"we could have ruled the thread together..."

Exactly what I'm saying... Working on DLC is great. But you can't just ignore the game that is out right now... It would be nice if AA guns had some semblance of range, instead of hoping enemies come within 10 feet of you >.>

Karkand is out now for PS3, will be out next Tuesday (13th) for Xbox and PC. I tried using the Rex, but with the connection issues with this game, every time I could get a second shot off, they'd always kill me. I really hope they fix sniping.

Beat the WoF. Man it got a lot more difficult lol. Managed to kill a wyvern after three tries, but didn't get any spirits of flight -.- but yea. Cobalt, mythril, and adamantite is pretty cool :D

One week till Back to Karkand (for xbox and PC, PS3 has it now). The new maps just don't seem like they'll be much fun on the console with only 24 players per match. Many times I've seen helicopters and tanks just sit in the spawn the entire round in conquest. I really wish they could increase the player cap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-BX_DATeik&feature=player_detailpage Hopefully once it's out, they start fixing the bugs and balance issues.

I've been having them. But despite the issues, I still love the game. It just makes me wish the game would work. I deleted my 12MB save file and started over after the patch. Nearing the old 6MB mark again, lag isn't as bad, but it's creeping in regardless of the patch. I just hope they fix it before I get to that unplayable point again. Also, they need to stop breaking the LAA for the PC version with every patch. (not sure if 1.2 broke it, but there was a small one prior that did) I lol'd at the article. They are aware that Skyrim isn't the only Bethesda games with game breaking bugs in it, right? Hell to this day they still never patched some of them. IGN just annoys me. Just seem very biased. But speaking of old game breaking glitches, I had one in Oblivion that prevented me from saying "no" to Clavicus Vile in regards to the Umbra sword. If I tried saying I was going to keep it, my game froze. Always joked how it was Clavicus' way of getting back at me :grin:

The elder scrolls wikia tells where they all are. A ton of them are in caves.

I didn't like doing the Clavicus Vile quest. Having to follow Barbas was a huge pain, since he got so side-tracked by enemies and whatnot. Lead me through Helgen, which meant going through the rubble... and he got stuck a bunch of times. Other than that, most of the quests were pretty fun.

Do you have reactive armor on or what? Every mine I run over blows me up <_< AA guns are so fun to use :D also, I don't really think mortars should automatically show up on the radar. They should have to be spotted, just like everything else.

I think you may be better off just using the chaingun to take out tanks, since it seems to work the best. Missiles would be useful for fast moving jeeps, and maybe LAVs.

There are 20 total shouts, with three words each (some of them you get all three at once), but yea. Rooster Teeth on Youtube has done a guide on where to find every word/shout.

Oh man I miss "whose line is it anyway?" it was so hilarious.

My goodness. They really reward you for service stars, eh? I'm nearing up on my second service star for the jets, but recently I've been more focused with the Tanks. Sorry I didn't clarify. You need 100,000 points to get the second service star. They probably give 10,000 points like the first one. But yea. Unlocked the AEK and A-91. Both are pretty beastly, I must say. Used the AEK on a conquest game in Op. Metro, and did really well with it. (Why the hate on Op. Metro? I think it's probably my favorite map if the game is really close.)

100,000 points for MBT service star 2 O.O

I miss BC2's style of sniping. Just seemed... better. Where, in hardcore, if you got hit by a bolt action rifle, YOU DIED. Granted, sometimes there were BS deaths, but still. And there was no stupid lens glare. (New attachment for all snipers! Dirty scope! No lens glare but a bit harder to see through!) Some of the maps are pretty bad, I will admit. (Damavand peak on conquest <_< ) Another thing: If a jet is hit by a tank shell, it should explode. On the spot. No stupid vehicle disabled. No time to bail out. Instant explosion. Last complaint: Dice needs to fix their menus. Ever since the game came out, I've had trouble loading images of dog tags, medals, ribbons, etc. Also in the customization screen. Get one new attachment for the M16A3, every weapon in the assault class suddenly has that orange triangle, and so do the classes. Really annoying.

While that does happen sometimes, more often than not it won't. It's just so annoying to fire once so they use their flares, then have to reload, lock on, fire and wait for the missile to travel, by which time they have their flares again, and are no doubt spamming the RB (xbox) to release them again. Granted, it's easy to shoot them down if you have friends playing with you (both using AA launchers), but nearly impossible when playing with randoms.

I have come to the conclusion that either: a. If helicopters and jets get unlimited flares, engineers should get unlimited AA missiles. B. Flares either need a limit/increased re-arming time, or reloading the AA lunchers should have a decreased time.

Honestly, you can't really "grind" smithing (if that is what you are talking about), since it's probably the fastest skill to level if you have a decent amount of cash. Unless they fixed it, smithing an iron dagger gets the same xp as making daedric plate armor, and takes a lot less resources. The other skills, well yea. Most are a grind ([bleep]ing alchemy!), while others are only trained by actually using the skill (weapon skills really).

WOOHOO! Although it is a bit laggy/buggy, so for it looks promising :thumbsup: The new, harder bosses look amazing, and the Wall of Flesh boss looks badass, and has a pretty funny way of summoning it as well (using the guide voodoo doll). Rocket boots and an Obsidian skull will be a must for fighting it.

If you grind smithing, then they really shouldn't be a problem... The armor can be upgraded so much that they don't do much damage, and upgraded weapons will make leveling up the weapon skills quickly. Smithing would make killing draugrs easier I would think :???:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAabVQ_XkJ4&feature=player_embedded Better use of falling towers. And other assorted shenanigans.

We get babes in bikinis for Christmas. Yeah, there's a little state thing known as California the internet... Fix'd.

I still have that amulet from "Blood on the Ice" since I didn't sell it to that guy. Other than that, I really haven't run into any real glitches with quests or anything, except for one hiccup with a thieves guild job. But yea, nothing else surprisingly. And I don't think fragments do anything.

When I bought that house, I was sort of freaking out tbh. As soon as I walked in, I was like "Holy crap, isn't this the house that had those murders?!?! IT'S HAUNTED!"

100 all skills? Unless there is a super secret boss waiting when you do that, there isn't much point. Way too much of a grind, and no real use.
