I hear you. The Medic gun selection is way OP for a Medic role. I tend to play with the XM8 LMG on the rare occasion when I do play Medic.

And sniper rifles are gay and boring. Complete snooze fest. When I do play Recon, I tend to play with the WWII pistol and just run around with that. Sniper rifle selected is usually the GOL.

That's going a little to far. :laugh:

Seriously though when I play recon I'm not the one that is sitting on a hill 2 bases back trying to get headshots. I like actually rushing when I play recon, it's so fun. And people don't usually expect to see a recon up close and personal and getting blasted in the face by a Gol. I also like recon with a shotgun too.

man i wish i had as much time as you guys did....

It's what happens when you're unemployed like me. :wacko: :rofl:

I haven't played for about 4 days though, I got burnt out on the game. To many times getting killed by a CG or GL at pointblank range from someone I was completely unaware of.

Hey, I have a full time job. I fit my gaming around that :p Usually a 3-hour session on a weekday night, and then a massive session over the weekend.

I have been neglecting a lot of games because of me playing BC2. Damn it, not enough gaming hours in the day!

That's going a little to far. :laugh:
I speak the truth :p

I am kinda meh about shotguns. I find them clunky and horrible. A must have in a gun for me is a high RoF. I can't bear click, wait a million seconds, click etc etc.

I have played XBox version 12:16 Hours

So combined I have played 24:13

Still WAY WAY behind some of these numbers, and I am actually unemployed (not by choice) right now.

Use the shotgun perk for slugs. It's fun to run up behind a group of people and 1 shot them all in the head while they're unaware of you.

I just had the most fun ****ing round ever in Isla Inocentes! Teams were un-even 10 vs. 6 in RUSH and I come in as the 6th man. My team had a bunch of morons running around trying to get the heli and the tank and I was the only one trying to destroy the M-COM stations. With 11 tries left to destroy the 2nd com station, I do it. :D Then goes to the next area and the teams become 5 (mine) vs. 10. My team is getting into the tanks and helis to try to get over there and kill people. I go and kill people there and then again with 9 tries left I get both of them gone.

So now its the last part of the round and I get the first one within 55 tries left and then all of a sudden the teams become 10 (mine) vs. 5 and everyone just went for the last one, but I got to it and got the points for destroying it. :D Finished the round 45-19. :D The teams were **** and people suck for not evening up, but **** yeah I did it. :D

It draws to much attention though. I like being sneaky with a silenced weapon, and AFAIK you can't drop a silencer on a shotgun :rofl: But I shall try some shotgun kits out tonight. The Neostead is one that stands out.

In other news, I am finally starting to like Conquest mode - why? Because it is way more fun on a full 32 server I have discovered rather than a 16 slot server. On a 32 Conquest, **** is flying everywhere, and enemies are pouring out of random directions. Really chaotic fun. Where as 16 was kinda boring, and you could go a few minutes without seeing any action (unless on smaller maps). But dayum, on 32 non-stop action. Loving it!

You are playing the role wrong. I have so much fun playing Recon. Spotting, Mortar attacks, sneaking behind the enemy so my squad can spawn on me, boobie trapping enemy equipment etc..... Yeah just sitting on a hill trying to get head shots is boring but there is so much more the role can do.

i complete agree with you, most of the time i use other kits when i am playing recon, my sniping skills are way below when i go assault or medic :p

So I hopped on this game via XBOX Live last night and for some reason all of the dedicated servers for Rush and Conquest were ****ed up and wouldn't let me in so I tried Sqad Rush and Squad Deathmatch for the first time (achievement! woo-hoo!)

Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch are probably the easiest modes Battlefield has to offer, and I had some of my highest scoring games last night. I wouldn't go as far to say that players that play these modes are dumb, I would just say they aren't tactical at all. Most of them are snipers (or medics with scopes) that stick to one spot with every different spawn they have, to the point that you can do jumping jacks behind them for 1 minute and they'll have no clue what's going on. For some games I was playing I was even in a squad by myself and still had kills higher than squads with 4 people. It was rediculous!

Don't think I am playing it wrong, as naturally my style of play is upclose and personal, not hanging back type. I just don't enjoy it as much as other roles/classes.

Hey I am full time employed and have a daughter that I have to take to Softball practice 3 days a week not counting ballgames.

I usually play about 1-2 hours a night on weekdays and then play maybe 4-8 hours total on Saturdays and Sundays.

Good point. For me the map and how the game is unfolding determines what I play. If the enemy loves armor and vehicles I play Engineer, if the like to run and gun, Assualt maybe Recon. If they have a ton of Recon, Recon. I love anti sniping and dropping mortars on Sniper nests. Have yet to play medic.

didnt know u could use tracer gun on people LOL :p

There was an awesome suggestion a few pages back about using the tracer gun on teammates who are annoying you. Just shoot them right in the face, and the dart completely obscures their vision. I haven't tried this myself, though. Nobody has made me angry enough to try... yet :).

Is there even enough time in a game to die 40 times?

Hell yes. I am not scared of dying, unlike 98% of players who play this game. I quit shortly after that game, when I found 4 team members just staring at an armed M-COM station, all too scared to disarm it because of dying. I HATE and I really do mean HATE players that are scared to die, and worry about their K/D ratio.
