Alright then, gonna stick to the SKS since I'm farming on Locker and Metro.

Unrelated but Zavod 311 basically boils down to "I hope you got lucky with battlepacks" and that sucks.

One of the heavier hitting DMRs with FLIR makes any night map a great way to rack up kills and infuriate pubbies.

Do service stars sometimes glitch out in Battle Reports? Because in one round on Dawnbreaker it says that I got both a Fast Attack Craft and IFV service star even though those vehicles don't exist on the map. It also says I got an Assault service start even though I clearly didn't even use the assault kit once. I didn't get points for them but its still weird.

I think he means the night Zavod map basically requiring a IR sight. Though that requires less getting lucky and just getting enough packs on other maps.


Does Zavod At Night have an MAA? :v:

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
After the first couple days of playing Night Zavod, I dropped the night scopes. As long as I don't go underground after the lights are shot out, I do pretty well. It becomes too much of a crutch.

You can also be a complete rear end in a top hat who hates fun and crank up your brightness in the option menu for Night Zavod. Everything becomes significantly more noticeable at the cost of some whitening of the image.

The few times I've been in a server when its running Zavod After Dark I've gone with an IR scope and a tactical light. I have no idea if it actually helps.

Does Zavod after dark still have the same 6 control points as regular Zavod? Because god drat do I ever not care for maps with an even number of flags.

it does, and funny thing is that in F that tower with the helipad does not have stairs, so if people want to they can take the TH, plant a beacon in the room at the top and then they have free access to F for the rest of the match

How's BF 4 vs BF3? Just got a new computer after a break for a couple of years and haven't played either. My brother is letting me play his copy of 3, so I was wondering if 4 is a huge improvement/downgrade.

It's similar, with lots of logical progressions of systems from that game. It's the better game certainly. Particularly after lots of patches.

DICE addressed some of the more frustrating aspects of BF3 while keeping most of the game play the same. Some of the more recent patches that were done by DICE LA have changed some of the longer standing mechanics. But the game is still fun.

Why are there no 3000 tickets Metro servers in South America, why :negative: Fifth time in a row I'm a ribbon away from the F2000, but people are just completely awful at getting kills. I plink every single enemy I see with an AWS and yet I end up at the top of the scoreboard with the most kills. :negative:

I don't understand how kill-assists are so difficult. There's entire class of weapons unsuited for killing anyone called Sniper Rifles...

How are kill assists difficult with any weapon? Like, shoot a guy once and then stop shooting. Let a buddy finish him.

And what should one do to be remembered?
That's the thing, I set up an AWS with a bipod on a point with really good coverage. Shot every single guy I saw once, but no one would be able to finish him. It was Hardcore as well, so it was extra depressing.

Like, we are talking a team so bad we hold B and A yet we ran out of tickets before the enemy team. I've spent so long trying to get this dumb weapon.

Dude. Just go on a 3k ticket server in NA or something.

Azran

Yeah, I am going to try NA servers. The only 3k tickets one in SA is a Op. Locker server, the Metro servers have either 800 or 1200 tickets at most. :psyduck: Worst part is that I'm only missing like 7 weapons at this point.

Okay, hardest challenges left right now are 1) find a Chainlink server that doesn't quick you because of high ping (I found a German one, luckily) and 2) get the Magnum Gol.

Nice the F200 is a monster in both CQB and mid range depending on your setup. Oh yeah little tip on the GOL, you don't have to be all the way up on the tower, If memory serves the 2nd level up on firestorm stil counts and you can just shoot the camping snipers from below with the CS5 and knock that poo poo out quick. Well or really any silenced bolt actions(CSL-R5 is tied with the JNG-90 for fasted bullet travel time while silenced at 380, but the CS5 have antigrav bullets so they both work well. Small note on the CS5 set the range to 200 and your set sure you could probably walk tere faster and knife them but if you set it to 200 its a head shot machine.

Also I would like to set up a nice brutal goon stomp of the R22R servers one of thee days. They have been admin switching to non-vehicle maps a lot lately and I am pretty sure our shotty game beats theirs.

1) throw lots of flashbangs into badguys
2) throw lots of other grenades into badguys
3) hipfire with frag rounds and shotguns all day.

Shotguns, incendiary and XM-25 air/dart also do pretty well for getting the assist.
