It saves your information on servers, so you can gain ranks and ribbons and stuff. With ranks comes new guns. The game play is (in my opinion) an improvement on 1942 and Vietnam, and the ranking system makes it addictive. I like how the emphasis is on Global Points, which are your kills combined with flag caps, healing points, and teamwork points. I am not great at killing, so I tend to get most of my points by playing Medic or Support. Healing, reviving, or dropping ammo for other players. I started playing in early January, and I am still enjoying the game immensely. I should make Staff Sergeant by the end of the week.

My clan's server IP is "85.236.101.16 port 17173". It's well admined and a friendly place. Hop in and say hello! Avoid the "official" EA servers like the plague - they're completely unadmined and tend to attract tosspots.

Jets aren't too hard to learn (despite the mysterious bullshit and posturing of your jet pilots). Find a load of empty or near empty servers and practice. It's quite relaxing. Be wary that the J-10 is a million times better than all the other jets and trumps any skill level in the other planes. If you want to learn get the J-10 first, then move on to the others or you'll be going down every two minutes and wondering why. If you want some no-brainer jet fun, get in the second seat on the bombers - there's little to it other than point click kill although it can give you motion sickness.
Heli's take a long time to learn. It's one thing being able to keep them airborne, its another thing entirely being able to use them well. You need a good pilot and a good gunner, preferably in communication with each other. Not something you'll find on the average server. Again, try the gunners seat. It's not too difficult to pick up.

doh. no, pc.
that's if it runs well enough, i have no desire to pay hundreds of pounds for a new gfx card just yet. The beta ran okayish, struggled slightly on top settings. if i reduced the screen res it was better but there was no screen size below 1920xetc that didn't end up fkcing up the aspect ratio of the screen.
i don't care about resolution, but squashed graphics can go eat my pants.

I really like this game but those criticisms are fair. Matches can be miserable if you're on with a bunch of retards. But I still prefer the team/objective based play compared to the c/d ratio competition that's cod.

i'm not hardcore enough to make friends and have a headset and form a team and work together to complete objectives, which all sounds super fun. i just log on and play with pubbies and get instasniped 10k times and occasionally shoot a dude. it's entertaining enough for me but for people that give a shit (but not so much of a shit that they do all the hardcore player dude things) it must be really frustrating.
― adam, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i agree with that.
i seem to do okay with crap guns and few addons though. in fact in bc2 i mostly use pins insread of all those scope shit. apart from sniper.
anyway this isnt bad. its got many problems. really dont like the tactical light addition. bbl
― Summer Slam! (Ste), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
supposedly the tactical light is getting fixed in the next patch, which is good
I guess two of the main things to always keep in mind of this game is where youre at in an open position and to not blindly rush out into a situation.. sometimes you cant help it, but once I decided to slow my roll I started to do a hell of a lot better.. learning the maps is a big part of this as well.. I also learned to love the support class and the bipod. If you cant straight up kill anyone the +50 suppression bonus is a nice consolation prize.

okay so it behaved itself for the past few hours. got to rank 10 but not without a KD ratio of something quite ridiculous
additions i'm not keen on - prone, tactical light, mortars, hud stuff, maybe a bit too many add ons and kit stuff as i'm totally lost.
but i'll get used to most of those changes i'm sure.
also got this running with the gfx all on high (not ultra) and everything else switched on, and the highest res, and it runs fine.

was 7 vs 1, about 190 tickets vs 100. I was in the 7 with 4 other squad mates. decided to switch teams unilaterally so threw a grenade at feet and switched. was then 8 vs 3. we were down to 120/130 tickets vs 60/70 at one point when a squad of level 21, level 13 and level 7 colonels joined at which point we BOSSED it and eventually won by about 20 tickets
