Who here used Air Radar.
I need some opinions of it.
I've yet to use it for some reason.  I'm interested too because I'd rather have Stealth and have enemies have a harder time locking on in combination with my flying skills.

I suck richard at jets.
Every time I use one, I hit a helicopter a bunch of times, but then I either overheat, overshoot the helicopter, or crash into the helicopter itself.
Any tips to getting a single point with jets?
Jets don't overheat.  You may have caught an engine fire from taking damage which will kill you at some point if don't get out, but no overheating.  I've flown in a single jet in one life for 20 minutes maybe.

You need to go for easy targets though.  Shooting other jets with the basic machine gun is very difficult unless they're newbies.  Helicopters, or just fly around as a squad leader and give orders like ArmyGuy said, you'll gain points then.

You'll unlock flares, then heat seeking missiles.  Once there, you're good for air-to-air combat pretty much.  ONLY use flares once you hear a solid beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep noise, that means you have been locked on and a missile has been fired.  I've shot down so many idiots with lock-on missiles because they're idiots and preemptively launch flares when I haven't even got a successful lock yet, then once I do get a lock...  (click click), (PSHEWWW PSHEWWW)... VEHICLE DISABLED +200  ENEMY KILLED +100.

Learn to fly a jet.  There is a turbo in jets just like for tanks.  Learn to manipulate with your mouse, and learn physics is all I can say.  Pressing decelerate/reverse while flying will make you go slow, which makes for easy targeting.  Don't use it too much or you may get targeted, but if you do, use a combination of speed (accelerating, using turbo, or both) and maneuvers to lose your enemy.  I have dodged missiles without even having to launch flares (because I had launched them already unfortunately) just by doing extreme maneuvers.

Jets don't overheat.
Jet miniguns do.

Also, if you want to avoid missiles, just do zero-g-rolls while first using afterburner for the girst 90 degrees, then brakes for the last 90 degrees. Then do a simple half aileron roll.

Can someone give tips for a newbie on the 360? I always get more deaths than kills and I can't use the sniper rifle for stuff because of the scope sway, and the amount of recons in this game is god awful compared to bad company 2 and theres a stuffload more hiding spots for them. No matter what, i'm always on the bottom of the scoreboard. I try to play the objective but there's never any cover for me except for a few rocks so I get shot every time.

don't use it then go with assault or engi (depending on the map) i've never had problems with recons so idk what's going on with you

How to use recon: With a shotgun

There were so many recons and so little cover so I decided to use the ounce of cover I had to get back at them so my team can progress forward.

I'm never close enough. I try to shoot people using the shotgun and I just get hit markers. Then, I get shot at by many recons that I cannot even see. The killcam isn't helping, they know the exact time of the killcam and then after that time is up, they move to a new spot. The glare is impossible to see.

I got a 1,003m headshot followed by another 995m and 978m.

Awww yeah.


Oh my god I looooveee the AS VAL

Lol it is useless in this game.

Well only because someone sucks with a gun doesn't mean it's useless.
In such cases this someone is useless with the gun.

this sounds like a specific map you're having problems on, because there are a few maps where snipers are useless or hard to use

Goddamnit
For some reason it seems like most LMGs are useless for me unless the enemy stands 3 feet away.
Pfffft

Fell in love with the F2000 and sniper rifles in general.
Now I just need to buy the game... D:
I have 330 bucks. Torn between buying for Xbox (so I can play with majority of friends) and buying for PC (so I can play at mom's house, also master gamer race)
