Meh I'm already banned from a few servers so that's the least of my worries

Anyone know how long these bans last for? I've heard the phrases "round-banned" and "day-ban" but seems I'm still banned from a server I got banned from last week.

Oooh!

I dont have that one yet. People hate on the DAO-12 saying it sucks, but I like it. It kills pretty consitently and has 12 round drum. I use it with Flechettes and Ammo with Holo sights. Pretty deadly in a corridor or train. Up close it is generally one shot kill too. Up close is up to 20 feet away.

Frag rounds are the biggest reason they hate the shotguns. I don't use shotguns at all simply because I suck with them and the only map I like where it might work OK is Grand Bazzar. I don't like Metro because of my poor eye sight and Seine I dislike too. These are 2 maps I just get obliterated playing.

Images and memes are fine when they actually make me laugh (and when they make fun of E that's usually a safe bet!)

Well you need to PM the guy who sent it to me if you haven't. Or try EA Live Chat. You may just be typing it in wrong or something.

Mailman picked an epic 2001 ticket server!

Can anyone say cluster fuck? 64 player 24/7 Metro conquest. No M320 or rockets. Worked great till the admin started using M320 and kicking anyone else you used it.

Wow, lame. Ticket count is too high, but otherwise that sound like a good server.

Too bad the admin's a dick.

Generally you've got right, but... not in this game. How the f*** you could sneak behind enemy lines if your suit are so crapy? Have you ever seen recon in such a pack of shit? Scope glare - too much war movies from late 80's. The biggest mistake in history of FPS genre in my opinion. If they wanted to balance game (not too much recons) there should be cap limit for them - let's say 4 for team. Could be? Yes...

Playing as a recon was more far effective and easier in BF:BC2 - even without prone...

Yeah maybe , but if you weren't recon on
Maps like Heavy Metal you just wanted to scream.
Karg Island, Sharqi and Firestorm Gulf of Oman are just like
that on BF3. You end up trying to position yourself
where you can take the assholes out after killing you
and your team a half dozen times. Hard to hit the fuckers
at the tops of those cranes and tall building. Especially if
they drop on one from a helo that has no other way to
get up there.

I've gotta disagree. Scope glare isn't the biggest problem for recons in BF3, it's the kill cam. But scope glare can be mitigated by using an ACOG, and if you don't like the kill cam I guess you can play on hardcore servers.

But it still really comes down to how you play that kit. I like to find a nice high, safe spot and rain death with a 12x scope, but my best recon games are usually the ones where I take an ACOG/suppressor or HOLO/suppressor and stay near my squad.

Not saying that this is necessarily how recon should be played, just a few observations.

Yeh exactly what I would do when I am recon class.

sv98/l96 + Strait bolt + Suppressor + 93r + squad suppression
Then I usually end up killing a hole bunch of em, then ending up in enemy lines, and putting spawn points and radar every-time i could get the chance

But it only takes 1 shot for the bolt actions at the head, and when you get decent at aiming its fun to see people spray and pray only to die by 1 bullet from 1 man.

if I can sneak around as a medic with a shotgun and avoid detection, you can as recon.

Recon vs sniper. you should never be a "sniper" sitting in the back taking pot shots. in real life snipers are deployed to take out high priority targets; in battlefield there are none.

Recon, as has been said, is there to provide spots at the very least, but more often spawn points and cover fire.
