And by the way, in case anyone asks, I'm a mean Archer in LOTR: Conquest. It wasn't uncommon for me to get 50+ kills in the Shire level, and dozens of headshots. Not to mention that I was pretty beast with the Mage as well

Oh, and I wrote the official VGC review for it too. Now enough bragging for me!

I could barely find anyone online for Lord of the Rings: Conquest, and that was only a short while after it came out. It was just about impossible to find anyone who played the game Ranked. Besides, would you keep your servers open just so a couple thousand people can get achievements? I wouldn't.

Be reasonable guys.

You are correct, but that only means that games should make all of their achievements get-able offline as well as online and this whole problem would be solved. When it is literally impossible to get them after a certain date, it kind of feels like the makers didn't sell you the whole package.

I see your point, however, it was impossible to get many of the online achievements in Lord of the Rings: Conquest anyways (since ranked was barren), and there are many online achievements that would take FOREVER to get anyways (100,000 kills in Gears 1, Veteran rank in Gears 2). The main thing is to just not stress about achievements that much (but that's a lot to ask sometimes, they can be addicting indeed).

I guess asking for achievable achievements is too much to ask for some devs.

This is why i like P2P compared to EA's shitty servers.

 

How long till they shut down BF43? Two or three weeks? 

 

Fuck EA!

 

(end rant)

 

PS-Not like i could play BF43 anyways. Also its not like the game has a SP or something else to do. What a waste of $16.25...

If me and everyone else could log on, then the issue is specific to you, your service, or area. Not with EA and its servers.

And of course you can't play BF, from what I saw of your gameplay anyway.

Well i hate to tell you that its not just me that cant even join a game in BF43, Also i still get black lines in it.  I can play any other game fine with no lag, MAG, Bad company 2, Resistance 2.  

 

And i hate to tell you that im probably high ranking than you in BF43, if you even have it.Its there shitty servers that wont let me play.

 

Oh yeah more proof that its EA shitty servers, check out L4D2 first month. It was a lag fest and it took EA a while to clean it up.

Rank means shit, since it only means you've invested more time into the game. And from the gameplay video you posted of BC2, I'll be really suprised if you can suddenly hit people at point blank range just by switching to 43.

1. Rank does mean shit, because Rank shows how good you are. Durr I can play for four days straight and be low rank, Or i can play for a day and be high rank. It shows how effective you are.

2. That video of BF: BAD company 2, i was playing with ONE hand.

 

Me  - 68907

You -25098

 

That means im twice as good as you are. So if i cant hit anything at point blank than i would hate to see you. 

Like I said, rank shows how many total points you have (which is correlated with how long you play). It isn't a good measurement of "how good you are".

While K/D ratio isn't a good representation of a good player, it certainly is better than rank:

 

Me:
Kills1062Deaths456
You:
Kills2476Deaths2012

How can they close LOTR Conquest? It's only one year old!

You:

Except the hole concept of BF43 isnt to kill the enemy players its to capture flags. 

 

So again im better than you.

 

If you look at score per minute

Me-16

You- 9

 

Once again im better.

He deleted it I believe. He claims to have apparently played with one hand (which I don't see how, consider he was moving and shooting and there were people around him). It was absolutely horrible, he fucking even missed a guy a few feet away from him.

What are you struggling with?

Make sure you:

Take off auto aim

Change everything to BC1 controls (except for chopper, which I changed to Lefty)

Inverse Chopper vertical

Adjust sensitivity as needed

 

Stay behind cover at all times. When you run, you run towards the next cover. No strafing unless at very very close range, and at that point you should be going for a very quick headshot anyway.

Remember, you can tracer the snipers as well, so use those if you're an engineer.

I was playing with one hand and recording with the other hand.

Im horrible at the game but still better than him. (LOL)
