I would not mind. I even know of a private server that may be empty from time to time.

I haven't played in a few weeks since I've been distracted by various things.
Private servers can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. If you don't mind 1000+ ticket servers then you'll probably be quite happy. I personally don't like them myself since I'd like some variety in the time I can play. On the other hand there are people who make the servers unranked and practice in them - that's what my old clan does with the server they're renting and they also plan on trying to get some clan battles too. So depending on what you're looking for you may have to search around, but they're good and bad as I see it.
When I'm playing I actually pick an official server now since I don't want to get put into a private one when the matchmaker does its thing. I'm not sure if I'm going to use it much now.

lol, got a long range (probably 100m) kill on a Transport Heli with an unguided tank shell . I was speechless for about a minute Also, had an awesome round on a 5-Flag Wake Island. I started off being the gunner of an Attack Heli (and got a crap load of kills) and finished it by being the gunner of a Transport Heli (and got a crap load of kills as well )

Well me offically sucks at flying jets. Flew for close to 30mins chasing a guy around and niether of us were killed. Sent the guy a messge "Next time l'll kill you *loads nerf rounds into jet*" He sent one back "Lets join forces and pwn the skies" Me - "How will we pwn since we couldn't kill a fly with a nuke?" Him - "2 of us should at least be able to take one jet out if we team up" *Game loads* Me - "Crap on different sides buddy" Him - "To the skies" *kill each other in a bad game of chicken* Me - "Get to the chopper" *chopper fight and both get taken down by jets* Him - "I think we should stick to tanks" *sends friend request* *game ends and he leaves for dinner* Him - "Till next time we meet on the battlefield, May your guns fire blanks"

Round 2 with me new friend and we were on same side for once. Found out we are good cat and mouse players. He was in a jeep getting choppers to chase him while me on other side of trees or hill in tank ready for a surprise attack. This tactic worked well till the rush games lol. Got a 401m headshot with a .44 magnum from the ship to a poor guy placing mines on the shore.
Finally got a kill in a jet even though it was a guy on the ground paying no attention to the crashing jet hurdling at break neck speeds with a flamey trail in tow.
Kinda think it would of been like this vid

I'm in love with the F-35. It's definitely my favourite vehicle at the moment. I've been practising with it in hover mode and I'm getting lots of kills (including some on infantry while hovering - the main cannon kills 'em with two bullets ). I was in one game where so many people were pissed off by me. When I was flying and getting tailed by a jet, I just switched to hover mode and they fly right past me

installed the patch, reinstalled karkand. played for a couple hours on it and imho i think it was a step sideways, instead of a step forward for the game.
i do not like the private servers at all. giving admin powers to the average US fps kid is a recipe for disaster. i got banned because i wasn't using my mic..........
i like the weapon dynamics now, but it feels like i am more stressed out when i play. also getting sniped by m26 mass darts on 90% of my games is getting old.
what are everyone elses thoughts?

I don't like the fact that I can't find official servers anymore. Some of the unofficial ones are alright, but I really don't like ending up in TDMs with 500 tickets. I really don't like it when servers are impersonating official ones too. I saw a -[DICE]- one that had nothing to do with DICE yesterday.
Guns... idk. I played yesterday for the first time in a month. I felt like I was relearning things.

I also played recently for the first time in a while. I'm glad I'm no longer feeling the need to throw my controller at my TV thanks to the USAS, and thankfully I haven't encountered players abusing the M26 Dart too much. A little sad that my favorite weapon (F2000) seems to have gotten nerfed but I'm working towards unlocking more engineer and support weapons to find an adequate replacement.
Speaking of which, does anyone on this thread still play Co-op? Today was the first day I could fine an adequate helicopter pilot for Fire from the Sky. Before, whenever I ended up as the gunner, the pilot would crash within 5 minutes >.< But anyway, I finally beat that mission today. Anyone wanna play some more coop?

I'm usually up for co-op, and I'm a decent helicopter pilot. I'm always looking for opportunities to practice.

My favourite has to be the Sniping mission. I really love the games where you need full co-operation for stuff like that (e.g. sniping at the exact same time). In fact, I love all sniping/stealth missions. It started with All Ghillied Up in COD4

I hate it when they throw "push this button now" unexpectedly at us. Absolutely the worst part of the co-op missions.

Double-post since I've been playing during the last few days.
I see an advantage of the custom servers with more tickets. If you're like me and don't get enough kills sometimes to get the ribbons you're looking for, the more tickets on the server, the more opportunities you have to get the kills for the ribbons. I've been levelling up a lot faster lately despite needing more points to level up because matches are long enough (for me, anyway) to earn more ribbons and thus more points.
I've also started using some different guns which appear to be suiting me better so I'm doing a bit better now.

I've become addicted to burst fire now. Especially guns with a 2-burst instead of three (like the AN-94 or G36 ). Does anyone prefer the Russian Holo to the US one? I find the reticule itself more clear. [/b]

No, not really. I think the cobra sight is kinda annoying, the american one is much more comfortable.

I have no idea what I slap onto the top of my gun. So long as it appears to be working I just use it.
Had a fairly good day today. Only three ribbons left: the stationary emplacement and the two MCOM defend and attack ribbons.

Me MAV stalked players for a few games and it ended up being fun. 1 game me stalked a guy looking for me, the whole time he was looking around me was going "Cold, colder....warmer.." Watching him get closer with me MAV me saw what was coming and started the dive bomb. He saw me laying on the ground then went into the stabby mode and walked up behind me. Unbeknown to him me MAV was in the middle of swooping in to kill him. Thought he got me when me saw him turn me over in the melee kill action but the MAV took him out before it rego'ed a hit on me. Wish there was a kill cam as me would of loved to see it over and over again.
Also me got a 601m no scope kill on a unlucky guy with the L9.. (forgot the rifles name)
Ok a few issues me has noticed in the games since the patch etc. 1. Javilins are way to over powered since its basically a 1 hit kill on anything now. 2. Game Balancing is out of whack. It puts all new people on 1 team while other team has all high ranked players. 3. Some Rush games have dumbass spawn points eg Grand Bazzar (spelling?) spawning attackers in an open area where defenders can easily take them out.
Wish they they had offical servers that are just conquest as me hates going on normal server and only getting Caspian border and karg island as only CQ maps.
