Noice.

I let my little brother play a few rounds, his first complaint - flashlights. His second - the sun.

Dice when they made the flashlight and sun:

People need to get over this whining about Premium. Its basically doubling the amount of maps and weapons, $50 is fine for that. So long as they keep supporting it for the duration. The queue jumping hasn't really seemed to change anything for me. I've never tried a server with more than 6 people queued though. Even then I was seventh in line...

The AUG/M320 Smoke is hilarious.
Used it for about 3 hours before work today, had 42 kills one round with it(out of my total 43 kills). Nabbed a headshot from around 150m with it at least once. Loads of people ***'ing.
It's definitely not as extreme of an advantage as the M26 was, hopefully some decent servers won't mind it too much.
(Also to whoever said it doesn't have drop - it does, but more like sniper drop or so)

the AUG A3 is so overpowered. hoping to get premium ASAP so i can get my hands on this goodness

dont worry guys.. dice will nerf all of these guns pretty soon in a stealthy patch





they did it in the past and will do it some more


never get attached to how a gun behaves


LOLL you make it sound like its a glitched setup yet you say its not that OP like the dart...


so wich is it?


OP or not OP?


LOL i guess it really is glitched.. gg dice gg

Hey guys I wanted some clearity on going Premium, basically the best part about it is early game play for close quarters later this month? I hear its 6/12? And you get a small discount on all the maps when they are eventually released? Im not sure its worth it yet since I dont go for servers with a bunch of people queued.

Congrats!! Im slowly getting there myself too, I sucked so bad in the beginning its taking forever to get past 1/1 even though some games Im even 2/1 lol.

Its overpowered for what its supposed to be, but usually nothing that couldnt be done with a bolt action, shotgun, semi auto sniper, etc. It will and should be nerfed, but its much funnier. I'd say the only area I would really consider it to truly detrimental would be maybe a 30-100m range where you can still hit people quite easy and get a 1 hit kill, whered you'd be trying to get running headshots with a normal weapon.
It does have the long reload though. If they were paying attention to their surroundings in the first place they would force you to switch to normal or kill you reloading.

its a glitched gun because it wasnt suposed to do this.. duh!!! stop trying to find reasons on why it might not be


it just is.. and yes its OP at the hand of an half decent player



the point of this is to shoot at long distance .. get a kill + smoke out an area all at once


150meters isnt too hard to hit without a scope even 300meters isnt that bad if you see the silouhete you can hit it.. now against snipers.. if you see their scope glint you can point and shoot.. would really love to try out the aug + smoke and see how far i can get a kill with it

You get all of the DLC for no charge after you buy Premium, not just at a discount.

If you could, quote the part where I said it's not bugged? I never said it wasn't, and I never it was suppose to operate in that way. If you had read my post, you would indeed notice I said the opposite.
At around 100-150 drop starts coming into play a little bit. Hitting the idiot stationary snipers isn't a problem with pretty much anything. They're asking to be shot. It's people running around and actually playing I'm concerned about.
You should be able to get kills with it at any distance you can see, or have a friend tell you how far to adjust if you can't see it. No one would stay still long enough for me to get more than 2 or 3 shots, you could probably find some people in Firestorm or which ever B2K map has the cranes and construction buildings. Usually loads of stationary snipers there. (Off of one of the Carriers would be pretty awesome)

What I'm saying is, yes its bugged, but nothing that's going to just empty a server, hold an entire team hostage, ruin a round, etc. They don't penetrate and if you miss and they know your location you're probably screwed. It's fun to use. Some servers ban it, some the admins didn't care and were playing around with it themselves. Just find one that doesn't mind.

I'd also say to try it normal with the AEK or something to get a feel for the difference. Can still manage close range(unglitched) kills pretty decently.
