    Anyone else playing this since it recently released?

    I'm loving it so far and nearly have the assignments done already. Best DLC of the lot and running really smoothly for me.

    This forum seems very quiet. Any got any thoughts?

    Played it last night for an hour or two its good but the maps are massive in conquest large, like properly massive which can lead you having to hotfoot it for ages across open terrain if there are no vehicles around which for some reason happened a lot to me last night. I had a few decent rounds but there was a lot of times where i felt like i was in a running simulator.

    I was saying exactly the same thing the other night. The maps themselves are quite good but there's a huge shortage of transport vehicles. I don't want more choppers or tanks or LAVs, just basic quad bikes to get around. Spent far too long running between flags for my liking.

    I love it, rush and CQ are brilliant. I don' mind the map size, see no problem with maps where the kill per minute is less than one...slower pace makes a change and means you shouldnt disregard the vehicles as easily

    yeah i like the map size. The RORSCH sniper is class and using it on hardcore is the best. Easy enough to get it too. The anticipator is a bit useless unless on hardcore but the new hover tank is cool.

    I like the way on Hammerhead they have the 2 choppers in areas where you need to run to get them. Makes it a lot easier for people who actually want the heli's and not just use them because they were available after they'd died.

    The hanger is cool and I like the fire engine thing. Giants of (something) is also good but very big so you would want a vehicle.

    Rush is my fav gamemode but had great fun on conquest large mainly with the choppers or the rorsch.

    The rorsh Is overpowered one shot kill on heli come on, not like rpg where it takes skill/luck to do

    It's a one shot mobility hit, not necessarily a one hit kill. Having to charge it up before shooting, the massive blue vapour trail and noise, on top of the 2.5/3 second reload. Pretty balanced to me. What about the .50 Cal semi auto snipers? Much higher damage per second output with an actual magazine.

    It may be mobility but what ever force multiplier is on it the choppers do a flip and bang dead, you don't have a chance

    And snipers unless you stop they would be very lucky to get you

    I know it's not ideal, but running Gyro-Stabilizer on the choppers gives you enough control to retreat or repair

    everything takes skill or luck just to a diff degree. There's only 1 or 2 of them on the map so it's not like everyone running around with them.

    The gunner in the attack heli's would be a lot easier to get kills than the rorsch in a game so i don't see the big deal. Most hits I get on a heli won't destroy it or kill the pilot.

    I reckon what happened was just as you were about to shoot, their chopper took some damage so it was already less than 100% health. If you look to the left of the chopper you hit, you'll notice your transport chopper start to engage with its minigun. I think the Rorsh does about 65 damage + the mobility, so your teams gunner probably only needed to do about 35 damage and then the Rorsh became a 1 hit insta-kill.

    *If you want I'll link the video for ya, looks great watching the whole chopper go down :D
