E is okay but it's not very interesting and if the water's up your still a big swim from everything. In fact god help you if you're anywhere but B or C if the water's up. Yeah Flood Zone is just a bad map where no point is all that fun to fight for except E occasionally. It's just barely better than Locker in my mind and whenever I'm playing on it I'm just hoping for it to end soon.

I dunno, I like flood zone. It's a better TDM or Obliteration map, but as far as conquest goes, I like that it's varied. You can hog the bridge and go anti vehicle, defending D or picking off people sneaking around the back of the apartments, you can park yourself at A or E and just run defense until you're bored of it, or you can join the fracas at B and C and all around it until you're bored of that. If someone is ruining your fun at one spot, there's always somewhere different to go play.

Flood Zone is also a really fun map to go grab a squad and try to covertly steal E or A from the other team. Unfortunately about Flood Zone is that holding those points don't really mean much for the flow of the map.

LAV can lock down most of D & E and give a lot of help to A from the highway. As long as you control the highway, a reasonably competent team can take A, D & E. If your team has A, D, and E, it's winning. Why fight over B & C?

I agree and that's why I like flood zone so much. Ignore b and c and just try to dominate the outskirts and it's a really fun map.

the best times I have had on floodzone have been playing B and C??? The other day I went as Assault for once in my life. I was on the team attacking from the A side spawn, and lord knows no one is capping that useless point. Anyway, I sat in the darkened room near C with the M416/7 whatever and an ACOG and dominated C and anyone trying to creep on B. the ACOG gave me the extra reach to pick off the guys on the lower rooftops towards E. Usually I will roll as Recon and TUGS near C or B and just bounce between the two points, favoring C. -keeps you out of the snipers FOV on C rooftops -keeps you away from the LAVs on the highway -fast route to good cover from Helis (jump down the centre)

i feel sorry for the 360'ers that HAVE to deal with this poo poo because the map is only ABCD on there i believe, and having 3 or 4 people wasting times sniping from various rooftops is a lot more of a hazard to winning than it is with 64. Plus as far as i know they still have Dawnbreaker freeze their game as well which is always terrific. Before i got my Xbone i noticed mine only crashed on Dawnbreaker after an explosion of some kind that i was looking at. Either because i was the explosion or i caused it by destroying something even hitting something with a drat helicopter missile.

Dawnbreaker wasn't near as bad as Hainan Resort when I was playing on the 360. Hainan hard locked my console 98% of the time. Dawn breaker was a 50/50 chance for me

Hainan on 360 apparently locked the game up for people just trying to load in the map until it was discovered/patched in that you could just download the multiplayer disk and have no problems, so i never ran into that. Hainan almost has the same problem, except it's just the one rooftop and people ALWAYS sniping from those mountains on the RU side.

Strafing the resort rooftop in a warthog is a ton of fun though, so I'm fine with the idiots up there.

Is having an engineer's rockets disappear if they are killed a bug or a design decision or what? I've been meaning to ask this forever but I always forget. It's really the stupidest most bullshit thing that clashes with how everything else in the game works.

It's really the stupidest most bullshit thing that clashes with how everything else in the game works. Oh god the amount of times that's happened. Sometimes I wonder if it's lag, like your screen showed you shooting, but in actual game time the tank you're shooting at has already blasted you off the face of the map, from his perspective you haven't even fired yet. You could spot that kind of lag in CoD by the hit markers, but I don't know if it works like that in battlefield.

It happens every time though. I've probably played engineer for close to 100 hours and never seen an exception . I kind of thought it was by design. Terrible design. Especially considering there are two other classes that aren't even supposed to be anti machine, but are able to suicide spam C4 endlessly, but god forbid my rocket that made contact the second I died actually counts.

What the gently caress is with rockets striking the heli (after they have flared) and not doing any damage? It's happened a lot lately, and also happens to tanks, but I assume that is reactive armor?

Jesus is the ucav even worth it? I've got basically nothing unlocked for jets and at this rate I'm not likely to get anything unlocked. I got one hit with the gun last round in air superiority, how the hell am I supposed to get 5 kills? Trying paracel storm like I saw some people recommend on the bf forums, I get 30 seconds before getting shot down by the other team's jet lords. Ah well, guess I suck. No ucav for me!

The UCAV is pretty awesome. If you need Jet ribbons, just use the ground-attack jet on Paracel and take out the boats and AC-130s. Plenty of easy pickings.

I was actually in a 2 deep queue tuesday night when I signed on. I guess it just depends on the time you're trying to play and how many other goons you can get to give the server a population jump start.

It was maybe 4-on-4 or 5-on-5 and then the next time I checked the scoreboard it was full. Seems like everyone wants to play on Locker.

Just a random thought, but Far Cry 3 was being discussed in the PS4 thread and I posted about how I loved the game because you could do a lot of the zany poo poo in it that you can do in Battlefield games, and now I want a tiger in a cage as a map weapon that ,once released, prowls the perimeter of the map killing enemy and teammate wookie alike.

Here's a dumb trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEe4nK3t4zA There's some futuristic thing/gadget near the end. Since CoD is going to do a near-future setting you can bet your rear end is going to try to one-up them. 2143 incoming.

Please let it be true, the pubby rage will be magical Dragon's Teeth comes with a riot shield and an EOD bot that features both a machine gun and a grenade launcher. This apparently fits in with the Urban Fighting theme of the expansion but will probably be used to absolutely piss off random pubbies because EODdy was already loving OP as poo poo on close quarters maps.

I think the Aussie MLG l33T gamer dude was the best dipshit of the night personally. The people who play defuse certainly are...something, I guess. E: That UCAV thing is so hilariously broken I can't believe you can even use them in that mode.

drat, y'all are gonna make me slog out these jet ribbons, aren't you... This is gonna make me hate this game again just after I've grown to enjoy it. I was trying to unlock some of those bombing raid awards on silk road yesterday. All game there was a queue like 8 people deep at the trailer door, it was like shooting fish in a barrel for the other team. I think we were losing 600+ to about 150 before I gave up. I don't know what's worse, queuing for the bomber trailer, or waiting for minutes at a time on the respawn page for a jet to reset so you have half a chance of getting a couple minutes of flying time.

The fastest and easiest way to get jet ribbons is to find an empty server, and get the minimum number of players. Then you take a jet, land it, and have people from the other team run into the stream of bullets until you get enough kills for your ribbons. This works best with goons for obvious reasons.
