Good points Si.

How about two 'formal' squads, to be the hunter/killers on the central flags. Id nominate Karl and Youngy as squad leaders for those. They can pull from the regular players, a rotating ten/twelve so there's flexibility and don't need to put pressure on match nights.

One vehicle squad - think a bit of practice for set pieces in the heli, but armour should be fine. Judge as squad leader, need to choose a pilot.

Then on match nights, we can see who's on, pick the two killer squads, assign the vehicle squad and tactics depending on map, and fill the home squad out of the rest.

That way it should be pretty easy to get to grips with getting proper targrted practice in, yet still allow for jihad ribs...
Seems legit. Happy with that.

All we need to do is get in the habit of keeping squads together and keeping at least one alive. I'll babysit some of the COD Squad if needed laugh

What, you mean getting them to play the fking objective, revive amd all that stuff - not just running around worrying about their k/d?

Brave man.

New map pack coming out soon. Sybil was telling me earlier on but details are all over the net now.

Though he said there was going to be a single shot one hit sniper pick up gun which ive already played with. Looks like the bqrret but you have to reload each time

Yep. The map was like that open desert one (no idea what it's called, think I've only been on it twice lol) but it has snow. New tanks are like hover tanks (Judge will love them). Futuristic looking one shot sniper which even takes 25% off tanks (I think) and a snow mobile which looks like it goes a tad quicker than a quad. TBH I don't think the map is that good looking, the sniper is OP and won't help with the camping while the tank is OP as you can maneuver side ways so it'll be much easier to run people over and less easy to C4 them. More bullsh!t basically, still looking forward to giving them a whirl.

Sorry for shooting off last night James. PSN was acting up with the chat party, plus I was doing terrible = a sharp exit smile

For the Clan battle setup. We need at least one in each squad to have a spawn beacon, so to make it easy I'd say the squad leader should have one setup?

The Rorsch will be a pick up weapon.

Lanscapes/vehicles should be familiar to anyone that played 2142.

Hover tanks can't rotate turret, but can side strafe and move quicker than an LAV.

Watching people like level cap and jack frags play they seem to try to stay alive in the squads as long as they can . i guess that means you can get right back in on the action and keep the fight going to the enemy. We definitely need to use that tactic.

Theres a youtube vid out showing a bit more of the maps but looks like a rehash of some of the older maps with different weather

The new maps are pretty much:

Altai Range with weather effects
Sabalan Pipeline with weather effects
Kaisar Railroad with weather effects

COD Advanced Warfare style sniper rifles and tanks

Oh and some sort of Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun Titan esque walker... in hangar 21..

That's the same as the AMR-2s that are already in the game, isn't it?

When are these new maps out then?

Should be on tonight for a couple of hours around 7-8ish.

After running around for a night of C4'ing people for a challenge I then realised the kills needed to be on the NS map pack. So the next night I done the same on the required maps while getting some dodgy k/d ratios. It still didn't work after about 10-13 C4 kills (2/5 recorded), is there a way around this or should I just accept it's part of BF?

Don't you only need 5 kills with C4? I know i did it blowing up both boats and troops on the ground. Got a lovely 3 piece with one of them. I found it a kind of fun challenge. smile

Yeh I've already got numerous kills with it, I'm saying they haven't counted. However, I do keep underestimating the blast radius hehe

Battlefield 2142 Walker smile Really hope they follow up on it. For me it was the best in the series!

server reset occuring today so i wonder if the 'fall' update is going to come out today...

edit - quick google and apparently it is, if this is true, it means Pilchard and all the others you see streaking away with massive k/d ratio are well fked
"a reduction in the time allowed between damaging other players (which will help with getting killed and trading in situations of high ping)"

and apparently CTF on all maps cloud9

Time between damaging players... If two enemies are standing right next to each other what happens?
Hopefully they don't change anything I still like about this game and Obviously I need to read about this but fingers crossed they get it right

I think everyone is having a circle-jerk on destiny nowadays.

I've personally been discovering last of us remastered.
