I personally think they are scrub lords just as shotgunners airbursters ect. They do it for easy kills and are scumbags, it doesnt even matter if you take it out with a mortar they will spend the whole game trying to mortar. The guys that camp with the mortar and ucav are bad as well. I dont think its good that people can be in safty of base and spam something that kills people, theres no skill at all. ---

the mortars in BF4 are not as good as the ones in BF3 , in 3 you had smoke, it was great for rush maps. ---

I get the gist of what you are saying and agree in part. The mortar is useful to help clear the bottle neck so we can get through, otherwise the gauntlet is too costly. I don’t spam the mortar either - it’s too long of a wait for reload. The camping I don’t mind as long as they can be engaged. If they hide behind spawn, GROW a PAIR come out and play(unless that is their only spawn point). Another cowardly example is on Zavod, when they take M142 in Zavod to their home base. ---

Are mortars an actual issue on locker? I don’t think I’ve ever been killed by one. Then again, I don’t play 64man 24/7 locker. ---

Not really, mortars can be useful for the outside part. ---

To be perfectly honest with you, mortars on Operation Locker aren’t that big of a deal purely because the map is so closed off to the point where you can consider killing someone with a mortar a huge achievement. Now about the people that use mortars on that map. Instead of camping they could be a valuable asset to the team and play that Support class effectively, providing ammunition to the team or pulling off those flank routes with M249 or something. The way I see it, they do more harm to your team than they actually do good since they can’t provide fire support efectively and a campy player is no good. ---

When the entire team is garbage and has let us get spawn trapped because humping A or E/ trying to spawn trap is more important/MLG than covering the outside flank then yeh I’ll kit change and bust out the mortar to try and clear a path outside and I’m not ashamed to say that, I’d sooner help try to win than get buttraped ---

If you are on the 1 or 360 you can just stop playing now because I will find you and airburst you again and again. But only if my morter expert buddy does not get you first. I know your types well, you are the guys that don’t have the backbone to stay for the next round you probably did not even finish the one you are crying about. > > people complain about airburst because they take no skill and are just cheap. > > > [@Trokey66](#): > > > > > [@XxgunjyguyxX](#): > > > > > > > [@Trokey66](#): > > > > > > > > > [@XxgunjyguyxX](#): > > > > > > > > > > > [@Trokey66](#): > > > > > > > > > > > > Counter Mortar? > > > > > > MAV? > > > > > > > > > > > > Why is it so difficult for some people? > > > > > > > > > > except you have to use MAV for the entire game as they keep resupplying. > > > > > > > > > > majority of the people who mortar are bad players that havent the skills yet to actually engage people and are quite happy to spam for the whole game. > > > > > > > > > > > [@keeohtay](#): > > > > > > > > > > > > > [@XxgunjyguyxX](#): > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I personally think they are scrub lords just as shotgunners airbursters ect. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > They do it for easy kills and are scumbags, it doesnt even matter if you take it out with a mortar they will spend the whole game trying to mortar. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The guys that camp with the mortar and ucav are bad as well. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I dont think its good that people can be in safty of base and spam something that kills people, theres no skill at all. > > > > > > > > > > > > I get the gist of what you are saying and agree in part.

If some one is Mortaring the snow lane, is he defending it or camping? If some one is Sniping the snow lane, is he defending it or camping? If some one is covering the snow lane with a bipod LMG, is he defending it or camping? I think you die to much to Mortars on snow so instead of doing something about it in game, you have come here to cry about it. ---

Thanks for the heads up, now i never have to use it again! > > why? wheres the skill in spamming something away from danger? because i wanted to finish the ultimate assault assignment which requires 50 UCAV kills or mortar kills. i don’t have the UCAV so that kinda narrows down how i have to do it. figured i’d finish the round and i ended up getting the service star for it. didn’t think that would be difficult to understand.
