[Anubis]

was playing last night (ps3) and someone on canals had glitched the boat so he could drive around under the map. never seen this before, any of you PC folk seen it? im not sure he coudl actually shoot people but you could see his body glitch around and people could spawn on him and be on the map.

 

[DeadFred]

Nope, Ive never saw that.

 

[Zargon]

me either

 

[Exterous]

Well, for some reason my computer will just sit on 'Loading Map' until I hit refresh on my browser *grumble*

On a positive note getting my 10 C4 kills was very easy on 64 player conquest domination as the flag cap areas are much smaller,, its faster to get to a flag and everyone runs in as quickly as possible to get in on the cap

Find oft contested flag.
Plant copious amounts of C4
Find place to hide <- hardest part
Wait for large group of enemy team to try and take flag
Detonate C4
Hilarity ensues

I got 8-9 kills in one blast. The other team was not amused

 

[Anubis]

lol one of my fav things to do is put C4 in locations people dont expect it to be... profit

same with claymores - people expect them in doorways and such, but not in the middle of the street

I'm really not liking the new sniper rifles that they introduced. The JNG-90 sniper rifle is exactly like the L96. It is really annoying that it has a slow bolt time so that you know that you have a two hit kill but after the first hit, the person will just jump like a jack rabbit away. It just reinforces that the m40 is the best sniper rifle for med/long range as it is easy to handle, predictable drop and speed and has the best firing rate.

The amount of jumpers out there is really annoying, they really need to implement a greater jump penalty as the client side netcode really doesn't handle it well.

yes like 2 seconds.......too much 'bunny hopping'

I disagree! I like doing it so I can duel snipers out in the open.

TBH I find myself jumping more in CQB but thats more related to all the obstacles/furniture they placed. Counter here, entire living room furniture arrangement over there. Cube farm at that end, beach chairs over that way. If you don't jump when encountering those you just run against them and look like an idiot (And sometimes when you do jump your character goes through the jump animation but you just slide to the side instead of over like you intended)

Movement over terrain and obstacles is pretty terrible. It's been an issue in every Battlefield game, but I seem to stall on more ankle-height crap in this game than the others.

Lately I've seen people glide across floors and people warping/teleporting... I thought it was my card or internet connection acting up - but others on the server reported the same issues.

Lag has been an issue with the new content. Hopefully, Dice will release a server side patch in near future.

Played with a few of you on The Candy Van lastnight. Good stuff.

Sounds to me a sniper is crying because he can't troll people. Let me guess, you're the one that likes to camp on those cranes too huh??? :awe:

On a side note, why do snipers climb those damn cranes. I can say that I've never been killed by a sniper camping on one of those cranes.

I guess you never played with me.

Anyways, I love running close quarters with the bolt action rifles. The L96/JNG-90 just don't handle well since they don't have the stopping power of the M98, but they do have the slow bolt rate. The m40 has the speed of a 870MCS but the long range accuracy and power if needed.

Cool! Yeah, I've seen you around...

Nice and fun servers!

EDIT: Just remembered, TEA BAGGING is allowed on your server? I notice I keep seeing the Admin message saying somethingthat Tea Bagging is from the heart?

 

[Zargon]

pretty nice server

helpful to know there was admin on just in case

 

[Destiny]

yes like 2 seconds.......too much 'bunny hopping'

I dunno... I find myself hopping alot more on these CQB maps... its the only defense I have when someone spawns behind me and tries to shoot me in the back.

 

[Zargon]

if the game could tell teh diff between 'vault' and jump, i would be more pro jump timer, but liek someone said, in CQ, you are vaulting all the damn time

Yeah, we're a bunch of guys that became friends back in the BF2 days. So, one guy created a website then we started renting servers to play on. Feel free to join and say hi on our forums. Based on suggestions, we change the maps and play mode.

And yes, tea bagging is an expression of love to those that we kill.

Used to love shooting snipers off that crane in the middle of Sharqi Peninsula. Can't say I've never been killed by one, but I've blasted a lot more off the platforms, or shot them as they climbed slooowly up that long ladder.

I figure it's a good place for Soflam because of better vantage, but I've never seen snipers soflaming from up there either.

I go up there to SOFLAM quite often and hide somewhere on the crane to avoid getting sniped... I don't snipe when I'm up there and all I do is SOFLAM... the only way to take me out on the crane is with a chopter or kamakize jet pilot.
