Couple of things about kiling armour I've picked up on today; hitting them in the turret does seem to work better, there seems to be some sort of way to one-shot tanks with RPG-7s, and as a machinegunner spamming tanks with .50 kills any assisting engineers or escaping crew. I'm going to do some mo...

Only been skimming through this topic, so maybe this has already been mentioned, but apparently vehicle upgrades apply to the UAV - so the one that detects nearby enemies lets you fly around automatically spotting enemies for the team, and the alternate fire upgrade for weapons (which I havent got -...

Fucks sake. Every day at around 8pm the servers shit themselves and stop letting people log in. Today they've added crashing to desktop fun. I've started the game five times so far, and it crashes after a few minutes of being logged in. Every. Time. I hadn't been getting any crashes before today.

112, the newest one is yours :D

pnut were you the one on the top floor of that building right near the enemy's thing to blow up that had most of the walls blown out so everyone could see when we spawned on you

I got two gold stars and two "ace player" pins from those rounds. The "Ace" pin is what bf2's gold star used to be, so I dont know what the gold star was. As much as I like achievement/challenge/etc whoring the ones in bc2 start to get a bit meaningless after a while - at the end...

I like this a lot. Feels like some of the good bits of cod mixed with the good bits of bf2. The way the buildings and maps are designed make it feel much less open than the bf2 maps but at the same time offer you plenty more routes as there's more buildings to go through rather than just having to m...

For pre-BF2 games you just have to put the CD keys in, for BF2 and 2142 you need to put the username/passwords for those games, even if they're different/different to whatever other EA account thingers you have. I had them nearly all different as well, worked in the end

I was playing, then crashed, now I can't log in. I imagine the master servers are just getting hammered since it's prime time on a friday night

You get a gun or two (one is broke) and a number next to your name in the friends list showing veteran level

I thought that but when I looked at the unlocks page from the main menu it didn't suggest there were any pre-requisites, unlike the other unlocks. Oh well, no matter. I've added a BACON icon. If anyone has a better one let me know and I'll replace. The repair tool, ammo box and medkit are the first...

I think they nerfed the semi-auto sniper a bit more and now it's even more fucking useless.

The default one you're given was better than that anyway

Don't talk about deject's mom like that

I tried to make a cage for dejects mom next to the robo that is rising out of the ground

I think robo, existing only as two tracks and a few square walls, tried to excavate himself into existence and flooded the joint

The multiplayer sounds so horribly disappointing. Bunch of bellends and their 'shit for windows shit'. Good job, take one of the major strengths of the computer and beat it down until it's a console-like abortion.

I figured there were others, but I never see them on xfire

I think the only 5punkers left playing eve are me and friz, though not together or anything

The cooldown is terrible, if I spot one sniper and then try to spot the one five foot to his right I cant for like 30 seconds.

I did that yesterday with the M24, his body somehow fell out of it and plummeted to the ground, and his gunner just sat there spinning around until it hit the ground
