Starting to get a bit of a better feel for the game. Had some frustrating times yesterday as no matter which server I joined I was always relegated to the losing team no matter what. Today the odds were about even. Played some TDM and got some good kills; found the motion sensor for recon coupled with a shottie on Metro to work wonders at times, just plant it in a building and tear through the enemy, pick it up and move on.

That T-UGS + shotgun combo sounds really good actually. I think I'll try that out. Actually, couldn't you deploy an MAV and let it sit there? I'm pretty sure it has a motion sensor system too like the T-UGS. It would be more useful, although it's a bigger target.

I don't know what the MAV is, I haven't unlocked it yet. Only had the game for three days and in the past week I've physically been at work for 100 hours lol.

Plus you can plant the T-UGS (couldn't remember what it was called) in a stairwell where it's not obvious to the enemy. Or just run in just behind your squad (ie. don't take the lead) and once you're moving into a building, plant it so they get the benefits, you've got backup and the enemy is revealed.

If I am correct about the MAV also acting as a motion sensor (MAV is the mini-UAV that you can fly around, and it uses thermal vision) then you can plant it under the staircase where it won't be see and go up and clear the building.

The benefit being that when you leave the building, I like to drop it behind cover, take off and look ahead of me for targets, land the MAV and go to get those kills.

Cool.

Also, not enough people on the pubs actually think about strategy. Like if there's a bottleneck and you're getting slaughtered the general idea is to flank the enemy. Yet sometimes I find I'm one of 2-3 players trying this out of 15 people. Frustrating because you need the backup to take on 4-5 players at once.

Its the least I can do when they annoy me by killing me all round...
Always seems to be that I don't spawn at the AA when the round starts, after that its blind luck to get it. Not really worth pulling out the igla either unless a bunch of others do, or the pilot sucks. Most just seem happy to let the chopper rape them and keep ground pounding away.

Yeah, I get that bug a lot, where you have a black screen for a second when exiting, but can already hear the action continuing.
SOFLAM has it every time, although I have experienced it with other vehicles too.

Had a few spawns on TDM servers where I was "randomly" spawned in front of an enemy or three - sometimes with my back to them and them facing me. Was even getting shot before I had spawned

Because they are trying to get people to expierence the whole game as they made it.

They can at least make the experience easier on new players. Until I got air radar I constantly got raped by aircraft with air radar. Pissed me off it took too damn long for radar.

Go play Crysis 2 then.

And deal with laggy multiplayer and 12 player infantry battles? No thanks

It's frustrating for the first hour you use something, after that its blue skies... get over it.

The whole unlock system is stupid and often times the opposite of rewarding. The whole "experience everything" argument is even more stupid, because the forced progression actually narrows the experience down.
