Then what you do is decrease the range... lol.

Range was already decreased with the patch that was put out week of Christmas. Too many people complained about Akimbo 1887s. It was impossible to take over anyone that had those in their class alongside marathon and lightweight. It was just trouble waiting to happen.

I only brought that up teasingly since you wanted to make it more realistic ((in)accuracy / weight). It sounds great in theory but in game it's the worst idea ever.

It does sound great in theory, IF IW does implment this.. people are going to complain and say how crappy the gun is. Good for others, it's just not for them. Again, you can please everyone.

Tried playing on the 360 today.

1st game had 3 host changes. Team got beat by triple.

2nd game had 2 host changes.

3rd game had horrible lag and no host changes. Plus I got killed in respond killed by a chopper gunner 5 times in a row.

I quit after that.

The kill streaks are cool but now they are just getting in the way of the game. They should not be so frequent IMO. It promotes camping. It should of sent something like every 100 kills you get a harrier. Every 500 kills a ac130 etc etc.

Its just a example. People camp to get streaks which is obvious. Even on objective maps.

You don't have to "camp" to get high killstreaks. It's called tactics. I've gotten high killstreaks without having to "camp" (which by general gaming definition is sitting crouched/laying somewhere and waiting for people to come by.) You just a.) need to play with non-idiots (aka randoms), b.) be smart and don't die.

And if I'm hanging back it's by no means camping. It just means I'm not going to rush out in the open when I've got a killstreak open. If I don't need to die, I'm not going to die. Play smart, not stupid.

There is nothing wrong with the kill streaks nor is it "getting in the way of the game." My advice to you would be to press the back button more often to look at the scoreboard and try to kill those getting close to kill streaks and pay attention more often.

That said, you should definitely equip either the AT4-HS or Stinger as your secondary weapon to take down chopper gunners, helicopters, AC-130's and so forth. You can take down a chopper gunner in two shots, period with the Stinger (one for the flare, two for the take down). Now with the AT4-HS this will vary, sometimes can take it down in one shot depending where from. I wouldn't suggest the Javelin as it takes too long to lock on, need to be in clear area to shoot it off, probably will get shot before you shoot it and so forth.

Then also try to play with friends or make friends with those that are "good" and play with them. It is more fun and easier playing with someone you know or that is good then alone. I play in full party's all the time of 6-9 people.

Its just a example. People camp to get streaks which is obvious. Even on objective maps.

People don't need to camp to get killstreaks, myself and others I play with you will find do not camp 85% of the time. Those rare occasions will most likely not be considered camping and/or "turtling". Too many people over use the word "camping" today too and don't understand the difference between that and not.

That is horrible! Even on my terrible connection at home I never had anything that bad. Thankfully now I'm back on campus and get to have a full bar connection all the time now! :D

So..played with a hacker that went 111-1 in CTF today. Funny thing is, he got the 1 death from being surrounded by his own team-mates, all of which including the hacker got hit by a predator missile :laugh:

Got some great rounds in yesterday, got some pics. Now I have the disc in my drive and can't get it out. 2 red lights. Grr.

With the 41 kill streak, I got my killstreaks (Care Package, Harrier, AC130). Used the AC130, used the Harrier, used the Care Package, got another AC130. Hell of a round. On the second one, I was nearly at Tac Nuke. 4 kills in it. I should not play TDM because it won't give me enough time.

I still haven't witnessed a nuke, however I do usually play Team Deathmatch Express so there isn't enough time!

You should play Free For All its full of boosters and cheaters killing eachother to get nukes, highly annoying

I'm just about to prestidge for my third time and finally decided I should try this nuke business. I never messed with it before because I might only go on a 25+ once or twice a day. Regardless I put it on as my kill streak yesterday and got my 25th kill on Wasteland when the score (in Domination) was 199 to 131. Talk about a close call...

So, I decided to see what all the hype was about and got the PC version. I haven't played an FPS since GOLDENEYE 64! I really don't like shooting games, but I saw someone post a link here on Neowin to "Battlefield Heroes", a free MMO third person shooter, got hooked, and decided to go to something "better".

I played about 5 hours worth of campaign on the "regular" difficulty and I SUCK at it. It's so fast paced and chaotic, I don't like it. I appreciate the stealthy level(s) so far, but that's about it. It's like an actual war zone... I can honestly say that I prefer Battlefield Heroes over this...

That said, multiplayer is okay... I'm just not good at it yet. Question - How do I enter the vehicles? I see civilian cars, trucks, tanks, missile launchers, etc... But I can't use them? There's gotta be a way, 'cause every match those stupid harriers come and bomb everyone. And occasionally, helicopters.

How many tactical nukes have people had then? Anyone got that spinning emblem yet? I'm on 6 at the moment.

I have had around 48 of them. But unlike some people I know who should not go for them, I rarely ever go for them. I will only sometimes load those killstreaks. I do not keep an exact count like people do in their profiles nor will I ever do that. The people I constantly play with know how many my bro and I get and it really does not matter after that. Tactical Nukes are easy to get (without camping) especially against dumb players aka those who can not shoot down helicopters (use a Stinger or AT4-HS).

I am totally against the killstreaks after like 7 kills. Once the Harrier starts, the fun in the game drops to almost 0.

You really need to use an a Stinger or AT4-HS as your secondary, then shoot a few shots (you or anyone else, Stopping Power Pro with help) into the harrier/whichever afterwards unless it is obviously a AC-130.
