You unlock a tag at service star 1 and 5. The one at 1 is a normal tag and the one at 5 is an advanced tag.

How do I roadkill someone with the MAV?

It takes a little bit of practice to get down it took me forever to get it right, I'm still not like good at doing it or anything...

We were playing tehran. 4 teammates were sniping from the top of US spawn, so i thought it'd be clever to c4 the building they were sitting on taking away their 'cover' - forcing them to advance. It collapsed the building, I guess they got squashed and I got a teamkill credit x4.

I got my first hatemail for that one, i guess its partially deserved.

This is why you play hardcore, because you can knife those fuckers.

Nope, doesn't work in the AMTRAK.

And honestly, even though I'd like it to turn faster... that thing would be seriously over-powered if you could get on target faster. Really your only chances of taking it out are out maneuvering the gunner or sneaking up behind them. But I'm pretty sure perks like Proximity Scan transfer over to the AMTRAK. So good luck being sneaky...

I don't think any perks apply to the Amtrack but I might be wrong. I tend to go Amtrackin with Saint's Crow a lot and I don't think my proximity scan shows up in it. The Amtrack actually has its own category on the vehicles experience charts but it has no unlocks, so I don't see why it would unless it was glitched which... is always possible.

Are the pubbies similar to BC2 every battlefield where everyone HAS to use Recon and snipe all day e'rry day?

Also, is counter sniping with slugs for the shotguns still viable? I loved doing that in BC and BC2.

No slugs suck. Frag rounds are the new slugs.

Yeah you can still use grenades to scout. I just wish you could refill grenades from ammo boxes (you can't can you? I swear I've tried a bazillion times and they never come back).

It's like a bunch of 9 year olds who just learned a bad word.

"I'm getting my poo poo pushed in over here!" bothers me the most for some reason.

Last night I looked right at a dune buggy and said something like 'GIVE. ME. A. loving. RIDE.' which was kind of funny because people always drive off on those things without gunners.

Snipers who sit in a single spot, be it on some rock or near spawn or on a MAV elevated location are rarely valuable to their team.

Mortar guys who mortar from spawn are my new least favorite guys.

Do mortars suck? I loved being the artillery guy in Desert Combat, sitting back and getting some sweet rear end arty kills from my buddies calling stuff in.

I was looking forward to those.

They can be useful sometimes, they actually can get some kills on hardcore. Plenty of people just blindly lob them from spawn because they can't easily be killed by the other team.

Hardcore is great because shotguns can get kills, rockets get more kills, and bolt action rifles can get kills without being boring snipefests. The fact that you can shoot mortar guys who sit in spawn and lob blindly in the face is just an added bonus.

I just didn't have any luck with them other than the first one, in regular, they seem completely neutered compared to BC2. Obviously the USAS is an exception

Okay how in the hell am in the running for kit leader for classes I barely play?

I never play recon. I only played it recently in TDM just to unlock stuff for pdws. I've only used the sks and only to get the kills to unlock that sniper rifle.

Support and medic? WTF. I never use these classes. I play as assault when I play op. metro and support now as I'm grinding up those terrible lmgs.

Ironically enough the kit I do play like 99% of the time is no where near the top!

Because you did really well in each of those other kits over a short period of time and it's just based on your score per minute. So if you killed a ton of dudes in a bunch of quick games of TDM and never used a kit again your score per minute in that kit is high.

You can, once you take the 20 GB out of its enclosure it's just a regular HD that will fit into the new Xbox. Without a new enclosure it'll be a little wobbly in there, you can stabilize it with cardboard or foam or buy a new enclosure on amazon for 5 bucks.

You need some torx drivers to take the old enclosure off.

Yeah just shoot the grenades at places where people hide, it blows up enough walls that you can get kills from people behind stuff.

You can also kill tanks with it.

Unless I'm confused, the MAV beeps and all the dudes within range pop up on the mini-map for a few seconds then disappear until the next beep. They're not spotted unless you're in the MAV spotting, right?

It's a motion detector like the TUGS. It refreshes slower and has a smaller range but you can put it in more hidden places. It's very valuable to your team even unmanned.

They do exist. They're just down 99% of the time. And also utterly un-changed from normal servers apart from probably flags which spawn tanks and aircraft turned off. Which makes Nosehair and Firestorm even more utterly loving horrible.

You have to use the server browser and set the filter where it says normal/hardcore/infantry.

It's a pity really because on those smaller maps as mentioned above, it makes for some nice intense games rather than the usual get tank -> surprise sex everyone who isn't engineer/C4 support formula.

He was saying that we need custom infantry servers that only have those maps.

Nobody respects the AMTRAK thing rules, dominated multiple games last night gunning and whoring the poo poo out of the AMTRAK. It respawns almost imediately when people rarely blow it up, has an auto fire grenade launcher and a machine gun, takes a poo poo load of damage, moves pretty quick if you boost. Respect it.

Also, the QBB whatever is probably my favorite LMG because its not a light machine gun at all, its an Assault Rifle with a huge clip. Wow I don't have to stand in one spot to kill people with it, thanks for being awesome Chinese Gun.

Fishbulb and I were discussing how the next DLC should be Battlefield 2143: Sponsored by NERF. Longshots, Mavericks, Nerf football mortars, nerf bat dog tag kills. The negatives of guns/accessories would be annoying whistling darts, and there could be glow in the dark suction cup tracer darts.

Someone should just make a Nerf shooter already, its a ripe market damnit!
