Okay, I'm getting the demo for the weekend! :D

Well, I need some general tips on how to play; I can't find that many guides on YouTube or anything; I haven't got to play quite yet, but from what I've seen, it looks like Medal of Honor, but actually good/decent. If like the game enough, I may buy it, but we'll see (especially if I rage a lot, then I definitely won't).

But yes, any good advice will be appreciated. What loadouts should I use first? What BP rewards should I use? I like the look of some of the drones (they look good for killing campers, which are something I HATE), but I'm not sure.

Battlepoints: Airburst RPG and Mg Drone
Gun: M249
Attachment: A-Cog (MK2 A-Cog as a preferably)
Perk 1: Penny pincher
Perk 2: Grave-Robber

Well, I played for a bit. I actually didn't get pissed off; had very mixed results, such as hovering around going even, then a 4:1, then a 3:1, then a negative game. K/D doesn't seem to be as important in this game, along with getting killstreaks, which makes the game a lot more fun, and there's a lot less douchebags just hiding in stupid areas trying to get killstreaks, and actually playing for action/fun/the objective. I got stupid teams (people somehow worse than me) for the most part, but I got the good players some of the time.

Ground Control is awesome; like Domination meets War/Rush. Love the game mode. Vehicles work well, but are easy to take out when appropriate which is how it should be (for once). I like the damage in this game; you seem to take enough damage to die quickly, but not to a bullshit extent like Call of Duty, but not unloading into people like BF. I wish the pistol was a little stronger, because it takes a majority of your magazine in order to kill somebody.

All the weapons actually feel like they're usable, and non really stand out to me (at least so far) as overpowered. I like the BP system, and I really, really like the infantry skills idea. The Parrot is my favourite BP device so far; it almost always pays for itself, and helps the entire team.

My favourite weapon so far easily has to be the Diablo submachine gun. Within that range, that weapon rapes people before they even know what happened


My only question is: why is this game so hated/ignored? Yeah, it's not the next "OMG THIS IS AMAZING" game, but it's pretty good, and isn't rage-inducing with bullshit so strong, that you can smell it when you pick up the disc *glares at CoD and BC2* I haven't had any problems with the hit detection, and I only had one small lag spike that made me die. I just don't understand what's so bad about this game. So far, I give it an 8-8.5/10. But I've only played for 4-5 hours, so I need to give it more time I think.

I love the game but the lobby and matchmaking are a bit on the iffy side. Also the dedicated servers aren't very good but the demo is testing a new infastructure for them so thats a bonus for me. By the way my favourite gun is the XM-10, it kills quick recoil is straight up and with a Holosight you can rape shit from close to medium, with single shot long. But yeah best gun evar.

Glad you enjoy the game by the way.

for a new player (rank 1-10)

ACR (best all round gun)
Silencer (dont show on the minimap while firing)
Flashbang (until you unlock C4)
---
RPG (for Humvees)
Parrot Drone (experting this drone is an easy way to get fast XP)
---
Situational Awareness (so useful for counter attacking)
Tactical Reload
Drone Be Gone (increases drone speed)
My Buddy (increases drone battery = lifespan)


overall best setup (IMO) - extra ability point at level 25.

T3AK
Silencer
C4
---
Ammo Resupply
RPG
---
Ghost
Situational Awareness
Tactical Reload
Steady Aim

I"ll have to try those setups out; so far, it's really hard for me to make classes, because I can barely read what the text says on my screen.

I know I have Ice Cold on everything, because it said it prevented you from dying to airstrikes, and that is something that pisses me off A LOT in every game I play; and I think I have Situational Awareness on most things, because I was experimenting with it, except for my sniper class, which I just switched to Drone B Gone to see how much faster it went (my class with the parrot). I'm a really low level, so I don't have much unlocked yet (which is a huge disadvantage, I'm noticing). I tried Tactical Reload, and I didn't really notice that it helped much, because you reload so quickly anyways, and you're usually far away enough that it's safe most of the time.

Ice Cold stops you being visible by airstrikes, you can still die if one lands on you. it just makes it harder for airstrikes to get you.

avoid groups of allies of youre using Ice Cold, as enemies target groups and if they dont have Ice Cold on, your allies will be a big 'BOMB US' sign with you in the middle...

Yep, kinda figured that. I travel alone whenever possible anyways, so it is nice. I saw 5-6 airstrikes yesterday, and I wasn't killed by one, so it seems to be working.

yup, its working

it also makes you invisible (YES, INVISIBLE!!!! ) to the M200, since you cant turn the thermal vision off on the M200

Are you going to be on later? I'll add you.

