As for performing a PS I don't know the specific requirements for earning one. I did earn one once while getting kills, (5 or more I think), without dying & setting squad objectives as the squad leader. However, the thing that pissed me off about earning it was that I died frustratingly trying to figure out how to perform it. So many people that never performed one kept telling me that it was peformed on the map screen like an objective, (as if I hadn't been performing squad orders & that wasn't the first thing that I tried to do). Well, "Supposedly", to perform an PS you have to be a squad leader & pull up the vehicle request screen by pressing "Right" on the D-pad."If earned", it will supposedly appear below "Dropship" at least to what I have been "told", lol.

Well hopefully this helped answer some of the questions that you have about PS's. Anyone else that knows the specifics for triggering a PS such as the exact number of kills without dying or squad objectives that need to be set or accomplished please post them. I too would like to know the answer to that.

I too would like to know the answer to that. The strike is a tad harder to run from than that. You have to already be in motion in order to escape it, so if your vehicle has stopped, or you have stopped for just a bit, the strike will hit you. Also, yes the vehicle screen is where the Precision Strike is, I used it on a LAV once to blow it up. A strange box comes up in your hand, you poke it.. it turns into a map-overview then you select a spot on the map to strike. You can sit anywhere and scout the map for a bit to see if there are clusters of enemies you want to take out with it. --when I used the strike I never set up any objectives, did not know I was leader till the icon appeared on screen. Apparently it relies on a bunch of kills in one life. ------edit---- The only thing I need to know now, is whether the strike can hit people inside buildings. As most blasts, strangely enough, cannot even turn corners like in every other game.... yet.
