Re: Battlefield 3

Lol, that's WORSE than another support guy (if used full time). It just takes you out of play and turns the game into a 12 vs 11 match-up. Contextually it can be useful when the other team seems to be sneaking around the flanks and getting away with it but used full time I have a hard time believing it's beneficial.

I would have to disagree.

I think the MAV helps a ton. Constantly being aware of where the enemy is around you is worth well worth the sacrifice of not having a guy on the field. This is especially true since the ENTIRE TEAM will be able to benefit and he can let the whole group know exactly where enemies are while using the the Mic in addition to spotting.

Good players who keep an eye on their map are able to take great advantage of it. I remember just recently playing with JNes. At first we were both playing as different classes trying to attack objectives and had 4 or 5 QUICK deaths. Then I switched to the MAV and JNes was able to reach the objective and not lose a single life.

So I think the benefits far outweigh any downside that there might be.

Ok, now I'm all jacked up. I need to go get a Red Bull and some sort of Mint Tobacco product in a tin can for this. Anybody want to get on a little before, maybe the other 3 guys in my group and try play a little? I know I've played with fatleg and jnes but I don't think I've played with Dan.

Re: Battlefield 3

FWIW...

I think Charlie could use an Engineer. If they are sitting back and defending an objective, they are going to be in trouble if a tank or LAV rolls up on them. I think the Engineer needs to be available to take it out, or at least distract it long enough for LT. Dan to run up and plant C4.


In regards to Tanks and LAVs. I am almost 100% positive now that a tank gets the benefit of two different players perks. Playing with JNes, everytime I was in a tank and he hopped in, we'd have proximity whether I was driving or not. There were several times where we were in a tank with a guy that wasn't in our squad driving, and we'd ALWAYS have proximity because that's what JNes has equipped. I doubt that every tank we got in together had proximity.

So take advantage. I think that you should plan out who the drivers/gunners are going to be, and then what 1st perk combo you guys are going to go with. I don't think it's just Proximity that it works with. Although I can't confirm this, I would like to believe it would have to be all of the perks (Autoloader, Armor, Maintenance, etc).

I agree. There should be 3-4 engineers on the team at a minimum and we've only got 2. Depending on map you need some guys with RPG, some with SAMs, and some splitting mines and repair tools. They're a tremendously important class and if the enemy is allowed to "do work" with a vehicle things can get ugly fast. I think a few OSers who run assault carry the grenade launcher instead of the med kit but that's just not enough to get opposing vehicles off the map asap. It may not be the highest scoring kit but along with assault I think it's the most important by a wide margin.

Re: Battlefield 3

I should be home tonight and will know for sure within the next hour or two. How exactly will we get everyone in the same room and on the right team?

Sweetness isn't a member on OS, but I've known the guy for about 10 years. He usually plays with us, anyways.. he's just not got a pc and we never signed him up on here, so we dont have the same ip address.

I can give him a call and see if he can play, if you would like..

Best I can think of would be to have the engineer in the gunner spot for tanks and LAV or other vehicles have the engineer in the passenger seats. to be able to hop out and repair.

Jnes have you squad perk at Squad Explosives for your team.

Yup. I forget which OSers I was playing with earlier this week but we were cleaning up by doing that. Dunno if everyone here knows the trick with the Little Bird and other transport copters but you can repair while sitting in them. Makes them fairly indestructible so long as the repair man doesn't take a rocket to the face.

I see all of you guys suggestions and changes to the lineup including roles/perks are coming up soon.

This pretty much confirms my findings.

As JNes would say, "Do work son!"

Re: Battlefield 3

It never hurts to have more engineers. Jnes and I were playing a match yesterday where the other team was probably running at least 50% engineers. Anytime we rolled up in a tank, five or six guys would pop out and almost simultaneously launch RPGs at us. It was extremely annoying, but obviously it completely neutralized our ability to use vehicles.
