Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I was really annoyed today when i was playing...

I was playing as specialist. I tagged atleast one tank and one APC(i think i tagged enemy support dude accidentally too). And no one didn't lock onto them and destroy them...

So after i was caught by the APC, i spawned as demolition myself. The tank was already gone by then, and when i locked to the APC and fired, someone else apperantly destroyed it...

I was so pissed at that point, mainly because no one destroyed them earlier, and im sure that there was demolition guys around...

I just hope that DICE/EA will fix the mic problems ASAP, because you really can't communicate in this game right now... Atleast i haven't been able to do so properly...

Also, sometimes when I DO tag vehicles, I don't even get an assist for it. Sometimes, I get two assists for one vehicle...

Is the assist for helping destroy the vehicle, or help hit it? I've gotten the bonus after both...

And EA have never seemed to be big on VOIP, nobody used it in BF2/2142, everybody used Teamspeak or similar programmes...

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I think the specialist is a bit of a useless class to be honest. I prefer the shotgun up close and I don't need someone to tag a tank for me so I can hit it with a rocket. I can do that quite well on my own. Overall I think the demolition class with mines is better for taking out vehicles than the specialist and unless there is some changes I can't see myself playing it at all.

The specialist class is meant to team up with the demos to take out the tanks effortlessly and easily.

Me and my friend did this and the two of us combined took care of any armor problems that would require 3 or more demos to take care of. I simply paint the target and then he doesn't even have to be in the line of sight of the tank and simply fires a rocket which takes out the tank.

Sadly both classes are only usable in close range. I find the Specialist to be as capable as the demo in combat as he has more range and still can kill anyone really fast close up.

Demolition, loving the SPAS, taking out vehicles with my rocket launcher and anyone inside a building. Destroying the objective as well.

Is it just me or does almost no one play support. I find that most people are either recon, assault or demo. Support is definitely underplayed. They can heal themselves and their squad and also own from short to mid range.

Is ANYBODY else using the Specialist's transponder beacon thing? I feel like in games, i'm the only person using it!

Today I went specialist because we were getting harmed by 2 tanks and 2 apc's. I marked everything and then was yelling at my teammates to just point at them to lock on and then fire in the air. Some of them where demolition I know because when I died I spawned next them. It was to no avail so I just went demo my self and took care of it so easily.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Right now I play as Recon since most of the new players just let me Head Shot them for +5 all night long. Went 18-0 and 16-0 last night. Most of the time I play Specialist when fighting to take Crates or defending them. Recon when I feel like plucking fools from afar. Support on infantry heavy levels like Ascension.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

U mean the tracer dart?

I use it when ever im playing as specialist, and im in a sweet spot to use it...

My bad. I always hear 'transponder located' from the guy, and forgot the real name :P

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Specialist at mid-range is pretty awful. Assault is the best for mid-range.
And shotguns easily own specialists... if you're accurate enough.

I know specialist is only good at close range but support then owns assault at mid range. I think the only thing going for the assault is the fact that they have the grenade launcher to go through buildings and can heal themselves quickly. But they are beat in combat for every situation except for sometimes in the medium range area.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I think the specialist is a bit overpowered in close quarters. There gun just runs everyone. I think assualt is less useful in this game then the past battlefields as it gets destroyed at close and medium range. Also sometimes the guns feel very weak when playing assault but never when playing the other classes.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I didn't, and I only heard other people talking at the end of the round... before the game restarted... Wasn't a particularly good round for me :P

Hmm.. I couldn't hear anyone... Maybe it was because i turned my mic on in the game...
