Played on a server OPPOSITE Bunnyfubbles and his buddy. Won't be doing that again.

Vietnam Rush. One round, I guess they had the chopper up the whole round, and BunnyFubbles was the pilot, because his buddy went 71/0...

So, bunnyfubbles, next time I should go sniper to take the chopper down? Medic gun was never able to finish the job....

yes, use the auto snipers - the M21 or SVD (M21 has a shorter range scope, thats the only difference). I take the extra ammo and magnum perks. They don't have muzzle flash like the LMGs do so they don't present as obvious a target for the gunner in the Huey to focus on, and they also do the most damage and have the highest damage rate to the Huey of all the small arms fire infantry weapons.

Aim for the nose of the Huey if you can (regardless of what you're shooting it with) as the Huey will take the most damage there, although when I'm shooting at it I don't try too hard to hit only the nose, but it is a priority. Nose -> main body -> giant prop circle which ever you can easily hit in that order.

Sorry you had to sit through that carnage, that team was mouthing off to us all night even though THEY were the stacked team that was winning just about every round. I guess they were just pissed that they were no longer easily steam rolling us after we joined the other side. So we had extra motivation to really lay into them. Of course they still won that level even though we went 71-0 in the chopper, thats how bad our team was 😛
 
Wow, I absolutely HATE harvest day. The first part of the match is just a mess of tanks and snipers, my 2 least favorite things in this game.
 
Oh, and there also seems to be a lot of people running aimbots out there. I see them getting banned from servers all the time.

Typically those are global bans, that are being announced on every server, not just bans happening on the server you are on.

Also, one would assume, if they are getting banned, that they are not actually playing (for more than a few minutes, anyway)...

Do they get banned as soon as they join? I see the banned for aimbot thing pretty infrequently but ive never noticed anyone actually aimbotting in game, so i guess they get banned immediately or maybe their aimbots aim sucks or something.

I used to hate Heavy Metal, now I just dislike it. It's not bad if you're in a tank or chopper, but running around on foot getting owned by tanks and choppers sucks. Playing hardcore with magnum ammo, I joined the sniper ranks...it's much better that way. 😛

Is Harvest Day the one with three bases in a row, each side with one helicopter and a mess of tanks? Grounded ship in the middle? If so, I love that one..

The thing I still don't get about LMGs is how every game seems to have one or more people in it who can let rip with long bursts from halfway across the map and kill me every time. No ranging shots, no misses. When I try the same thing I have to squeeze off short bursts to keep the sights on target, and I never get a kill with the first burst. Probably either lag is making me thing they are doing something they aren't, or they are getting some stability enhancements with rank... or something.

Same here. Hardly ever used them. They have terrible handling and I do not get it how to use them and yet I get killed so easily by them.
But they are more like a second row weapon and not for direct attack which makes them rather unsuited for my playstyle.
40mm Shotgun, love it especially when enemies camp cramped up together. easy to get double kills with 1 shot.

I hate heavy metal. Harvest is a little too open but else I got used to it. Most snipers hit shit over distances unless you stand still and if you are closer, M16A with 4x scope >> than like 95% of the snipers.

I go assault or engineer. Sometimes when team is winning I snipe the other snipers. There are some cool spots no one ever looks at but nto easy to hit anyone from there. 😉

BTW:

How do I change seats in vehicle?Eg. if it's only me in a tank, how can i access the machine gun?
(this is possible in ps3 version a friend has)

No, harvest day is one of the new maps. Or at least, it's new to me, I haven't played this game in months. There's no helis in it. It's the fall one with lots of fields and trees, and there's always about 6 tanks in it at a time. The thing I hate is when you're on the attacking team and everyone on your team is either a sniper, or sitting in a tank at your base spamming shells over the hills. No one bothers to take out the enemy tanks, so if you try to arm an MCOM, you just get tore up. And taking a tank out on your own is impossible.

That map is significantly better on conquest, actually all the new maps are now that I think about it. However on defending sometimes you can get lucky with a tank that just stands still trying to shoot the mcom and you can take him out.


My only big annoyance with heavy metal is that I find it annoying difficult to try and tag a heli with a tracer these days. When so far away and moving it's hard to get the direction right.
 
I'm getting kinda put off this game. Every server I join, I get stuck on the team that is getting raped. Ever game I've played the last couple of days has been completely one-sided, usually with me being on the losing team. And it seems that teams don't get shuffled when the map changes.

I guess maybe I just haven't found a good server yet. When I played COD4 I had a couple of servers that were my favorite, and I really only play on 1 server in TF2.

I just got the tag for 2 days of playtime yesterday, thought I had played more than that.

it is pretty fun/crazy on cq!

I just tried conquest earlier and the few servers I tried, the team I was put on was pushed all the way back to it's base and was getting destroyed. I did manage to take out a tank or two, but it was pretty much pointless.

You are referring to Atacama Desert in Conquest mode. That is a great map.
Harvest Day in CQ mode has four bases to capture that are stewn about the map. That is a popular one from BC1 that was part of one of the later BC2 map packs.

It does seem like this is the norm these days.
