Shame you don't have BF3 on PC, I would take you up in a chopper and you could have fun blasting all the suckas down on the ground (at least for 30 seconds or so before we both come crashing down into the ground). It's usually the trees that do me in most of all.

On one map you have to capture a petrol station (can't remember the name?) and it was being patrolled continually by a tank. After trying to take it about fifteen times, I decided to grab a chopper and jump out of it onto the roof of the petrol station (no parachute). I then successfully captured while the tank driver was way laid trying to destroy the chopper spinning about on the floor!

The tank soon re captured and then smashed my back doors in, but my actions hadn't gone un noticed by a couple of guys who had been trying to take the base unsuccessfully. We were soon all carrying anti tank weaponry and doing the same again. Three men jumping out of choppers onto the roof meant we soon took the petrol station and then held it! Then every time mr tank came back we were ready for him.

We still lost the game mind, but our little squad felt like it had single handedly liberated the Port Stanley Tesco supermarket. Grins all round that night!

I take rides or spawn when others are flying but even firing the guns and hitting the targets is not easy

Yeah i like that map but there are so many i can not remember the names of any of them,the only thing i dislike is the way the guns handle and the fact its really quite hard to kill someone sometimes.

Dont know if its better as you rank up or what ,better optics,grip ect .

Battlefield games are ripe with epic moments like these. I totally know where you are coming from, it's an amazing feeling isn't it? I like your description: I think you must've been playing Caspian Borders map just going by memory. The choppers make good taxis don't they?

Your story makes me wanna get back in. I really gotta sort myself out. Desk desk desk desk desk. Drat.

Once you have proper sights on your gun, it will definitely feel better for you. Getting telescopic optics to zoom in and having the IR scope will really make a difference. I haven't played the game in ages so I'm only going by a hazy memory. Maybe Commander Swan or Captain nelster or even Field Marshall Ilh can advise? Or even that Gzero fella, he's gone AWOL again though.

Tip for the helis gun position is to shoot in front of your target. It's hard to hold the cannon steady but if you target in front you can adjust your aim more easily and just shoot up a little if needed. Also, give 'em plenty!

Day 1 EvE multiple account player here also. Just hope that it's worth the cost of buying a playstation. Really [censored] me off when they gave 4k beta access back in December over some EvE players. Anyway finally given in and downloading the beta now, 59%....

A concept like this deserves to win but it all dipends on ccps execution of the ideas that were offered to them by the playerbase but as you say it's beta so a work in progress. Just hope they at least consider player suggestions on improvments unlike some of the betas i've been in latley where the devs just blindly ignored the beta community (mostly)

Hope keyboard/mouse support isnt too far off as i havent used a sony keypad since playstation 1 days. Can't see me liking these analog twidly thumb things much.

I paid the £12 or whatever it cost to play the beta and ended up ditching the game 20 minutes later,boring,tedious and graphics that by todays standards equal Playstation 2 at best.

I got sent a beta key, just debaiting to download it to the PS3 or not, from what ive seen the game doesnt look to bad though its hard to say with a console FPS, would have been better on the PC.

new patch out i just read. http://www.psu.com/a016516/Dust-514-beta-Precursor-p...

keyboard/mouse support for ps3 added as well as many other things.
