Damarand peak on rush is brilliant. Why can't all the maps be as clever?

Edit - or rather, rush on Damarand peak...

The best bit was playing as defenders, hovering in a chopper taking out people as they parachuted down. Until I crashed into a hill.

3k More points and I unlock the Javelin.
Now I need one of you guys to get the SOFLAM and were set!

The mortar isn't too bad, doesn't do heavy damage but you do clock a few kills and mainly assists with it, but its pretty good as a suppression technique to push the attacking rushers back (playing RUSH)

Fuck ppl thrash the mortars in the Paris map (?) which kit has the mortar?

My next unlock is the SOFLAM, so I'll get that and we should definantly hit up the javelin combo. Would be good on caspian border, up at the aerial capture point. I have a special spot up there I like to snipe ppl that come in jeeps to capture the point. My only problem is when a tank comes along, not much I can do unless they hop out for repairs. I miss the C4 capabilities of the sniper, but that was in Bad Company. Spec Ops was the kit with C4 in BF2

Support has Mortar and C4. Which is a good idea in a way, he's more the commando type.
Recon is just that Sniping and spotting.

They've done a good job in some ways of making it a team play game, where you'd require recon to paint targets for the engineer to fire rockets at, while the support guy drops ammo to replenish.

Eventually I'll use support and flick it to a smaller gun rather than the MG styles and become more of a commando infiltrating and planting C4.

However I love using land mines, no-one uses them and I zig zag them over the road (and if you die they stay there) many people don't see them and drive over them in such a rush. ALways fun seeing the ticker tape pop as you take someone out 3 mins or more later after you've moved on and died a few times etc.

Damn landmines.....keep getting me in the jeep. I get too excited in my jeep hurtling across the map looking out for tanks on the radar I don't see them....KABLOOOM.....Fuck

Support is my 2nd preference class after recon. Having an LMG with a bipod is awesome, especially on some on those CQ maps. Pick a choke point, set up and go gun happy. Is good in the subway map. Having the C4 comes in handy too, I get to keep doing my sneaky sneaky on tanks to blow them up......generally a suicide because someone generally spots you when you've planted them and you either die by your own hand and get, generally, a multi-kill or by someone else and get nothing

Gotta do the element of surprise or distraction, if you don't use a suppressor you're already lit up on the minimap as soon as you fire.

i tend to shadow them and approach the tank slowly as close as i can get before making the mad dash to them to plant then run and blow it up.

if they have thermals you're screwed anyway.

Pew pew

The jets are alot more fun once you unlock missiles......before that it sucked. Did you get the stick to work blue? Thinking about a flight stick but I remember you saying it was an arse pain.....possibly waiting for a patch? Unlocked stealth for the jets aswel last night so hopefully make those pesky anti air guys bugger off

I mainly go assault, like Blue I like to shoot shit and ask questions later! Finally got my K/D ration back over one. To much time fucking around trying to upgrade the other classes. Just need to get to rank 16 then I will be happy with the UMP, picked one up last night, that thing rapes at close range :)
can you read this?

My k:d ratio is fucked. I spent my games yesterday either tooling round in choppers, trying to headshot people from the other side of the map (fail) or running between checkpoints. My scores weren't too bad surprisingly (well, for me anyway) but I think I was getting one kill for every 8 or 9 deaths.


Don't bother with a stick blitz until they patch it. Not a proper flight stick anyway. The 360 pad works but I only have wireless on my PC so it goes to sleep before while using KM. I might try getting a wired one and see if that works.

I just can't control the jets with mouse. I hate picking my mouse up and repositioning it, but even with my sensitivity way up i'm needing to. How the hell does anyone manage that.... Beats me anyway

UMP is ok but its pretty bad for stability and rate of fire oh and clip count.
M4A1 or something that fires off 800 RPM is better when combined with IR/NV scope and fore grip.

My uncle and I tested out the SOFLAM and Javelin.. it sucks, its no better than manually locking the Javelin onto a target.
Basically we tried manually locking and quickly looking up and firing the javelin in hopes it would launch upwards and hit the tank from directly above - sadly doesn't, it immediately fires up about 5-10 metres then hooks directly for a horizontal attack.

So we figured try the SOFLAM, people noted on the forums it would approach from above with it. Same problem.

Either way with the bonus rocket/ammo gadget to give more ammo on RPG's and rockets you get 1 extra (3 total) for Javelin vs. 9 RPG's, and the Javelin basically does little to no damage, takes about 3 shots to even disable it 60% of the time the rest it doesn't do anything apart from just tickle the armour.

by the time I've fired 1 rocket and reloaded in the Javelin, I could have fired 2 off and reloaded the third almost with the RPG.

Hopefully they fix that as its almost useless, the Javelin should be a tank killer really if they're going for realism, you take a bit to lock on and find the right position but at least you have the knowledge that its going to pound the tank with a direct above hit and cripple it or destroy it in one shot, and since tanks have IR smoke that slow the lock down or breaks it, would be a better balance.

The javalin doesn't strike from above? Thats dumb. You're right, the javalin should be a one hit tank killer.

Yeah don't bother with the Javelin, it almost always doesn't hit, since the tank is in motion it hits where it was last standing so if its stood still, you fire, he rolls forward a touch it 99% of the time will hit the ground near it.

the RPG keeps going til it hits something as it should.

Soflam lock is good as I don't need line of sight to fire it, and it shows my teammates soflam lock on my screen prior to using the viewfinder and just firing. but other than that its just another perspective to fire from and/or fire javelin from behind cover if you can't see the target.

We just use mines and RPG. and flank either side with constant bombardment of rockets til the tank blows up its faster.

I'm finding games are starting to turn into a real rocket fest. Close quarter maps seems to be who can fire the most rockets or spuds down a hallway for quick cheap kills. Splash damage seems fairly high with the rockets compared to the tank that pretty much needs a direct hit on a person with the cannon to get a kill. Plus it seems like its way too easy to die in the chopper before the chopper even dies, as in getting shot at near the front with bullets or even rocket splash
