The flag letters on the minimap will be good too, and something I hadn't thought of before.

I already liked the ACW-R and now I should like it even more.

Dissapointed no mention of fixing rear surround.

Looks like some of these fixes for the guns/damage are reverting back to previous settings - are DICE DEVS bipolar... o_O

Well apparently Ive over Hooahed this morning. I was going down my list of friends accomplishments giving a hooah here and a hooah there, here a hooah, there a hooah, and everywhere a hooah, when suddenly a big red popup with a skull and crossbones appeared on the left of my screen. It informed me that we were all out of hooahs and to try again later. Who knew one could run out of hooahs?!?!? o_O

So if you are on my friends list and kicked major ass last night but received no recognition, now you know why. :p

sweet so now its even more usless on the console.
Same on the PC, its already too darn fast for me to control. I need an unobstructed view of my target to hit anything as it is. If it were slow moving like the valkyrie rockets in Black Ops then I would be in business.

the speed is an issue on the console as well but the major issue is how poorly it stears, which has to do with consoles not having independent sensitivity for things and generally not being as fast as a mouse, you can crank on the joystick and the thing turns like 1 degree every 5 seconds

i really wish they would give the console some more sensitivity options, make it so the tank turret also turns not slow as hell

Explosives now remain after death

does this mean i can C4 a tank and die and then blow it up after i respawn again? because changing that was a good change.

if it means that claymores stay after death then im all for it

C4 already stays and I they fixed the detonate bug, I think now it just stays till you lay more c4 but you cant set it off

Also no more mini map on HC. Thats the way it should be, but I have to admit Ive become a little dependent on it since we've had it for so long now. I wonder how that will work with the TUGS and MAVs. :hmm:

Hmmm, honestly, I navigate via mini map all the time. Even more so with tanks. I see a red dot and then vector in on the area. That is why I sometimes get confused with the crane on Canals.

A nice substitute would be what they have on MoH Warfighter. (Due to the NDA I am under I can't tell you what kind of mechanics it has. :( )

"Decreased the SOFLAM range"

Almost no reason to play Recon anymore. That range needed to be increased some, not decreased. It's hard enough to get people to cooperate when using SOFLAM and designating, now the range is decreased on top of that? Pointless to even have it now... :(
