Post by: [TiG]MindPhuck on October 05, 2005, 08:16:50 AM

if you have tried it, what did you think of it ?

Like -
- map area name displayed on mini map
- the mini map auto zoom in to fit the map size
- the players names appearing in the vechicles
- the new player movement
- the new vechicle sounds and sounds in general
- supply drop appearing on mini map

dislikes -
- didnt see much yet that annoyed me about the game yet

other -
- seems to have better player movement physics
- seems to have improved on memory management

whatcha think yourselfs ?

Its Really nice to see the ranks going up so quickly and access to the other unlocks is brilliant.People are using the shotguns alot more and it changes the game quite a bit,Karkand with a DA0-12 is a terror.  :D

Been able to see who is in your vehicle is a great feature too.

Aye the new ranks are a little nuts. Still was gratifying shooting two people and going up a rank each time ;)

The map labels rock. Also the tactics for helis are now very interesting - drop the squad, maybe orbit slowly giving cover fire, then swoop in just as the flag is taken to pick uip the squad again. I really enjoy doing that.

Also wake island is nasty nasty.

They way it is I don't think you were getting a rank up per kill I think it was just taking you up to your new rank depending on your global score
