I go for bang for the buck, ATI holds that crown. It can change though, I'd prefer Nvidia though...
Yeah, I'd like some more maps.Quote:

I'm hoping that they bring back the more diverse class structure of BF2/2142 with BF3. I like Bad Company 2 and all, but it's not nearly as hardcore as Battlefield 2.
Really? I think it took me about two days (not actual play time) to start getting new guns. That was when I first started with the Assault Class, it's been less for other classes.Quote:

yeah, a lot of peeps say that as well. I'm hooked on MW2 multiplayer. Going to BC2 multi seems kinda lame for me.
My new vid card is waiting for me at the post office after work today.
I'll install it and play BC2 multi again. :)
Generally speaking the next upgrade in weapons is 3,000-4,000 points? I generally score anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 points a round which means in 2-3 rounds I generally have upgraded weapons.
Although the Recon class is proving to be a challange.
I never really cared for Call of Duty. The game makes targeting way too easy.Quote:

Upgraded weapons are usually around 8-10k if I remember. The only weapon I don't have unlocked is the Barrett because I don't like sniping. When I play Recon it's on Arica Harbor or Winter Pass with the Saiga-20/USAS-12. I defend the control points or I flank the main attack throwing motion sensors and gun people down with buckshot.
The trick used to be and I don't know if it still works is to select the Recon class. Wait there is more ;).Quote:

Ah ok :)
Well on the right maps I do ok as the recon. The other duy on Arica Harbor I found an awesome sniping spot (I got 12 kills a crap ton of spot assist, and kill assist, and never died)
My biggest issue though is getting ammo sometimes.
I've unlocked everything and haven't played much since. Everytime I try to play I end up with disconnects and long updating stats or whatever..friends list is borked, so i've been playing the crap out of DoD:S to get my fps fix LOL...had the game for years and have never really played it.
I tend to play as Assault and I always drop an ammo box on a sniper if I see one. YOU'RE WELCOME. :DQuote:

Thank you :)Quote:

I've scored probably 90% of my recon points with the USAS-12, I have north of 300 kills with it. My main maps for playing as a 12-gauge sniper are Arica Harbor and White Pass. You can also get tons of points with the motion mine, that thing really helps you and everyone around you. The motion mine has to be the most underrated and under utilized feature of the recon class. I rarely hear the things beeping running through a map, it's even more rare that I see a team member use them.
When playing recon on other maps, I generally use the T88 with a 4x scope. It's very similar to playing assault with an M14 except you have a good sight and a more powerful weapon.
I mostly find myself fooling around with the destructible buildings...
Dunno guess the novelty still hasn't worn off...
I usually end up 1-15 :p
Yesterday I saw a medic shooting while running with his machinegun, parallel to a fence.
I could tell he had great fun shooting up this fence that was fairly long.
I do that on buildings from time to time when I'm bored. It is fun ;) Same with getting in a tank and blowing everything to crap and not even worrying about enemies lolQuote:

Hate this, how can they be so stupid as to not let you see the score while respawning (assuming I am not missing something) is beyond me.
You can see it while you dead. timing is a bit tricky but it can be done. This will be adresses in a patch I think.
You can see your score when you die, you have to do it a split second after you die to see it though.
UAV VS CHOPPER!
I took down a MI-24 Hind with a UAV :) I loled so hard.
Here's what happened on Isle of Innocents I was in the UAV firing at the last base. I notice a chopper flying around completely unnoticed by my team mates so I use the mini gun on the UAV to take it out. It was an epic battle between a UAV a HI-24 HInd.
The pilot was totally pissed because he just couldn't hit me he could out fly me but I'd always get a bead on him. I even once almost hit him with a missile but missed :)
I was with my buddy at the time
He went "Nik what are you doing"
I went "Taking down the chopper!"
He goes "with what?"
I go "with a UAV"

I just wanted to type it out to see how much time I've wasted on this game. I've wasted way too much time on it by the looks of it.
my 360 stats
http://bfbcs.com/stats_360/jdc18
My stats: http://bfbcs.com/stats_pc/Nik00117
My steam account says I've played more like 80 hours.
Steam probably measured singleplayer+loading/menu times along with multiplayer. BFBCS just takes the multiplayer gameplay I think and hope.Quote:
