Does this look familiar?

Post by [JiF]Uncle Stinky »

There have been quite a few stories lately about how local police forces in the US are starting to use drones. Guess which one the one in Miami is using? Look below.

No way! The MAV has quickly become my favorite gadget to use in game. Specifically on maps like Tehran Highway and Noshahr (sp?) Canals. It's a lot of fun to spot enemies for your guys and watch them flank and move in and totally decimate the other side - who usually has no idea how they're able to be found and killed so easily.

Plus, you get points for each spot assist, and ribbons for every 5. I use it as a nice way to wind down after a long gaming session.

I love using the Mav in Tehran Highway - it's like watching a war movie from above.

I'm not sure I like the thought of local police using them to watch us though. :|

I was playing firestorm a few days back and a guy killed me twice with the MAv as well as about 5 other people ( I then sniped him 8 times in a row - lol) but my question is do you know how to hurt someone with it? I have tried but either keep missing or am not doing it right

From my experience harassing snipers, it appears that hitting an enemy at low speed does some damage. When I've managed to kill someone with the MAV, it's taken repeated passes to deal the final blow, or they've already been in a firefight, taken serious damage, and have taken cover and I swoop in for the kill.

I suspect you can kill someone in one pass if you come at them at high speed. Going to have to conduct some experiments in this matter.

There is a bug (kind of) that you can kill using the MAV. A lot of the forums complain about it. You might see in the next patch that this is fixed/removed.

So it looks like you need a good head of steam to make it work.

Can we expect a MAV riding Mythbusters episode soon?
