Had some fun firestorm rounds last night, despite dying immediately mostly. On my final round last night I came across a purple Enfield with a bayonet. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to mount it for sweet instakills.

I was playing squad firestorm the other day with random pubbies and lmao at the guys who drove their amphibious car right in front of the field gun I was on without noticing me. Squad wipe in one shot. I'm really enjoying this but I don't understand why these fuckers won't get into a tank in driving and just run alongside it then get shot to pieces while I can't do poo poo because I'm trying to jump between the gunner and driver spots myself like an idiot. If everyone gets in we'd be extremely hard to kill ffs.

I used to this same exact thing all the way back in Battlefield 1942 with my buddy. It was just those big coastal turrets or whatever instead of field guns. We'd also play a scout/plane combo. He'd be on the ground looking for enemy concentrations with binoculars and call out the grids or landmarks to me, and I'll fly over and bomb it. If I was off he'd give me an adjustment and I'd come for another pass. (This was before any idiot could skylord. Plane weapons were less lethal to ground units barring a direct bomb hit, and it was hard to identify mobile targets as quickly) People have done this is every game that has ever featured a "powerful but immobile gun capable of indirect fire".

Guy this is gonna BLOW your MINDS!!! When I used to play Halo 3 with my buddy we'd both get in a warhog. I'd drive and he would gun, and I would call targets to shoot while he warned about grenades/rockets to dodge. MOST INGENIOUS FRIGHTENING WAY TO PLAY HALO. GODS OF GAMING1!!!

Gonz posted:Not with a former military marksman, no. Listen I don't want to make a big deal here about something silly. Suffice to say, I don't care what qualification some army guy had, it really doesn't translate to operating the field canon in a video game. Also, please remember that fancy sounding military honors often mean nothing. I myself literally hold a better qualification than an "Army Marksman". You know why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marksmanship_badges_(United_States) quote:The U.S. military and CMP marksmanship qualification badges are awarded in three grades (highest to lowest): expert, sharpshooter, and marksman Marksman is the lowest rank that didn't outright fail lol. I got a sharpshooter badge when I qualified during basic training, and believe me that's not anything special. Literally every person who completes basic training can claim to be an "army marksman". Now in this case "marksman" may refer to something else, maybe some other special training or course. But we don't know so on it's own "army marksman" means nothing other than he wasn't so terrible at shooting that it washed him out of basic (this happened to zero people in my group of like 120 or something).

Yeah I mainly mentioned that he was an army guy because the previous poster was talking about playing with jargon spouting marines. Sorry I upset you dude. I also had a marksmanship badge when I was in the military so chill the gently caress out ok?

I know you’re kidding. On a serious note, I played about 7 or 8 solo rounds yesterday and did fairly well. But that last round, goddamn that last round. Spent 24 minutes sneaking around and getting the drop on various people. The flare gun is a really outstanding thing to have in this mode; it probably nabbed me three kills. So i’ve got 7 kills and it comes down to the second to last circle. 3 people left, myself included. I shotgun the 2nd to last guy after we dance around a wooden shed exchanging fire. I’m down to about 25 health and go hide in the brush to use at least one syringe. Right as I go to use the syringe, the final guy walks right up to me, and before I have the chance to swap to my gun, I get headshotted. Infuriating.

On the topic of the flare gun, it was also the first “weapon” I grabbed on the drop, and managed to shoot an unarmed guy with it, then stabbed him to death while he was burning. Fun times.

It always spawned an argument about whether it was acceptable and people would try to paste them clandestinely so nobody noticed or rip them off other people's monitors lol. Good times.
