did yo lose?

I wish there was a way to filter official Dice servers. Or make the server browser better so you could view more info about the listed servers.

I think Dice cancelled those ones with all the rental ones. Couldn't find any of them today and the ones marked in my favorite servers were gone. Guess you have to rent a server to get what you want.

350 tickets for attackers is the EXACT reason I can't explain how US fails to win (console) Wake Island map every time.  50 tickets to cap two flags while at least 8 of 12 people spawning at airfield at the start and running for the mobile AA, jets, or heli.  4 US players can cap the north and south bases, stop the US ticket bleed, and start the RU drain.

Regarding the rental servers, clever business model for Dice to simultaneously earn money and reduce overhead on the game's intrinsic requirement for Sony/EA to provide game servers.  "Let's rent servers to Jihad Joe's Clan and Pat's Platoon; then slowly shut down DICE official servers to reduce costs.  We'll give the lemmings a chance to make a 1000 ticket knife/pistol 23/7 Metro server, and they won't even notice that they are paying a 'subscription' fee for online gaming."

Man a competent squad makes the game sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!

Little bit of good times with M16A4

Probably M16A3.

Although, with the new extended mag, the AS VAL can be used really well as an assault weapon.

Using default weapons now. Foregrip isn't worth it with the reduced long range accuracy. When I'm up close the horizontal drift isn't enough for me to equip it so I just don't even bother with it.

No point using heavy barrel. Flash suppressor does the same thing but doesn't affect bullet drop and you can't be seen on the mini map.

From my understanding, the Flash Suppressor reduces recoil by 17-25%, while the heavy barrel reduces spread (while aiming down sights) by 50-75%. Personally I find the Heavy Barrel better, although showing up on the minimap is somewhat annoying.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!!!!!

The m26 DART WAS NERFED!!! Who is the dick sucking communist scumbag who just made the worst decision in gaming dev history?! I WANT HIS HEAD!! I am so pissed off. What used to be a OHK beauty is not a piece of stinking shit! I don't think I've ever been this mad. It was the perfect equalizer for USAS fags and did the up-close role that my M16A4 couldn't perform. I am so batshit mad right now I could wreck my xbox. Totally ruins the assault experience for me. Now I have to settle for some mid-range crap like the 416 or 971 instead of having both extremes.

In other news, I finally started using the MAV elevator shit after they were supposed to patch it out. Why didn't I do this sooner. Shit is so funny. Really annoying people from up on the crane in Nosehair TDM

I'm surprised nobody ever came up with a lawsuit due to the fact that this army shit has NO bitches, equal rights anyone?

Flash suppressor still shows up on minimap... Since your gun still makes noise...

Pretty sure it says in the tips on the loading screen or somewhere that it just makes it so your enemies cannot see where you are firing from, but you still appear on the mini map. Suppressor is the only thing that removes the mini map signature.
