Yep, always best to have a squad of mates, all using different specialisations.
Speaking of unfair team balancing, had a good game on Damavand last night, on a server which had the stupid rules "No shotgun, C4 or Javelin or instant ban". So naturally I ran round as a support with USAS-12 and C4. Although the instant ban never came, instead the admin switched so their mates and better players went on their team when they were winning. And yet somehow we managed to turn it round and kick their arses. One of my mates joined the game but got put onto the opposite team automatically when he joined, I C4'd him in a tank, and we had a good laugh when he got switched over. Had a few more good games on that server on Canals, each game I ended up being 50-odd for about 24.

Mastodon2 said: I had a game on metro just like that yesterday, 1500 ticketer and I was trapped by spawn rapers, my team couldnt even get to C - that was a clan, and their admin cherry picked the highest rank players off my team and swapped them over. I was on the winning side when I joined the game, but was quickly "Killed by admin" and swapped onto the losing team to put all the clan members and everyone else of a high rank on the same team. Metro is a brilliant map but imo the Russian spawn is a much worse place to be trapped than the US one - at least in the US one you can move out into cover and snipe towards objective A, in the Russian spawn you cant even get to C before getting trounced by campers. I'd say there's more cover at the C end than the A end - A is overlooked by buildings, from which the enemy can actually see you spawn and track you all the way to your cover. There is essentially a 50m No Man's Land between your spawn and A, albeit strewn with bits of cover. At the C end, there are many more routes out of the spawn area than most people realise. You can use the side rooms, platforms/trains/tracks on either side or central rooms to try to break out and in most of them you're hidden from the enemy for at least part of the route. I don't generally find it a problem breaking out of the C end, the trouble comes when I try to take B on my todd as none of my random squad mates are backing me up and several of their enemy rush to the flashing icon - it's tricky taking out more than one person at a time in a firefight.

Probably not good enough to be bothered with I usually play for 30-60 mins at a time, rather than full on sessions. It can easily take longer than that to find an acceptable server (not even a good one), so just isn't worth the annoyance anymore, for me.

Some of the best games for me have been in Metro, real end to end stuff where the teams are full of people who work together and flank etc. On one such game we were defending an mcom near the long corridor bit by the ticket office. I set up an LMG with 200 round clip and bipod at the glass room at the end of the corridor and protected my right flank with claymores and some clever use of cover. Every so often people would throw me health and the occasional revive. Result was that as they stormed the corridor I could absolutely rape them with sustained fire, anyone who tried to shoot at me from the side ended up hitting my cover and anyone trying to flank me around the cover ended up claymore'd. I also had a great view of anyone who sneaked through the net and made it to the mcom, as they stood there arming it I mown them down. Ended up with a 27 kill streak from that, very happy. It contrasts greatly to when I joined a game today, aquired a tank and turned a corner to find an enemy squad. I had only got one shell off before I was killed by admin (one of the squad I bumped into) who then stole my tank and used it to kick our arse. Sent him a message about how  s like him ruin games and I hope his fingers fall off

Is Battle Feed down for everyone else?
In other news, know what you mean by sustained LMG fire. We were doing Conquest on Grand Bazaar, having just taken A we tried going for B. Most people went straight down the centre and got bummed, however me and my squad went down the alleyway, removed the 3 campers sat there and set up, two to fire towards B, two to cover. Helped me get the Bullet Provider dog tag, as I got the Pecheneg with Extended Mags and Bipod, and set up shop to the side, so I could stand while firing, but had a clear line of sight through the door, across the alleyway and into the opposite door, behind which seems to be a favourite camping spot for the other team. The result? 34-4, however at one point I was 20-0.

Ok, I have paid my money and now I am a PS3 Premium player. Doesn't seem to be of benefit right this instant though!!

Joined two different games on Wake Island last night and was getting absolutely raped. My team was half filled with mongs who kept destroying the jets on the aircraft carrier.
I don't see the point of premium personally, I didn't want that CQB map pack so part of it would be wasted on me. I'm not bothered about a special emblem under my info when I kill someone, a few extra guns, or gun camos.

Just been doing well for a change on metro. However, I was using a p90 and I attracted the attention of an admin who sounds about 12. He sent me threatening messages and said no p90 on that server. I carried on and was then informed that I would be banned. He then sent me a foul voice message calling me a mother f ker and said f k about 10 times. I've now been banned from the server  Incidentally, does anyone know if Xbox respond to user complaints? His language was terrible so I filed a complaint. Not that it will do anything. Idiotic tossers.

One of my friends has been banned several times after people complained about his "passionate" style of talking to the opposition when playing Fifa or some other football game.

Jasandjules said: Got Close Quarters now, nice and fast but seems awfully laggy?!?! Hmm, not sure about that. It is a busy time though, double XP week has got the servers booming. I went from rank 39 to 44 in about 2 hours this afternoon, power levelling on Ziba Tower conquest domination, 30,000xp + awards per match is easy, so you can be looking at 35,000xp per match even if you aren't amazing (like me). The MVP in one of the matches I was in finished on 100,000+xp!

Well my internet speed was down below 1mbps before I had to go out today so perhaps that isn't going to have helped me much!!
Still, I will try to get another hour or two in tomorrow before I have to get some work done!

Finally got my internet speed doubled, fingers crossed it'll reduce the lag.
Is Battle Feed still down?
