Xbox chaps,

What weapons are you guys using the most for each class? With what scopes and attachments? I can't seem to find a gun I'm comfortable with.
Assault - M16A3, Holo Sight, Heavy Barrel, No 2nd Attachment

Engineer - M4A1, Holo Sight, Heavy Barrel, No 2nd Attachment

Support - Any weapon. Just hold down the trigger and don't let go until you have to reload.

Recon - fk sniping!

These are probably the best all round guns in each class.

DICE tweaked the attachments with the newest patch so you have to choose ones that suit your playstyle.

If you like to hip fire and spray a lot then go with Foregrip and Flash Suppressor.

If you like to ADS and fire in bursts then use the Heavy Barrel with NO foregrip.

Enjoy smile

Who is Dobbin84 or whatever? bd killed me like 4-5 times in a row! and he refused to die when 3 guys (inc me) were sprayin' and a prayin' at him on siene crossing!

Was a good game though, dunno what the people on the RU team were doing though... one guy got in the tank and just parked it outside C and what shelling the st out of the little alleyway leading to it. I bet there wasn't even anyone on the other side!

Kept killing myself with C4 as well... must remember to sprint further away from vehicles, but I get too nervous about them turning round and killing me before I can detonate. Dunno how but I seem to get done with C4 all the time, yet when I try it they see me coming from a mile away!!! Also today I got done by a tank shell on Siene and he was no where near me... he was down on the road by point D i think, I was all the way up the stairs in the alley way leading down and I got killed... no line of sight, nothing and I wasn't even near the stairs. Not sure how that happened, and I got sniped through a brick wall which I guess is the glitchy hit-registering. He shot, I moved well behind a wall, then I died.
He is a PH-er. Some good games last night. Nice to see the server full, last two days its been empty then suddenly have to queue to get in. Happy days.

you're gonna need him on your side fer sure...

I got a new controller last night and it seems to be improving the lag i was experiencing - prob co-incidence but felt good to get a couple of 11-1s and positive KDRs'

I reckon TDM with 300 tickets is about right, 100 feels too short now and 500 is too long....

I need to get on the PH server to try to get my last three ribbons...grrrr

He uses a TV/Video Recorder and then edits on Mac.

I've had dobbin be glitchy as hell too: Many, many hits registered and no death, followed by 1-2 hits on me from an SMG and I'm dead. If I didn't know better (or believe the best in people) I'd swear to god something fishy was going on with him.

You nailed me a couple of times too with your bi-podded LMG hiding in the windows across the street!

Definitely PS3 player and he had PH before his name so he must be around and unlikely to have anything dodgy going as its PS3 (pretty locked down). He is a good player who's better at aiming than I am!!!

Yep, played with dobbin plenty of times, no funny business for sure.

Just one of those things. I've found lmgs are bloody useless post patch, think the damage inflicted multipliers have been tweaked so good shots are required for a kill and not wound - I've had multiple hits only to be killed and see I've only inflicted 20 points damage as I've been shooting at feet!

Part of the issue with the kill cam is that it shows the health of your killer at the instant you died. If some of your shots landed immediately after you were killed, they are not taken into account. You can see this on the odd occassion that your killers health bar is shown on the kill cam - sometimes the bar shows only 30% health but the kill cam stats show 75% health.

Flash Suppressor seems to be the must have for those of us who can't shoot straight with LMG.

LMG's are hit an miss it seems regarding kills and it seems how good a connection you have to the server.

However, ive found the UMP to be way to accurate, way to over powered and better at all ranges when compared to LMG's. Only advantage a LMG has is its bigger mag for us sprayer an prayers smile

Well I can't hit jack at the moment.

I'm not the most accurate person at the best of times but unloading nigh on a full clip into someone only for them to kill me with two handgun shots is getting a bit silly furious
