I just tried to do it... ALMOST made it past the first truck maybe 30 feet in :X How the ***did that guy do that >_> im still in shock i watched that....
I wish i could have seen my face....
All i know is i saw the helicopter lower right next to me... like... oh hes dropping people off.... no wait... wait whats he.... *stares at screen for 30 seconds*... how the ***is he.... what the... what is this... *continues to watch as he even kills 2-3 people with the gun the continues onward....
he came out the other side and i just watched him go up to the C area... and i just watched up at the helicopter and died because i was so mesmerized...
From what my brother is telling me (he has both versions) there is aim assist but it's infinitely less accurate than the PC version. Moreso than BFBC2 which I thought was great.
I've only ever seen assist in campaign for either PC or Xbox. No assist for either online.

that's just plain sick. i'm terrible at flying vehicles so I can only imagine how someone can do that so flawlessly.
Yeah I didn't mean that PC had aim assist, I meant that accuracy+hitboxes on XBOX were jacked up. I played some on XBOX today and it felt very different.
If you control helo's elevation via the keyboard and fly joystick that tunnel isn't too bad if you're not being constantly knocked around by machine guns or rubber banding. I flew one through today and capped B lol, then went and killed the other helo a few seconds after it took off. dude complained about base raping and then I shot him with the miniguns, then he died from me because a truck i shot blew up.
Think I saw something whack...someone was flying a jet with 3 stealth enhancements...took FOREVER to lock onto it with my jet for the heatseekers
Yeah I've seen this a few times, it's gotta be a hack, unless once you reach maximum jet level you can all of a sudden put any unlocks in any of the 3 spots.. I've also noticed these people seem to be "extremely good" in the planes, you might even say suspiciously good. When I encounter them, I don't even bother with the missiles, I get behind them and follow them until they level out for an attack run, aim very carefully and blast the living ***out of them with the guns.
What is the RUSH style like? I've only played Conquest and looking to change it up a bit.
You know the fiercest battles for flags in Conquest? Rush is basically that the whole way through. Expect boku campers. You have to rely heavily on cover and crawling to get to the MCOMS.

He was upset :D
Aiming and hit detection all feel the same.
Only difference being how you yourself aim. It just feels funny to do a different motion for the same action. But the detection and everything works fine for both for me.
Repair vehicles, blow up tanks. I get the same scores while on Engineer. You capture flags and kill people too, but a lot of the score comes from blowing up ***and repairing ***.
Just 10k away from maxing out jet unlocks.. Holy ***what a difference the extinguishers make.. I can literally go a whole round without dying, despite being disabled numerous times. Get disabled, hit extinguishers, then deal with the threat, or sometimes they'll be able to disable you again right away, just fly around a bit and keep them from getting a clean shot until they're up again. (using them automatically puts you at 53%)
I've also gotten pretty good at finding targets and taking them down. I use the rocket pods so I can tear stuff up on the ground, I use the main guns for planes/choppers. Heat seekers just take too long, it's quicker to just line up a clean shot with the guns, plus there's the added bonus of them not knowing you're behind them.
Are you using keyboard and mouse to fly jets? I can fly the jet fine but I can't aim the guns very well, so I end up getting shot down before I get any kills.

I use keyboard only to fly jets and to shoot the gun
Bridge too far wasn't actually from BF2. It was from BF2:MC, and I don't see that being too high on the priority list of remade maps. I actually liked some of the maps on that game, but it seems unlikely.
Trying to unlock addons for the UMP is painful.. So annoying when I can put 7 rounds into someone they turn around and drop me in a burst and their 'lolyougotkilledby' stats show them at 30%. Pretty sure I've headshot people 3 times in a burst and it didn't kill them.
A single engineer can hold off any attack thrown at him, an engineer with a support with him can hold of any attack for any amount of time. It's the most broken class in the game (And that's fine, but I just wish more teams understood this :/)
If you take a look at any Rush map you win, odds are you classes are 70% Engi with some other randoms thrown in and of course the camp recons who put their beacon up in your spawn and sit there all day.
I have yet to find engi. All that overpowering. They all bleed just like the rest, but I do find engi. And support a good combo held off countless numbers of tanks in kharg island conquest. C4 service star 2! lulz
Just unlocked the M98B for recon. I think it does.. 10 points more per shot damage then the SV98. Looks awesome though.
Unlocked the Laser and Suppressor for the UMP. All I need now is the IR scope and I'll have my silent sneaky recon gun ready. Had a pretty good run with it getting a 10kill streak at the gas station on Caspian. Held out long enough for my squad to spawn in VIA beacon.
The other team and I played ring around the building.. with my MAV sitting on top of the building showing me their moves.
Really wish people would look at the minimap more often. I'll the other team marked.. and mine will just run right by, not even looking in that direction and get shot in the back.
starting to explore the wonderful world of recon/long range riffles. was wondering if there are any ones i should use more than any other. i just unlocked sv98 or something and it seems to be really strong, but its not semi-auto. should i be using it anyway?
also is it possible to adjust our zoom? or are we stuck with whatever range is on the optics?
You're stuck with the range on the scope. I personally find 8X to be the best scope. 12x is to much zoom if you have to engage a target closer then 70 meters.
I really like the SV98. If you want to go prone and play sniper use the Bi-pod when you unlock it. If you want to be mobile and attack with the team then use the straight bolt. The bolt action guns take a little getting used too, but they are 1 hit kill to the head.

Have you tried using the beam scan upgrade? It makes your lock on time almost nothing. I used to only use the gat even after I unlocked heat seekers until I equipped beam scan on a whim. I definitely still use the gun more, but it's definitely an added bonus in an otherwise useless slot imo. Working on my third service star for the Jet now.
Decided to go ahead and make a thread on it since there isn't one yet, and wanted to see who all is getting it?
Well PC version anyways, I hate playing FPS on console, it's one of the few (maybe the only?) genre where playing on PC actually makes the most sense (due to keyboard/mouse rather than controller. Mouse makes for far better reaction times, using a keyboard takes some getting used to though). If you plan on getting it on PC we should hook up in game and pop some heads. :).
I will be pre-ordering it, nothing could stand in my way of getting it.. I'm a huge Battlefield fan, and have been since 1942.
I was actually in a state of shock when I saw that 3 was on it's way.. I hadn't actually kept up on the next/newest installments, and while I love BC and BC2, there's just no Battlefield on console that compares to BF2 (and arguably, no FPS on console period that does).
