I love moron Recons who bunch up to snipe people, and thus having their squad spawn on them. Easy headshots (got a 200pt bonus for distance headshot once). I know kills don't matter, but when you get a round against a moron attacking team how can you not. Its also awesome having a team bunch up in a building and having a mortar strike take down the roof and them in it.

Also, got my first snipe of a helicopter pilot, Quad bike driver and jeep driver last night.

One complaint. If you can't pilot the damn chopper DO NOT HOP INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT.

Got the Attacker (destroy 4 MCOM stations in a single round), Combat Excellency (reach kill streak of 8), Anti-Vehicle Efficieny (destroy 4 enemy Vehicles in a round), and Payback (Kill your Nemesis) pins today. So was a busy day for me.

Also, I don't like how you can only communicate with squad members. This would be a good idea if the different squads had different objectives. But we're going for the same objective, yet I can't tell my teammate in the tank to slow down so I can repair his tank, or yell at the snipers on my team to spot more people, or call a guy out for taking the helicopter by himself, or call out another guy who is using the UAV but isn't spotting anybody, etc.

yeah i agree with these things. i do think the infinite mortar attacks are useful though when you have half the attacking team sniping. it's a good counter again them as a defender as you just bring up a strike on their position. otherwise, you just get sniped constantly. i absolutely hate the camping snipers. i can deal with a few who are supporting the attackers maybe and it's fine on defense up to a point but it's incredibly annoying when everyone's just sniping away.

Have you guys heard about shotgun sniping...so ridiculous...but I can see how it is fun, but omg it pisses me off.

Yup, shotguns with magnum ammo and slugs are kind of lame.

the 12G slug perk is designed for less damage but long distance

I'm guessing that requires the 12 Gauge Slug specialization?


A 12 gauge Sabot round designed to give shotguns added range in operations outside of Urban areas. It substitutes high power for enhanced range and precision accuracy.

- Gives you longer range for the shotgun.

edit: above poster beat me to the punch but no I haven't used any of the Shotguns yet... I should try em though.. they seem like they would help in room clearing on some of the levels that have a lot of buildings people like to hide in.
