You guys seriously struggling to fly the choppers? I really don't find them a problem at all... and certainly in terms of landing they are way less forgiving than in BF2 but I'm really not having any issues at all...

Same with jets! I'm flying through the unlocks on those too! :)

I'm at 90hours and 376 SPM my advice...play the objective, drop plenty of health and ammo, if your a squad leader don't forget orders.

Yeah, my SPM is definitely on the way up. Infact I'm generally around the top of the leaderboard nowadays. Before large rewards (medals) I'm hitting roughly 300-350 SPM at the moment so slowly but surely it's on it's way up. One great way to get my SPM up would be to play metro, but I can't stand it.

Actually hitting over 500 SPM for a few periods on there :)

With regards to air vehicles. I'm really enjoying them now, once I finally got the flares and heatseakers for the jets I flew through them, got a fair few unlocks now.

With regards to choppers, they are very easy to fly, but very easy to get overly excited as well. The amount of times I have gone nose down trying to rocket pod a tank, and not given myself enough time to pull up :blush:

Every single time, I get into an aerial vehicle, suicude is imminent

That sounds VERY familiar! :p

To be fair, i'm OK with the heli's, as in i can normally avoid death 8 out of 10 times, however i'm really not helping the team at all when i'm in one so i tend not to bother.

Thats my main problem.

If 1out of 10 times, I get it under control, I just can't do good enough to help my team and take out enemy vehicles.

When playing with one of my friend, I enjoy it a lot. He is an awesome driver and thats the only time I get some kills

^I always burst fire unless the enemy is really close to me, haha.

I've had a pretty good run just now in the UH-1Y VENOM. Both my gunners where thanking me, haha. The engie did a great job fixing the VENOM in air as well.

I have to disagree, I have gotten 6 medals, 98 ribbons, and 2 m16a3 service stars in one map, just happen to need only a few of each ribbon to finish a medal, now if hes doing it every map,then thats another story lol. Profile looks a little hackerish none the less.

But then again all you play is 1000+ ticket Operation Metro. Stat pad heaven. Anyone can do that.

As for hackers. We've seen a recent spate of hackers since the new year. So we've started to stream to GGC and enabled a plugin that will ban anyone with a SPM above 1150. That will keep the majority of hackers out.

Which gun are you using in Engineer?

Me thinks, SG553 and G36C are the best Carbines

Really enjoyed the SG553, tho use G36C due to slightly higher rate of fire. But tbh if I was just taking what I personally liked more it`d be the SG553, to me its just a nicer gun.

If you take a look at his profile you'll see that he plays on other maps too.

Not having a go, just saying it like it is. I just find Metro grind boring after one or two rounds. Playing 24/7 just seems pointless to me.

SG553 is alright, prefer the G36C if I'm honest.

Why would anyone use anything else than M4A1 is beyond me. It's just so good. Come to think of it, most of US starting weapons are amazingly good - M16A3 IMO is the best assault rifle, M4A1 - carbine, and M27 is like an assault rifle but with a larger mag. I really like how RU weapons are garbage compared to those...

CoD fools love it.

Metro isn't even real Battlefield. It's one of the worst maps in the game.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
