haha well played... but seriously the fun in setting off a huuuugggeee explosion and then watching people from all around to see what happened is brilliant, watch them all bump into each other and start mass PvP while i sit in the shadows and watch

Sounds like you have been playing dirty... try a re-install if that doesn't work then meh... you broke it.

Personally if i find a box i take a couple satchel charges and have myself a nice little fireworks display... then wait for people to come snooping!

Yeah agreed. they need that "28 Days Later" approach about them, actual infected that make you think twice before you go sprinting into Elktro!

Haha no worries, but i agree with you. They are a plague but recently i have seemed to have had alot less bother with them.

Yes my mistake, not hackers but Script Kiddies

Really?? i've bumped into a few hackers over the last couple of months but never seen Attack choppers, Tanks or RPG wars... infact the most farfetched thing i ever saw hacked in was a volkswagon polo...

Sometimes if you look a bit you find threads like that.... (look down this one for instance for one started by me ;))

Yeah, it's now a Sandbox PvP like 80% of the time now. Pretty fun still though

Met a random guy on a US server at the NW airfield as me and ma squad were filming a sweep of the are, whilst camped on overwatch at the west im suddenly teleported to a random are where i see two boxes and a guy in the soldier outfit, i just think "aww shit just my luck", He opens direct comms and says "im the great and powerful so and so, in one of these boxes i bring you end game, choose carefully now, muwahahaha" I kinda thought i might go ahead and play his game but then no, i decided to just really dissapoint him. I open my comms and said "Well mate actually thanks for the offer but no thanks, you see im pretty well geared and im with my squad at the NW airfield filming a raid when you TP'd me here... soo sorry to be a bummer but fancy taking me back??" So i sat in silence for a second thinking "he's just gonna shoot me" then he spoke again, "Oh really, errr, you sure i mean none of the boxes are actually trapped. they are both full?? i mean take anything you need" to witch i replied "Look mate it's really nice of you but im cool, i just kinda wanna get back, stuffs going down and i need to guide them" "Oh... ok then" (his voice sounded so depressed!) "ill take you back, last chance...." trying to get me to have a look in the box, "No mate just wanna head back" Next thing i know im back next to ma mate where i was... and he was gone, i think i kinda upset the dude, lol awell!

This is true, but most other players don't play the way i would "play" so to speak, yes moving whilst scanning using ALT is very handy, but i tend to find you miss alot of finer detail compared to when you stop for a few seconds and scan the area. Speed isn't always the key to surviving, noticing the finer details can save your skin just as well.

It's simple... Kill the Batman

Why thank you :)

Without sniping him yourself it's basically a trick of as you said "smoking them out the nest" best way is by distracting him. From the sounds of things you know you're target and have a clear view of getting to him, so basically use as much cover as possible and stray inbetween buildings never keeping to a direct route, (the idea is to lose the snipers visual and confuse him.) When within about 50m of getting to you're target building assess what direction you need to gain access to the roof to get your target, have a smoke grenade or say even a grenade at hand and if say the ladders face north then throw your grenade South... anything to lure his eyes away from where you wanna come in. When approaching his nest stay crouched and if possible proned to keep the noise to a minimum (remember he is listening for you aswell), when you reach your target you have the upper hand, scoped weapons are pretty useless at close range, so dispatch him by whatever means, but remember to play the decoy and stay in the cover. If you have an enfield or an AK move to underneath his nest, scopes have a notorious lip at the bottom rendering the sniper blind to fire from beneath, you can be up to about 40m infront of your target and be outta site of his scope (if he is say looking to the hills) so just line up and drop him :)

Well saying you are on your own then it's quite a slow and tedious process, i like heading towards the sun as shadows show more and you can see sillouhettes at a distance. when moving to a viewing spot use a wide tree obviously and peer from cover to observe your target are, make sure you scan a large view (240 degrees is what i span) and take a slow careful scan just to make sure you pick out any details that catch your attention. Look for odd shapes also, if they move you are probably onto a target. When moving try and head to cover at most 15ft from your current cover and is sufficiant enough for you to have the view angle of before and when moving stay low amongst the brush cover. Repeat this process over and over but also remember to have a peek behind you from time to time to make sure no one is sneaking behind you. As i group i recommend spreading about 15-20ft in a line, Assault Riflemen on each end of the collumn as they can surpress targets from either angle providing a tighter target area. Shotguns and single shot rifles or small tier firearms should then shape almost like a small diamond head inward until you hit the centre man who should have a sniper angle, as he is the furthers from you're target he is least likely to be hit first and can have time to deal a lethal blow, May i also recommend 2 of the lower tier men in a group carry the medical supplies as they sit behind the main fire force of the assault rifles. Anything else you need covered?

ooohhh option 2 sounds fun!

Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head... also got kitty playing in there too! :\

Nope i stick by my statement, the British Army is the best army in the world.

Well the guy with the "gay pony avatar" was trained by the best army in the world, so maybe they just might! :)

Well yeah that too... i mean i just wanna help out as much as i can :) Share the experience!

Answer me this question first. (they are getting harder). Who does the voice for Colgate??

aaaaannnd?? Happens all the time. -_-

Meh hatcheting becomes a little too "personal at times" I prefer just to take a shot from a bit of a range and move on

The "You are Dead" screen is the only "Endgame" i see left now... but i see how your tactics are fee sable, Only problem you will have now is groups. groups tend to love solo survivors of all levels.

Unlucky but you were outplayed tactically, you had the patience to hold out i'll give you that, personally i would have been in one of the rooms crouched but leaning out into the hall covering the doorway so if he did burst in like he did to you i would have the advantage of not being in his direct line. A good experience though for you no doubt, it is truly the best part of this game
