Just going through the support kit for the laugh now....want to get the mortar to see if its any use. But I got the claymore mines and its soooooo funny getting people from across the map.

Only thing is, they vanish if you die unlike the mines....but I stand to be corrected on that.

Mortars great for campers but meh otherwise, btw be careful as you'll show up on the minimap by using it.

Don't bother with claymores, far too easy to knock out, any explosion in the mines area and they go off. C4 is where it's at.

Try and get the suppressor, grip and ir site for the m249, not great long range but absolutely lethal close range. You ake out groups of 4-5 on a regular basis. M249 seems to be the best of the guns, very little kick, m60 is nice, bigger bulltets but handles like a jackhammer.

Type 88 all the way. 200 round mag, it just keeps going and going and going.

Seriously I once suppressed like 6/7 guys for a good 60 seconds by firing out a window with this thing. If you fire in burst its also quite good at range.

I tell ya this lads, I nearly had a ****in heart attack last night playing with a few mentally challenged from here....it was so funny. Then last night Twister, dubs and myself at 2:30am decided to all try and get the shotgun ribbon (never use them)

What resulted was the three of us running around in a figure of eight motion just constantly spraying and paying and ending up all in the top 3 on our side and getting the shotgun ribbon 3 times in the one round. But the banter and craic on TS was side splitting. If I recorded TS last night I would have....you are one funny **** wannaplaytwister.

Had a terrible night last night playing overall could not hit a thing so gonna take a break tonight and pretend that I want a nice night in with the GF get me some brownin points.

I was just looking at the unlocks for the Tank and the final unlock is called the CITV station. It works like a tanks own personal SOFLAM to lock on guided shells, it requires a third person in the tank to operate it. With this upgrade a squad of 3 operating as a tank crew will rape all other vehicles, land and air.

Not if you're better than them

Ive just played 4 quick matches in a row and I got disconnected from each server each time when using the Mortar (which I just unlocked).

Anyone else have this happen to them?

There was absolutely no mention of them not being allowed,
could it just have been a coincidence?

I have it and believe me not many peeps can bother THEIR ARSES getting into the tank. Even when you drive around the map your tank is a different shape and has the CITV on it so everyone knows......I only unlocked it coz I taught it was "Childrens ITV" in the tank!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

They are brilliant, been using it quite a it in the last couple of days.

There are lots of places where people like to camp that they are great for bombarding.
The rocks to the left when attacking the first set of MCOMS in Op Metro for example.
You can also use them on Seine Crossing to rain down masonry on people for cheap kills.

I liked it at first but now I find the mortar is best for taking out people using the mortar :pac:

How many kills do you need to unlock the smoke rounds?

AnCapaillMor

M60 is the way to go for support, suppressor, ir sight and grip hold, its lethal short to medium range, i was taking out whole squads with it tonight. F2000 is about the only gun that will out shoot it close range.

Wonda-Boy

THERE YOU GO AGAIN WITH THE M60......:rolleyes:

AnCapaillMor

i know fingers crossed bf4's m60 has a grenade launcher attachment.

Find the m60 too clunky compared to the trusty m249

But nothing beats m60s daga daga daga daga sound!

screw that f2000 is the way to go, bloody hell got 3 nemesis badges in 1 round with it last night.

Wonda-Boy

PDW is also pretty sweet....F2000 is nice but very poor medium to long range do to the high rate of fire. Make sure you equip extended mag with it or you spend the round reloading :mad:
