Just a heads up, but this isn't true. Grenades just take longer than c4, ammo, etc. and it's somewhat random. Sometimes I'll throw down an ammo box, sit on it and bombard a tunnel/bottleneck/whatever with 10-15 grenades in a row.

Are there any comedy option weapons in BF3? I do really like the semi-auto snipers without scopes, but they're legitimately pretty good. I need something awful to dick around with like the SVD or the Type 88 LMG from BC2. They don't even have the Garand, which was easily the best kinda bad gun from BC2. I did screw around with the EOD bot for a bit, but it's just so hard to drive. Those 2 kills in one life with it were goddamn satisfying, though.

A tip for the hardcore players: If you hit start while in a vehicle, your vehicle's health will show up on the HUD when you go back to the game. It resets any time you get out of a vehicle but seems to carry over if you spawn in a vehicle at the start of a new round. It's not gamebreaking but it does help quite a bit.

Yeah it's pretty much the best overall class, since right now you can snipe with shotguns and frag rounds, go close up and kill with the G18, destroy vehicles, and repair.

Although, Support is way more effective at killing vehicles.

I find that Recon is HELL fun to play, if you play it with PDW's, Shotguns, or my favourite, bolt-action sniper rifles with taclights, straight pull bolts and either 4xscopes or no scopes.. (This setup RAPES in hardcore)

It depends if you have a competent gunner that you can communicate with. If i'm flying solo with a pubbie gunner, I run air radar, flares, and heat seekers. There are other insane combinations as well that some have already mentioned. Laser painter, flares/ecm jammer, heat seekers with the gunner doing autoloader, flares, and guided missile. If you can do that combination with a great pilot and gunner, they're unstoppable.

I also always prioritize enemies in this order: enemy attack helicopter, jets, transport helicopters, then ground armor.
This is pretty good advice, but I prioritize a little differently. I go attack heli, spawn blimp (the door gunner will tear you up if his pilot knows whats up), ground targets and lastly jets. The attack choppers poo poo all over ground targets, especially once you unlock AGMs. Jets are kind of a bitch to fight in the chopper so I usually leave them alone unless they're attacking me or if I have the chance to hit one.

I was going to leave it on either way, but if it's faster and easier to kill things with the cannon, I'd just stick with that and never bother pressing triangle. I just haven't had much experience with the missiles yet so was wondering how much luck others have had with them.

Guided missiles are awesome. I like to give 'em some cannon spray on the approach until I'm close enough to lock. Sometimes it can take a bit for the missile to actually hit so don't worry if you don't get a hit right away. The biggest thing is having a pilot that knows ground targets are better than air targets. Obviously taking their chopper down is a good thing but fighting jets is dumb and you should be working to help the boots on the ground. If you have a pilot with the laser painter then enemy choppers are a mere inconvenience though.

I'm kind of torn about babby mode vs hardcore as far as choppers are concerned. It's a little harder to find ground targets in hardcore but the main cannon shreds infantry and a few rounds from it will soften up armor enough that AGMs kill in 1 hit.

"you seem upset :0"




Then I ran into another twilight zone pubbie. I was MAV bowling away when I got a party invite. I decided to take the plunge and join, expecting the worst. It turned out to be a well-mannered Austrialian guy. "Hey, me and and my mate saw you flying around killing people with the MAV, what's the secret?". Being as they were so cordial about it I caved and gave them some tips. They started picking up on it pretty fast once I told them to aim left.

Oh sh...does this apply to surface vehicles too?

Played some "hardcore" last night. I swear the first server was cursed. I quit in embarrassment after 4 TKs in one round. Didn't harm anyone on my team for the next few rounds in a new server. The funny thing is "Hardcore" still has options I want disabled like minimap spotting. Why are the game modes in BF3 such a joke? Core was making GBS threads me because it turns into a spamfest. At least in hc there aren't as many people randomly firing over where there could be enemies, or friends.
Gave someone that liked AMTRAKs the shits though because I kept going hunting, RPG style, or taking my friend Wall-E for a cruise.

Have you ever gotten the HUD glitch? It's like ultra-hardcore mode because there are 0 HUD elements, including doritos over friendlies. Also, when you die, your console freezes

I wouldn't get too tore up about teamkilling. Friendly fire happens, you get better at not wasting your teammates but sometimes people walk into your field of fire or surprise you at a corner. I teamkill squadmates with the MAV sometimes since they don't always show up as friendlies and it can be easy to miss on the minimap. It sucks when a dumbass pubbie gets you booted but thems the breaks.

It was campy and slow paced (and grinding away 75 tickets SUCKS) but it was actually a pretty good game. They ended up planting the last MCOM on us and won it but we gave them a drat good run for their money.