I'm having fun, except for most of my deaths are:

1.) To vehicles (oh well)
2.) Trying to cap flags vs. 3-4 people (I usually get most of them, but I just can't fight off all of them) while my teammates get an erection, tear off their dick, stick it to the floor, then bounce up and down on it in the back of the map.

yeah ill be on tonight. imma try to play as long as i can since its study leave and i have the week off to revise.

Okay, I'll add you in a bit. Random teammates...how you are worse than somebody who just got the game, I will never know, lol. They don't seem to like to cap flags at all.

Also, I noticed that the Scout doesn't seem worth buying compared to the tank. It always gets shot down in a second by a billion rockets it seems. I wish they would tell you vehicle controls too. I know the scout has flares, but forgot how to use them. I think it's either LT or A

Oh my god this made me laugh Bob.

its A, but you have to have the missile defense perk in order to have flares.

and yes, the battle tank >>>>>>>>>>>>> scout.
in fact the battle tank >>> any vehicle (even the atack heli)

xD Well, at least I made you laugh, makes me laugh too, so I don't feel so mad.

Yeah, the Battle Tank seem pretty awesome. I can't use the Attack Heli yet though, I noticed, even if I get enough points.

hahah oh man i missed that too, AC +1 to bob

Oh, xD

But anyways, is the Scout a waste of BP? Or are there times when it's actually good? Also, I put Ghost on my sniper class, just for kicks with Ice Cold. Do many people actually use Personal UAV? I rarely, if ever activate mine. It's not as useful as it looks, really. I only use it when I'm capping objectives with my SMG, so I get a bit of an early warning.

So far, I'm still enjoying the game, but I'm starting to feel a little bit of anger towards teammates, but oh well. I cap the objectives constantly, and fight back against vehicles, so I noticed I die more than some players. xD But I'm always in the top half of the scoreboard, so I'm not too bad. I noticed that killstreaks/ good K/D don't really matter as much in this game (even though they're still nice to get). As long as your teammates don't feed the other team BP by dying too often, and as long as you actually go for objectives, good things seem to happen.

in terms of demo:

USE THE UAV, no-one has ghost yet BWAHAHAHAH!
DONT USE ICE COLD, no-one has airstrikes or thermals yet

in terms of actual game:

ICE COLD IS A LIFESAVER

DONT USE UAV, you WILL get slaughtered by people who use ghost, since you will get complacent. it happened to me many a time before i stopped UAVing

So just temporarily swap? Also, you get Ghost around lvl 7-8 I think? But I haven't seen anybody with it, so I probably should use it. I'll switch out Ice Cold; I haven't seen any thermal snipers or airstrikes really (except for hellfire).

yup. once people get ghost unlocked you should switch it out.
its VERY useful in the meantime.

and the same with ice cold, there's no point as the main threats atm are parrot drones, UAV scans and using unsilenced weapons. but switch for ice cold once people start using hellfires.

Also, why the fuck does everybody else get a heat-seeking missile launcher but me? I watch lower level players locking onto vehicles, and watch the vehicle curve in the air and hit things, and my chopper constantly gets shot down by them. But NONE of my missile launchers EVER lock on.

they are either using the Rhino Drone or the LAV turret. both lock on to targets and follow them.

the rocket launchers (RPG and Proximity) do not track.

Oh, it's probably the turrets and Rhino then. When do you get the Rhino?

Also, I've fallen in love with the light tank; as long as heavy tanks aren't around, it seems to work very well against infantry.

Another note:

If this game had vote to kick for shitty teammates, it would be awesome.

Terible teammates are a constant in this game, just depends which side ends up with the most.

Some notes I will add. you asked about the scout, don't use it it is garbage. The heavy tank is the best vehicle in the game and it costs the same amount.
I don't use ghost or cold blooded much, I don't fear UAV scans and airstrikes are only a problem on infantry maps.
SMGs are amazing on the move, LMGs should come with a tent because you almost need to camp wiht them a bit to be effective.
M200 is still junk, headshots with sniper rifles are inconsistant to me.
White phospherous will not kill people on rooftops or under any sort of cover, cluster bombs will, but have less radius.
RPGs with boomer will destroy a humvee in one shot if you nail him.
if your in a heli and you have a rhino on you, it doesn't take much to break a lock on. a thick tree or a billboard will buy you a few seconds.

Thanks! The bad thing is, I only have the demo, so none of the airstrikes and such are there, but I might get the game someday.

I noticed what you mean about the scout; I want to try out the attack chopper, but I can't, because it's the demo.

I've had a couple good runs in the scout but it comes down to the enemy team has to just totally ignore you for the most part. Also it helps to sweep from one side of the map to another after every kill.
