sniped a guy out of the havoc over army base from near B on firestorm

he was not thrilled

WOW, nice shot! Did he scream hack?

Ive only lucked up and sniped a heli pilot once. It was on Caspian, I was on the roof of one of the buildings at the gas station and sniped him with the L96 as he was coming in to strafe the Hilltop from the US base direction. He was none too happy with me either.

I'm finding that when you kill the same person 3 times in a row in this game they usually end up quitting the round.

One thing that I don't like is how with a lock on from a soflam a javalin missle will loose its tracking when a vehicle uses the counter measures. It sucks because it's not like you are able to carry more than about 4 of those.

Well, countermeasures break lock, so...

I actually had a 14 Nemesis kill streak going on Metro the other week. I was completely surprised that he never raged or called me a hacker.

You know I never really pay any attention to who kills me unless it was some "magic" kill. Then after about the 3rd one of those, I'll look on the scoreboard to see what his score is.

If you did that to me... I would ignore everyone else shooting at me - hunt you down to knife you or try to make the score even...

Haven't played for awhile and noticed two very glaring things!

1) ECM for Jets are broken or something... doesn't work like it used to anymore! :'(

2) Randomn Bullet Spread is worst? = makes the hundreds of hours I played to make my AIM better than most players useless and now makes it an even playing field for noobies...:'(
- There was one scenario I was chasing a guy accross the room shooting at his back, he jumped over a wall and shot me back (he had 1 health left) and killed me...

Ditch the foregrip on most weapons unless then have lots of horizontal kick like the AEK (most use heavy barrel) and switch to flash suppressor on pretty much all weapons.

So I finally got around to playing coop last night and unlovked the G3, is it still the best Assault rifle or has it been nerfed by patches?.. I just started using the AS Val and quite like it, so don´t know if I should switch.

AS-VAL is great as long as you fire in short bursts while stationary. It's not bad at point blank either due to its high fire rate. But it has high spread if moving/dodging/going full auto.

The G3 has a very slow rate of fire but is very accurate an has 3-hit-kill damage at close range. It's like an SKS - good for medium and long ranges but problematic at close ranges where its low rate of fire and magazine size put you at a disadvantage.

He actually was, the problem was that he was never quick enough. Actually he did finally get me towards the end of the match but still. I never thought it to be possible to kill one person 14 times without them killing you.

hmm...according to bf3stats mine is 11, although I can't imagine what I was doing to get it. The guy must have had bad luck, as I don't camp or stay in one place too long.

But does 11 mean 16, cause you have to kill someone 5 times in a row to be a nemesis, or is that 5 included?

 

[DeadFred]

BF3stats says my best nemesis streak is 13..........that has to suck for whoever that was. LOL

My best kill streak is 34, that must have been back when tanks were like a boss.

Of all the sniping Ive done (over 3,000 sniper kills) my best headshot is only 534.30 meters.....that's just sad.

WOOT! Im in the top 1% for both Ranking Score (whatever the hell that is, LOL) and Avenger Kills.

The 5 initial kills are included.

 

[QuantumPion]

My best nemesis streak is 14...I remember the round it happened. This machine gunner kept going prone trying to cover the stairs on Metro, and I kept head-shotting him instantly because of defilade fire. He kept going to the exact same spot and I kept killing him lol.

I'm top 3% for M16 and top 1% for M4A1, woot.

 

[Zargon]

no idea but mine is 14

And the pillaging of BF3 continues.

I mean, even just looking at the trailer, half the gameplay was done while suppressed, and the shooting was all twitch based crap, just spraying bullets at the enemy because the game is now COD. Close Combat Sniper? Only COD would allow that kind of shenanigans.

Looks real fun
