Man, I just actually concentrated on some conquest games, and once you get into it, its just what the game is all about. I was in a server where everyone was capturing, helping, reviving, moving from point to point and repairing vehicles etc. I averaged about 7k - 8k points per round. So awesome. Also I am rocking the MP7 which you unlock from CO OP. Once I get the extended mags for this thing its going to be beastly.

How hard is it to unlock MP7? Not sure if i wanna play COOP. Is it possible to split screen?

Are Squad perks equal to the single person form of it.

Our clan ran an internal 26v26 scrim the other night with no issues. Granted, we have a teamspeak server.

It would literally be like having an observer on your team in Counter Strike.

"He's behind the shipping crate!"

"No, not that way, the other way!"

"Okay, in front of you are 4 pallets. He's behind the second one from the left."


Seriously, if you have a good gunfighter on Skype with an MAV user in like a TDM or Squad TDM, I literally don't see how you could lose.

NOBODY in that game setting is going to be using stinger missiles or whatever might shoot it down. And even if they do, as long as your squad is intelligent enough to lay down an ammo pack for the guy on the MAV, he can go right back up in the air.

I had a blast using it last night, and I wasn't even really sacrificing any score.

In the last game I played (64 person server mind you) I would have gotten the MVP4 ribbon if there was one, and I was 0-0.

Whoever mentioned the radio beacon-thank you! Soooo awesome in the subway map. If you can manage to sprint through the other team and hide it behind them it is total rape.

Which maps do you guys think are total aids?

For some reason I hate Tehran Highway. I just think it's way too narrow and not fun at all.

For some reason I spent 2 minutes trying to figure out what "total aids" meant until I finally got it. To me, the maps on Conquest where 1 team has to cross water to capture flags where the other team can just run or jump into ground vehicles. It makes it hard on the people who die first because they have to wait for more vehicles to respawn if all their spawn members die or if they do not capture a flag right away.

I like all maps for TDM.
I haven't played Rush enough to know how the maps are different in that setting.

Tehran is ok for me if I can get into a good flow with the game. Sometimes it's hit or miss for me.

I'm not a huge fan of Grand Bazaar (the rain map), but I think it's because we played that map about 5 times last night.

But my worst map is probably Seine Crossing. Too many narrow choke points with too many angles and changes of elevation.

My computer freezes after about 5-10min playing, anyone knows what's going on? Sorry I couldn't find anything using search.

When it happens even ctrl alt del won't work, I need to manually turn PC off. Drivers are updated.

Takes about 180k XP to unlock mp7 iirc. On normal difficulty you get 8-12k XP per game. Each game takes like 15-20min. I haven't noticed an option to split screen, but I wasn't looking for one either so take that fwiw.

what are your temps under load? Run some benchmarks like Heaven and OCCT to test for stability.

I like all the maps so far, still learning good spots. I've had good rounds on all, and gotten raped too. Played a rush round yesterday where you start on the carrier and we couldn't even get out of the water because the other team just set up on the shore.

I watched a video of the SOFLAM. It looks cool, so I'm going to try to grind it out and use it when we party up. Looks like it would be awesome with a few of you running stingers/ RPGs.

I just realized that the PC version is the only version with 64 players. Good thing I only rented the ps3 version.

Hey, not sure if I did it right, but temps seem to be around 50-55 while loading and about 60 during game.

this, its absurd. Basically whichever team caps B first wins since they can just spawn trap the other team and work their way forward until they lose their home flag, then push them all the way back into their spawn. The fact the spawns dont switch when there are an entire team waiting outside of your home spawn so noone can move is pretty absurd.

Luckily i've only played it once, and i was on the team doing the trapping, its pretty stupid though when there is 1 route out of spawn, and are tons of lines of sights looking at it

you have to work together as a team. If someone has soflare the IR Flares are supposed to not work (seen it on You tube but have not seen it work). Also if you have another person that tries to shoot them down at the same time then the flares will go off for the first missle but the second one gets them. I always try to get them to shoot the IR Flares prematurely then i fire.
