Too true. Despite it's obvious flaws including unlimited ammo and those laughable tracer darts - I think Bad Company 2 was the last 'real' Battlefield that I got properly stuck into. I think this series, more than any other, it one that I'm keen to succeed and carry on. But the waves of anger...

Took me about 2.5 years to max out on BF2142 - I think which is around lvl 50? I'm nearly halfway there on BF4 with barely 24 hours worth of play. They've gone points crazy too. The highest achievement awards in 2142 gave you around 2,000 points. I think you get more than in BF4 for simply...

I really am tempted, you know! :) D.

You should only get the headlight washers going when the lights are on - and even then, only if you pull the washer stalk for an extended period of time. You should hear a two-tone whirr noise - the second whirr being the headlamp washer pump. I NEVER use my headlamp washers - instead I rely on...

^^^ - flol, that's not the sign of a well designed game! They assume people can't be arsed anymore. That they need the next unlock within 10mins of playing - not 10 hours of using the same character and kit. As much as the bazillion unlocks annoy me - nothing makes my piss boil more on these...

Ass-to-mouth? Does is that a game mode, one-up from tea-bagging? ;) Had a proper unlock fail earlier. Managed to get the coaxial HMG for the main battle tank. Except the ammo box now covers two-thirds of your sight to the right of the screen - PMSL! DICE...... you bewilder me at times...... you...

My plastic ones failed recently, so rather than reorder the sam type, I've gone for the aluminium variety. Hopefully they will be a little more robust. D.

Ah, is that where you normally get that warning appearing in game, saying that a strike is inbound? ^^^ - -I've NEVER understood why the majority of console games cannot have a custom control setup? What might work for the majority of devs might feel alien to you as a player. Why do you have...

Depends on how you use it. I've been using air lines for nearly 15 years and never had a problem with it. Like most things, be gentle and you'll be ok ;) Certainly the best option for cleaning out PSUs anyway. No way would you be getting me stripping one of those and getting too close to a...

How is it m8? Is it pretty straight forward? Is the commander on the battlefield too? Can he be killed? D.

Hmmmm - accuracy stats for me on the BF series (I don't count BF3 as I put about 2 hours into it!)... Battlefield 2 = 22% Battlefield 2142 = 24% Battlefield Bad Company 2 = 43% Battlefield 4 = 6% I'd suggest that from that, that the game is highly reliant on gaining accuracy through various...

Yep - I went up twice in under an hour last night :). The mechanics of the game are laughably so full of fail in Barbie Mode. Teamed up with an excellent chopper dude on that island map - me and another engineer hanging out of each side of his Little Bird. We strafed, captured, defended and...

It defaults to your jump key m8 - or on the PC it does, anyway. Run and jump of a ledge, then hit the jump key again and the parachute is deployed. D.

XCOM - Enemy Unknown for £7.49! http://store.steampowered.com/app/200510/ D.

I've seen quite a few attempting to join and then get kicked for using several different types of aimbot. Although it won't get everybody, it's nice to see that checks are in place to get rid of most of the idiots. I've never understood why people go for glitches and hacks that put them SO far...

Erm, probably about 3-4 years worth of plastic extrusion shavings, general factory dust, a few shavings of aluminium and knowing the factory lads - probably various human bits like skin, toe nails, left over bacon butties, etc.... D.

We had one PC at work where the factory floor lads complained that it was overheating and constantly shutting down. I can't think why? D.

I had a similar problem with my front wipers the other week. The middle two bolts came off quite easily with the removal tool - but the passenger side blade was an absolute b*****d to get off. D.

It's 4mm if anyone's interested..... I checked the bore of the tubing last night. D.

I much prefer being an engi. But I bet along with you and Longy, I'd make a shitload of points being support with the ammo bags! Loved that bit late on in the round, where that guy had bailed from a helo and landed on the roof down near Point B and iirc, all three of us were firing up at him...

Good round there with Longy and Racingblue182. Even if we lost - lol. :) D.

With a Stinger?! Please tell me Jedi Master as clearly it isn't working for me! Attaining lock - firing straight away? Attaining lock and awaiting them to fire their counter-measures? The vast majority fail. I've seen friendly aircraft fire upon enemies planes - only to see their missiles...

Chaps, Does anyone know what size the tubing from the washer pump to the headlights is 3mm? Bloody annoyed as I had the bumper off yesterday and could have checked myself! :o Cheers, D.

I had one game last night (not sure if Longy joined soon enough to see it?) - who was goading us to shoot down his Little Bird helo with a Stinger. I tried - and failed repeatedly. I don't expect a 100% success rate on AA - or even 50%. But I think I've only brought down one aircraft with an AA...

It is - yes, but s**t doesn't make sense any more with anti-armour roles. There was always a clearly defined range of hit boxes on armour - where accurate shots could exploit the armour's weakness. Those seem to have gone out of the window now and AT weaponry isn't much better either. I've...

I am m8 - still remember those online goes of BF2142? :cool: I've cracked lvl10 now - purely through dogged determination to have a pop at being the commander for once. The netcode is broken - regardless of ping. I've shot way ahead of people and somehow they still die. I've observed people...

Yep - blue are your team mates - green are your squad mates. You always earn more points doing squad-related tasks - capturing or defending a point when asked by your squad leader - or providing ammo, medkits or spot assists for your squad mates. Even targeting armour with a laser that then gets...

VERY impressive machining going on there! http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1352985&mid=386391&nmt=Bloodhound+SSC+Thread+As+Requested%2E%2E%2E%2E%2E D.

Ship Crashing Simulator???! I'm in! :) D.

That was my argument for the earlier titles in the series. BF1942 has no unlocks - just the kit choice you made at the spawn screen. BF2 introduced unlocks, but they were minimal and you had to play a LOT to get one of them. These days, you literally climb one ladder, fart on your chair and...
