Bf4 clans

I finally unlocked the mother fúckin phantom bow.. To me, whether the bow itself is that good or not is irrelevant. As a relative noob I tended to play the same way the whole time which did kinda get boring but I figured playing it safe was better than going into a jet and getting shot out of the sky 30 seconds later. Same with tanks, I was more often than not on the losing side of a 1 on 1 tank battle.

But the reward requirements needed to get the bow has made me a much better/versatile player. If I was losing interest in the game it has certainly been rekindled.. Onwards and upwards from here.

Congrats Gerry. Nice to see you didn't get your hopes up for the Phantom Bow. Fùck me I was devastated I'm intent on getting the Mastery Tag though.....only 190 more kills to go....ha

The importance of vehicles really is what sets Battlefield apart from the 'competition'. I love vehicle combat, even if I'm not great at it. I've made a big effort of forcing myself to use them all in BF4 to the point where I'd be fairly comfortable in any vehicle at this stage. Not necessarily good, but not a burden either. Biggest proof of this is in the jets; in nearly 620 hours of BF3 I racked up a grand total of 2 Attack Jet kills compared to over 50 this time round, 260 jet kills total. Nothing impressive but it's a personal victory of sorts. Still can't dog fight to save my life but I'm not as easy a target. I just figure that if there's a tank/LAV/chopper etc sitting in your spawn, the only one that actually benefits is the enemy.

I'm gonna spend the foreseeable future trying to improve my effectiveness in tanks though. A few of us were on last night and on Golmud Railway we came up against a clan whose Tanks were running in tantum with dedicated Anti-Armour loadouts. They were rarely more than 50m apart at any point and just let their infantry deal with any ground threats. As is usual of late, if our squad wasn't doing something, nobody was. We held off their armour and infantry at B for a good 10 minutes.....while the rest of our team proceeded to lose the flags we earned up to that point. It was ridiculous and properly disheartening.

I'm up for the challenge alright, fùckin hate the M39 though:(

Just to confirm.....MAV & T-UGS?

XtraFalcon wrote: »

Yes - Mav for air and T-UGS for auto-ground units

Oh you're just a meanie, what type of Recon doesn't bring either C4 or a beacon?? This is gonna be sooo much fun :pac:

I realised while writing it out yesterday that I always gave a bit of freedom with the gadgets so this is to completely lock someone into the kit.

Oh well danke schön mein Führer.

Freedom is overrated anyway and the less David Hasslehoff has to sing about, the better.

[Wall of text]

If you have any questions - Feel free to ask.

Wouldn't mind trying this (well someone has to come last) but don't think I've got that tier weapon unlocked. Almost never play as recon.

Was going to join ye last night lads but got banned from the server... dont even know why as I wasn't playing well, must have been because I killed a few guys in the attack boat. Ah well...

Since i've got the powerline cable up and running Ive lost a little interest so need some BF rejuvenation. Rush has been fun of late but id really like if the maps were mixed up, especially tired of vanilla maps and that is one of the reasons why I sometimes dont join IRL as most games are on those maps it seems

Apparently that server last night had a rule that Recons could only use bolt actions. Did you happen to use your DMR loadout? Bit of a joke that you got no warning at all though.

I'd love to find another server that ran different maps from all the DLCs. Only ever came across 1 and it shut down within 3 days of me finding it :pac: Very few server owners will run 'Ranked' servers for fear of never being able to fill them. I often search specifically for Ranked servers in the hope of finding another good map rotation

Remember something strange happened to us in the tank as well? I know i got a connection error when i went back to the main menu but it seemed very suspicious as you were kicking ass in the tank!

I'd forgot that was the same server we got kicked on Keith. The fact only KOB got banned means I'd like to think it was pure coincidence, but it does seems odd that the 3 of us with IRL tags got kicked within a few minutes of each other

Half-Way point update.

What a glorious weapon that M39 is........

Special Ops challenge details will be posted tomorrow and will go live on Friday when this challenge ends.

Hmm, I'm intrigued by this. Since very few Spec Op teams run with shìt weaponry, without being overly optimistic, I don't think this'll be a troll loadout. I was playing a few rounds last night and swapped to the Recon class, forgetting you assigned me the damn MAV & T-UGS.

I only figured out last night that I could trim video clips before using Share Factory :pac: Finally able to put several clips from several rounds together. Captured a few moments last night so hopefully I'll upload a video tomorrow........have to respond to Keiths RPG and sniper shot afterall

XtraFalcon wrote: »

Well that all depends on your definition of "Special".

Yeah I found a picture of some....special......forces alright. Not gonna attach my name to it in a public forum though

XtraFalcon wrote: »

Puts nothing at ease, those special forces rule out almost no weapon in the game. I'm gonna remain hopeful though, in Falcon we believe.

Was once called the Rick Astley of my generation..........

Little video with some highlights from the last few days.:D

The first 2 show why I love the Scar-H, even in fairly close quarters. Drops them very fast and I know for a fact I couldn't have done the second clip with the AEK for instance.
The 3 on Guilin Peaks aren't anything special, I just seemed to hit every transport chopper that flew past me that round....and everyone likes a good bow kill.
The 3 on Kerelia I really like. The jet was easy but I thought it was hilarious at the time, no idea what he was trying to do :pac:
2 snipes to round it all off and I'll admit it now, the last shot was completely unexpected. You can tell by the fact I just stood there like a sap afterwards.

keithc83 wrote: »

Some really nice kills there Darren, getting those headshots/kills with the bow has to make you feel Rambo-esque! :pac:
That last sniper shot was something else! At that distance and with him moving as well! Great shot!

Thanks Keith.
I went on a bow spree that night actually, was enjoying it again(just bring a good pistol cos you'll need it).
That last shot was an absolute fluke to be honest. I knew what I wanted to happen alright, didn't think I'd hit him though. Plan was to try get him to stop and take cover and then kill him, oh well

I am actually enjoying using the Unica at the moment, good all rounder for me so once (will be some time yet i think!) I unlock the bow I think i'll have that as my needed backup! haha

I hadn't actually used the Deagle in ages. I just run it cos it works with the Phantom. Gotta close the distance to be somewhat reliable with the bow so the sheer damage of the Deagle is handy. More rounds and a quicker reload than the 44.Magnum as well.
Found that the CZ-75 is a very good balance between damage and spamfire etc.

I'll have to skip this challenge unfortunately. Not a chance I'd get enough free time to go for the 1600 kills needed in total.
