Buy some whiskey and a baseball bat. Wait for your room mates to fall asleep and reintroduce them to "personal space". A lesson they apparently have forgotten.

Or buy an SSD to improve your load times in BF3.

Speaking of "blown up cars" I read a clever tip re. placing C4 inside cars such as on Seine and detonating when tanks, jeeps and or a squad happens to roll by (in very close proximity of course). Get some extra explosive kick from the car itself blowing too.

Would make sense, I've got kills just from shooting those till they explode.

I have a $800 bonus coming the 15th , told the wife I get half towards one.
They will take a huge chunk of it because it puts me in another tax bracket.
She agreed to $200, so I'm saving some and will sell my 6870. Here my dilema
though, I hear the 670 are being released around the same date, so it may take
awhile for the other cards to drop in price. Lacking patience I'll probably get it
and the price will drop a week after I get it. I may be able to wait a week,
but that will be about it or I'll lose my mind.

Yes I have used such to my advantage with tank shells (blowing trucks and the large refinery tanks like on Firestorm and Kharg when inf happen to be nearby) but would have never thought to smash car windows and toss C4 in there. Makes most sense on Seine cause of the narrow streets obviously but could also plant it around other destructable objects.

One time Crazy was cruising around on Gulf of Oman in a C4 Buggy and I hitched a ride with him. He was looking for a tank so I was just gonna bail when we got to a flag, we cruised through flag C and I guess he chose to run over 2 cars on the side thats away from the beach. Before he hit the cars guys started firing at us from the building by them closer to D, so I hit exit and I just happened to start exiting the Buggy as we were flying over these cars. All I seen was a massive explosion and I got 2 kills from the Buggy? As the passenger, lol. Figured the car explosions killed them, not sure why I got the kills as the passenger, Crazy just kept on cruising.

But yeah definitely a good idea, I don't run C4, but probably wouldn't have thought of it either. Only think to shoot them if I know someones behind one.

Anyone seen this bug? I see Acog, laser, and foregrip on a L85A2.

Found this interesting glitch whilst using the L85A2. Seems it only works with this gun/attachments + when you do something in menu at start/when die.

That's why you use smoke when in a tank.

I used to use reactive armor, but switched to smoke after being tired of so many soflam and other locks. I last a lot long now.

Not all maps are that way. We were on Caspain Border tonight and it was mostly armor and Infantry except for some sorry ass guy in a Helo name Dave : )
No seriously it was pretty balanced. They went on a Jeep Kamikaze run and your worst enemy was a Jeep, though they never got my ass. It worked to our
advantage because we capped while they drove around like drunken sailors whoopin it up.

The problem with Air is it's hit or miss. Jets and Heli's are extremely easy to kill if they got bad pilots. But if they got great/godly pilots, they are just about flat out impossible to kill, especially Jets. They lowered the range of Stingers, so Watching a jet come straight at me, start locking on as soon as he gets in range, I get lock as he flies over my head, he flares, I have to re-establish lock and that doesn't happen he is already out of Stinger distance. The only way to kill insanely good Jet pilots is to pilot a Jet, and I think that's just stupid.

I don't run into maps like this all the time, but when I do it's extremely annoying to watch these fly boys going like 50/4 simply because it's too hard to kill a Jet before they fly off the screen / out run your rockets (of any type).

And I know someone said to use smoke, that helps against a bad chopper gunner, or people with Jav's. Any good chopper pilot will tear you apart with rockets, and a Jet, well your just a gonner there, with their gun and rocket pods, thats game over in 1 pass.

Yep it is basically the server you chose. I had a fucking blast tonight. Didn't do to shabby for a one
eyed old blind man and the TS was rockin. No annoyance and all about the game. Bravo for the peeps on TPU !
