It could be a good game. However, because EA owns the servers, it's a horrible game trying to get online. Seems like the servers are down more than they are up. It's frustrating. Then again, we have come to expect this from EA. This is how their online is.

It's not a purchase for the single player. It's all about the multiplayer which is really good, when it's working.

What ****es me off is when you're a medic and when people hop in a vehicle and drive off leaving you in the dust.

I mean seriously.. WHAT THE :angry:!?!?! We're supposed to be in the front lines and you leave us in the back running up... then you :angry: that you're dying?! EXCUSE ME .. PICK US UP NEXT TIME!!

That happens to me sometimes, even with non-Medic classes. Thankfully, I usually come across smart players that wait for their teammates.

Gotcha

Thanks all.

I've really gotta be picking some pretty good spots as a Recon if people are spawning in on my location like this... :blink: :laugh:

Oh and, yeah, I've pretty much made the Recon my class. I shot 4 helicopter pilots down today while a clan was watching for recruits... didn't mean to, but I caught their eye.. :rofl:.. They want me to play on their server more..

[WastedJoker]

Had a few decent games tonight but the medic class seriously needs fixing.

I got that award a few days ago. It was quite a pleasant surprise, as I didn't even realize that they had an award for that. Now I'm trying to spawn on squad members as often as possible, to help other people get it too.

Sucks to hear that people are still having server issues. I haven't had any problems for a while now, apart from the server browser being a piece of junk (extremely long refresh times and pings not showing up). I wonder what EA and DICE are going to do now, seeing how the server upgrades appear to have done little to solve the problem.

Why did you blur your k/d? How many times did you die? :shifty:

That round wasn't all that good for me.. so.. yeah.

[:: Lyon ::]

18 kills with Recon, but only 200 recon score?? I don't mean to judge you but to me it seems that you are just camping and killing enemies, not doing what your class is supposed to be doing: scan enemies for your teammates, using your motion sensors on objectives, etc :(

I'd rather see lots of recon points than your kill, it means that you are helping your team fulfilling the objectives of the game.. just my opinion, no bashing or hard feelings :)

[rajputwarrior]

servers are having issues again...

Was hardcore mode. -I'd rather stay ALIVE than be one dead..

HC mode turns off scanning. :)

Believe me.. every single time before I fire off a shot in normal (which I'm slowly starting to not be able to play), I hit Q.

[Singh400]

They need to nerf the M60. I see more medics not being medics. It is very frustrating when you are dying and they wont even give you a health pack. Many just pick the medic kit to get kills. In real life, the medic would never carry a Light MG, M4 at best. They have one job and one job only, heal, but noone wants to do that, I play recon and enjoy popping that red beret, makes for a great target :)

I am a proper medic thank you :p I do a lot more reviving and handing out medpacks than I do killing. I see a body, I revive it :cool:

[Green_Eye]

I am on now. Larry you jumping on?

Ah yeah, I normally play on a non-hardcore. It makes me feel useful somehow as a recon than in a hardcore mode :D

Does anyone know if the Dr Pepper DLC will also be available on the PC version?

I'm talking about this...

[ViperAFK]

I was playing arica harbor defending the first point and I killed 6/7 guys in one shot with the tank :laugh: . There was like two squads just sitting behind a wall bunched together.

Also I am usually god-awful with recon but I was playin port valdez defending the second mcoms, and I was just camping behind a rock shamelessly and calling mortors on the hill going towards B and shamelessly getting tons of kills. because their whole team was trying to get in that way. It was a server with no killcam so it took them almost the whole match to find me :shifty:

On another note, Am I the only one who prefers the medic's XM8 LMG over the m60?

I prefer shotguns or non-class weapons when I play medic. Medics and LMG's are way over done.

[mattmatik]

I want to play so bad, I took the weekend off from gaming, played a couple rounds today but have to work the next 3 nights :( The last match I played was great. Nelson Bay can be tough as hell at night, especially as Defender. But my team was solid (squad sucked, guys kept dropping out) but everyone was spotting and I racked up tons of points just spotting. And no matter what I unlock in Assault after the XM8, I always go back to that gun. Equipped with a Red Dot or 4x and you can be either lethal or a fantastic spotter for your snipers and guys bunkered in the M-COM buildings.

How much more ammo do you get with the Bandolier upgrade? I can't decide whether or not to use that over the grenade upgrade. I also agree, the Medic LMG needs a bit of tweaking. I wouldn't say Medics solely should be responsible for healing, but definitely shouldn't be allowed to off you with a LMG from across a map.

woot finally just bought the game this morning steam at cheapest price possible (thank you US currency conversion :)) will be downloading and playing tonight.

I can agree that dropping of spec ops class for silenced light weapons probably wasn't wisest idea they had. Support class with L/MG & repair would make more sense like in bf2 and medic with normal assault rifle but ahwell this games not really going for realism in most ways lol.

I absolutely agree! I was so disappointed with the fact the Medics got LMG! Why on earth they decided to do that I have no idea! Even if you were to think about it logically, if you are a medic you need to be able to move as quickly as possible to get to downed players so they thought hey lets make them carry the biggest gun on the battlefield? Makes no sense. Also the fact that EVERY engineer weapon is silenced? What the f*** for? He is going to be spending most of his time in the arse of a tank why does he need a silenced weapon? That's just my short rant about guns. I can live with it though because now I am at a level where I can just use the M14 or the G3 for Medic :)

So, just for conversation's sake (because I love talking about Battlefield), do you think these decisions made by DICE are why there is less squad play or is just the nature of the players playing the game? In my opinion, Assault should get the silenced guns, Engineers should get the LMG et al, and the Medic should get the assault guns (or some variation of). I think this would make squad work so much more important and prevelant. Think about it, as a Medic, you no longer are overpowered so you need your assault/recon squadmates to do the damage while you provide support (novel idea, I know). Same with Engineer.

On another note, earlier in the thread I mentioned how much I love the "noob tube" ever since BF2. Well, the shotgun add-on has taken it's place. It's such an awesome weapon for CQB. By using the nade launcher you are, effectively, diminishing your potency as assault. I know some people are great at using the nade launcher but overall the shotgun does more damage at a closer range.
