Jesus you can put up a wall of metal on Metro!

The only way to beat it is for the whole team to push one spot with smoke and supression. You have to use weight of numbers and sneak for during reloads. It not easy at all and you risk losing your home flag.We did it to them and they returned the favour. Need a tactic to counter that.
Sorry for diving out late on. Noticed the Judge had dropped out and Ash came on, thought judge might want his place back. I was beyond tired so after the first game i really didn't play well.
Sorry I haven't been joining the matches, that pesky real world keeps getting in the way! Hopefully I'll be able to join you guys at some point, starting to get a bit peeved playing with randoms. New thing that annoyed me yesterday, on Operation Firestorm, I'm stuck in a dogfight with the enemy jet, hoping that a teammate will come up soon and assist. And sure enough, I see the other F18 taking off from our base, not a squad member but still a friendly. And what does he do? Goes over the crane and jumps out! I know people like using the crane as a sniper spot, but why use up the jet to get there? Especially when there's a ladder on the sodding crane, and assistance is needed in a dogfight.
These tend to be the jet campers who do this, I got in the jet from the spawn menu and got about 20 friendly sniper rounds hitting it as I went to take off

So I made that a 2-2 draw? There was a point at the end of that final game when I thought we could turn it around at the last minute, we held two flags and were trying to capture C, the score was 20-60 ish so it would have been our last chance but it wasn't to be.
yeah was a draw
It was an interesting match, ebbing and flowing.
I found I couldn't get into a rhythm like I normally would on Oman, flitting between certain bases etc. Same on metro - it was as though the normal choke points weren't, and new ones had popped up instead. Good for learning new routes though.
Instead I pretended to be flyboy - I'm definitely getting better but am rubbish anti air - any tips?

2 guys dropped out of our game right at the end and it was 12 v 10, the second that happened I realised that we couldn't win.The other team is s
tty about us though, apparently we were glitching and using stupid tricks to in on Oman. Is there a glitch on Oman? They also whinged about jihad jeep, what's wrong with that?Comments here - http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/matches/view/...
If you want to win metro you just need to hold B and just stay there, we lost it early on in the second game and that was it for us.
Oman was interesting, I got 8 kills destroyed 4 vehicles with the repair tool. I also stole someone's C4 kill and destroyed a BTR with a grenade. Who ever that was I can't apologise, thought it was hilarious.
Did anyone else find the server lag to be crazy? I couldn't use any automatic weapons, I started using the M16 at the start and I'd get 4-5 hitmarkers at close range and then get killed only to see the other guy was down to 75% health. Had to resort to using the 870 so that I could get one-hit kills. Very frustating.

I noticed on the second game of Metro it was very 'inconsistent'. They seem to be picking up one/two hit kills and i couldn't catch a break.Again, apologies for bailing out on second game of Oman. I thought we had it and wanted to let Judge back in :-(

Dan - to be honest matches probably not the place to start, if you haven't already, friend some of us on PSN then you'll get a feel for the way we play and its definitely more fun than playing with randoms. We generally don't stick as close squads but do when the going gets tough and its useful knowing what to expect from others on your squad.KarlMac - thank you, although you didn't need to, I think it was Snafu who 'nicked' my place but to be honest fair play to him for hanging around and it probably makes sense to get players in quickly so apart from being as frustrated as hell, I didn't mind the wait.
We seemed to lose a number of players in that last game which ruined are rhythm and their air was very good. We probably missed youngsyr with his artful soflam, and Maikeeh in a plane.
Shame re their b
hing although to be honest some don't like our style, you should have seen the response when a couple of weeks back I asked for a rematch with MaturePS3Gamers, remember TripleX who is also a member on here. I had no lag issues last night, having suffered badly in the last two games.Edited by TheHangingJudge on Saturday 29th September 17:03

I was wondering if it would possible to sit back and let them come on to us and then try and flank them to B&C. If we were really clever there are a few places we could hide a couple of squads and let them breeze past, flank them and take B&C. Dunno how well that work.
Not sure what happened on Oman, smashed it the first time and then it all went wrong, we only got close when they lost two players temporaily. They seem to have a very clear tactic of fortifying and holding A and sending squads out. Several times we held B,C,D and tried to push on A which was buried in tanks, mines and snipers. No chance. As we died they'd sweep in and take the flags.
And they had a kick ass chopper up which was murdering us for a good portion of the game.
Where are people reading this glitching malarky. Sounds like they were serious try harding and arnt happy with the draw... id like clarification on the glitching. Jihad keeps are a battlefield pasttime, its was a no rules game so anything goes except spawn raping (which is prolific in clan matches re jets n helis).
Rematch anyone?
If they've got the balls.
We definately could have had em, we just fell apart a bit.
Need to react to air (and armour) threats much quicker, get them dealt with so the ( admitedly good) pilot gets bored with lock tone and decides to go lay 1000 yards away.
Really enjoyed it though, good show.
