I would suggest you add a message to your invite. I typically add "PS4 Goon" or something so the person doesn't assume it's a person they may have run into in a server.

Aslo people rarely seem to work as a squad. If you switch mid game to the highest scoring squad that might help.

By invite, do you mean Friend Request? or something else? I have included some kind of "I'm a goon" message on all my friend requests.

I hadn't realized that you could change squads mid-game, so thanks for that tip!

If you join a friend through battlelog you can make big giant squads too.

Yeah, I meant friend request. That's strange then that no one has accepted. Well I sent you one over but I mostly play in the early afternoon (pacific time) with the UK goons.

Also, don't feel ashamed about joining the winning team mid game if it's a landslide against you either. It makes the game way more fun.

Ah. I think I may have phrased that poorly. Almost everyone I sent requests to accepted my request. But I was just putting my psn out there in case anybody I didn't send a request to wanted to team up. Much thanks to everybody who sent me a request or accepted mine.

All right nerds. My life's settled down a bit and I've moved out of the San Francisco cesspool, to charming and scenic New Orleans. I've decided it's time for me to save my $$ and hop back on the PS4 wagon. Hopefully in a few months time I'll be mans shooting with y'all again.

Ha. I loving wish. I made myself completely broke getting here and am finally getting big boy paychecks and rebuilding my finances and actually budgeting and poo poo. Yeah I could do it as an impulse buy, but I gotta eat and pay my (outrageous) electric bill too. Also I still don't have internet except for my phone, so it wouldn't do me much good anyway. Soon. Soon I will shoot a man and it will be good.

After grinding out DMR's for the last week or so of shootmans, it's such a relief to go back to using weapons I actually like.

Advice for peeps who don't like locker:
Go support, rock your favourite LMG (M249 represent) and set your perk as perimeter defence. Pick a point, and become a one man defence squad. Joined a 1600 ticket server the other day, managed to hold our home flag almost entirely alone thanks to some creatively placed claymores and the extra-suppressive nature of my M249. No lie, it's a satisfying feeling to watch a guy drop to a claymore as you machine gun the 3 surviving squad members who tried to sneak along the outside.

The real answer is M249, IRNV/FLIR, Smoke nades and airburst.

Carrier Assault is pretty fun, but nowhere near as fun as Titan mode was in 2142. I think I like Chainlink better. Blowing up boats with the SRAW is fun though. I'm still trying to get the hang of shooting down choppers with it since my rocket never seems to catch up with it even though I'm leading the crosshair a little bit to where the target is supossed to be.

air burst directly above the pilot canopy seems to work for me.

Did they ever fix friendly auto-AA automatically targets helicopters leaving the base on Gulf of Oman? Because if not, that's what it was.

Yeah, the airburst is actually better than direct hits because of the small delay, if you hit the helicopter odds are you're going to deflect off and not do enough damage.

Also airbursting is the easiest way to wipe repair bitches out of the littlebird and you know they're pissed at you.

Can somebody explain to me what BUTT is (aside from the place the bad man touched me when I was little)? Is it different from BF goons? Do you have to register or join or something? Or is it some inside joke I'm just missing?

at this point, compared to flood zone or hainan i actually have fun on locker now. i'm starting to figure out what spots you can use inside to avoid grenade spam and farm kills with, and if that ever fails, we still have mortar pain squads on the outside. still blows compared to arica or strike at karkand for infy though.

cant think of anything redeeming about flood zone or hainan other than water levolution and collapsing hotels that bring the fps down to n64-days.

Hainan is fun for the boat or LAV murder, but if you're rolling as infantry it's just miserable.

I've given up on Flood Zone. I don't even enjoy highway control anymore. The only fun part of that map is taking/defending A.

Here is everything you need to know about BUTT Clan.

Snackpack Backpack posted:

This guy couldn't handle BUTT clan. :c00lbutt:

He didn't have a problem with us when we were on the same team carrying it, but as soon as he gets switched and loses, we're bad because we play together. In the 5 games leading up to that one he was finishing around the middle of the scoreboard. I guess I'm done playing Battlefield since this guy is way better than I am.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that BUTT clan isn't a real clan. :ssh:

Snackpack Backpack posted:

The related battle report
I think this was the best game he had while we were playing. He didn't do bad, he was on top of the enemy team, but if he wasn't so good that he didn't need a squad, maybe he could have scored more. :shrug: But then we wouldn't have gotten to find out how bad we all are in comparison.

Battlelog platoons are basically your own super special club and everyone in them gets to use their exclusive emblem. If you join, people will know and fear you as a member of the elite BUTT Clan. Most of us are the point where it's more fun to just gently caress around and try out gimmicks. You can check out the official BUTT Clan primer for more info.
