    LOL...BF:BC2 has an excellent, very fun campaign. The banter in the squad was excellent.

      Or is it like the beacon where it stays around unless you respawn as Recon again?
      They stick around unless you spawn as a recon again. I don't use recon much so I don't have any other gadgets, but I was thinking you could place the UGS and then switch to another gadget and spawn as a recon again. I do it all the time on Operation Metro. Spawn as recon first, place UGS by escalators in the corner, switch to assault, and the map stays lit up with red markers.

        Did...not...know...this...

        My God man. That is going to be my strategy from here in out. I really wish I would have known this earlier.

        There are times where I would start off a match and place the beacon, then switch classes after dieing.

        But I never thought to do that with the sensor until now. I'm also wondering if I respawn with the MAV equipped instead, would that keep the UGS on the map, essentially giving me two sensors...There wont be anywhere for the opposition to hide! Ha

        Im starting every match placing the UGS. Then when I die, which will inevitably occur, I will switch to the MAV and place that on some unreachable area, in a different part of the map. Red arrows EVERYWHERE.

        No wonder you're so damn good Mike. This makes things so much easier. This little trick is gonna catapult me to the top! Hopefully...lol

        Wonder why more aren't doing this? Or maybe they are, and i'm just way behind. Haha.

          Make sure to keep it away from where enemies tend to throw grenades/shoot rockets (i.e. back corners from the entrance they are coming from) You need to place it in the same corner as the doors/entrances are so it'll run a lower risk of them destroying it with explosives plus it's closer to the enemy, so I guess you can spot them even earlier.

          I'm not positive about the use of multiple gadgets either, I can't try it obviously as I don't have any other gadgets.

            Did not know you could do that, thanks my man.

            Had some good games the last couple of days, fell in love with the M416 on the assault class again! Might start levelling up my Engineer class tomorrow.

                  Dang my INVR or whatever the nightvision scope is called was nerfed. Even though it is more realistic now, my stats were very much over rated because of that scope. Now I cant stand to use it on a board in open daylight. Once you aim down the scope everything is blurry and it takes a couple seconds to adjust, then after adjusting things are not very clear.

                    Battlelog is starting to really piss me off. So buggy and glitchy for me lately.

                    Either:

                    a) When I select a server, it says loading level for 5+ minutes, and it doesn't change.

                    b) It says I'm disconnected from the EA servers.

                    c) It says game is ready and launches the Single Player portion of the game...



                    I've been sitting here for the last 25 minutes, haven't gotten into a single game. It went on for an hour and half last night before I got fed up waiting for it to do something and left.

                      I finally unlocked the M320 Smoke rounds. It helps out tremendously as attackers on Rush. The effects of the smoke are much improved over the smoke in BC2.

                      Attacking "A" of the second set of MCOMs in the subway tunnel on Operation Metro, I used smoke on one of the doors entrance. Every enemy in the room started shooting at the smoke giving away their position. My squad flanked and entered the opposite door killing the enemies. Another teammate and I were the last one standing. I arm the MCOM and my squad spawns on me. I smoke the room again to hide our positions and we take the base.

                      It was a memorable match because I got 3 medals in that one match. 33,100 award points.
                      They don't help you pad your stats but they are definitely gamechangers. Congrats sir.

                        Sorry guys, lost connection to the EA servers. I was gonna call it a night after the game anyways so I didn't bother rejoining.

                          I've been playing some TDM, just to spice things up and to work on some of my gun unlocks. I've found a setup that's extremely fun to run with..


                          P90 w/ reflex and suppressor as a Support with Claymores..

                          I'm harassing people with it, pretty bad..

                            I was starting to loose faith in myself, until that last round on Caspian Border... It got simple.. I just kept running back and forth between B and C.

                            I get so tired of Damavand Peak for Conquest...
