Mortars are the new NOOB TUBES!!:'mad:

Have not been killed by a single mortar strike yet in BF3.

As for the m320 and the rpg play a round of metro and after nothing but rpg and m320 deaths on some maps and rounds you sooner or later wanna tell those noob tubers to shove it right up their ass.

I once played a metro round and i got blasted by the rpg a couple times and after a couple rounds of the same thing i said screw it next round rpg time...so i stood by some support guy on the russian team at b and blasted my rpg at the escalators pulling eventually a 17/0

I hate noob tubing and i rarely do it but some people get right on my sh*t list on that map

But it makes it more satisfying when people are tubing the escalators; absolute carnage and pinned down; then you push through and break the line. The guys at the top of the scoreboard on the enemy team are all typing different versions of "WTF"

Go play a round of TDM on the map Grand Bazaar, its a mortarer's heaven. I went 51-8 a while back there using nothing but the mortar. All of my deaths were from the other teams mortar men.

Never been a fan of TDM but yeah i have played that map and most times i see someone mortaring away...

Funny how some maps attract a particular type of spam like Heavy Metal in BC2 for example sometimes you can't even stand still for a second without someone trying to snipe you...i could be in the game by some chance taking a crap behind a tree and headshot!

One time on the USA around Flag B I broked through the line running up the esculaters and mowed down 20 people with my machine gun... I was hoping my team would rush to capture the flag before they all respawned... but nope! They were all busy noob tubing! :'(

Normally in a metro meat grinder map I would rush a few times to try to break the line - if no one tries to move with me to win the map... I just join the noob tube party and pad my stats...

And if we happen to capture Flag B and push the RUssions back to their spawn... I start noob tubing with mortors using the esculator mortor exploit... if people start complaining - I tell them would you rather have me mortor or mow you down at your spawn with sniper or assualt rifle fire... then they stay quiet after that,,,

Recently started playing again. I'm horrible all of a sudden.

My KD ratio wasn't great before, like 1.3-1.5, but in the last few days besides one round at 1.6, I'm at like 0.5.

Part of it I think is getting used to Karkand again (did play Bf2) and part seems I always am facing the wrong way. Like 80% of my deaths are because a guy shoots me in the back and I have no chance.

Anything > 1.0 KDR is good because you are helping your team.

< 1.0 and your KDR isnt that great.

Nobody else gets kicked from this?

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Snock514' (for 0 minutes) ... Losing Key

yes but if you spend alot of time defending caps on armor maps or playing rush, or arming mcoms, your KDR is going to tank

A well played sniper is great. It's just that the kind of player that the sniper class typically attracts is not exactly a team player.

That, and the average player would be much more effective with an automatic rifle than a bolt action.

well yeah

The problem is though, at least on the 360, 1 in 10 Recons will actually use either. The other 9, if they use anything, use Tugs because they're afraid someone is going to sneak up behind them and ruin their precious streak.

Every time I use Recon, before I even take my first shot, Soflam is up, though no one hardly uses Jav, because no one ever uses Soflam so it sucks.

sure, but you find worthless support guys sitting in a corner spraying bullets away from any objective, or mortaring endlessly

or assault tubers hiding in a corner etc

It also let's you lock onto anything being lased with SOFLAM, including jets and choppers, or anything being lased with pilots laser painter upgrade.

i unlocked the guided missle upgrade for the attack helo pilot .....but how the F does it work?

This spec gives your rockets the ability to steer themselves towards a vehicle as long as they are aimed close enough. It means that you can snipe vehicles from long range with only two barrages from across the map.

In case you didn't know, the proper way to aim rockets in attack helicopters is to aim using the middle of the I-crosshair in the Viper and slightly above the I-crosshair if you're in the Havoc. Bear in mind that switching to AA missiles messes up the crosshair and you'll have to switch to 3rd person to change it back.

As a side note, I believe jets have guided rockets by default.

aaaaaaaaaah hmmmm.

wonder if guided is worth giving up laser painter

prolly depends on the team an dmap

painter is worth its weight in gold on sharqi if people bring javelins

In a way they are worse, cause you see the kill cam and the guy is just sittting there,a nd you hear that slow thump.

yes but if you spend alot of time defending caps on armor maps or playing rush, or arming mcoms, your KDR is going to tank

I often have really bad KDR games when my team points are the highest. For ex, I'll play support/recon + squad explosive when I see everyone in my squad is an engineer. I dont like LMGs and I'm not good with them because I dont use them. And recon, with the goal of spotting/targeting, doesnt get a lot of kills because you are so far back. Except on Metro, tugs can rack up points quick. When I dont pay attention to what the squad is doing is when I get more kills just roaming around as assault/engineer. But I'd rather steamroll with a squad than lone wolf it.

Guided missile and laser painter can both be equipped at the same time. It's really helpful because you can get AA's to pop their smoke with the painter and then hopefully get a missile off before it recharges.

This is for scout helicopters anyways.

Guided missiles have the added benefit of being able to lock onto soflams. Too bad the soflam hitbox is underground and they have the same amount of hitpoints as a tank....

If you're a decent gunner though the guided missiles in the attack chopper is the worst thing you can choose. By the time you lock onto something you're dead, and you could have killed it using your main cannon. TV missiles on the other hand

it must be very different on the PC but the TV missile is impossible to control on the console. usig guided as the gunner is 100% better

I'm pretty sure Zargon mixed up the Guided Missile with Guided Rockets.

yes, yes I did

I think Childs = WacoJohnnieDean?

Thanks for reviving me so many times on caspian earlier today. Had a few good rounds playing with you and expandas.

I still rage and call hacks even when I'm like 83-30.

Expandas - how the heck did you do that? Obviously not by piloting the battlebus!

Zargon - you're a good man...you took one on the chin for a bro.
