aww gay, I used that flash to know when loading was almost done. Serious, I actually found it useful :(
Hopefully this turns everything green & black, maybe I'll hit stuff then.

Usually it just means they've taken out the reliance on using red and green to tell things apart

So client Release 7 and Server Release 10.
I managed to score 12054 points yesterday. What is the highest other people got? I was close to getting much higher as the end of the next map I scored 2 more of those 5000 point medals :(

The team LOVES when you take recon and actually get up towards the front lines and spam your motion sensor nades. It can really help co-ordinate the team as people tend to cluster around the enemy that the motion sensor reveals.
I've also been using assault with the smoke launcher and grenade vest and spamming smoke nades behind the enemy front line and that usually nullifies most of the snipers on their team.
How much better are the engy anti-tank unlocks, I'm still using the first RPG is the CG better or a more different s?

Could have been UAV kills as well. I've seen a few guys getting 40/0 and they've all been using the UAVs.

This is a really good break down of the weapons:

Joining them from the main search thing still works though. No EA connect problems either.

In the region settings there is the usual options for North America, South America, Europe, Asia .. Antarctica..
There is a region for Antarctica but no Australia region, there is Oceania though, but still.

I don't mind spawn delay because I usually take the time to adjust my classes to get rid of campers with launchers or switch to mortar or whatever. That's a feature I'd like to see in more class based games *cough* MODERN WARFARE I'M LOOKING AT YOU *cough*. The ability to change your class without exiting the game or server is awesomesauce, no idea why more games don't do it that way.
Posted 12:15am 22/4/10
Was piss funny tho :)
Tracer darting the UAV should be an award in itself...
First time I did it, got "tracer plant blah" an then the game s*** itself to desktop.
FYI: ATI have a hotfix driver for load times in case you missed the memo

I cant search for 3FL servers though, never could. I can search for GameArena, but not 3FL? Meh, the Oceania tab is mega useful anyway.

Random spawn freezers, had to re-config my video settings, connection drops.
Also, the "balance" with gun damage they thought they fixed, they didn't. They just made the OP guns, s*** and the s*** guns OP. -.-

30k+
there was a bug in the early in the retail release that accidently doubled your points for bronze/silver/gold/pins/tags if you died immediately after gaining them.
that game I got my platinum for my knife and died on the spot = easy $20k.
the bug popped up again last week when I did my gold on one of the random assault rifles but no more double points :(
anyone know ifthe M1 stats are fixed yet? There's a couple more rewards for having all bronze weapon and vehicle awards but it won't kick in until they fix the darn thing @#$%
I had the same problem. I went into my 'gamesettings.ini' and set the following at the end of the file:
Server browser works 'mostly' fine now. Strangely I can't see my own server - though I believe that's something for Hypernia to sort out.
Posted 07:59am 22/4/10
My highest in one round was 14.6k
I don't think there was a bug there either.
like 2 gold stars and a heap of "7 kills this and that" badges.

The AA gun: Still incredibly broken, persists to cause far too much flight path shift when hit, though it is substantially less than what it was, it should not do it at all given its ridiculous firing zone.
Needs: Vertical firing restriction like BF1942, currently there is no benefit for being a skilled enough pilot to be able to fly the chopper at street level between the buildings and between the power poles etc. or flying two pixels off the ground.
In fact, flying low just puts you more at risk of being tank shelled or accidentally clipping the environment.
Flying extremely erratically if there is a person on the AA with half an aim is also virtually pointless.
Remove the flight path shift and all would be fair as the AA's damage is still very high.
You are however, rewarded for camping... i.e. hovering over your spawn area and just spamming across maps with V ALT WEP
M416: The new M60.
M60: Added recoil, added spread, damage appears to be reduced slightly. Far less people spamming it all over the place.
M24: Appears to have damage reduced at close range (with magnum ammo), it's drop off of damage over distance appears to be much sharper than before, it maintains one shot head shot kills at all ranges.
M95: Haven't used it since getting platinum and haven't tested it yet.
NS2000: Still broken, take 12g slugs and extra ammo and 1 shot out snipe the snipers to your hearts content with a double barrel shotgun. This weapon is incredibly broken and will become the next buzzkill when people start working it out.
Carl Gustav RPGStill think this needs a huge nerf to damage against infantry, or some huge penalty for wielding it like its rocket arena 3.
M1211: I haven't used since the patch, I had 5 or 6 golds with it before, now using the automatic pistol thing, that thing is awesome, its like having a machine gun as secondary :)
Punkbuster default ON: Thank god, the trend of being head shot through a forest and through buildings two seconds after you spawn seems to be far less frequent.
Server Browser: This is the minimum it should have been on release, at least it has a lot more functionality and returning server queries is a lot faster since it's not trying to populate every server overseas.
The tweak someone mentioned has pushed my accuracy with the sniper rifles from 41-42% average to averaging around 55% per session.
It either did something or did something as a placebo :)
And finally, the new FOV enforcement in vehicles is really, really annoying.

When follow-caming a tank and you can see the machine gun turret moving very smoothly the server isn't laggy, if it is all jerky then the server is laggy.

Especially when you're a sniper. One person spots you and you're f***ed. Even if you try to run back in to the bushes you still can't get away from somebody with an MG or a tank just spraying the area where your spot marker shows.
IMO it should only show a marker where the player was LAST spotted - not follow them around for 30 odd seconds.

I used to be able to shoot someone then finish them with a pistol shot, but now it takes 3 pistol shots.
Unless they made the M9 weaker..

Snipers are super super easy to play though, especially on hardcore mode.
