Was I in that game? You were bitching about the same thing on the Karg game I was in. Didn't know if the two were the same

That game on Kharg last night was damn amazing. I think it was just Noz, Dev and myself. Maybe oub was there?

I think I saw Black in later matches...

Have they added private servers to practice flying or is that still not an option?

stole a list of unadvertised changes from reddit

quote:


- Moved AA on Kharg (US on Carrier, Russian at Air strip) (Thanks whoever did this!!)
- Faster vehicle spawn (I mainly noticed air)
- Shorter game start countdown
- Much better responsiveness (Even better with AA turned off)
- You can fly through all poles from testing with jets and little bird so far. (EDIT - Only the top breaks, halfway down its still solid, which works out ok)
- Can spawn into AA guns (People actually use them now)
- **Improved sound EDIT: Can hear footsteps, reloading as well as voiceovers ( ahh frick theres a grenade etc), much more clearly, I could hear footsteps and reloading from next room.
- I think console sound cutout is fixed (EDIT: Reports that it isnt)
- Uninstalls B2K and forces you to re download (PS3 thing I think)
- Custom Servers (AU Pricing, 34.99 for 30 days, 9X.XX for 90 days, also has 1 day option and some others)
- Match Making option in multi player, seems to be for esport/organised scrims on custom servers.
- Reset some of my kit customisations
- Many Many small UI tweaks, minimap has more focus on team function icons (heal, repair, flags)
- Icons for vehicles on spawn screen
- Easier to see what spawn point is selected on map when selecting spawn
- No blind colour mode, but all the icons seem to be much easier to see (seem to be tweaked towards blind mode type icons)
- Jets guided missiles are actually useful and can take out a tank and nearby infantry (runners from tank) in 2-3 hits tops)
- *Stinger takes about 2-3 seconds to lock onto and fire, missiles seem to move slightly faster, 1 hit disable and if more then 1 engineer in area heli is generally fricked, I forsee a lot of heli's flying with ECM or Maintenance in future, range is greatly reduced but enough to keep helis off a flag and nearby area. EDIT: Lock on is UBER Fast, like seriously must be less then 2 seconds, there is however a minimum range which you can't lock on at all, might be about 15 -20 metres.
- Can quit between rounds
- Havoc is noticeably easier to fly but I still don't think its on par with Cobra, should be able to stand its own though.
- **Other squad leader objectives are marked on flags, I could see this as SL, it shows a star next to objective X1 or X2 if 2 SL have marked it**, this is awesome!
- Laser marker or maybe guided missile range seems to have been increased, could hit empty APC at C from Aircraft carrier on Canals using little bird.

---

- Jeep horn: LINK
- 5 flag wake: LINK
- (LatrellSwisher) Additional Dogtags have been added (A-91 and M26 dog tags. As well as a tag for the game 'Syndicate')

They have, but I think it's just rent a server for now.

This patch seems like one big moneygrab.

There's an article on mp1st that says something about adding private servers this week, but I don't know if that means they will be nonranked, frick off servers for flight school types like me or if that actually means they'll be adding the rentable servers.

I can't read the story because the link dies on me on my phone.

i think what the mp1st article said was that not all the rentable servers will be available at first but by next week they should all be up and running

it also said that the servers will have the option to be ranked or nonranked with the ranked servers have set rules that cannot be changed


here is the LINK to mp1st article

What is the moneygrab? Renting out servers? It's not really that big a deal IMO.

Renting out servers and selling attachments and unlocks.

Ms has to make sure their "Microsoft points" Exchange properly in the ea menus, id suspect

renting servers and paying for the unlocks is what i think they are talking about

the unlocks thing is something EA has done in the past and was something some people were anticipating
