It's officially I hate the AN-94, such a noob gun to me, way too easy for me to kill people. I like a challenge which is probably why I've been using the F2000 and yet it not that bad, especially for cqc with magnum ammo, the rof is so high you get the jump on most people.

Also I'm not impressed with the M16 just feels clunky and slow to me. And not very accurate either. Maybe I just need to use it more, but I find either the F2000 or the M416 are just much better weapons.

Not sure when I deploy my parachute while falling I still die...seems illogical to me. Don't want to hear the excuse that you are going too fast.

Lag most likely. I've had it happen to me in the past as well.

Also this goes back to the extremely lame bug of a rocket disappearing when you die. Today I placed C4 on the M-com started running away. Got shot and killed, revived literally 2 seconds later...and my C-4 is totally gone. Lame. Should at least stay planted whenever you placed it until you respawn, so incase you get revived you can make things go boom...I'm sure that wouldn't be a hard fix.
 
I figure if they were blown up would have given me objective points, 6 C-4 on one Mcom is usually 150 or 200 points. I got no points, saw no explosion. Nothing.

On a cool note me and another guy on that same map stabbed and killed each other at the same time. I didn't think it was possible but apparently it is! We both got a kick out of it.

And also after I was revived I got more C-4 from an ammo pack, placed it, ran like hell out of the building, blew the C-4 and got a quintuple kill(5 at once! HA!) and destroyed the M-com it was like almost 800 points total from one explosion! 😀

some dude started yelling at me for being a CG noob

dunno why he was so mad, I got a suicide for it, but he came around a corner was I was and bam hes right in my face, the stab animation started so it was rocket him and suicide, or let him kill me and keep fighting.......



same server on rush pat I of isla innocents, I dropped a helo onto a group of guys apparantly, ended up with about 500 points for the multikill + vehicle damage + vehicle destroy

This reminds me of a recent incident. I'm running around with a CG over my shoulder and I come up close on a guy. He's so close, if I shoot the CG, I will kill myself, so I try to switch to the UMP and accidentally get the tracer dart as he sees me. I trace him, then I am dead.
It happens quite often that I get caught with the tracer in my hands and shoot soldiers, and they are still alive by the time I respawn and I get my revenge. Happens here too, I lock on and shoot the CG from somewhere across the map, and I get him... Kill...100 Points, but wait! It's like I'm in Vegas! +100! +100! +100! +Multi-Kill bonus!

I was imagining his whole team standing around looking at the glowing orb on his chest! He was alone when I last saw him! I don't know what they were thinking...:awe:

I traced a guy on accident in that round too, but he didnt live long enough for me to get payback, I assume the glowing tracer warned my team where he was 😀

but yeah been there done that, its just a big DOH when I realize I just tracer'd his face
 
New server version out tomorrow?

Message From Rackage Telling Us Our Server Will Be Updated To R17 Tomorrow.

R17 all being well will hit your servers in the morning, so yes your servers will go down some time between 6am and 12pm Friday 23rd July, Sorry in advance if it clears the server but the good news is they have fixed something else they broke in a previous patch

on top of this is the whitelist so you don't wind up on a cracked/modified server by accident.

anyway, below is the blurb from Mr Kalms at DICE.

· Infantry-only mode is bugfixed (some vehicles would still spawn on a few maps, this has been fixed)

· DICE is implementing an IP whitelist. The main purpose for this is to ensure that regular players don’t end up on servers where the scoring has been modified, or which claim to have PunkBuster running but allow people without PunkBuster to play. When your upgraded to Server R17, you know that your server’s IP is on the IP whitelist.

How do you lock on with a missile? I tried using the RPG or AT, zoom in, center the red box and...nothing. I thought that was how you were supposed to do it.
 
you basically zoom in and wait until the numbers show up indicating how far the target is away. then you're ready to fire and forget. i usually fire up into the sky so that no obstacles in the way block the rocket.
 
I've killed myself a number of times by getting a lock, then quickly shooting up into the air...and hitting a roof over my head.
 
New Battlefield Blog Post: PC Industries gives you BFBC2 Mythbusters

* BY: zh1nt0

Can you break glass with a defibrilator? How about flipping a tank over with your UAV?
Haven't had a chance to try it out?

PC industries sent me their Mythbusters videos on twitter and I was instantly hooked.
The creativity and amount of work they have put down in these two videos is great!
The mythbusters videos are a small guide to different cool stuff you can do or try out in BFBC2.
This is so great I decided to post it on the blog.

Question for ATOT BC2 Braintrust - how the hell can I get more roadkills!? I have some, but maybe 1 out of every 10 times I think I nail someone they actually die. Most of my attempts have been with the Hummer/Russian equivalent. Yet, somehow I have one with the patrol boat lol. Any advice? Im trying for those damn pins.
 
As mentioned in the Mythbusters 2 video, in the quad, you have to hit them with the tires. They'll pass right through the center...

Or use the Humvee, it is just as fast as the quad. The drawback is, it's an easier CG target.

I saw a guy today advising using the HumVee on the second stage of Arica Harbor Rush. It just fits between the railings on the stairs, leaving victims no room to escape...
