My interwebs are playing up on my xbox and I kept getting cut out from games. It's actually not cool. Probably going to have to resort to stabbing a couple of people.

higher ranked players have gold tags, low ranked players have bronze tags.

^mine was too.

Managed a couple of reasonable games last night, then got booted to dashboard on the third which would have been a cracker score too.

I haven't had any of these issues yet, although I still haven't had this that long and managed to sink that much time into it yet. Connections have always been solid so far (touch wood).

Joined a game with sockmerchant yesterday that had me raging, though. I seriously died within half a second of spawning about five times in a row!

But I had a couple of awesome games with smaller teams late last night (three or four per side).

I can't stand when you squad up with a whole squad of "recons" when you're on attack; mostly because respawning with them is usually about as good as respawning back at your base, but also cos they're typically very little help.

Yeah, I played a match like that last night! Was super fun. I think a couple of guys saw my ghillie suit and tried to take me on in close quarters - big mistake

They need to change the ranking system so it works on both your points and skill level. Especially when it comes to unlocking additional weapons, items, etc. Its silly how someone on the attacking team can rank up when they sit at the back of the map sniping. Also, if your skill level falls below a certain level then you should be demoted and have items taken away. This would provide more of an incentive to play harder and more importantly, be a team player!

I'm still amazed at how many players on the attacking team select the sniper class and camp at the back of the map. They do little to help the attacking team win and if they're in your squad spawning on their position gains little!

They also needed to ensure that class balancing was a part of the multiplayer game. That is, balance the number of snipers, medics, etc during any given round. Maybe even limit the number of snipers on the attacking team to 2 or something. I can't believe how many games I've lost where most of the team sits back and camps!!!


Finally, just got my KDR up to 2.81 (and climbing) and not one kill by sniping!!!

When I snipe I try my best to help the team in every way. As Mau posted I try to do those very things to help the team when the opponent is disarming the bomb.
