So the Tunguska has now become a complete rape machine?

Got nailed constantly on the attacking team, by it and couldn't even cross the water. On the next round, I decided to try the same. Not even used it before.

Ended up doing 25 kills, and took out 5 or 6 vehicles in 1 round.

Unless the entire enemy team focuses on killing you, you're pretty much guaranteed MVP if you keep the Tunguska lol. And it drives me nuts when people play super conservative in the thing because they're afraid of losing it and it ends up screwing the team over.

I've been saying for the past three months it needs to be nerfed hard. DICE probably won't do it since that would leave 2+ engineers
the only thing able to stand against it
unchecked in the air since they're nerfing the anti-air options in broad strokes due to bitching.
 
So, what we have so far:
NOTE: PS3
3/1/2012 - Thursday - BF1943 Game Night.
  • Dreamgazer
  • Botack(?)
BF1943 canceled due to PSN downage.

3/2/2012 - Friday - BC2 Rush Night
  • Dreamgazer
  • Rockscar
  • Botack
  • Olimpia
  • Nostyle
  • CatPee/MintFresh
  • Faceless360
  • Evolved1
  • JJD

3/3/2012 - Saturday - BC2 Conquest Night.
  • Dreamgazer
  • Rockscar
  • Botack
  • Olimpia
  • Nostyle
  • CatPee/MintFresh
  • Faceless360
  • Evolved1
  • JJD

Seems like we should do 1943 and Vietnam next week for some "Historic adventures in Battlefield" theme or something.

I should be able to attend the BC2 Rush & Conquest nights.

Thanks for the invite!

I would do BF1943, but I didn't DL it yet and I have like less than 2GB left in my month's worth of bandwidth. :(

Er-BF43 is like 700Meg-1gig AT MOST. You shouldn't hit your cap if you download it right now and play it and one BC2 night within the next 2 days. >_>

I can't wait until I jump into a BC2 tank. The physics are completely different so let's see if I remember anything because I used to be a good tank driver in BC2

It's a bit of a joke.

Last night I got 35 kills in a round with it and only got taken out once.

Anyone know how this happened? I unlocked the l85 something something assault rifle (the 2nd assault rifle for medic class that comes with B2K) and straight away I had one unlock for a it... a 12x ballistic sniper rifle. I check battlelog and it doesn't say theres such an unlock.. LOL guess I got 12x on my assault rifel!

All of the unlockable weapons for Karkand start off with a 12x scope except for the snipers. I am guessing that people were complaining that they didn't start you out with a scope so DICE said "here you go, quit your bitching."

Not sure what my plans are this weekend but if I'm not doing anything I'm game :)

Dreamgazer, PSN is going to be down from 8am Pacific to 10pm Pacific on Thursday so you're probably better off doing it another night.

Yeah, the 12x scopes found in Karkand was DICE's response to all those complaining about unlockables.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
My weekend is crazy busy with assignments unfortunately... but I'll make time for a GAF BC2 reunion.

Fri and Sat night... at least for a couple hours. :)

Quite looking forward to it!

If I could make one dollar for every freeze and disconnect I get I'd be a millionare.

The funny thing is, as soon as you froze and disconnected, I jumped from the gunner seat to the driver and my game froze instantly...I couldn't even take the tank out of that place were it was stuck. SMH Dice...
 
I'll be in Boston the entire next week for business trip.
So if we plan to do a 1943/Vietnam combo, it'll most likely be Saturday next week.

I've had a few server issues where I lose connection to the EA servers, but thats rare. Never had it freeze. Playing on 360, by the way.

Lucky you. I'm starting to think the problem is my PS3. I lose connection literally every 2 or 3 games and it's really annoying because whenever I try to join the game back the server gets full. I don't think my internet connection has any problems since I play a lot of 3DS online and never had any issues.

It seems like every time I'm in a game with you, you lose connection or get booted. It really sucks, more so in the close matches.
 
Not to mention the other team held all flags and our team was being spawn camped. Then we join, get a flank, our team magically grows balls and we get all flags captured. I really didn't think we were going to win that match.

oh yeah, that was so hilarious. 0 flags, enemy team is dropping mortars in our spawn, we just load up and head to C, cap C, then you went to E, we went to D, capped them, and all of a sudden our blue guys are capping B and there's some fighting over A and it comes right down to the wire. i still can't believe someone had a mine all the way to the left side near A when i grabbed the jeep to drive back to our spawn for the tank!

I know! I always get kicked out during the most important and intense matches. To top it all when I try to rejoin I ALWAYS get the "server is full" message. And even worse, I'm always set to an EA server which doesn't have a queue list so I have to X like a madman if I want to rejoin.

really sounding like your internet is the problem if other ppl are fine. Check your router settings and try another ps3 game online and see what happens.

I love Battlefield but I have been out of gaming for about 6 months now. Will be finally picking up BF3 on the 360 in April at some point.

After a few months after release, what are the overall thoughts? A bit more balanced now in terms of classes and weapons? How are the maps and was the DLC worth it? Did they ever think about 32player matches for console? Is there still a 360 community playing?

Cheers all!

Thing is I've been playing online with my 3DS with no problems. Then again, BF3 probably uses a lot more data since there are 24 players plus voice chat and all that..

1. Overall the game is fantastic even on console but the game is getting a MUCH needed mega patch soonish.

2. Patch will help with the balance. I would say try to start up with a group of friends to avoid rage.

3. DLC is worth it.. maps are great.

4. Not possible it seems. Bandwidth on consoles is a limitation by MS and Sony and I believe that is the driving force behind the 24 level cap. But honestly.. only on the massive levels do I sometimes notice the sense of being alone.

5. Community is packed 24/7 on all 3 platforms. Game is super popular.

39/2 on Caspian defense in a jet? 9k pts?

YOU HAVE LOST CONNERCTION TO EA ONLINE

I was wondering what happened to you in Karkand.

I was also a dick and switched teams that last round because 1) OH BOY YOU IN A JET and 2) Bo switched as well and 3) I kinda wanted to attempt to get jet unlock points.

But my 20 points I earned spotting (I can't handle the speed of the jets) were earned in engineer. SMH DICE.

yeah, A-10 points go to your kit like a transport vehicle, it's bugged. anyway, new kill streak of 30! tunguska put on notice!

and i got a few nemesis ribbons that game too, at least 3!
