That session was totally amazing, thanks guys! Definately the best game I've played on Live.

[Silvergun X]

It was fantastic. First session i've had online with you guys in absolutely ages.

NTSC-uk: "Level 32? Yer arse!"

Rossco is coming round to yer house, show you all how to play Recon properly

Probably the most entertaining online game i`ve ever played, the second to last game where they didn`t even get to take our first set of M-COM`s was a lesson in how to work as a team. Sensational stuff

[Silvergun X]

He is scarily good as a recon.

Tbh, every single person was on fire this evening. Everyone was healing, dropping ammo, spotting and generally ****ing the other team up

[Golgo]

anyone know when ceramic body armour and 12 gauge slugs unlock? I've been promoted past their unlock thresholds but they're still unusable, and their info panels under 'weapons and gadgets' are now glitched to buggery.

[Family Fry]

They will unlock. I think they unlock when you level up again.
I panicked when I could highlight ceramic armour but not equip it, thought it was buggered but it became useable on my next level up.

Reading all of your updates just upsets me.

This game has actually gotten worse for me in the last week playing from here. Last night it was so bad I was smashing a door down with my melee to enter a building and it took 3 seconds for it to register.

I am literally about to wipe my hands clean of it and I am considering putting my hand up to review for the website I work for just to put across a scathing Australian perspective in the media so DICE/EA may take some much needed attention.

Glad all of you are enjoying it, spare a thought for us down under that the developers seem to have forgotten about.

Alright guys! That was just sublime tonight. So much fun and so many stand out moments of both hilarity and just sheer awesomeness.

Denjin basically shadowed me the whole night reviving me if I died and giving health when I needed it. For the most part we had at least one Recon, Medic and Assault on our squad so we could always get health and ammo when needed and when you play like that as a team it just works. No-one can touch you.

To be fair we were all on fire tonight but I was making some of the best shots ever too. At one point when we were defending the first two points on I think what is called Isla Innnocentes, where there were constant barrage of snipers on the other team I could reload fast enough to shoot everyone. It was a constant stream of reload headshot reload headshot! But they did make it easy for us to be honest!

All in all though, best fun ever had playing a game online, I love you guys!

Edit: Yeh the unlocks take an extra level to actually unlock sometimes like it did for me with the Magnum Ammunition or whatever it's called.

thanks for info.

That was so much fun, best teamwork I've seen in a Battlefield game...perhaps ever!

The ultimate insult, NUK style - teabagging with a blackhawk

[capcom_suicide]

Amazing scenes. Roscco clearly was the king of the hill with his 5000 point rounds, but like he says himself the key issue was that we played like a team. Some of my lowest ever scoring rounds yet, but I got into the groove playing assualt and just did my best to keep people supplied with ammo. The other important job for assualt seems to be that we can blow holes in ****. This can really change the ebb & flow when your team can storm straight into an objective without needing to go round houses/tankers/walls. Just C4 the way in. Despite getting no points, I found that really satisfying watching people poor through my adhoc doors!

I fraking love the helicopters & it was amusing to jack theirs close to their base and fly her home for repairs. Always turns the balance of a map if you can steal their hardware.

Kinda sums up the state of their teamwork, a single lone wolf flies the helicopter over to the base and jumps out, with no backup or squad and leaving us the blackhawk to steal, with it's chain guns as a mobile defence for the team.

This game doesn't feel like an online shooter to me, it's basically a coop game, where instead of taking on A.I. you are taking on real people. Having the community we have here, and then combining it with a team based game = much fun. I've never really liked online games before, but now suddenly it feels more like GRAW to me, & without doubt one of the best online games I've played for high addrenaline kicks.

The XBL party system is also critical for teamwork between the three squads, so I hope that they don't block that. (Like COD6)

See you all soon! Going night diving this evening, but I'll be up for more on the new maps tomorrow.

I was on my own squad for part the night and wile I wasn't scoring as many points I certainly was getting some devious kills and helping out the team when I could. I did like my knife streak when they went all recon. I snuck up the left hand side using the cover of trees and rock outcrops and must have caught a few off guard each time.

Never managed to get the level 33 tags though or whatever he was. Seriously some people must have no other life to get these levels. I noticed within the first week people with levels around 28-29 and the leaderboards suggest there are a number of 50+ levels now.

Which must really hurt their feelings when the "part time army", [NUK] boys teabag their level 33 arses.

[FelixofMars]

I can only hope so, I really enjoy playing this but some people are extreme. It is always fun to upset them.
