Yep, bottom right hand side you can click on the Friends list and you'll be able to chat to anyone online.

mumble is more reliable

Just unlocked the MAV specifically to join you gents next time. I was just tea-bagging you both while you were flying about!

GregTheRotter · 26th Jan 2012, 12:44

Just a heads up that I get back from south africa on the 3rd of Feb, so looking forward to getting back in the game. May however steer clear of the cpc server till I'm back to playing how I was. Don't want to embarrass myself too much

sotu1 · 26th Jan 2012, 12:59

Hehe don't worry about it bud, the autobalancer works pretty good now anyway and it's more fun to play in a team than on one's own!

LOL seriously?! I didn't know this was possible

Makes me wonder whether you can kill yourself with an EOD bot as well haha

feathers · 26th Jan 2012, 13:56

Is the EOD bot actually useful for anything? I drove it down escalator once on operation metro and drove it around while the enemy chased it.

I do it even now. Best corner weapon

ccxo · 26th Jan 2012, 14:28

C4 for everyone is going to be a pain now, would rather just support/recon as at least you know which bugger to kill when they try and sneak up on you.

Jet bombs welcome back to air power raping everying as it did in bf2, need to add ground AA.

Jeep Horn is awesome to have back.

Still need to buff tanks ie when a shell hits a chopper plane should be insta kill, tanks are too light in the game ie how you can power slide with a tank.

Javelin was becoming a problem with air vehicles espeically when the entire enemy team has them, sights for rps etc are gd.

Larger armour crusheing small vehicles is good, though still want improve explosive radius damage from a tank shell, as in bf2/bc2. Also jeeps like jets/choppers can survive a direct hit from a tank which is wrong.

Jake123456 · 26th Jan 2012, 14:29

Wth!? Javelin no longer locking on Air Vehicles?!..

And buffing the slug rounds is a brilliant idea!

[ZiiP] NaloaC · 26th Jan 2012, 14:36

That is a mighty impressive changelog!

Dwarfer · 26th Jan 2012, 14:38

That is a very big impressive change-log but no mention of any performance tweaks since B2K crippled my PC (:

Loving the new bombs added to jets, no mention of 2 man seats in jets. That would be win!

Not too happy with this, will this entail 1 shot kill style?! I hope not!!

Now I can stop shouting 'HORN' lmao :P
