There's no settings I've seen for the headset Mutty, might you have been ingame with people without Coms?

Had a chance to play offline a few hours on friday evening, and so far it seems ok, only a bit linear which isn't anyting like the old Bad Companies.

Then played online with Sapper on saturday which was great.
Really liked it, and I think we did good? Also very easy to join each others games... just click "join session" and you're in their squad.

Looking forward to more games with ZP.


A few gripes on MP.

1) Like mentioned here already, the aiming feels a bit wierd. I just can't find the stting that feels good... but I guess I can get used to it.

2) Objectives and team mates cluttering the screen.
I wish there was a way to set the opacity for objectives, and also when you're defending an objective the Icon is big and centered on your screen. That doesnät make sense... really annoying to have a big blue icon "B - WAREHOUSE - YADDA YADDA" just above your crosshair. Hope they can patch that.

Aiming for me has improved now from the first day....weekend server lag didn't help. Mebbe it just me getting used to it...or i've found a nice weapon in the SAW...but i'm happy with the aiming now.

Also coms! Hallejulla! I been playing some with Jez and Jack Bauer...and the coms have been damn sweeeeeet.

Claymores are effective and the mortar is pure lols....suprisingly accurate.

This game is ticking all the boxes so far.

Aiming

Some players have been vocal in their displeasure with the final release aiming mechanics, they felt that it was spot on in the beta and the issue can be easily sorted by setting the aiming back to as it was in the beta. Kertz shed some light on the issue by stating “if it was that simple, it wouldn’t be a problem. It’s not the controls, something else is going on. engineers are looking into it.” Just a side note, Kertz was referring to real life engineers, not in game!

Also this might help our woes getting into a game.

Having trouble keeping friends in the same squad?, well if you're the party leader (the person that invited everyone else) when you are joining a game select not to join a squad while that match is loading and you and your friends will all be placed in the same squad. (assuming the game doesn't split you across both teams)

I was thinking about that when we joined our first game. "What happens if I click no?".

But I, in my simple mind, trusted our leaders.
Have any of you guys tried co-op yet... any good?

Surf took 'em?

I know I got a nice blood stained "Mass Effect" tag with Surf's name on it anyway.
I also got an ear. But it's not marked.

You can't use any Dogtags you've nicked. If you go where you choose your own, you can see which tags you've nicked and how many times etc.

I do love the animation of actually yanking the guys tags off his neck though.

Coms not so sweet from them great clear coms games i had with Jack last week....breaks up quite regulary now.

i been working on recon locks of late...the ump-45 after the nerf is quite weak..but i'm perservering with it. Got the soflam and the mav.

The soflam is gonna be great once alot of engineers unlock the javalin , and tankers the guided missile etc...

The mav is quite sweet too, spottting galore...really effective on tehran highway.

Having alot of fun atm..deploying a tugs at a flag and hiding nearby...and picking folk off with suppressor on. Had some great defence moments at D on Caspian Border.

As for sniping...cba....once i get the foregrip for the ump-45...i gonna work on my engineer some more to get the javalin.

Roll on the patch and buffed Ump, roll on Karkand.

I've just come to love how the bullet drop/gravity works on this game...
(like it should on all games)
I never played the other BF's much online, but comparing to most other games out there, there is always a problem with balancing the assault rifles vs the sniper rifles. Usually when you put scope on your M16 it means you have a fully automatic sniper rifle at hand.
But in this game, it doesn't really matter what scope you use, because the bullet drop and accuracy is what makes the difference.
Was trying some long range sniping with the 416 and a 6 x scope on Caspian Border, and while it wasn't impossible to hit people, it's pretty obvious the sniper rifles are superior at range, not because they're a one-hit-kill, but because they're are more accurate than your assault rifles.

It all sounds pretty obvious really, but most shooters are not even close to this "realism".

And boy is it pure satisfaction when you scope someone with an assault rifle, and aim about 5 yards infront of him, and 3 yards above him and end up nailing him!
Hoorah!
