrible, you may as well use a sniper rifle for killin dudes. Also for killin tanks. Because C4 suicide is much more effective.

Also Canister Shot. Canister Shot is the business. You can basically switch back and forth between Can / 120mm and pop off a shot every 1.5-2 seconds.

I have to say, SpecEddie, I dunno if I've met someone so committed to their gimmick in my career playing battlefield. You have MAV'd me so much it's insane.

Also I believe I like gunning in the AH-1Z / HAVOC better than i like flying. I can murder people with autoloader and protect with flares real well.

Franco Spanish posted:

This may not really apply to you, but I try to only turn one way when I'm flying as much as possible and hope my gunner will pick up on that. That way if I only turn right when we're circling a tank/enemy he will keep his gun leading into my turn and stay on the target.

Otherwise if we happen to be in the same squad I'll tell them over the mic which way I'm turning so they can rotate if needed.

The other thing I do is watch their fire out of the gun to see which direction they are shooting and try to turn with that direction depending on whats going on.

All of this goes out the window when I'm dodging AA though.

This right here. I don't necessarily turn clockwise/counterclockwise every time, but I will pick one for every flight usually.

Actually again, I am a Good pilot but Wordy is a Pretty Great pilot and when we team up it is some nastiness. Kinda wanna go do it right now. Too much poo poo to do

I will go for long passes because it's efficient, but tail-whipping the helo around or whatever other maneuvers you can do in tight spaces are awesome and makes you feel like a badass.

I'd turn on the PS3 this afternoon but I started crossfit last night and gently caress, every inch of my arms is a mass of pain.

I assume it means longest headshot with a gameboy/PSP/etc pistol. No idea if it means actual kills or just hits.

At first I didn't believe it, but I checked out some other peoples' stats and it looks like you're right. Maybe I did plunk someone at 420m ADS from prone without a bipod. HOW I did this I couldn't even begin to consider, but good for me!

I reckon I get most of my headshots crane sniping on Operation Giveafuckstorm, so I get the height bonus, but I don't think there's enough people ever on that map to have two of them next to each other.

Actually... it may have been on a goon (Wordy) when he was climbing the crane on Sharqi, from the television station. I only remember because I was like "HOLY CRAP A GOON" and desperately put a round in his direction. With great success.

So, what weapon in BF3 matches the godliness that was the M1 Garand in BC2? It was always funny starting out a match with it and then seeing six other people using it 3/4 of the way through.

None of them. There is no equal to the garand in this game. Yet another egregious oversight.

My favorite part about those shouts is when you thought someone was hiding somewhere, you could just throw a grenade near them and hear "Look out! Grenade!" and go kill them. Or when someone came up behind me and the game diced out and he didn't kill me or missed, and I would hear "come 'ere, you fucker", and turn.

This still works, btw. You can throw a grenade and listen to see if people are in buildings/around corners.

BF3 the voice acting quality is down a bit, unfortunately. I looooved BC2, the yelling was a really good compromise between over-the-top funny and gritty swearing. BF3 has... it's way too ridiculous.

Yuh they seriously nerfed the accuracy on this bitch with some patch or another. I routinely pull a pulp fiction on groups dudes and get my rear end beat, which is why I've switched to the 240B for support now.
