You do realise the speed of your line has no relevance to the latency to the server you are playing on?

So I've been told but when I had 3mpbs these problems were not there. I got MVP1 3 out of 4 games and my average KDR was 2.5.... People did not materialise in front of me, and when I saw someone most of the time I won the head to head shoot out.

In multiplayer "Tickets" = "kills" ??????

[Glade]

Not quite... if you revive you get a ticket back for your team.

Oh and if you have the majority of flags captured the other team bleeds tickets, until you win.

Blade, as you liked conquest on metro, have you played rush at all?

I personally think rush is the best intro to the game - clearly defined roles and objectives leads to teamplay, nice balanced way to obtain the initial rankings and weapon unlocks, no pesky heli's or large amount of armour to mess you up.

Also, don't ignore playing a supporting role to achieve big rewards - throwing ammo at a bottleneck of your team is a nice easy way to earn the points of ten kills. Same for healthpacks and reviving. Lastly, setting up an lmg at a choke point is good too - even without getting the kill you'll typically wound and get supression/kill assist bonuses that add up to more points than a straight kill.

At least, that's the excuse I use for my deliberately wild fire...

Tickets are the amount of lives/spawns a team has. When someone dies, a ticket disappears. As Glade mentioned, if you revive someone before they die - the ticket isn't lost.

I got this, played it once & decided I didn't like it (probably didn't help that I was hopeless at it). What are 360 copies of this going for at the moment? Happy to let mine go cheap for a PH'er that will enjoy it.

For the first time ever, I shot the pilot of an attack chopper and watched as it dropped out of the sky like a stone. Far more pleased about this than I should be.

i was flying full chat and was snipered out of mine. Not impressed.

Maybe it was you! Operation Firestorm?

I've only done it a few times and it is great. I also enjoy a nice MBT cannon shot destroying a chopper/plane when I giggle like a little girl...

[militantmandy]

Agreed, it's deeply satisfying. Hit quite a few heli's, but never a jet.

[FloppyRaccoon]

I've hit a few jets. You need to get them when they fly straight at you firing away. They don't change their path so they can keep hitting you, which is handy when you fire back.

Yup, that never, ever gets old
I think that my new favourite game is running people over using tank destroyers. Got 8 in one game the other night

That's the main reason I love canister - pissing off heli's and jets. And there's no point having guided shell unless you're playing someone who'll jump in the third slot.

Bf series tends to alternate between new BF games and battlefield bad company games.

You could try a cheap version of bf bad company 2?

Bf4 is the end of 2013 is it not? You can get in the beta if you buy the new MoH

Yep. I've only nailed 2-3 I think but still.....

I have however had games where I've taken out 4 choppers in one game. Pretty sure the same guy kept coming to get revenge......... But flew the same slight pattern each time.....

Yay got hate mail for teabagging last night, admin on other team was nigh on stood next to me spraying and didn't hit me once so shot him then gave him the old bag. Cue a message calling me an asshole to which I replied "you love it" cue me promptly booted by admin lol.

Can't say I see the point really. Makes you out to be a bit of a dick but not worth a kicking for either.

I appear to get kicked frequently for simply having the audacity to kill admin. Or I find if I am the top player in the team then at the second base you then get kicked....

Have you not since the noobhunter series on youtube? You do it because they love a bit of bag!
