I cannot stand Shanghai once some troll's brought it down  Other than that, your opinion is that if you use the element of surprise you're "doing it wrong"? It's a good tactic (much like bringing C down to stop SRAWs and sniping). Especially at the start of the round, most people are concentrated on taking out choppers and trying to watch east or west, perfect time to flank them then use a silenced weapon. Speaking of, I was using it pre-patch, but I'm still loving the UMP-9. The UMP-45 I thought I'd love, but there's just something about it that I dislike..

Surprise is good, but try to sneak around them instead of drop in from above. Any health lost before engaging puts you at a disadvantage.

If your team controls C let it stay up, if the enemy team controls C it's usually easier to bring it down than to try to assault directly.

I make it a matter of course to bring down C the second I join a Shanghai game if the enemy team holds it. All of a sudden there are people on both teams actually doing something.

Take down C the second you lose it, you can hold it with a fairly small number of people and the enemy team will throw everyone they have at it over and over while you jump from it to D or B. If you can hold it the entire round you will most likely win handily unless your team is made up of snipers. It's also a great point for SRAW work giving you a shot at helicopters and at tanks below. That map is a mess unless you have some attentive helicopter pilots willing to strafe the buildings near the objectives, especially F, you'll end up constantly back capped as people hop off the roofs.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:What guns are ~the best~ now? What do I want to use in place of defensive on each class? Defensive still has its place, its just less effective against the weapons it wasn't designed for (buckshot/slug shotguns, sniper rifles at close range) than before. As for the rest of the perk trees just pick something you want, there's too much variety to say one is better than the other outside of something specific like choosing anti-tank on a vehicle heavy map or mechanic if you're doing to be using a tank or something. As for guns I cycle through them all too often to say anything other than high rate of fire guns are still king in any situation where they're still doing their max damage.

Defensive Perk only reduces buckshot by 16% I think, which means that it's still lethal to the chest. The problem is latency/shotgun mechanics more-so than Defensive perk.

I like playing Classic since it's the most like the old BF titles but holy christ it's like the lack of 3D spotting turns people minds completely off. Had a round on Flood Zone where an enemy IFV was holding the parking structure pretty much solo. On Normal he'd be swarmed by Engineers after maybe 5 kills, but this guy went on a 30 kill streak because people just kept spawning in as Assault like the sound of his giant goddamn cannon was some natural phenomenon to be ignored.

Nah, that's just pubbies. Classic is great though. I said a few pages ago that Classic is what Hardcore should have been from the start. Taking away displays and maps just makes things annoying to me but having a lot of the things from hardcore like no regenerating health, losing ammo magazines if you reload, no 3D spotting, and only squad leader spawn makes the game amazing, not annoying.

What's currently the best deal on premium ? Can't find it for less than 30EUR/40USD, is that good ? Also, is there any point in using a PDW rather than a Carabine ? Seems even for CQBish an ACR or MTAR is comparable while remaining more versatile. Krogort fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Oct 25, 2014 |

If you're going to go CQB, none of the PDWs need to ADS, while that's going to be very necessary for the ACW-R and MTAR if they want to get 5 hits on a target as accurately as possible.
