What pistol are you guys using? Been doing some pistol servers for that phantom assignment but everything is so horrible inaccurate. I want a CS Deagle

I used the M9 for the longest time just because I had the hipfire @ 100. I've been using the 1911 lately, but I'm really leaning towards going back to the M9

Same here. I liked the 1911 in BF3 but it ain't all that so far in 4, though I haven't unlocked much for it. I've taken to carrying the Shorty lately however.

I like to do a lot of swimming, and you can't pull the shorty while in the water. Big problem for water fights, so I equip the G18 on levels with a lot of water.

If its a pistol only server I go for one of the ones I have the 3x scope on. the .44 mag. Otherwise I like the g18. In normal matches my pistol is only extreme close range, or crap I ran out of bullets on the main gun use.

Damn...I bought BF3 when it came out and played some. Think I got to level 16 (M249 was my favorite gun ). I had lots of fun with the game for the time I played (under 3 months).

Now, BF4 looks awesome and fun and i'm really tempted to get back in multiplayer FPS...

Lots of folks in this thread are so negative about the game... I'm amazed. It's by far the best 'shooter' I've ever played. I play 'multi' / Conquest / On the 'Golmud Railway' map... love it.

You can add me if you want. My in-game username this week is 'Flash-Boy-Thief'. I get bored and change the name almost every week... It's been 'Wall-St-Thief', 'MrPoopyPants', 'CDO-of-ABS-FAIL', 'JCW-Mini-Cooper', and 'DFWallace' among others....

I like this game, but for some reason that is one of my least favorite maps...

I like Golmud, but the aa is such a pain in the ass on that map (and I feel odd saying this since I often grab the aa myself). Someone who knows what they're doing in the aa can pretty much single handedly ensure their team's victory. I was playing yesterday and grabbed the aa at the start of a high ticket round. I was 37 - 0 when some German tard on my team flipped out that I was 'hogging' the aa for too long and just started ramming me with his tank. Before that started, the other team had given up flying. We were something like 1000 tickets ahead of the other team.

I loved it, but I also know what it feels like to be on the other side. I don't have a joystick and can't fly a plane - only fly helos - and that is basically a lost cause if a good aa is up.

With the Scout Heli, as fast as it is, along with 2 engineers for repair and w/Stingers, and you can do very well. The key, as always, is to have a very good pilot(not me)... I jump on to repair and shoot down other choppers.

The 3 best pilots I've come across on the Golmud map, and I play A LOT....
*Struxnet
*MuchWowSuchAmaze (think that's his name)
*Iconoclastix

We'll go a whole map only getting shot down 1-3 times....

The SR338 sucks! Should be in the DMR class instead of sniper rifles. Gotta go for headshots or else its a 2-3 hit kill even on HC.

That's what I use as my main sniper rifle. It'd definitely not good for across the map shots but it works for most situations. Now thinking about it, I do have to make sure I aim for the head... maybe I should switch to something else..

It's basically a DMR except that because it's Recon only you can get 6-40x scopes for it instead of being limited to the 4x on the DMRs.

I'll stick to the DMRs and the 3.4x chinese scope. I'm just constantly frustrated why DICE keeps putting in the chevron ACOG and not the horseshoe reticle one. I'll never understand how the chevron reticle is intuitive to anyone. It lacks so much precision and takes me too long to figure out what I'm looking at. I'll take a dot or a crosshair any day of the week.

Definitely, all of the bolt actions are 1 hit kills on HC, even if you just hit a toe.

The chevron would be fine if they didn't make the thing so damn fat.

Yah, I've noticed that. On more open maps if I get in the AA people tend to stop flying. The other night I was on firestorm and had the a-10 and apache try and coordinate an attack on me. They must have been in Vent. A10 comes in steep above with locks like a good pilot. I pop AP and scoot to try and evade the vulcan while I acquire him. Pop two AR at point blank as he's pulling out and turn follow with the cannon only to see the apache dip into my view close with cannons. Obviously he had tried a pass with hydras and hit my AP. Cannoned him down two. I think they gave up at that point. Oddly they never bothered to chase me down with a tank.

That is probably one of the worst things about HC. The OSK anywhere. I could live with chest or head, but limbs at least give me a chance to get to cover.

When not in the aa, my favorite thing to do is jump in a c4'd buggy and deliver it to the other team's aa, usually by shouting ALLAH AKBAR! at the last second. Trying to level up my support skills now so I can get c4 for the class. Otherwise it's one payload delivery with recon followed by a 'now what?'

Well, c4 is the most common way I'm killed in AA. Usually while I'm focused on an air target or armor.

Had something similar the other night on Lancang Dam. I went 26-1. The lone death was from a simultaneous infantry RPG attack and the jet bombing me.

Are the other missiles viable compared to the Active Radars? I haven't touched them since I unlocked ARs but didn't know if I've missed a buff to the old ones?
