Now that I've got rocket pods on my jet I'm getting points consistently. People need to spot more though. By spotting tanks and jeeps it puts them in my HUD and I can strafe them.

I managed to get some more points with the jet. It just involved disabling a chopper by crashing into it. Later on, a round of conquest in Operation Firestorm provided a good opportunity for building up the Recon class. I managed to get a fair amount of sniping in before I got shanked.

The jet is still just a sight seeing tool for me. :/

I might be best at crashing it? (grasping) :P

Hey, I invited SA_Nick and he joined our platoon!

We are so international now.

Also in related news: One more MVP ribbon for that dang medal!

[Lawdog1521]

I finally got my avenger medal. Still working on my PDW and medic ones. The PDW-R gets on it, once you get the extended mag. Next to the VAL it's a pretty decent gun.

[Doc_SoCal]

Does the Val count as a PDW?

[Lawdog1521]

Does the Val count as a PDW?

Yep. It's a good one too. Very accurate, a high rate of fire, and a built in suppressor. It runs out of ammo fast though. So you better have a good pistola ready.

Had a fairly good lot of games today, and got a lot of rewards in one session
I managed to get the assault rifle medal, assault class service star and the 8th FAMAS service star among other things

Plus I finally reached 1.0 (exactly) Kill/Death ratio. Playing as Recon for the first 45+ hours of my playtime was fun, but I rarely got a positive K/D ratio. Switching over to assault helped me play a lot better, so now I quite often end up with a good K/D ratio in matches

Now I just need to get my Win/Loss ratio to above 1

[Lawdog1521]

I still don't know how you guys get good K/D ratios. Maybe it's my play style. I'm a madman and get killed a lot... but I'm usually one of the top scorers too.

Oh... and now that I got my PDW medal I switched to trying for the shotgun one. The USAS-12 is just crazy. I had 29 kills on Sierras Crossing last night.

I found it incredibly hard to get a good K/D ratio playing Rush and Conquest. I spent half the game being spawn killed and the other half being killed by vehicles

Playing Sqd DM, my friend and I usually play as a pair of Assaults both using defribs, so if one of us gets killed, the other revives so the death doesnt get recorded
Plus being spawn killed is a rare occurence and theres only 1 APC which is easy enough to avoid

On top of that, Ive got many, many years of experience of playing small skirmish game modes on FPS games (we were practically unbeatable on CoD4s team tac mode =p)
