I've been playing it for the last few weeks now... mostly why I haven't been on here as much... Just wanted to see if any of you boys (and gals) played...
With the help of a person I met while playing, we developed a tactic that... if folks listened and actually did it is nearly fool proof.
I encourage you kiddies to try it if you play.
Basic idea is... Put your squad leader in a transport helicopter. Have him fly and hover at around 500-600ft (400ft is a minimum). Which in the game is stupidly high, and you can't see the ground at that altitude. Plus side is, you can still see your capture points and the enemy can't see you when looking up. You need to use the map/hud to navigate since there are no visual reference points at that altitude.
Then, have your squad members spawn into the chopper and jump out and "Halo" jump into the base you're trying to take. If you time it right, you can open your chute just before the ground so you don't float in and get shot at.
If you die, you just respawn back in the chopper and repeat. If you do it right, it's a great tactic. Especially if you've got a full 6-man squad, so you always have 5 combat soldiers and 1 pilot.
Only problem is, the squad leader must maintain altitude, and try to evade any Fighters/Attack helicopters that might get wise to his location. But, most players never fly that high. Especially in helicopters because it takes so long.
... Just a random thought. Plus I'd like the idea to spread around so I don't have to try and explain it in game. It's too hard to try to type and fly...
Look for me out there... > BrotherBriggs
I'll be the one 500ft up.
