so far 24 hours into the game i have 61 Marskman ribbons and 96 Sniper Rifle ribbons
I'm glad I learned how to FPS on BF2, because it makes for some funny encounters when I out-shoot people over distances because they're too busy hitting the ground in front of me.
Also, it just me or is the UMP horrendously overpowered compared to other kit weapons? I thought the 416 and the AEK use NATO rounds, which should be stronger than 0.45 rounds that the UMP uses?
It is completely overpowered but you have to remember that this map is a close-quarter combat zone. Big zones pretty much even out all guns, for example the PP-2000 in bad company2 if you play Team Squad Match which is very close combat zones, 2 shots from that thing will kill anyone. I always feel sorry for 12 year old kids who come into battlefield games thinking they're going to quickscope like they do in MW2.
Yeah, this is why i liked bf over the cod games just cause it prioritized realism over silly things like quick scope.
BUT THERE WILL BE QUICKSCOPING IN MW3 LOL
Okay, just glad it wasn't only me. Ever since I unlocked the UMP I've been killing people left and right in CQB.
me with an ump
me with a SV98
How are you playing dn? Are you camping mostly, or are you being more active and staying long range, but moving around every few min?
I would imagine mostly active, close-mid range, with tactical positioning. At least, that's how I played with the UMP when I achieved similar scores.
I adapt to the other teams strategy but i start out with some tactical positioning, if i notice them to actually have skill and very offensive then i stay long range and move after their kill cam vanishes, I have noticed people get angry they just got killed and go after you for revenge. If they are being very reserve and notice them camping a lot I go very active and attack their base of spawn, this applies to offensive and defensive sides.
When i go active and go cqb on them everything goes, knifing + hand gun. Plus i always play with the 3.4X scope, helps with the ADS in close combat.
There's a few things that bug me. Mainly the lack of in-game server selection and squad management. But also that you lose all progression if you DC, which I sometimes for no reason randomly do. I can be in the middle of a fire fight and then suddenly get a "You were disconnected from the login server". Sometimes I get disconnected soon as the "Your team won" or "Your team lost" screen shows up. You know, as soon as the screen flashes white. Which kind of sucks, as I even then lose all progression during the battle.
Edit: Let me correct myself; I still keep the score. So if I rank up during the fight I keep the rank. I just lose all kills I did with weapons, as well as kit progression.
Fucking hate the UMP. That thing is responsible for more than half of all my deaths. Sprayers are really getting on my nerves too. "OH GOD I'M BEING SNIPED, SHOOT EVERYWHERE!!!!!!" and somehow they still manage to fucking hit me. Swear I've been shot through rocks and from angles that make absolutely no sense. But beta so hopefully they'll fix that so idiots like that don't get away with it.
Sorry for not actually contributing but LOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLL that vid
Seriously lost my shit when the gunshots went off. lol
lol On a brighter note, getting better at sniping. Huzzah! I had 3 of the most perfect shots today. Really hope they implement replays. Using bullet drop I got a sniper all the way across the fucking map that was just behind some rocks. Then defended an object by myself whilst on those steps with the lamp post all the way at the back of the map. Shit was cash.
Now if only we could get rid of these fucking CoD fags. I've always been a person that like CtF and objective based multiplayer so I've got a bit of an edge over the other idiots that are new to the BF series. Seriously it pisses me off when we have like 4 snipers in the bushes 5 fucking feet from the objective and they're not even trying to go for it. wtf is that shit.
i hate not being able to squad with friends. Been playing with retards that dont care about planting/defusing bombs and all they care about is to have an amazing KDR
