Ah, had a fantastic rampage match just now. It's so rare to get a close, hard-fought game.

I joined late, something like our team 100 tickets, their team 320, we pushed really hard, total chaotic fighting, and ended up winning by 14 in the end.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/#!/bf3/battlereport/show/44599011/1/365891337/

Notice most of my team had negative KDR. Which sucks when you're trying to hold/take flags. I will say this of them though, they weren't jacking off in spawn staring at the ground, they were giving it everything to try to take those flags, and I think any other way we wouldn't have made it. My tank is slow and can't be in several places at once, so although I can sometimes post some decent numbers, like the 52-0 last week, there's no way in hell I can win it alone. I just try to help a bit.

Anyone else had any good close matches lately? I freaking hate blowouts, I even get embarassed being a part of an epic winning team, it just feels lame to me.

I had a very close tank superiority game the other night, which is very rare as most of those games are totally lopsided. I had played 3 rounds prior to this one and my team had won handily each time. But we got the crappy end of the stick when we got stuck on the RU side of Death Valley. Its impossible to beat the US team to the flag, plus they have all the high ground. It took us a long time to take that flag and by then we were down nearly 100 tickets. However we just couldnt seem to hold it, we would get ahead by a few tickets then lose it all over again. After many back and forth captures the game ended with us only having something like 7 tickets left. I love winning those kind of games

Just picked up AK from GMG for $12. Might see you guys in game in the coming days. Are there any new choppers with AK?

LOL

The other team must have had no pilots and been clueless that stingers work wonders on the AC130.

They truly need to revert the buffs to AA/Stingers. It's so ridiculous now the amount of instant lock stingers.
No way! See the battlelog score above.^

The stingers were completely useless before. And they arent an instant lock, it takes a few seconds just like the javelin.

Has anyone had a bug in BFBC2 where the screen suddenly goes all white, locks up for a few moments, then sounds like its playing again, but you can't see anything as the screen stays white? I then have to cntr-alt-del to get out of the screen and close the game hard style. Any ideas what this is? I just did a windows and game reinstall to solve it and it came back. It doesn't happen everytime, and it usualy happens after playing for quite some time.

Any ideas?
Thanks

The time it takes to lock on to a target is only two seconds and the game is client-centric. I think what VD means is that by the time the pilot flying the jet or helicopter realizes that he's being locked on there's a chance that the guy on the ground has already left-clicked the fire button. Increasing the lock time to three seconds would probably eliminate this.

I always hear a lock tone before the weapon released warning sounds as a pilot. Granted some do come quicker than others but I just assumed it was someone trying to get me pop flares by holding the lock longer.

The mobile artillery if equipped with AA missiles seems to me to have the fastest lock on and reload rate. I totally destroyed just about any and all aircraft on Bandar Desert the other day with it, Gunships didnt have a prayer. I was able to achieve 2 service stars in no time with it after unlocking the AA missiles. I cant hit a thing with its primary arty guns though.

The chopper has the flares and then enough time to get out of dodge before the 2nd one gets fired.

Once I was firing a Jav at a tank on Caspian from the field next to B, and a heli crossed the path and the Jav hit it! Double kill of ludicrous luck Hahahah he called me a hacker, I got banned from the server, but so worth it. Was lolling for about 10 minutes.

Honestly I think the greatest fix they could make to the game would be to increase chopper speed. They are so damn slow right now.

Half of my deaths in choppers are from tanks 1 hitting me. It's far to easy for tanks to hit choppers. Increasing the speed of the choppers will also allow pilots to get away from the person aiming the stinger at this time.

Stingers should not dominate the map they should deter the air vehicles away from action. Right now they shut down the air and break the game. You go up against a team that has 5 guys on the ground with stingers and you might as well not even try flying.

This argument goes both ways. If you are flying, you feel like the whole map is filled with nothing but stingers. If you are on the ground, you feel like the sky is filled with tons of invincible choppers. (Here is where you explain that my use of the word "you" does not apply to yourself and go into great detail about how I couldn't be more wrong or misguided)

As both a ground pounder and helo gunner, I concur with the above statement.

The stingers before the latest buff were absolutely useless, at least now they are worth equipping.

Im torn about them taking flares away from the helo gunner. While in a helo I want them back, while on the ground Im glad they are gone.
