I can't wait to unlock the EOD bot and go for bomb arms/kills on Rush maps.

Every game I've ever played gets 'boring' without friends and creativity. There's fewer things more fun in online gaming than working with a friend to  overcome an unstoppable opposing team or come up with hilarious ways to kill people.

Players are wiser to the EOD now.  I can usually only get away with a couple arm/disarms before they actively destroy my bot.  Gone are the days when players ignore things at knee level.

Also, that huge ass transport vehicle + grenade launcher + engineer driver  teammate = 20/0 rush round.  But wft, kills with it don't count toward any vehicles.  I went toe-to-toe against tanks with that grenade launcher and won most encounters.  Insane.

The EOD bot is so frustrating to control, sometimes.

Sometimes it's a dream, but others I just get stuck in turning in circles. Not sure if it's a bug or the surface I'm on, but I just give up eventually.

You have to control it like an RC.  Lag + subtle taps.  Easy if you stay calm and plan ahead what you want it to do, but all goes to hell if you panic control.

I like how you can repair with the EDO bot, but it takes ages to do it that way.

Seems fairly fast too me, and it doesn't stick out like an engineer repairing.

You should try using the EOD to destroy tanks.  Super easy and tank is none the wiser.

Unlocked the CITV station last night. I like how I can enter any full tank as a 3rd seat.

Works as well as the SOFLAM?

I tried it for a few minutes last night. I gotta spend more time with it before I can give an opinion on that. Never used the SOFLAM either so I dunno lol. I'd think it would work equally as well though.

you've already expressed that you aren't going to order it...it confuses me why you would still spend so much time addressing a game you won't buy

I'd love to buy the game, I just don't want Origin.

What is your problem anyway Ken? You never do anything but focus that negative attitude on me every time you log in...

I don't think that's completely necessary.

I don't really get that. If it's in the game, use it. Or not.

Do you now have a big red "I'm here locking onto you" light over you?

Yeah lol. It locks on but I dunno if I have to click or change to that night vision view for it to do so.

I love how I can just jump in a tank as the 3rd seat with the CITV station and get points for locking on to vehicles + spotting + repairing instead of waiting for the tank.

Consoles need some luv.  Are console stats reflected on the platoon stats?  What if we have console and PC accounts?

Those stats only track SPM, they should go by tank kills or time spent in the tank.

Well they don't roc so you carry on being jelly.
