11. take jet and make kamikaze attack into other jets.

I would imagine that's hard but yet again i suck with jets.

They really need to add contrast option! Fucking cunts.

What seems to be the problem? Maybe I can help you out.

10. fly helicopter and crash it instantly

Last time I checked, it takes practice to fly those things.

1. Never join a squad
3. Jump in a vehicle on their own and drive off

These are my two biggest complaints.

6. Only weapon they know is usas-12

I was in a match where almost everyone was using that weapon.. In Operation Metro. They need to tone down it's power for that weapon.

Ya that level usually has the most players using that gun. Probably because it's close combat but it's usually fun with everything exploding everywhere

Why do I sometimes get 0 xp for Jets even though I did loads of stuff in a map? Anyone know?

[kupo]

They need to nerf the fucking noob weapons famas and usas, the weapons for pussies

It's just stupid it's not there, can't be hard to implement.
Anyway, it's just there are times when it's really sunny outside, almost blinding, and pretty much pitch black in other parts of the level.

Yea I figured you had the same issues.

I don't like that they did that but once you fix your TV settings, you will understand why they did it.

They did this to make all these things come into play. Darkness, smoke, shadow, sun, etc. etc.

There's no other way they could've done this (meaning, normally people can fix all this by changing TV settings, giving them an advantage).

But there's a way to minimize all of this and at least display it the way they intended it. that is to fix your TV settings to how they should be.

I'll post mine and let me know if this works for you.

Contrast: 85
Brightness: 32 (this is easy to adjust and normally is different for every TV, let me know if you wanna know how to get the perfect number)
Sharpness: 0 (read somewhere that 0 is supposed to be naturally, everything over it is manipulation)
Backlight: 8
Gamma: +3

PS3 is set to limited in RGB range.

The brightness in the game is set 1 point above. If you go to the main menu before jumping in a room or campaign, it lets you set brightness in-depth. You will see the number 3, there's a point after which the screen will have be too bright that it looks washed out, i realized that after the first unit to the right, it reaches that point...thus why I chose 1 unit to the right.

It really depends on how your TV is but that setting is generally acceptable over anything way out of the ordinary. So try that and tell me if you like it. Gamma is extremely important and I hope your TV has that setting, should have it.

What do you normally do in a round?

[Wolf616]

What do you normally do in a round?

In a Jet? Destroy land, sea & air vehicles, shoot the fuck out of anyone on the ground and so on ad nauseum. Sometimes it gives me XP for all this, sometimes it doesn't.

weird, the only thing that ever happened to me with jets is that it wouldn't count the kills...but that's about it. did you confirm it by checking your stats?

[mudshark]

What's e fucking problem with the USAS with frag rounds, if it kills fuckers easily...so what.

Isn't the game all about killing fuckers (well it certainly helps).

I guess these people are the "try hards" someone mentioned earlier.
It is funny though when kill someone with a feeble weapon like the Klobb in Goldeneye or crowbar in Half Life and gauntlet in Quake etc.
I guess its these people that choose to gimp themselves and not use overpowered weapons and baically delivberately choose to use the underpowered weapons that messes up what little balance there is because every weapon is overpowereed to an underpowered weapon also tis one or the other, either 1 is overpowered or 1 is underpowerd it cannot be both.
I keep seeing people claim that Shotguns are underpowered and those same people also claim the USAS is overpowerd, it makes no sense to me.
They want the weapons balancing to what feeble weapons they feel are not noob which is wrong.

USAS is just fine, people complaining about it just can't deal with getting raped by that gun so bad lol.

[Sufi]

I don't like the frag ammo but I don't get raped by it. My only issue is that when I'm getting hit by it, the obvious part being the huge sound that completely disorients you, on top of that it produces an excessive amount of suppression, rendering you useless as far as fighting back.

When I use it, I can get a lot of kills with it...but then it makes me wanna play without paying attention to gun mechanics...so I try not to use it because I want to keep the skill intact.

It's good enough to be used in almost all situations but it ruins the game for me (sorta like thermal scope did until the patch) because my enemies never recover from being suppressed so I can reload and go back at them if I missed the first time.

If I wanted a high KDR, I could just stick with vehicles and planes and keep this shotty up all the time...but that gets boring and not challenging enough. I almost quit the game the day I got on the jet because it was almost too easy to take out the tanks (since you can easily spot them), then I went hardcore mode and realized that the game still had challenge. My average with the jet was around 10-18 kills every game...with as little as 0-3 deaths (mostly suicides).

Like I said, I almost quit the game.

If you are playing with/against people that have a clue it's not too hard to take down jets. I've shot one down several times with the tank before.

[mudshark]

What really annoys me is when we are getting slaughtered by choppers (say on Canals) nobody jumps in my 3rd tank seat to light them up (either they havent unlocked it or they cant be bothered ((or the fact they get virtually zero points for doing it)) (((sort that out Dice)))..

thats got to be a record for the amount of brackets in a post!!!

It's almost impossible to take down jets. 1) They made the amount of hits that can be taken to like...2. Instead of 1. 2) You get flares back quicker. 3) If you go a certain pattern (fly straight), almost impossible to be shot down no matter how many people you have shooting.

never been in the third seat so i'm probably one of those people that don't get in lol.

I've managed to shoot down a good number of jets and helicopters in the AA gun emplacements, some of them got so annoyed they started crashing into me and stealing tanks to come and blow me up

What exactly do you need to have unlocked and be in the third seat in order to "light them up". Please be as specific as possible.

[daLa]

Rendezook won the trip to DICE with his mid air rpg kill jet swap, this is even harder because of the snipe kill and getting on the other jet so this would have won too bad he did it too late lol.

There's not a single AA gun in the game right now that can hit a jet if you know what you're doing.

I can literally go in a straight line and not get hit by an AA launcher of any kind. If a jet is coming back or flying around you then it is possible, but if you're just going back and forth in a straight line, no way in hell it's possible right now after the AA rockets were nerfed and jets were buffed.

[jocomat9]

the usas is the only shotty overpowered with frag that is.(maybe frag can be adjusted) They just need to lower the damage of the frag ammo and maybe take out fewer pellets and flechetes. I want them to make it like the other automatic Shotty. SSH!T lol so everyone that got lots a kills with it are stuck with a shitty weappon now XD

for me, as long as they lower the crazy sound effects and the suppression element. otherwise i don't think it's any different than other guns much. it does have its disadvantages as well. Just that I've been able to get crazy kills with it at medium ranges...especially in closed off areas. but it does take longer than a regular gun at that range. up close it can basically blind your opponents completely, which for me is the overpowered aspect.
