It's not difficult - just spam 12 rounds in the general direction of any enemy you see, without aiming.

First time I did this was on the US end escalators of the ticket hall I got a triple kill, which isn't bad considering I'd only seen the one guy on the escalators.

If your target doesn't have a backstop (wall or object) immediatley behind them, aim at their feet so any "misses" hit the floor around them.

Yes and prepare for hatemail and noob messages although the famas is just as bad but at least you have to aim it.

I've been using the SAIGA auto-shotgun thing on those close infantry maps and I know lots of people are bemoaning it but it's epically good fun and as we proved last night you can rack up some mega-points if you're good enough.

Same again tonight and Friday? (Guess who's wife is away for the night?)
Sorry mate, spent last night and today round the would-be mother in laws hitting the campain with the would-be brother in law, should be back on later tonight for some carnage.

I know, I wanted to jump on for a quick game. That was 50 minutes ago and I've still got 95% of the BTK pack to download

Working on unlocking the medals keeps it interesting.

Had a go on a conquest knife only game earlier - absolutely hilarious! 24 people in a circle trying to kill each other with knives! Funny how quiet it is without gunfire and explosions.

I was on an empty server on Kharg Island last night messing around with vipers, sooooo eerie with no noises except the ones I made.

Anyone else "forgotten" how to shoot? I can't hit a barn door since the patch has upped recoil on what appears to be every gun.

The only weapons I can reliably hit with are sniper rifles and personal defence weapons, and with the change to damage levels, you as may as well shout abusive language at them with the latter.

Yup, I had the same problem until I stuck the flash suppresser onto my guns. It seems to bring the vertical recoil back down to pre-patch levels.

Had a post patch session and noticed the same thing. Like the thing the guns really needed was more recoil rolleyes

I like it, it means you have to actualy try.. I like a hint of realism, and, having shot a 12 gauge, I know real guns have recoil. Watch fps russias videos.. Recoil much?

I doubt real guns are "easy" to shoot accuarately, so why should bf3 guns be.

I know its a game, but there are other games with easier guns.

imo, it makes it worth aiming for a headshot (which it should be)

On a side note, ive noticed lots of people with the headshot dog tag, with the counter, but they have like 4 headshots. Now some of these people are high levels, why would you want to show off somthing your crap at?
Ive got over 1000 and im not shouting about it, it represents less than 10% of my total kills. Not cool in my eyes...

Not BF3 related but new Birgirpall video, that game looks ridiculous;

Also, I hear the L85 and a certain attachment combo is bugged and produces 100% accuracy whilst firing from the hip. It's like a railgun.

Ive seen a youtube video, that says its not just the combo, but also a menu glitch. I tried the combo, and its good, but not laser like the video
