I think I got the m98 around level 17 - 20 somewhere, but I have only really played recon until very recently - my stats page looks rehtard because I have played like 80% recon, 18% engineer, 1% support 1% assault
im still only level 28 or 29, only just got the g36c recently .. the other two classes really don't interest me much

you sound as bad as the 12 year old kids in the game nats, they wouldn't have put a recon class in there had they not wanted people to use it
I was sniping (and cleaning up) from the main land except old mate stole my jet, so I took some pot shots
|
I don't see how people can get long range kills like teqs one. From that distance, looking down the scope it's nearly impossible to see anyone. So how exactly do you spot someone and kill them?

yeah i was the same as most people just played engineer at the start but you learn to tolerate not having the RPG
my favourite past time recently has been C4'ing tanks as the support class
the medic class is good to use because it has good range rifles, yeah it doesn't have any anti tank capabilities but you learn to keep your head down and if you survive and encounter with a tank you can heal yourself.
it gets pretty boring pretty quick if you just keep using the same class imo.
the range of the engineers carbines have been giving me the shits lately
teq you've played for nearly 80hrs and only level 29? wtf.
camping on the antenna in caspian and on the tower in firestorm would take up a good percentage of that time last edited by paveway at 13:26:24 01/Feb/12

I pretty much split between the four classes, I always play with others in a party so we're on microphones etc. I've only recently used the recon class only because I wanted to get a service star for it, most boring class i think even when im not using the long range weapons.
I use support more than any other class because i just love c4'ing everything :D

nah on that server I was watching the guy run from the hangar to the hill, could see him the whole way
M98 + 12x zoom, he's only a small dot and you're really taking a guess at where to aim because you aim so far above them and hope the bullet drops etc
I'm playing a lot more engineer these days, I still get the shits occasionally and setup my campsite but I do enjoy a good RPG fight

python, once you get the ACOG 4x scope and the straight pull bolt (60 kills with the weapon) for any of the rifles, the class becomes a lot more fun. you don't have to camp as much you can run around and own people
i love killing the majority of numpties that play the class with the 12x scope on no matter what, they stick out like dogs balls and they can't see me anywhere near as easily because the 4x doesn't give off the lense flare
once you get the acog it's like using the scout in cs, you can be mobile and just pwn

you can sit 1.3 KM away on a boat taking potshots, with your motion detector and spawn point doing fuck all as your team gets raped by enemy snipers as they try to cross the water ways, sure.
Or you can be up in the action making team progress. Taking out their snipers, providing spawn for your team and cover for your squad and being generally useful, moving up with them, defending their progress.
Nice shot though, 10x better than my 150 odd meters.

did you actually read my post? see that jet in the photo, I spawned on top of that, meaning someome spawned inside it at the exact second I tried to spawn in it
I was about to fly over and cap B then take out some snipers at C ..

i have a 560ti and i would crash a bit. think it's heat related so took off the side of my case and fire a pedestal fan at it whenever I play. Seems to crash less.

I would lower you're settings a bit NatslovR. Try lowering shadows and textures of some things like terrain.

I have a 560ti HAWK, it runs almost everything great.
BF3 for some reason causes issues with it unless I underclock it a little. I can still run max settings just slightly underclocked, I also changed the fan speed curve so that the fan runs faster at lower temperatures. Ever since slightly underclocking the card it has behaved perfectly in BF3.
Every other game it doesn't need to do that. I haven't tried the latest drivers yet tho.
