Does anyone suck as bad as me?

Posting my TF2 stats because no one plays Battlefield.

Pfft, I'm even worse at TF2 than BC2.

I haven't played much but I'm terrible.

I guess I'm just terrible at FPSs :/

Doin' okay I guess.

Psh, noobs.

I haven't had the game that long, I think I bought it around October.

You play 50 hours a month? No wonder why you're good. >.>

I haven't played at all in a really long time.

Huh, that's more than I thought. Not to mention my ~700 SC2 games during that time period. How the hell did I get a 4.0 last semester...?

I've only played 11 games so far :p

I'd be down to squad up with you guys sometime and tear it up.

My stats are pretty bad because I've played in a lot of ****ty pub games. Do you know who plays PS3? Mexicans and Brazilians. Absolute statistics destroyers. They play every game like it's Call of Duty and they don't even have the in-game sound on so they can listen to their raggaetons. Yes, i mad.

All your KD ratios suck huge nutsacks.

It's BC2, it's not about KD, it's about teamwork. Also: Fun.

PS: Not to brag or anything, but my K/D ratio is the highest in the thread so far. Ergo, I am the best. Suck THAT huge nutsack.

SPM and W/L are more important stats. My SPM would be better if I played purely Rush. Conquest games can be kind of slow especially if you're trying to win by ninjacapping (which is often the only way to win because YOUR ENTIRE TEAM IS FOREIGN SNIPERS) leading to games with unimpressive scores and K/Ds. I stopped playing Rush because the cratebashing was pissing me off so bad. You could have a perfect defense but you lose the MCOM because some jerkoffs load 50 C4 onto a UAV and slam it into the MCOM when your back is turned. That's ****ing inexcusable. Fortunately the last patch doubled the health of the MCOMs forcing people to play Rush the way it was intended and all the douchebags went to Conquest to chopperwhore their lives away.

I'm surprised no one here knows the glory of the 40mm shotgun. Best attachment in the game. Turns any enemy that walks within 20 meters of you into a ragdoll. Sure it has a slow reload, but you can quickly switch to the rifle, or if you need to, to your pistol.

Also nice to see there are no Abakan whores on this thread.

Aww, they upped the mcom hitpoints? That totally screws up my old "hide in the bushes and/or smoke with an ammo box and chew away at the crate with rockets" strategy. It worked really well when both teams were dumb.

I certainly enjoyed pulling a victory out of my ass every now and then by driving a Bradley up to the MCOM and pounding it point blank or even just throwing C4 on it, but it was ripe with abuse. I played plenty of games where a much better team would cratebash, not because they couldn't win any other way, but because it ended the round that much sooner.

I'm not one of those guys that'll hide up on a hill and shoot for the highest K/D. I have 661 kills but I have 449 heals/revives...I'm also not afraid to suicide with C4 on a tank to keep it from ripping my whole team apart. That's how I play.


I tried it. Once. It didn't kill the guy and I was like screw this, I'll go back to high explosives. Maybe I'll try it again.

You should be able to C4 the tank without killing yourself. If you're able to get up to the tank and throw C4 on it, you should be able to exfiltrate and detonate at a safe distance. Suiciding, unless you absolutely have to is hella scrubby.




The hit detection is finicky. Sometimes you'll oneshot a guy down an alley other times you'll see blood splatter but not even get a hitmarker. In general, though, it's so good you'll feel kind of guilty using it. It's perfect in close quarters, especially in building, where you can get the kill even against a guy who shot first.

At the very least, it's better than the 40mm grenade 85% of the time. That thing really has two purposes: making doors and killing wounded people who have run around a corner. (most of the time you'll kill those people anyway from the crappy hit detection and lag) The grenade has a bigger one hit kill radius if you use the explosive damage spec, but if you do that you might as get "Mega****" tattooed on your forehead because you are a mega****.

The primary use for the 40mm grenade is to lay down an ammo box and lay waste. Can you tell I love ammo boxes?

Oh I've lived before, but it's not the tank that I'm worried about killing me at that point...if guys on foot are all over, I'll blow it before risking getting shot and having to start all over again.

I don't have the explosives damage spec. I'm only level 11 at this point.

This happened to me while playing Conquest on Heavy Metal. I was on the hillside to the left of RU deploy - up where all the trees and rocks are. I was rolling recon.

So I'm sitting up there on this rock, just spotting infantry coming in when I see a tank in the clearling below me, driving up the hill toward me. The turret was pointed at Alpha point so I was pretty sure they hadn't seen me. I didn't really have anywhere else to move to with any kind of cover so I hid behind the rock. It looked like they were going to pass by me through the trees so I got out my C4 but they altered course at the last few moments and ended up driving directly toward the rock I was behind. I was expecting a roadkill death but the tank ended up driving right over me. While it was moving over me I threw two charges directly onto the underside of the tank. It continued to drive over me, and I watched it roll down the hillside towards the deploy.

Boom.

Psh, I have a higher SPM and W/L.

All that proves is you were on better teams and squads than me. (See what I did there? See how I went both ways; had my cake and ate it too? That's expert quality ****talking.)

Ugh I hate it when I get stuck with a crappy team....I was actually top on a server for overall points and my team was losing because EVERYONE WAS SITTING ON A HILL WITH SNIPER RIFLES. It was a CONQUEST MAP.

I bow to your expertise.

Seriously though, that is a sweet SPM, I ought to be a medic more often. I'm almost always assault unless there's some specific task we need to do that requires something else.

I am improving..slowly.

Medic is the easiest way to farm points. Just spam down med kits around teammates and get in a squad and do some squad revives. Just don't be that damn medic that revives you over and over on top of grenades.

Not to diminish THC's skill, which is evidently quite good, but it's more difficult to get an SPM that high on consoles. Mouse+keyboard is more efficient than controllers.

Medic is a great way to rack up points. +50 for revive, +80 for squad revive, +10 for heal, +20 for squad heal. Add the +H spec and you'll be massing tons of points. On a selected objective (press select, back button or q on an objective marker) and you'll add +10 points. That means every time you get a +10/+20 for a heal you'll get an additional +10 for being in the objective.

That's enough to make you shout "How you like me *****!!"

Oh, I absolutely agree, SPM for PC will be higher. I don't use +H when I play medic. I use magnum ammo in hardcore mode for every class except engineer. I like to kill people more.

Does magnum ammo make a big difference? I keep getting whacked by snipers and die in one hit...seems unlikely that people are so consistent with headshots, so I am guessing it helps a lot?

+H is a slot 1 spec, the only thing you lose from not having it are optics or grenades/ammo. +R is the slot 2.

~~

Magnum ammo increases bullet damage by 25%. Body armor increases health by 25%. Marksmanship * training decreases recoil by 25%. Magnum is a very good spec, yes, but it isn't always essential.

Marksmanship is usually a better spec with low damage/high ROF weapons like the MG3 or the PP2000.

Ah ok. I don't have the MG3 or PP2000 yet, but a bit more damage with the bolt action rifles would be handy.

Magnum ammo won't make the bolt action rifles a one shot kill at range without a headshot. While it will increase the OHK range, it won't be sniper distance. If that makes any sense.

So all those times I get whacked with one hit have got to be headshots, then - guess I need to practice more. I have a hard time getting the elevation right for longer shots..if I get a body hit they just run away.

Has anyone kept count?
