Anyone want to fire up a 4 player game of Caspian conquest tonight and cheese the GOL unlock assigment? Stand in the tower, kill your pal 6 times with a sniper rifle, and you're all clear.

I'll do this. I'm ABigFatDad on Origin

I already got the GOL but I'll be happy to help other people get it. It's pretty much the best thing to happen to recon.

I'm loving the F2000 so far. Best advice I can give to unlock it is find a Metro server that caps around 32-48 people, and a large ticket count. I also used incendiary grenades a lot.

I think it's not about where your victim is, but where the shooter is. If you were sitting at the base in the MAA popping dudes, it would work.

You'd still need the stupid sniper rifle ribbon (6 kills) in the same round though.

There is an AMR-2 that spawns up on the tower of Caspian and it is kind of a pain in the neck to snipe from up there even with crazy OHK sniper rifle. Why would even the most silly wookie ever camp up there? It would be easier to hit targets from a moving helicopter.

I had fun up there last night when I put a mortar down on the top level and just rained down on pubbies. It was great when there was an enemy who parachuted onto the same level as me, but immediately started sniping (#Tags4Obama) and I also caught a couple wookies sniping from the level below me, not paying any attention to what was happening right above them.

Yeah! I was wondering why an enraged pubbie was desperately trying to parachute onto the tower. I guess he wanted his tags back. Instead he got an AMR-2 round to the chest. Wookies never change.

There is also the 2nd assault assignment for landing on the tower, 10 hours played and something else.

I think it's the 10 kill streak. I do believe that part of the assignment is broken and it won't actually record when you get a 10 kill streak, at least it didn't for me.

Weird, can't get any servers higher than 48 people. For a while there it was just 32 people servers.

I found the GOL's balancing downside! It's ironsights are horrendous. The front post might as well be a hippo squatting on the sight rail for all the good it'll do you.

The gun's hilarious in HC though.

From what I've gathered, the 10 kill streak needs to be done only as infantry. I've gotten 10+ kill streaks in vehicles but they didn't count nor appear on the results screen. On foot I'd gotten 7, 8 kills and had them noted on the results screen.

It honestly amazes me that the giant that is EA can't handle network infrastructure at all. Game's been out for how many months now, and they have exact sales stats, and yet they can't seem to keep their login servers working. :psyduck: Unless it's another DDOS attempt by some schmucks, this is ridiculous.
