im also a eng/support. i can mortar lame and rpg lame. the only class i have not touch is assualt.

recon is totally useless when it becomes a tank/plane war. they got to get rid of infinity ammo on hardcore. while you only get 3-5 rpg. while they have a repair buff. its bs. stingers and javs are even more worthless. the lock is too long even when its deadeye on target.

they should have c4, mines, claymores to recon class. they dont even get the cool jonny 5 bot. they need a patch asap.

i disagree, its suposted to be a game where a strong team does exceptionally well, and it is. as a recon, your job isnt to be a pussy sniper who can take out a tank on your own, its to be RECONNOISSANCE. tell your team mate to spawn on your beacon and fuck up the tank. use your MAV to spot the tank and theres a pretty good chance that some blueberry will make their way over eventually and take it out.

i mean, your facing a tank. its a tank! it would be bullshit if one random guy could take it out by themself.

just play with better teammates man.

[BOROSUN]

strong teamwork? like how a single tank took a squad who was watching a flag. until 3 of them switched to rpg lamas but guy was popping in and out to fix the tank.

irl tanks travel in packs or infantry scouts because if they rambo, so many ways they can be disable and destroyed. plus its limit view you can blindside it. so, yeah a single man can takeout a tank depend on the coverage. also if he has equipment.

why disagree if a recon should be allowed to carry a c4 or claymore?

also limited ammo or gas on vehicles means better sim game. = no rambo tanks. tanks are for support.

[ZilviaKid]

play on hardcore, then tell me tanks have the best visibility

and if 3 people were camping a flag and one of them wasnt an engineer then again, you just play with sucky people

[BOROSUN]

i play only hardcore.

also i was on the tank side, so yeah. i watched it all.

that just tells you a rambo tank did it with no teamwork.

dice should patch the whole game. make it a real sim war game. fuck cod.

I'm having trouble understanding your logic. One random guy can take tanks out, so long as you're not Recon. I take tanks out all the time with Mines, C4, RPG's, even Mortars.

Why do you defend the fact that Recon shouldn't have a means to destroy vehicles when, on the same page, you say

If your goal is to maintain true to the name Recon, how about SOFLAM's having "charges" and when you designate a target and hold for 3-4 sec, a bomb is dropped on it.

I mean, Recon had C4 and Mortar strikes last BF correct?

your playing against shitty people then, and your right its very easy to take out a tank if its some random pub driving it.

and the recon from BC2 was terribly over powered, i used to dominate with it because it was SO diverse that it made the other classes largly useless outside of their niche abilities.

im not denying in any way that recon sucks right now

but i think that right now its exactly what it should be

wanna blow up a tank? play another class

im not complaining about how i cant snipe someone 500m away as a medic, if i wanted to do that i would play recon..

Spoken like someone who plays one of the more rewarding classes.

[ZilviaKid]

i play every class, i choose the one that suits what my role on the team is.

Things recon can do for a team:

I don't like to play that way. I'd rather dedicate my time to one role, that way I can be the best I can be at it. To me it's unproductive to split time between multiple classes, unless you've already maxed something out (obviously just referring to unlocks, not maxed skill).

What is your time spent playing Recon?

[KiLLeR2001]

C4 needs to be a global unlock (so all classes can use it). Everything else can stay the way it is as far as equipment goes.

[WERDdabuilder]

depending on what map is being played and what mode is how i choose my class.

rush: if im attacking ill be assault cause i want to revive to get life points back. if i see that no one is putting up respawn beacons on my squad thats probably the only time ill pick recon but ill use UMP and no some shit sniper rifle. defend? yeah im going engineer all the way to set up mines and blow tanks with RPG. ill sometimes use support if im defending so i can set claymores by the comms so when they try to arm they get blasted.

conquest: engineer/assault for the most part.

recon doesnt suit my playing style.

[1on1]

I play full assault and already got my Service Star 2. It needs more perks rather than medic, imho.

[x3thelast]

hate that 50cal with the 12x scope. some guys that camp with a support class can pick off on coming people before he's even spotted.

['97 S14 SE Turbo]

Recon's with a good support player can be deadly.

MAVs with C4 attached makes a good counter mortar weapon.

Or just MAV roadkilling mortar guy...

[onehundredoctane]

I've never been big on fps's, this is the first one I've owned in years.


AND NOW I'M ADDICTED

[KiLLeR2001]

Haha, I ran some people over with the MAV earlier today, twas fun.

[WERDdabuilder]

holy FUCK, how the hell do people suck so bad and dont know how to play rush?
like i see people not even disarming. claymore around the comms? mines?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

[BOROSUN]

Honestly, most people don't give a fuck about the objectives. They are just in it for the kills. That's why I play conquest. It takes a lot less team work, haha.

[ZilviaKid]

there was an update? wtf

i miss playing for a few days and shit goes down!?

I do the same thing. I've noticed a four person squad can usually win the game for the rest of the team, unless its like metro where everyone is camping in the choke points.

ETA, I played yesterday. There was not a new update. I'm getting a solid 60fps anyway.

whats your setup?

[BOROSUN]

there was a update. around 11pm, i was playing and it shutdown. next thing i knew i had to dl a update.

Today (Tue Nov 22nd, 2011) we have updated most components of BF3 PC:



* We have released an update to the BF3 PC game client via Origin. It is ~500MB large. Everyone will be prompted to install the update.
* We have updated the master servers - mainly stability fixes.
* We have updated Battlelog - see the blog post for details.
* We have sent out a new game server build to all PC RSPs.

The new server is R9, build ID 886605.
Manual here: http://static.cdn.ea.com/dice/u/f/bf...strator_v2.zip [static.cdn.ea.com]

Battlelog will only show Server R9 or newer. This is because the new game client is no longer compatible with the older game servers. The RSPs are gradually updating their servers. As they complete the update you will see more and more servers in the browser.

Here is a near-complete changelist for the game servers:

* Support for unranked servers (vars.ranked)
* Ranked servers have a few settings as read-only (see documentation)
* Unranked servers allow changing of all settings
* Reintroduced vars.allUnlocksUnlocked for unranked servers
* The game server will parse all of Startup.txt even if an error is encountered
* vars.roundStartPlayerCount / vars.roundRestartPlayerCount handling rewritten to be more natural
* vars.maxPlayers cannot be used to go past the server's max number of slots any more
* Security updates to the game server
* Fixed several server crashes, hangs, and a 10-second stall - all of which which would make the server drop every player
* vars.gamePassword can only be invoked during server startup, not while the server is already running
* vars.teamKillCountForKick 0 will disable team kicking instead of kicking people frivolously
* banList.add would sometimes crash; fixed now
* EOD bot scoring exploit fix

If you are a server administrator that run ranked servers, then you should take note that a few settings are no longer changeable for ranked servers.
The most notable example here is that you are no longer able to set the min # of players to start a round to less than 4. This is to prevent statspadding.
Secondly, the idle timeout mechanism is always on, and set at 300 seconds on ranked servers. This is to prevent people idling for long swathes of time on ranked servers. Having idle kick at 5 minutes is harsh, and we will revisit the max timeout for Server R10 - however, we do not plan to allow for turning of the idle kick altogether.

If you are a server administrator that run unranked servers, notice that you should set the server to unranked by having a 'vars.ranked false' at the top of your Startup.txt. You must set it to unranked during the server startup; once the server is present on Battlelog, it can no longer be switched between ranked and unranked status. Once it is set to unranked, all other settings can be controlled. And yes, the setting for unlocking all weapons & gadgets (vars.allUnlocksUnlocked) is back.

so im running smoother and actually killing ppl when you aim it at them.
