Just got done destroying some people with my cousin. I went 40-25 (Ace Pin baby!) and armed over half of the MCOMS. My cousin got the rest while I covered him.
This is starting to grow on me a bit. I think I was just upset about the mandatory ass kicking you receive when you start any Battlefield game. The one where you start off with no perks, no sights, nothing... Prepared to have your ass handed to you right off the bat. Once you play for awhile, it'll even itself out.
A few notes:
- The Tactical flashlight is a pain in the ass. Blinds whoever you shine it at, friendlies included. Learn to shoot at the light because it'll white out your entire screen.
- You earn sights for a gun by using that specific gun - not the class it is tied to.
- If you're used to BFBC2, this will throw you. The medic is now the ammo supply guy and the assault guy now has a defib and health.
- The sniper spawns with a radio unit a.k.a. "The Mobile Spawn Point," place it on the field, and you and your squad can choose to spawn there until the enemy destroys it. Stays in place even after you die. This has been a huge help in rush. On offense, I'll sneak behind the enemy lines, get close to an MCOM station, lay the radio and have a ton of reinforcements nearby. On defense I'll lay it close to the offense's spawn, then spawn in with a shotty. Knife kills and buckshot to the back are my main weapons.
- It still appears you can only get 4-people in a lobby before a game.
- I ran into a DICE quality representative today asking about glitches and if we've encountered any and just how our play experience was going. I talked to him for about 5 minutes. Nice to see they are working with the community.
- You can go prone again! Nothing like belly-crawling up to an enemy position and then popping up right in their face and blasting them.
- Off the bat, I've really taking a liking to the semi-auto sniper. I attached an ACOG to it and use it as a battle rifle. Knocks guys down in 1 or 2 shots most of the time.
- Knife kills take awhile. A whole animation plays out now of you jamming your knife in their neck.
