Well seeing as nobody has made a thread so far, I guess we'll start it now.

Just positive talk, folks...your favourite gun, game mode, map, vehicle etc.

For me, it's Caspian Border. Along with the tanks. I haven't got used to the choppers yet. Can't shoot for shit with the jets either - but positive about it!

Never experienced a game which can go from zero to intense so quickly.
Some moments, like taking on a tank singlehanded with a launcher or battling for control of a single street with your squadmates on a map with a dozen streets, fighting going on everywhere, some experience.

Knifing Max and Gonzo and sadly missing out on Jigsaw whilst on mumble, it was nearly the perfect moment

Game is everything i expected it to be, cant wait to play it on a decent PC.

Magill · 31-10-2011, 02:04

getting pretty solid with the choppers, getting there with the jets too. Best thing about the game imo.

Dont ever say uncle Blitzy never helped you.

I think I found an easy way to stat up to heatseakers with jets. Though I'd like someone else to confirm before I give 100% guarantee.

But I think it goes like this:

1. Points awarded to you while in a jet go to your jet score. Regardless of where those points come from (and vice versa) You can miss out on jet points if someone dies after you had bailed out of your jet.

2. Its only something like 500 points for flares and another 1000 for heatseakers.

So the cheap way to get jets.

Play support and get a friend or two to help you. Get them to defend some important point or something and drop them an ammo box

Get a Jet, fly away and try and gain point the honest way

meanwhile your friends will purposely waste ammo shooting a wall and reloading giving you points for resupplying them. In no time will that all pile up into 1500 points unlocking heatseakers.

I wouldnt think it be worth it for higher levels.

I stumbled across this when 2 things happened in my last game. First I laid some mines down earlier in the game and then got in a viper, when the mines went off the 250 points I got went to the viper score and unlocked the next level.

And later when flying the scout chopper a friend spawned on me and I got 10 points. The game ended before I could do anything, but I still got 10 points on my scout chopper score.

So clearly point 1 applies regardless of where you are.

I've managed to play about 4 online games, the servers are absolutely $hite!

ShadowHearth · 31-10-2011, 11:49

Play squad deathmatch

Run to tank and put mines in front of it

Run away and keep doing on what you doing

Hear loud boom and 1-3 kills + tank destruction.

Trolly face. Lolololol

Going to work... BF3 Style !

Do we really need one of the sunshine and lollipop threads?
Leave it to the cod forums tbh,theres already plenty of threads about the game here.
Id also like to add that ones opinion of the game on a console is vastly different to what the experience is on PC.
Saying some feature or element of the game is great or terrible will most likely not be the same on all formats.
This is one game that is vastly different depending on what format you are playing on.

Magill · 31-10-2011, 13:33

Don't see why not... this isn't the megahate thread.. only the good ****.

TBH tho... the forum could do with a major clean up... mods ??? Combine the names thread into a sticky, change the names of some of the older threads etc....

Snowie · 31-10-2011, 13:47

Love turning up the volume during those choke point fights, like the alley way in grand bazaar. All that tracer fire and explosions makes great atmosphere.

Despite my hatred of Engineers and IFV's taking up a position at one end when fighting over alleyway, it's incredibly fun to deploy the M249 (or other high-capacity LMG) and tear everything to shreds
