Are there many PS3 players here? I'd like to have someone I can actually blame for losing.
I'll be on PS3 this wkend... haven't played for ages though.

For some reason when things like that happen to me my heart beats at about three times it's normal rate. But it's only a computer game. Oh and I'm normally the bravest person on my team, it's the only way to get points. Most of the team spend the entire map sitting in a bush 4 miles away.
Noting better than getting behind four or five people and backstabbing them and those that respawn.
I like to snipe in hardcore mode. I like to take a good vantage point of the bomb points and protect the bombers as they run in and then protect the bomb as it counts down.
There really isn't as much team work as i thought there would be. A little voice communication and teams would walk over other teams.

Yeah but the potential is there for massive tactical battles. As it is at the moment the game is kind of a free for all, but still massively fun, plus when you do run into someone on your team that understands how to work together you can rape all in your path.
I keep completely embarrassing myself whenever I try vehicles. Usually just end up failing miserably at some three point turn whilst enemy squads take potshots at me with rockets and grenades, teammates all calling me a feckwit and telling me to get off the server. Then I reach the point of humiliation where I just jump out and run away as fast as I can, leaving the tank to the enemy who promptly kill all my teammates with it.
Strictly a foot soldier now, no more vehicles. Despite the fact I've only tried two of them

I got fecking annihilated last night. It was my first time trying the red dot sight and it did not go well.
Which assault weapons are best? I have been using the F2000, but the recoil is pretty severe.

I strongly question the sexuality of those who sit in a building beside a flag in a tank on conquest. Strap on a pair and play the game properly.
I used the XM8 until I unlocked the AUG (the one after F2000), as you say the F2000 has a lot of recoil and is quite weak.
I tried the Aug last night, too. Seems to be a better alternative to the F2000. I still got my ass kicked regardless. Ideally I'd like to target people, just hold the button and riddle them, but that doesn't seem to be very successful. Short bursts seems the best method. More realistic I'm sure, but I keep losing track of my target.
I've also unlocked the next sight (zoom x4 or something), but haven't used it yet. I can't be any shitter than I was with the red dot.

You can. I don't use the 4x scope, it's fecking impossible to shoot someone closer than 100 yards away.
I creep round the edge of the map, and only venture out to shoot people in the back and then nick their position, at which point I usually die.
It works quite well on Rush though. I often end up behind the defending team and feck their defensive line up (not that they usually need any help).
I still can't fly helicopters
I'd just follow you, give away your position every few seconds and then revive you constantly so you run out of ammo. I love it when people do that to me.
The HK 416 with a sight and magnum ammunition or the foregrip is probably the best assault class weapon. Remember if charging the enemy to aim high, they will go down faster if hit in the head.
The foregrip is a decent bit of kit. The Aug, red dot sight, and foregrip was actually leading to some success for me earlier.
I tried the 4x scope. It sucks balls. It might be useful on certain maps, though. But since it insists on putting me on the same map time after time after time, I didn't get a chance to find out.
Maybe later.

Just got a 32 - 8 sniping, easily my best score, hung about in back play like a camping bitch. Worked a treat, i ran out of ammo at one stage and managed to knife a sniper and take his gun and run back to behind their lines.
I got cocky and stupidly shot at a UAV and missed the second shot and that was my undoing. I could almost see the UAV station from where i was so i should of just shot the controller.

Anyone got the new maps yet?
New maps?
How many dog tags have you lot got? What rank are you etc?

Map pack was released today on PC. Consoles gamers will get it "soon."
I am rank 8. No idea how many dog tags I have. I'll have a look tomorrow.
I'm rank 15. Got something like 50 dog tags.
I'm only rank 3, but I have 35 dog tags
Rank 8, probably only have about 15-20 tags.
I have 5 dog tags. Can anyone enlighten me as to how you get them and what purpose they serve?
They're a trophy from your stabbing victims. Knife someone and you get their dog tags.
Sounds like they aren't new maps as much as they are alternate modes on existing maps.
Since I started playing this online, I have been kicked from games twice. Just tried to start a game as normal, pick class, etc, then boom, "you have been kicked from the game." I mean, I'm shit, but I'm not that shit.
They must know me or something...

How fecking annoying is it when you've taken part in one of those games that has gone on for over 30 minutes, only to lose at the end. That's a rhetorical question, by the way, but feel free to agree with me.
I have now reached the lofty rank of 13. Obtained pretty much everything in the Assault class, and just started the Medic class today. Unlocked the defibrillator in my last game, but haven't used it yet. I'm looking forward to trying it out on the enemy.
This game takes a hefty dump, and smears it all over the face of MW2 online.

I hated MW2 but I have heard nothing about this game. Might get it.
I hate it when you are 30 seconds from winning and they blow up the second station... then the other team seems to always cakewalk the other stations.
You should. They are both FPS's, obviously, but totally different gaming experiences. In my opinion, BC2 is much more rewarding, and absolutely less frustrating.
What's the team play like? Does anyone bother to do it? All my mates have MW2 so I'd have to try and be tactical with strangers which hardly ever works.
That happened to me earlier. Although I'll take that scenario over being teamed with a bunch of fruits, who can't manage to work together in order to seize ONE station. I've experienced that a few times. It's embarrassing.
It's quite clever, in that there are incentives to work together. For example, if you are in an Assault squad you can supply ammo to team mates. When they pick it up you gain points. Same thing if you're a Medic. You throw out med packs and gain points when team members pick them up. As you gain points and rank up, you unlock other gadgets/abilities that can help out your team.
That's not to say that everyone understands the concept of teamplay, inevitably, you will encounter some feckwits. But the plus points outweigh the negatives. For me, anyway.
Yea that sounds something like what I'm looking for. MW1 was alright because you could do team party chat in Search and Destroy but since they got rid of that in MW2 it annoyed me.
Cheers.
I hate it when your in a squad and you're pretty far forward, and a couple of you die, and instead of remaining hidden the last guy goes and gets stupidly shot so you have to start at the start spawn again instead of pressing their base.
fecking great game online.
Downloaded the demo of this the other day. It seems nice enough but why would you play the mp instead of CoD?
What does everyone think of the SP mode?
For me it's a bit seen it all before.. destructible scenery is nice though.
