I've only had a UAV once!

Used to use it all the time in the demo but havent done as much recently.

Think the upgrade on the machine gun is when it's displayed as "UAV1"

 

[Scutch]

Got the Dentist achievement

Also got 6k points in one Conquest round. Was well chuffed. My squad were all spawning on me. Just finished playing. F*cking love it TBH.

 

[VeinAST]

Got the Dentist achievement

What does that involve??

Hard one I've seen is the roadkill one in a helicopter!

 

[JB]

Where's the cheapest place to get this?

Got the first and I was amazed by the audio and visuals - really atmospheric.

The MP demo of BC:2 is fun too. Love stalking the Apache from the ground with RPGs

Demo isn't a patch on the full game, either. I didn't get on too well with the demo.

I like that you get other players dog tags when you knife them

 

[RDH]

I really don't have a clue what is going on in the MP in this!

I never even played the demo

 

[oska]

What night time map?

Nelson Bay in Rush mode, it's a good laugh. Frozen rivers and s**t.

 

[AK]

Are the servers down ATM?

 

[oska]

Yep, until about midday. Last of the repairs.

 

[iain187]

well timed for me to plan to come online after the F1 qually!

 

[Brazo]

Yeah its great! Assuming as in BC1 you also get the points of their level so if they are level 17 you get an additional 17 points?

 

[AK]

It back online yet? I can't be arsed going downstairs to check lol!

 

[iain187]

i got a well good helo kill before... i shot it down with a tank but it kept saying stuff like avenger kill, flag defence etc and i got 400 points for one chancer shot

 

[jamboyscott]

Someone said you can also use it to drill holes... I tried and it didn't work

i was doing this lastnight great fun drilling a hole picking people off.

 

[AK]

How's it work?

 

[AK]

Where are folk getting parachutes from??!!

 

[jamboyscott]

How's it work?

just get the repair gun and walk up to the wall and use it like you would to repair,maybe it only works on certain walks?
yeah ive seen a few boys with parachutes?
Also how does the uav work?i get maybe one or two missiles away thats it or it doesnt fire?

 

[Spiezels]

If you have alt weapon in it also has a machine gun.

The missiles come once every 30 seconds or so.

The UAV's only weapon is the alt-fire machine gun.

The missiles you 'fire' are a called-in JDAM - Hence the messages you get saying "negative, need to get back into position..."

 

[AK]

LOL @ 2 mins in..

[richy22]

For those that have played it more than me what's the best way to get maximum points with each equipment perk??

Like Recon, Assault, Medic, Engineer??? I tried Medic but couldn't figure out how to heal people???

 

[VeinAST]

Ah awesome!! Ill be trying that this evening

You have to unlock the medi kits lol. Seemed daft to me aswell but you get them soon enough

Assault - Drop ammo and get kills
Medic - Revive and heal players
Engineer - Repair and destroy vehicles
Recon - Spot targets and get marksman points for long range head shots

The other way for all classes.

Get assist or avenge kills.

Kill someone enough without them killing you to make them your nemesis.

Aim at a target like A/B in rush and hit select/back to order your squad mates to attack/defend them. If you're attacking and give the order and someone plants a bomb after that you get points. The same for defending if someone disarms the bomb after you give the order.

It doesn't work if they were already planting/disarming the bomb and they have to do it all before the flashing icon over A/B stops.

Also if you are in a squad and any of the above happens in combination with a squad mate you get an added bonus.

When you jump off a building double press X (PS3) and it will deploy making your landing not certain death.

 

[AK]

On all classes?

 

[Spiezels]

Aye

 

[AK]

So can somebody with the better console confirm this is the 'A' button ?

 

[James28]

I think its whatever the jump button is, just keep banging it when your in the air that way you definitely know its out lol

 

[AK]

I've unlocked all bar one of the snipers and they're all rubbish and worse stats than the first one. What's the point of that lol?

 

[Scutch]

Better rate of fire basically. Less time to reload.
