you can pick the game up cheap, got mine about 2 weeks ago from amazon for £13, luckily the key still works. id never hered of it till my friend calld and pretty much insisted i get it...i dont often buy games (usually download em on bit-torrent) but this one is worth it for the online action.
superb game. i cant play stoned though, i just get my ass kicked lol, up to about half a joint i see improvement, but any more and its all downhill lol

my username is mattx86 if anyone plays regular. i havent got the hang of the squad thing yet, always been playing alone which is starting to be my downfall.

cant belive i almost let this game pass me by, its really good. normally play spec ops or anti tank, sniper occasionally.
yeah, you definately need to squad up... if i'm alone, doing good i can expect to maybe finish the game off with 40-50 points... in a squad, i can easily get 70+ even have got over 100... squads aren't that hard anyways, just play your role... if you're support, pass out ammo, offer supressing fire to bottle neck places while your squad gets ready to move in (say there's a whole in the wall, just start shooting off rounds into that hole so no enemy gets the idea of coming out, they position themselves on the wall at either side of the hole, you stop firing, they file in guns blazing) if you're a medic, revive revive revive... and if you're the only medic, keeping your team alive is priority 1... if you'r ein the thick of enemy territory, i wouldn't even try to find the shooter before reviving.... get him up, and run for cover.... repeat til you're all dead, or the enemy is all gone. sniper, you're a spotter... as you move with your squad try to take high ground so you can spot for enemies... in gun fights, take some relative cover but not far and start picking off enemies... mostly everyone's going to be worrying about your other squad mates with the automatic weapons... leaving you wide open for some close sniping action...

when in a squad, set your leader as your spawn point... and leave it as that... squad leader's job is to position himself near a flag to be captured but out of sight, so his members can keep spawning on him and moving in... he's a mobile spawn point... good leaders stay back, and only fire when support is needed or they're being fired at.... if you're in a squad and the leader is continuously running straight into enemy terroitory, guns blazing, find a new squad :thumbsup: lol... cuz yal ain't gonna do too good....

mostly tho, you just watch your squad members back.. there really is nothign special to know about being in squads... just follow your leader, keep your eyes peeled and work as a team (i.e. you and another member go through a door way, turn the way he doesn't so you can cover both sides, if no one's there turn around and keep following your squad.)

it also helps if you pick one weapon set... after awhile into the match, the sqaud begins to become accustomed to whatever class you are.... you were support but now you changed to spec ops and everyoen's screaming for ammo but you don't have any to give... it can get confusing, but it's worse when there's a couple of medics and they both decide to change class at the same time... the medic is actually the strong point of any squad... the best squad i've been in so far was 5 medics and 1 support...
