After a week of dedicated Recon playing I've noticed that you really can completely change the game with a cheeky tactic and a bit of luck.

I remember playing a Metro game a good while back, must be a month or two at this stage, but for the fact of the complete and utter stupidity of my team mates I'd have forgotten it had ever happened.

On the first phase, I was on the defending team. After several waves of failed attempts to plant the attackers decided to hold back a bit and maintain tickets. A few minutes later, an orange blob appears on my minimap out on the little island in the lake. Its a recon guy. After trying a few pot-shots, I give up as he's taking cover/out of sight/out of range and leave it to the recon guys on my team. But oh no! Not everyone on my team has that line of thinking.

Suddenly, a flux of 7/8 guys comes over to the shoreline to try and get him. Next thing you know, 'A' mcom has been planted. Do my team mates drop what they're doing and go for the objective? The hell they do! They're still standing, waiting for this one guy to pop his head up. Moments later 'B' is armed and now there's 5 people on top of it and 'A' almost gone.

The remaining guys on my team and I made a valiant attempt to go for both mcoms, but in the end we were overwhelmed and we lost them. As I respawned in the underground, I watched in joy as the killscreen lit up with those retards who were still waiting for one guy.

Never underestimate the power of distraction tactics.

Ha that's quality Logical! I must give that a shot tonight..

I have been playing recon a bit the last week. I am using the bolt action SV98 and I unlocked the bipod. Makes a world of difference to my shot.

I was playing Gulf of Oman last night and there was a guy on top of one of the cranes launching mortars down onto the enemies trying to reclaim objective D

Love that one I have to say!

Just finished the weapon camo assignments and it turns out you can equip them to your soldier aswell but only two are unlocked for US and two for RUS, not sure why dice didn't tell people that

Playing Rush on the Bazzar last night. One of the lads was driving a tank and had it parked on the site of the second B M-Com , just blasting the hell out of death alley. I was skulking around the tank with keeping the C4 monkeys off it and repairing it as it needed. Things got a little boring so I climbed up on top of the tank and proned out on top of it. My mate fired off the main gun and blame...I went flying.

Funny stuff, not quite as good as the slingshot launch off Damavand Peak but funny.

More Jihad jeeps. Was following another enemy jeep, which crashed into an enemy tank. I aimed mine between and jumped out. Boooom

Got a wicked Jihad Jeep on Wake Island over the weekend. Stuck 6 lumps of C4 to the front of it then went driving. Got a triple road kill, then ran over another dude, noticed their Amtrack and Tank were WAY too close together, put the jeep between the two of them and boom, killed 3 in the amtrack and 2 in the tank.

Gotta admit, while I've been playing Battlefield since it came out more often than not it breaks my heart with stupid decisions you see people making.

But tonight I stumbled into one of the most enjoyable games I've had in ages - I came in probably about half way through, our team trailing by around 100 tickets - but the other team must have got preoccupied with kills over the objective because we leveled up the scores around 150 tickets each, holding 3 flags on Kharg (PS3), and pushing for the fourth, D, which we had for a little while.

But when that happened one squad on our team seemed to set up camp around C, and kept a soflam aimed in D's direction. Normally I'd be a bit miffed if the whole team wasn't pushing, but the plan worked, we took out maybe 6 or 7 of their tanks before they got a foothold on the map again.

And that's when the other team clicked into top gear - I can't think of a time when I've seen a more organised team. The took their tanks across the map in a pair, one advances and attacks at choke points, but with a clear straight line retreat path, while the other tank held back safe. Then when the point tank took even a little damage they switched positions, the rear tank got repaired, and they switched again.

It was around that point I glanced at the scoreboard, and saw that while my team was a bunch of randoms, at least 9 players on the other team were clanmates, and each one was colonel 100 rank.

We ebbed and flowed for a bit, took the lead around the 100 ticket mark, but they came back to level again at 53 tickets each, and they held 3 flags. The next time I checked the score it was 50-28 to them.

Then in a lucky gamble we retook A, while someone had gone to D on a rhib boat unnoticed - and the other team decided to send both tanks back to D - which led to us getting A,B and C with the scores around 18-8 to them, but we held them and won by 4 tickets.

