Nice. How long of a match was it?
I am definitely going to start truly sniping more. I did some last night and it was fun. Got a kill with the L115 at a pretty good ways off. Maybe 360 yards? I did a clip, maybe it will say. And got several hits. And got a spotting ribbon. LOL. What gear do you use when you are a sniper that helps you the best? I usually have C4 so I can blow up tanks. But I've never really tried much other stuff other than the claymore. Which I could could come in handy for a sniper. |

I don't know how you do 40x. Sometimes 20x seems too much to me. Right now I'm doing the 8x with the 14x. I like the hash marks on the 20x better though. It's not too much if the shots are past 250 or so.... But so many times I need it for closer range. I did make a concerted effort to find hides and stay there though. Well. I usually move after getting a kill. |

Anyone else having connection issues (xbox 1) ? Myself and friends have been getting randomly dropped in the middle of games with the "lost connection to EA servers" msg. I was getting it more than anyone else yesterday (kicked 6 times in 3 hours). today 2 friends got kicked, twice each, within an hour. On the 3rd time around is when we all got kicked at the same time. I thought yesterday it was maybe a router/port issue. double checked and everything is correct (ports open, nat open, ect). We thought it was possibly admin kicking cause we were just rocking it a few matches, infact, usually when i got kicked, i was 20+ kills and no death yet but all but 1 servers were EA.

in the last few months that ive played, ive never had an issue. heck, even on sunday there was no issues. but Monday, dear got it got old. today i was just glad it wasnt my turn.
EDIT: well tonight was better. no 1 got kicked but i did get lag on 1 map "lancang dam" where i was flying the little bird. was 15-0 or 15-1 at the time, their helo was up and i was by the C building *behind the taller of the 3* it got an angle on my so i nose dive down. I was on the side of the building and the lag hit and next thing i know i hit the AC unit on the TOP of the taller building |

Haven't had that issue. But one night I was playing a second assualt map and all of a sudden I was floating all over the place, being transported here and there and weird stuff. Like I was floating and had no control. But everyone else saw me as standing still cuz I got shot. Some kind of a glitch I guess.

This is the problem with sniping. I went on to Golmud last night and played two rounds. They were both full of people and we got our butts handed to us. It was like me and 2 other guys actually going for the flag. At the end of each round you see all these guys with 1 kill and 3 deaths. Etc etc. I swear out of 25 guys 5 of us had higher K/D counts and the rest looked like they were sniping. Everyone wants to be a sniper.......
I put a 4x scope on the M4 and tried some semi auto only shooting. I did go back and forth with burst and SA. If I knew stuff was going to be close I did burst. But I got a few kills on semi auto. It can be really fast and doesn't climb as much. |

Well I dropped my controller on the floor last night and now the down button on the analog only works when it wants to. Not good when your a helicopter pilot.... not dropping money on a new controller before a move in a few weeks. But I can still foot soldier!

I had a great time this morning playing with my son. We had a couple close ones. Never had Zavod this close before. On Hainan Resort he went up the elevator and killled 5 on the roof, I don't have the reflexes to pull that off without dying.

I had some fun trading sniper shots on Golmud last night. These dudes from the other side kept hanging out on the hills above the B flag and I busted out the SRR 61 or whatever the heck that one is called and got a few headshots and kills. Of course they got me a good bit too. But at least I got some Marksmen ribbons. Which I watched a video on and apparently you get the marksmen ribbon by getting headshots. As soon as your headshots with a sniper rifle equal 250 meters, then you get a ribbon. I don't know if it's ANY sniper rifle or if each rifle has a running talley. But whatever. At least now I know. |

I played a couple of rounds of BF4 earlier. Joined late on a Hainan Resort game and just messed around in the Little Bird and attack boat until the next round started. Second match was Rogue Transmission. I did ok for not really playing for a while. We lost though. I was pretty much done after that.

