> [@Sitnam](#): > > 'cause Conquest offers the chance to camp. But yeah, it’s stupid. The people I am talking about aren’t camping. I have no problem with campers, I usually kill them. I’m talking about people who run around shooting without any rhyme or reason and NEVER capture any objectives, and ALWAYS LOSE because of it. If they want to run around and shoot people without having to use their brain, they should GTFO of conquest. Grrrr! :mad: ---

Damn, the SCAR has been my go to gun since day one and I’ve unlocked pretty much all the attachments for it. :mad: ---

Ah, lame. Whenever you get disconnected or crash or the server crashes, you lose your stats for that round - any unlocks, medals, whatever. But last night we were goofing around on the SDMB server doing stunts that got us killed a lot. So we had like 4 kills 40 deaths. I don’t care that much about my stats but I figured those shouldn’t count against me so I tried to kill the game process manually hoping that it wouldn’t save, but it did. So… lame on that account. I’ve lost tons of good stats, and the goofy bad stats I don’t deserve stuck. In the future, if we’re doing goofy stunts and stuff, we can turn the server to unranked so nothing is recorded. ---

Yeah Unranked would be the way to go for messing around. Also, new patch is up.

Does anyone know where to get patch notes from previous patches? This is the first documentation I’ve seen, but I think there have been several patches. ---

At some point I just hope to upgrade a fucking weapon. My 17 - 112 ratio is pretty flimsy as well… ---

If you’re talking about getting killed after you spawn on a squadmate that’s in the middle of a firefight, that’s not being spawn camped. What would you expect, that the enemy would wait until you find cover to start shooting you? ---

I was in a game of – hmm, not Caspian but that other big, open one with concrete buildings – and it seems they didn’t actually fix the spawning. There was someone spawn camping at a captured point. ---

Not a problem at all. There seems to be a core group of us who are addicts, but about twice that number hop in and out as time allows. All are always welcome, it’s a good time. We need to do more ‘messing about’ maps. Set the server to funky settings and try ramming each other with C4’d jets and such. ---

Well that was much better. I unlocked all sorts of thing. Red dot for the M14 and the also got the laser for the Scar, not bad since I just unlocked that tonight as well. ---

I am wondering…if I get ‘X’ kills as an engineer and unlock something for my rifle, I still have to get ‘X’ kills as support to unlock the same thing for the same rifle?
