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

a Machete, this game needs a Machete, and hacking limbs off to be implemented, Realism and all....

Im one for the bayonet. Stabbity stab :)

Had my server for 2 months now and all i have and all the feedback i get about my server is negative..... Constant crashes, somehow our UK server ended up being based in France, they automatically change the ping to suit whatever they want.... not OUR needs. They refuse to update to the latest patch at the moment despite us already having the server and client versions. and the latest issue that broke my will about 10 mins ago.... paid the month due yesterday, payment went through and boom, server shut down AGAIN tonight, no excuses, no time limit just boom no you don't , £35 a month for something that doesn't work so i won't recommend them to anyone.... However does anyone have any decent providers cos im really wanting to switch ;) PS: they have the most useless customer service ever, last time i wanted the ping raised it took them 4 days to get it done then they re-set it 8 hours later.....

i can only imagine so!!

More just not working rather than jittery myself.... yep im already preparing for the live broadcast, popcorn and snacks at the ready!! wonder if it will be a 1 or 2 part opener.. hmmmm

yeah, go hold a city down for a day, see how long it takes you to get overwhelmed.... quite a bit of fun!

Take all your stuff, go on a rampage, it's what you collected it for riiiiiggghhhhtt??

LA85, just because it's one weapon i do have experience with, and works rather well in game :)

A: The Bleach Avatar is cool :) B: Yup thats luck of the draw, sometimes you can go all night not bumping into one, then all of a sudden 3 on the trot where you are constantly being teleported here an there, think i've wound up a good few hackers recently, just through disappointment of not playing their games. You're friend hasn't been looking at some youtube links and maybe downloading something via the link they find there? if so it's probably how he lost his key...