Question for you good/decent helo pilots (more for the scout than attack), what setup do u run? I consider myself above avg and idk if im just getting bored with my setup (but keep it) or if i should try something different.
main setup is 25mm and air-to-air. mostly cause i found myself going after LAV's more than normal and the splash damage for inf is great. that and i get majority of my kills from going after inf alone. backup setup (if a friend is playing who is also a decent pilot), ill rock 7.62 and air-to-ground. Im debating on switching to my backup setup as my main, but ill be the first to admit im not that hot when its 7.62 vs inf. |

Im debating on switching to my backup setup as my main, but ill be the first to admit im not that hot when its 7.62 vs inf. View Quote 25mm makes infy kills easy but it cripples you against air targets. You won't win against someone skilled with minis. ATA missles won't help as they can be easily countered. It takes a lot of practice to get good with minis and ATG. How you maneuver and set yourself up against an opponent is just as important your accuracy with the minis. Scout vs. scout you need to be above your opponent, if possible. The goal is to continually hit the area of the chopper where the engine connects to the rotor thingy. That is supposed to be the weakest spot. I'm not that accurate so I just focus on my accuracy with the minis making sure every round hits somewhere on the chopper. Literally missing one round can be the difference between winning and losing a battle. Do not let your miniguns overheat. This is absolutely vital. Burst fire only against other scouts. Make sure you are running the beltfeeder perk too. Pro tip: max out your vehicle sensitivity and mess with your reticle colors to find one that really works for you. As far as going after armor with the ATG missiles, don't try to take them on alone. You don't have enough missles to destroy anything but the transport vehicles without having to wait for your missiles to resupply. You might be able to take out an attack boat if the steersman doesn't know what he is doing but you still have to use the minis to finish him off. I only say this because I used to run attack boats a lot. The idea is to assist your teammates on the ground against armor potentially or actively targeting them. Make sure to spot. More often than not, an engineer on the ground will see what you've spotted and will assist with the kill. All you need to do is render the armor combat ineffective to help your teammates. As soon as that LAV or tank hears that lock-on, it's going to distract them from your teammates. Sometimes simply locking-on will be enough to distract the armor, especially if a noob is driving. If you want to add me on XBL, I'd like to play BF4 with you and see what you do. Teh OwNLY One is my GT. |

His picture above says 72, killing machine . I would play a whole evening to get that many. View Quote Thinking back on it, I made several little mistakes that got me killed and was likely the reason we lost. That is what happens when I don't play often enough to remember the small things. Forgetting obstacle locations was my biggest issue. Kinda hard to escape and evade when I back into a pillar. |

Miniguns and air-to-ground is the only way to go if you want to be truly skilled in the scout. I have an Xbox friend I met a while back that is crazy good with the scouts. Turns out he is like #2 in the world for kills with them. He has over 200K kills last I checked. Him and everyone else that rekd me in the scouts uses minis and ATG. For what it's worth, I consider myself marginal, at best, in choppers. 25mm makes infy kills easy but it cripples you against air targets. You won't win against someone skilled with minis.

Scout wise it all depends on which friend (s) hop on. 1 that i usually play with is really good in the LAV, and depending on how my team is or if the other team has a good pilot or not, is when its usually ATG and mix up between the 25mm and 7.62. if the other friend whos a good pilot is on then usually its ATG and 7.62. you are correct, if i have 25mm and have to go against another scout, it can be tough. I usually have a mental count down for when their helo is due up and try to position myself to take it out asap. The only time I really get screwed is if the other pilot has 762, is decent, and gets the jump on me. *and if the other time is all running iglas* It also depends on the map. If there are alot of buildings and everything is real close, its 25mm. if its a wide open map its 762. like i said, right now im just trying to figure out what i want to use as the same setup is getting "old" |

@4HShooter and I played several rounds together yesterday evening. Above is the best round I had as far as kills go. I got MVP several times. The last round we played was OP Locker and it being infantry only, I thought I was gonna get rekd. I did not, much to my suprise. I think at one point I was like 32-4 or something like that but toward the end I started dying a lot and ended up 39-11 which still isn't too bad.
4HShooter is pretty good, especially in the choppers. We played Siege of Shanghai once and he was in the Attack Heli and he went 31-4. Nice job bro. We gotta do it again. Maybe we can get some more Arfcommers to join us for the debauchery and plunder. |
