Well, I've been looking around, and I'm too lazy to read all of the battlewalker guide (it's a good guide, though, don't get me wrong ), and I have a bit of a tip that I'm not sure has been mentioned yet: Ya know how the walkers can be nearly submerged in water and not take damage, right? Well, I was messing around in single-player on Belgrade (I think it was belgrade, at least)(this is after I applied the new patch, wanted to check for any major differences), and ended up with my Walker in the pool of water by the PAC base. That's when I realized something: If you go into water like that, you greatly decreace the size of your hitbox! Think about it: normally, you have a whole walker (top,legs, hips, you get the deal) to fire at, but if you jump in a puddle, shazam! Your legs, hips, and vents are now exempt from damage and you are a much smaller target. Also, people are going to have a fun time c4'ing you. I've yet to try this in an online game (I don't end up in a walker much  :p), so I figured I would ask your opinions/tell you about it. Has anyone done this yet? To any good success?

sounds crazy enough to be a good tactic. i'll try that out on my next battlewalker run
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

It's all fun and games, untill someone brings a Pilum H-AVR to the fight, and then you lose an eye.

I can think of one map, the ramps in between all 3 flags at Tunis Harbour.

Because this is a completely seperate tactic, and not in your guide. Don't harass him for not bumping your thread, it sounds like a good idea to me.

And no one said you can't add it to your guide.

I wonder what happens if you crouch lol. If you don't die it'd be funny surprising people as a walker rises from the water and takes them out and then lowers itself back in.

  A good laugh there.

I'll have to try that out... it would make a good movie intro too.  If I ever get around to making a bf2142 video.
