It takes 2 minutes to be a dick before he turns around and notices you so you can drill him in the face.

I killed a teammate with it yesterday when we were repairing a tank.
I have read the best way to do it is to take the UAV and suicide ram it into a guy. Haven't tried it yet though.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. I've roadkilled people in the heli, but that was when my team were being buttholes so I got in and nose dived into a building right away.

To point out that a persons skill as a player goes above and beyond merely their score.

So I finally got this last weekend, and was wondering if I just got really lucky, or if everyone else popped to guys with a single sniper shot in the first sniper level of the single player game? It was the last shot of the sequence, and the two guys crossed paths right when I shot, and I took out both with the single shot. I felt badass, but wondered if it happens to everyone?

Either way, seeing two guys go down from a single shot was awesome!

Thats a feat for sure, I've done it a handful of times since the players usually spawn behind the guy you're aiming for.

On another note I managed to get the road kill with an air vehicle. I landed a blackhawk on two guys shooting at me. They didnt even move until it was 20 feet above them.

I am now a monster with the M60 and red-dot scope.

Played hardcore last night and really enjoyed it for the first time.

I've been playing on your sdawg clan server quite a bit. Its probably the best server ive seen for lag and decent talent.

I bit on the $20 battlefield awhile back, working on unlocking everything. Working slowly toward getting a positive K/D ratio playing only on hardcore servers. Has anybody had any success getting their vetran status working?

I can't get the stupid badcompany2 website to recognize that I own BF2. http://veteran.battlefield.com/ hasn't worked for ages either.

Mine never worked either. The M1 isnt a huge loss, I doubt I'd use it much.

Yeah, some maps are getting really tiresome.

Maybe it's just my complete and utter hatred for ass-lickers that can only shoot 40mm grenades.

The M1 seems more accurate than the m14, even though http://denkirson.xanga.com/722757523/bad-company-2/ indicates that the only difference between the 2 is 2 extra rounds in the box magazine of the m14.

In general the m1 is only for show, and isn't being tracked.

And this http://elxx.net/bfbc2/statscharts/weapons-1.png which I grabbed from http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/472642.page

really illustrated the reputations of the m60 and n00b tube.

Getting to 5 kills with the m93r was really difficult as I wound up passing up knife kills for pistol kills as it was only useful when you had the drop on a person, but I do have the pistol man achievement.

Just mock them openly. If thats all they use I call them out on it. Usually if you keep moving they'll miss.

I'm getting tired of the maps too.

I love killing people with 40mm's because I know how much I hate it when I get killed by one.

I never use them close range though, I like sniping people out with them,

A funny story... or at least funny to me.

After reading this thread and buying the game I started to look for guys from here that might be playing on the same servers. Upon the many times I have been killed one way or the other I would scan the little caption that comes up and tells you who killed you and how... well I kept reading the XM8 prototype thinking that "Prototype" was the one that was getting me. It was starting to tick me off and he would be following me from server to server. Little bit of a facepalm moment when I realized I wasn't reading the whole caption.

If I'm playing rush and a bunch of the opponents' squads keep respawning right on a M-Com, I'll swap over to a 40mm and take the free kills. I have no qualms with using 2 40mm and my 1 grenade to get a bunch of kills.

Targeting one player with the 40mm is silly, clearing out 4 at once with one is awesome!

Anyone want to buy a copy for $50? It's a limited edition copy and I haven't had time to play it. I installed it but haven't turned on the PS3 since then. PM me.
