For those struggling with the assignments just got into a 1 player to start server, have a friend come with you and knock them out. That's what I did. Felt cheap but much quicker and I don't have to be annoying looking at the unfinished.

Completed all of the Premium assignments last week, the hard way. Though playing on Metro helped out quite a bit.

lol thats pretty funny,
got 4 more claymore kills yesterday only 11 to go

You can get them all in a single round of Metro by placing them on the back stairwell.

C4, mine and javelin kills I got playing Gulf of Oman for a week.

Mines at Construction Site. Usually a recon with a Soflam setup at the top of the Hotel or Construction site. Spawn on flags that are being captured by vehicles and run up to C4.

Hmmm, was the support guy using the wrong weapon?
Yep, you're right! I had to go back and watch it again, I didnt notice the first time. Maybe he took it from a dead guy or just maybe....... thats why he didnt give any ammo.....he was an engineer. :biggrin:

Hello guys
I haventy touched the game since I installed and played about 6 months ago. I just went to update and play, and now it has this weird error of opening MSWord with battlelog graphics and junk and I can't access the game. I tried going straight to the battlelog web page. I can login and select a game, but it eternaly keeps me in the waiting to load phase. Any idea whats going on?
Thanks

"Increased the M16 & M4 recoil"

Nice, I see a lot of high ranks that that only use those two weapons. Good to see it getting nerfed a bit, it was one of the quickest weapons I got to 500 kills with.

"Friendly grenades now have a different colour"

Bah, if this one is true. I like the challenge of just running away from all grenades.

So they've increased my M4 recoil, and decreased the distance of the soflam which I love for my JAV. Yet haven't decreased the IDIOTIC amount of light that a peq or tac light emits? I hate them all.

Agree! I wish they would leave well enough alone, after all the hours we've put in and are accustomed to things.... then they go and change it all up on us. :|

I do like prety much all of the miscellaneous changes except maybe the decreased SOFLAM range.

BOOO! I resemble that M16/M4 remark. :biggrin:

And we will still have to run from all nades when playing HC.

Also no more mini map on HC. Thats the way it should be, but I have to admit Ive become a little dependent on it since we've had it for so long now. I wonder how that will work with the TUGS and MAVs. :hmm:

So they've increased my M4 recoil, and decreased the distance of the soflam which I love for my JAV. Yet haven't decreased the IDIOTIC amount of light that a peq or tac light emits? I hate them all.
LOL

I love how your hatred of the tac light knows no bounds! :thumbsup:
