I spend a reasonable amount of time playing engineer and I rarely ever use my gun - too busy driving, flying, repairing, mining or firing rockets! smile

The only reason I can see why you'd be worried about your gun as an engineer is if you're trying to unlock the carbine medal or dog tags for the carbines.

If you really want to get involved in taking out infantry as an engineer, I find the .50 Cals on the vehicles are pretty handy. wink
You've damn near cost me another controller over the past few days: thought I recognised the name! biggrin

Anyone spot the 100 star Colonel on the PH server tonight? I don't even want to imagine how long he has spent playing the game.moan
Yep, saw him. Stan_GTI I think his name was. Didn't matter where I was on the map, he found and killed me within seconds.

FFS.

Ha, thought he was stalking me personally! His personal massacre did slow down when I started putting down claymores behind me... hehe

He was also bombarding me with messages whenever anyone used the m36 glitch...

Ended up kicking a few people for it, but once explained they both came back without using it.

I think we're coming up to the end of the first month. Think its worth keeping?

If so, I'll start a new thread to figure out how people can contribute so my missus doesn't chew my ear off!

Good idea. What's the cost? I'll happily put a few quid in - get a thread going

Pah, throwing the towel in early.... Can't seem to hit st tonight and plenty of people seem to be killing me with even having line of sight. Was getting super pissed off so turned off before I burst a blood vessel.

The only thing I killed people with today was the rpg, the m4 seems to have no effect and the pp2000 runs out of bullets before it becomes useful. Plus aiming... I just don't have the control how do people do it? I seem to fighting big dead zones in my controller and often end up overshooting where I want to be.... That or fine movements are jut far too slow and I'm dead before I get my cross hairs anywhere near. Guess its just the age old console controller being a bunch of arse at first person shooting.

The more I play this game on ps3, the more I want to buy a new PC to play it on there, I know I'm better at fps than the ps3 allows me to be.

Same here, maybe paypal to you? Can you top up the number of days the server is rented for or does it have to be a new one?

I'll setup a new thread, but at the moment I don't know the rental mechanism fully. It may be that I can refresh the rental of the existing server, which I'm happy to do. Or may need to setup a fresh server each time, in which case is suggest us all chipping in for an extended rental to save the effort...

Bit busy tonight, but I'll get a thread running in the morning...

You can extend the old sever up to a myth after it's expired IIRC

Does the PH server play any non-hardcore games? I'd love to join in but can't stand HC mode in Battlefield.

No dude, theres loads of dead spots and sluggish aiming movement for me as well and im using a 'gaming mouse' for the PS3. You cant make small circles in the middle of the screen and you can 'feel'/see it jump up by pixels in a sluggish way when you try and fine tune your aiming point - sometimes its easier just to move you whole body.

Ill try and shoot some video footage to show people what i mean.

had a few good games today... but had some terrible hit registering issues. Also I always lose connection on the very first game I play of the day. Dunno what it is, but without fail, 10 mins in I get dropped. This happens every time, so I resort to playing on any old server and just putzing around until it happens!

Anyway today:

Full set of rounds from a 870 shotgun, to a guy standing about 5 ft in front of me. Didn't hit a single thing. Thankfully he was worse than I am and I got him with my pistol.

2 RPG rounds went straight through a helicopter I fired at. I.e. they simply no clipped straight through and out the other side. Both should of been cock on hits.

Guided shell in the tank... Only just unlocked it, only got to use it once, and that one time it locked, fired and nothing happened.

Snuck up behind a guy with the A91 or whatever it is, started pumping rounds into him (single shot mode)... 4 shots in, he turns round, gets up, switches from his javelin to main weapon and takes me down quick as you like. Absolutely gutted. I shoulda knifed him, but lately people seem to be having sixth senses about that and spin round at the last minute to kill you.



Should I keep the guided shells equipped on the tank or are they useless? Should I just keep the coax gun?

How do you unlock the CITV station? is it one of the tank unlocks?

Good games tonite, had a few Magners and was struggling at times, and my dog kept attacking my foot.

On a side note I found this,
