Yup. I was trying to get silver on AEK. The next round, I switched to AN-94 after getting the silver, I started to own again. My reflex tells me to do just like that since 2142. I should have used handling spec instead of magnum.

Also, the recon was using Thompson, not 1911. Either way I don't stand a chance with AEK and the way I use it.

Fraps didn't help either. I had way more hitreg missed while recording, especially when using high ROF guns.

Wow...a Thompson? People still use those? I used to use it as Engineer but finally got fed up with how completely worthless it is, especially compared to the UMP, and haven't used it since.

And I know what you mean about the AEK. It's the only gun I actually have platinum on and I was really pressing to get those last 50 kills. It seemed like I would get stomped by just about everyone I came up against regardless as to what weapon they were using. Could have just been lag (game's been laggy as hell for me lately) or bad reg...with the AEK you can never tell.

Right click, aim, shoot, you wont die so much..

I'm not so sure. Hip shooting is surprisingly effective in this game. The sniper he was facing was kneeling down using a pistol, so he's a stationary target. A bit of back-and-forth sidestepping while bursting (or at that range even full auto would have worked) would have thrown off his aim and more often than not gotten him a kill. I find that the more I stay still (which, when you ADS, is essentially what you're doing) the more I get killed, so I only stop moving when it's necessary.

Prefer to RPG or C4 then Uav's as you get 100points for a vehicle kill & 50 for the person. ( and it counts towards your kill 500 vehicles insignia)

Re: Who was the genius that thought of UAV placement in Conquest?

This isnt really a factor at all when you consider you can take out a UAV in 3 pistol shots.

Wow, I need to try that. I normally just let them go...or go for a knife kill.

Re: Who was the genius that thought of UAV placement in Conquest?

It was done because otherwise the same people that cried about the jets in BF2 would be bitching up a storm about UAV whores..........the are making sure that the UAV never becomes a game wining factor in conquest.

Re: Who was the genius that thought of UAV placement in Conquest?

LOL, I actually got a kill with the UAV minigun today on Laguna Alta. All other tries at using the UAV on other maps resulted in me getting picked off from an entire base away by an SMG (Atacama) or RPG'd (Panama). Just makes the UAV worthless, which is a shame because it's kinda fun to fly.

On Rush they are but when you get to the 2nd stage the magic sheild gets removed and your vunrable, as for conquest I dont think theres any real purpose for using it as you wont survive long enough to get the most out of it.

You can have 2 UAV's on Nelsons Bay.

I discovered this the other day.....i think it must be related to the bug where if on the UAV you are out of the playing area and commit suicide if the first two objectives get taken and the team moves up. nothing like having a hellfire coming down every 12 seconds from 2 different uav's......

Re: Who was the genius that thought of UAV placement in Conquest?

I think UAV placements should only belong to bases or safe spawns, but again, which one?

Two UAVs duke it out in the air? LOL. Dogfight on an RC scale.

That and you can shoot a UAV down with any weapon.
