It also helps to not fire until you are fully ADS because otherwise you're just hipfiring through a scope and that accomplishes nothing. CQC doesn't matter as much because with an Ergo on it you can just open up with the M249's freakishly accurate hip fire and tear them to shreds. A suppressor keeps you off the minimap so you've got a few seconds and 200 rounds to clear them out before they figure out you're there. :getin:

With LMGs you're probably going to lose every head on confrontation where they know you're there, but if you hang back and let someone else take point you'll be a highly effective cleanup crew as they eat the bullets intended for you.

I doubt it. I'd still be playing Air Superiority.

I seriously had to grab a buddy and head to an empty server in order to get the jet ribbons for the UCAV. Even when he deliberately set himself up in front of me so I could shoot him down, it took several passes for each kill. :negative:

Land the plane on a road. Have your buddy stand on a jeep, truck, whatever to raise him up to the level of the guns. Shoot. Repeat. Works well if you have two people to shoot, plus a third with some defibs. That way while one is getting revived, you can shoot the other, back and forth, done in no time.

If you're on ps4 we're always down to cheese poo poo. If not, sorry, ain't buying BF4 for PC (unless it's part of a Steam sale, which it won't be. Also TF2 > BF4).

Speaking of the PS4 krew down for cheesing poo poo, are there enough of us who need the UCAV airburst to cluster around the gunship trailer in Sperg Central some night soon?

Because goddamn do I want that airburst and I don't wanna fight pubbies for the privilege of maybe hitting one dude with the bomber.

drat, they need to make it possible to kick/ban in-game. taking 4 minutes to quit, ban, then rejoin, then get in the queue, then ban some collateral damage pubbies, then get back in kinda deadens the joy.

When I got my bomber ribbons I found the best place to do it was a Conquest Large server that was more than half-empty, but still with a decent number of people (think 20-30). At that number you get vehicles standing still taking points pretty often, and they're by far the best targets for the bomber. Plus the smaller player count means the game lasts longer and you have more time to get your three kills. I actually got two bomber ribbons in a single game like this.

Yep, you still need a $25 adapter to use your $100+ Turtle Beaches on an Xbox One. Or you can buy a $10 adapter and use your Xbox 360 Turtle Beach headset on a PS4.

Get the cheaper xbox one model (xo.four?), both models are pretty similar. I like mine.

Highlights include a round of Locker that was actually fun instead of the usual dick-punching meat grinder, me forgetting that Golmud railway is actually the worst map, and Manatee getting kicked from a server at lvl 8 for being too good at the game.

It's also possible to get stabbed whilst swimming?

Twice, even. My highlights include killing jets with the tank and the boat. Also a helicopter, though the stupid first rocket launcher apparently can't oneshot them. I guess what I'm saying is gently caress air vehicles.

gently caress yeah dude, it's a world of difference from 360. The frame rate alone took some getting used to. If you end up getting everything all set up I'll be on after 5pm central time.
