    the game should hardly be easy so that u can get max level that easy, whats the point in that

    maybe its because players are getting better and things arent as easy as they were.. at the start?

    sure u join frustrating games with eejits on your team, but your gonna get that with every game

    (p.s looking forward to red dead redemption aswell, the online looks great with making a posse and heading out on the hunt, i hope its not **** :P)


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,800 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Anytime I play now, I am always in top 2 on my team, great feeling knowing your carrying the team, even better when you get man of the match. Can only get this though with my medic. Heal, revive, m60 rat-a-tat-a-tat on that muddafukin ass!!

    Anyone else think the russian medic with the red cheeks looks like he just got caught looking at porn by his parents and is now getting a scolding?

    Ya Barra, another posse member for Red Dead! Did ye see the new trailer where you start in a mexican standoff and last person standing gets to leg it to get first dibs on a good sniper spot!

    tbh potsy i think it only has a lifespan of about a month. i played it like crazy til level 22, scoring the last online trophy then immediately stopped. u can bet theres hardcore squaddies that'll be havin 'parties' til the servers are switched off, but i lost trophy incentive. still, a great game.

    Don't like the engineer or recon classes so no motivation to play as them. Really hard levelling up now.

    Have you tried anti-tank mines that you get on Engineer class? It's top notch - great fun littering the track with a few mines and watch tanks blown up to smithereens with usually two, but at times four enemies in it. You can just leave them and move on, and you will see points flowing in later in the game when you are busy doing something else.

    I love Recon in the vast Atacama Desert map - too much fun popping people from kilometers away! I am yet to use C4 much though.

    Wouldn't agree there at all, I'm at level 30 and play away for a few hours every day. Don't really give a sh** about trophies tbh.

    Yeah the ranking up is pretty slow now, but I don't really mind about that either. I just like the feeling of kicking another teams ass!

    I'm the same, I was an Xbox man first so Achievements are the only things I collect, I play most nights for an hour or so, game of the year imo. All the triple A's were great but this keeps on giving. Such an awesome game.

    Im still playing BFBC2 but not loving it as much , but will having great laughs.

    I think this might drag me away from it when it released :D ....


    Seen that West&Zampella (former Infinity ward) newest adventure are working with EA now , it is gonna be interesting to see if they have any influence/input into Medal Of Honor .

    Also DICE have just announced a free unlock if you pre order MOH today .
    More info here ...http://bit.ly/ariEOb


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    Respawn Enterntainment (Ie. the new west+zampella venture) have said they're gonna have nothing to do with existing franchises within EA.

    Potsy,
    I was feeling the same but started playing differently .
    I am now concentrating on Infantry and using Tanks etc . Its good fun when you get get into it , but you do need a engineer with you always.

    You would be surprised how good Tanks can be when used cunningly .

    Potsy sounds like a MW2 fanboi! ;)

    Had another couple of great sessions yesterday with random people. Got a 'tripple kill' when I mortared an enemy hideout - I was just one running into a hideout, and by the time I mortared the place, two others had spawned on top of him. Nearly a squad kill! :D

    Every third or fourth round I am getting 5000 points for one thing or other - like 100 kills with particular type of gun or whatever. I have been playing almost everyday for last two months - absolutely brilliant game, such value!!

    managed to snipe down a chopper last night - although it may have been on its last legs anyways, still felt good!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭RAIN


    Its mad how the community has started to evolve, much more tactical experience now with people using tanks much better. Parking one on the top of a hill and raining the pain down. Snipers have also started to slowly decrease. Its mad seeing a group of five medics swarming across a map in unison, keeping each other alive as they make their way to the objective.

    Nagh, I love this game. Its a thing of beauty, interested in MOH's multiplayer maybe but the single player doesn't excite me.

    have found the servers to be a bit quiet alright recently but have found the quality of games way better. the time its been out has seemed to seperate the wheat from the chaff. the people left playing are way more tactical and essentially sneaky in their play. have often found myself four up in a tank destroying maps. granted levelling up is harder, but, a little challenge never hurt anyone.

    I think this is the beauty of this game - each class really compliments the other. On Isla Innocentes, one too many times I found trapped with a medic on one of the buildings on the port - when I am dead, he revives me, and when he is down, I pick up his kit and revive him (he comes back as my class). The game really demands people to interact, rather than the stupid 'free for all death match' thing that has been going on since Unreal Tournament days. That's also fun, but this is better! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 868 ✭✭✭DonalN


    Got over 4k points on a couple of games last night...really enjoyed it...great squad - didn't know them and no mics, but everyone did their job - resupply, revive - move up - cover etc.....super stuff!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,354 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Bought this yesterday. Add me people (SaulTigh)

    Great fun, I am very good - has to be said!


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭mayotobo


    i used to just kill and be killed just to get points to get all of the weapons. my k/d ratio was in the low .50's but now that thats out of the way ive tried all of the classes right and found recon to be my calling. in alot of gaames im getting 3000-4000 for all of the spot asssists, motion mine and kill asists. recon can be a very useful class if its used right and not just as a wanabee bob lee swagger sniper. my k/d ratio is usuallt about 3.00-5.00. the overall ratio is improving. woop woop:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Leiva


    Been away with work all week ... Gonna hope onto BFBC2 tonight cause I'm gone cold turkey :(

    Gonna continue where I left off and skill up in Tanks etc.

    just lashed on a game there just for the curiosity with recon i put the sensitivity up all the way and it is great for snipeing the gun just moves so quick and pin points targets more easily
    takes a bit getting used to tho when your not scoped a slight flick and your facing the opposite direction aint played in ages but i think ill be like your self mainly useing recon
