comment How powerful is the Atomic Bomb?
IIRC fallout also causes a movement penalty.

comment What counts as an armored target?
Are you sure Generator does counts as "armored"? It's a different category from other base-assets, code-wise, and can be damaged by bullet weapons.

comment Can you individually use a SOFLAM to your advantage as recon class?
At least on PC, I think the SOFLAM is now destroyed if you try that.

comment How to quit Battlefield 3 without getting any “Quit” stats?
"How do I exit the game during a certain point" is different from "How do I trick the quit-tracking system to help pad my stats".

comment Can exploding ammo crates cause damage?
I have never seen an ammo-crate explode in >100 hours of play. He probably was hit by a mortar-strike once, and mis-interpreted it.

comment What are the new Battlefield 3 assignments?
Note that while the five "lines" of assignments are all active and can progress at all times, each one's "second tier" doesn't activate until the first is done. Example: If you have not yet completed "Familiar Territory", then kills with the DPV jeep will not be counted to "Scarred Veteran".

comment What does the X mean over my crosshair in BF3?
To add to Bora's comment, when sniping with bolt-action rifles, holding down the fire-key allows you to remain scoped in to see what it lands. (Unnecessary if you equip the "Straight Pull Bolt" accessory.)

comment How does the MAV work in Battlefield 3?
ALSO, AFAIK it is 30 points in total. First 10 points from the normal "Spot bonus" (which applies from all spotted-enemies-which-are-killed) an an additional +20 from the fact that you used the MAV to do it.

comment How does the MAV work in Battlefield 3?
It is worth noting that (unlike the behavior in Bad Company 2 and during the Beta) teammates will only see 3D pips for spotted enemies if they are in their line-of-sight. So if an enemy is behind a wall, your teammates must be paying attention to their mini-map to gain any benefit from your spotting.

comment What is the criteria of “Foxiest of all Hounds”?
Hmm, I'll need to find a good place to test it. Some encounter areas don't work well because they're not SO-able for other reasons, or because you can't see whether you got it due to cut-scene timing (like the Hengsha docks.) I might see if I have a good save from Highland Park and try saving the box-bot for last.

I thought you could get SO for the morgue retrieval mission...

comment Which missions can I earn the Ghost and/or Smooth Operator bonus on?
Certainly Detection Feedback is superfluous, but Analyze All Datastores could have been useful if it didn't require 2 praxis points along the tree. Hmmm... Last Known Location Marker never seemed too useful, anything above Mark and Track 1.0 was more tracking than I really needed, and Hyper-Oxygenation upgrades seemed pointless except for running around hubs.

comment How do I earn the Pacifist Achievement?
Also: Punch-through-wall kills whoever is on the other side.

comment How am I supposed to kill the final boss on the Deus Ex difficulty?
There is also a hackable security panel on the central pillar. With the code you get from Darrow, you can shut off life-support (and the turrets) extremely quickly. (Does not count against pacifist achievement.)

comment Is Windmill going to be fine without a gun?
Or just grab a non-upgraded weapon from the pods. There is at least an SMG around.