Really fun game, no spawncamping (though I know there would have been if we lost all 4 flags for any duration), jets being useful with guided missiles on tanks, soflams to help the engies with javelins. The unlikely victory was the cherry on top.

I had to stop playing afterwards because I knew I wasn't going to enjoy the next one nearly as much. I even checked on Battlelog for the results of the games that clan had played prior to that one, it's not pretty reading.

Jesus well done 80% of the other team were level 100.

Playing seine the other night, after getting my number of mine kills for the scar-h challenge, i decided to place mines all around the square in such a way that each one would set off the other and went up into one of the buildings waiting for D to flash. Let it flash for a few seconds, popped my head out fired off the RPG and was rewarded with 4 bodies flying 30 feet in the air.

Playing on Kharg last night, a bit of Rush. We were defending and me and a buddy hopped in the tank and drove it down to the beach. We were messing them up pretty bad, kept shooting down their Heli and shot down there Jet with a tank shell twice because he kept trying runs at us from the front. My buddy then went 3rd seat and the rest of the team started popping Javelin's at anything that moved. They finally rammed the tank with a Jet from behind and killed us, but a few minutes later we robbed their LAV.

Nobody wanted it as a lot of people seem to feel that LAV's are crap, so I jumped in and spotted their Jet. From what I could tell it was the same dude all game, so I wanted some payback for the bitch move he pulled earlier. Switched to my wire guided missle, fired and tracked him and BOOM! One dead Jet.

Would have loved to have seen the look on his face.

Tied as "most awesome moment" from the game with shooting two guys out of the air with tank shells as they parachuted in after our tank respawned.

Conquest, on Gulf of Oman. I had been playing engineer and we had managed to take all objectives. I got killed and respawned as a recon. SV98 and MAV.

Thought I could help the team hold onto the objectives by placing myself up on one of the cranes. My spot at the end of the construction crane gave me clear shots of objective A and B (which are out in the desert open if you recall). The enemies kept trying to take objective A.

I had sniped the same guy 3 times... he obviously had enough. I was switching between MAV and Sniper Rifle and after killing him the third time I was flying around in the MAV. Noticed somebody climbing up the ladder on my crane! Jumped out of the MAV and got my silenced G17 pistol out on the ready. Took a quick peek down the ladder tunnel and see the smug head on this guy climbing up towards me. I let him get on top of the crane. He was obviously confused of my location on the crane (the killcam probably confused him) as he was looking down the other end of the crane. No sign of me. So he turns around and sees me lying there prone... he must have panicked or something as he didn't even get a round discharged as I riddled him with 4 pistol bullets

Going throught the new assignments and only have a few left to get, one of which is the "Destroy 25 Vehicles with C4".

So i decided to jump on last night and ended up on CQ on Firestorm so though ah sure ill give it a go. I ended up at the end of the game with 21 Vehicles destroyed. I was planting on tanks and running away in case they noticed there was now C4 on their tank to see them hop out and look about but as soon as they got back in i blew them sky high. I had so much fun doing it that when they had all objectives i took the Heli for a rampage, got a couple of shots away and was hit with 2 missiles so jumped out above A, seeing the tank under me i switched to C4 and dropped it, still floating my way down to earth and I blow the C4 got a kill and vehicle destroy and was delighted only to have the tank run over me when i touched down.... ended up the c4 got attached to an enemy plane haha

Playing last night, attacking on Sharqi. Running towards the M-Com when this dude rounds the corner in front of me. I have an M27 and he has an AEK. We unleash on each other while bopping about a bit. Both still alive. Switch to side arms, unleash, bop about, both still alive. He goes to reload his main, I reload my side arm. Two more empty clips, both still alive.

By this point I am breaking my **** laughing. We switch to knives, get a slice of each other. Go back to side arms, miss completely.

By now I'm laughing almost too much to stay taking part in our little dance so I take out some C4, drop it and click. Both of us dead.

About 5 mins later I get a message off the dude saying it's the funniest **** to have happened to him in the game...he also pointed out that we were both dancing about on top of Med packs. I didn't even notice them.
