I will do this. Eventually.

As MW2 was approaching I started trolling when playing COD4. When I was OpFor I would only kill people (and myself) with C4, sneak up behind someone, cook a grenade and not let go or use RPGs only martyrdom was a necessity of course (or like 10 year olds like to call it, Marty-dumb)
the other videos from that guy are in the same vein "Operation [something]" are funny too.

If you hit a tank square in the back, it takes off 50% damage. That's a pretty fair amount in my opinion.
I'm getting a bit better at sniping. I can actually take out guys at longer ranges now.

Unlocked the EOD bot last night. Not sure what exactly I should do with it now...
It seems useful in rush, but that's about it. I need to play with it more.
Also, don't forget to join the Acurazine platoon! You can join multiple platoons at once so there is no downside!

EDIT: I just saw the price for the first DLC is 15 bucks! I get it free since I bought the limited edition, but I'm not sure if I will be buying future DLC at that price. Hopefully they will gradually drop the price over time or something.

and instead of just 4-5 maps for $20 it's $15 for four new maps, vehicles and weapons. I hope they take the high road on this but knowing EA/Bobby Kotick....
ok, so I actually watched the video. HOLY FUCK. the VTOL jet and the forklift

What are your guys' favorite guns? I seem to do really well with the burst M16 and M4... just unlocked the SG553 (the CS gun! kinda) in co-op and it's kinda iffy. Same with the G36. G3 sucks ass, loved the AEK and F2000, might go back to those.
I hardly ever play support. Played only a bit of recon and the SV98 is leaps and bounds better than the semi-auto snipers IMO. I've done things with it that are impossible with semi-autos. I hated sniping but now I can't wait to unlock the straight pull and bipod.

I'll sound like a hypocrite since many of you know how I feel about DLC but I'm probably going to get it. In my defense if I knew how much I was gonna like BF3 I would have pre-ordered it as soon as it was announced. Instead the release date passed by and I had no idea

I really hate how for at least ps3 it doesn't remember the weapons I saved for each class.
Like for engineer it always defaults back to the ak74su(?) and the silenced mp443(?) handgun
I always gotta change it back to the m4a1 and silenced m9 (doesn't matter if I'm playing as US or the other side.

The M249 is just fun. I haven't had it for long, but it's great to just hold down the trigger for awhile.
Shooting the SV98 with a laser sight from the hip is fun too. I can't wait to get the straight pull bolt. I'm always like an inch off and by the time I zoom back in I lose my target.
Also, being shot by a USAS-12 sounds like your world is exploding.

How do you make sharp turns in jets? Some guy who was ranked like 10+ (colonel or general or w/e) was owning in a jet. Went like 20-0, guy was godly when it came to piloting.
I slow down with the S key (or back) but I still have to make wide turns. He was turning on a dime almost.
damn.... I can't wait to get thermal optics. Right on though, if you have someone who can pilot worth a damn, you guys will rape. I'm a crappy pilot but a pretty good gunner. Thank you MW2 chopper gunner perk.
Doesn't hurt that I'm sitting next to my buddy and spotting people for him also, do vehicle perks like stealth/stealth add up or does only one person need it? Seemed like we could both have IR flares though.

I use the ECM jammer thou.
As for the pilot turning really sharp, not sure but I hear some of the physics on flying is messed up allowing that stuff.

I haven't played a good match in awhile. They have all been frustratingly one sided lately, with me on the losing side of course. I mean one round of TDM had 600 tickets. The final score was us: 0 , them: 501. It was just ridiculous.
#471
That's my biggest complaint about this game. I hate getting thrown in a match thats half done or a BLOWOUT but when you enter and it ends within seconds it REALLY irritates me. I can deal with spawning next to an enemy because sometimes it works out to your advantage. Just gotta be ready.

usually i tear it up in there, but most of the time they get me right as i spawn
#474
The spawns are indeed terrible but if you want faster paced gameplay, squad DM is where its at. Helps a lot when you're with a friend or two so you both know to lock down a certain area so people don't spawn behind you. You level your guns so quickly. TDM is especially bad, IIRC I've seen people spawn in my direct line of sight
still haven't tried out squad Rush. sounds fun. As far as entering a game that's a blowout it sucks but chances are people are leaving the losing team and not all servers have auto-balance. If you were on the losing team and were staying, chances are wouldn't you want more people to join?
though I usually leave if I'm not playing with a friend and the other idiots on the team don't rez or drop ammo.

The AN-94 is underrated. If you have discipline with the fire button the 2-shot burst is amazing.
The ironsight is probably the shittiest in the game... coming from someone who doesn't mind irons in general. I hated it at first trying to use it in conquest. But once you get the kobra for it... oh man. and in 2-shot burst if you keep tapping the trigger for CQB it seems like it shoots just as fast as the F2000, if not faster. Foregrip and heavy barrel help too, obv.
I used it in TDM just so I could level it and try out scopes for it but I ended up beasting with it. So far I've only got 75 kills with it, 22 of those being headshots

Man freaking lies, when I unlocked the air radar for the jets it said "permanent upgrade" meaning I thought it would be like the below radar permanent upgrade for helicopters in that you always have it, you don't need to equip it to have it. But no you have to equip it.
Anyways much more useful for finding jets that are attacking you.
