Anyone else notice that grenades can now be reloaded by ammo boxes? (throw all your grenades, stand by ammo box, they come back -- it used to NOT be like that)

Its amazing how many little stealth changes they sneak into these patches, and how can they possibly test how all this affects balance in such a short time?

Uhh, I thought ammo box always replenish your nade (but not ammo pack)

Time for some of you guys to brag.
What is you highest kill streak?


Surprised mines at 15. Don't remember killing more than 8 in a row though.
35 and no it wasnt with the UCAV. It was with a littlebird while I had a couple of guys repairing for me.

My longest killstreak is 20, probably from the jet in Paracel Storm.

Had my first real issue with the game last night. Played fine most of the night, quit a game to join someone else. Seemed like it took a little longer than usual to quit, but finally went back to Battlelog. Try to join the new server and it says my save file is corrupt and continuing will overwrite the previous save. I had no choice but to click OK. So it loads the new server, but it is windowed and all the annoying "tip popups" for new players are everywhere. So I go to video settings and set fullscreen and change everything back to what it was. Game goes black and unresponsive. Have to alt+ctrl+del and end the process. Then every time after that I try to join a game, it goes to a black screen and won't do anything. Sometimes I hear the loading music, but nothing on the screen and the loading music just keeps looping. I figured I messed something up in the video settings, so I edit the PROFSAVE_profile file and change fullscreen to 0. Now it opens up in windowed mode, but every time I try to click anything (deploy, weapons, etc...) the screen goes black and nothing happens.

Finally I decided to restart (again, as I had done it before) and now I can actually get into a game. All my vehicle loadouts are gone, and I keep getting the annoying popups, but I can play again. Not sure what happened, but it was frustrating.

That is the epitome of debauchery. I'm trying to keep it PG here refrain from harsher words that will offend some thin skinned people.

I got up to 40 in the attack jet, only died because I misjudged a turn and went for a swim.

Now I am confused.. I know there was a time when I first started playing that I wanted to nade spam on Lockers and after using my initial nades they wouldnt reload despite standing next to an ammo box...

There are ammo 'pouches' which only reload a limited number bullets. There are ammo boxes which will reload both bullets and rockets/nades (and I would assume accessories like motion sensors) but I believe non-bullet pieces reload at a slower rate. Both have the same icon on the HUD and minimap. Supports start with the pouch and eventually unlock the box.

It just takes some time, but standing next to an ammo box always replenished grenades.

Played a couple games last night. The entire map looked like a giant chocolate chip cookie.

It was probably a server setting to avoid nade spamming.

I keep trying to use the 870mcs, shooting someone twice, having them kill me and going right back to my spammy friend the M1014. I don't understand pump action shotguns in this game. M1014 is a monster with the full choke at 0-30 yards.

You need to be really close in order to use the 870 effectively. Probably the only good map for it is Operation Locker. You can maybe only get off two shots before the other guy will kill you, assuming you get off the first shot.

I like the 870, but the accuracy is hit or miss.

I know shotguns dominate CQC, but I can't use one. Just love the ARs too much.

Yeah, I prefer the Carbines for all kit, but I just have a desire to unlock everything I can and try them out at least. The M1014 has surprised the heck out of me thus far. Works really well on Guilin Peak as well as some other more infantry focused maps with lots of terrain breaks.

Yeah there seems to be something seriously wrong with the game right now. I just had to quit playing because it was taking 8+ bullets full auto before a single bullet would even register.
