smoke screen plus motion sensors plus a good uav pilot to spot are essential for attacking. then have snipers cover the m-com after bomb is planted.

OK, stupid question time , when a medic throws out a health kit, how in the hell do you use it/pick it up???

Just stand near it. You are healed automatically. When I throw med kits at people feet, I get heal points and they aren't doing anything but standing there.

Thanks Deft, I know you were throwing kits my way last night, and I would just stand there. But, the thing I don't understand is that I still have the bloody outside frame, which to me would mean that my health is still low. I just thought that a kit would make this disappear instantly, rather than go away slowly.

Yeah, it doesn't go away instantly. It takes about 4-5 seconds to be healed fully if you are near death.

Thanks Deft. So, the recovery time is greatly reduced by a med kit when compared to recovery time without. Didn't notice that.

If they would just explain things in the manual better instead of us having to guess how things work. Also a tutorial like warhawk would have been a nice addition to multiplayer especially when it comes to trying to fly a helicopter. I see alot of people get in one but then just crash into the ground. I really love the game only thing was the contrast was too high but I knocked it down a couple of notches and raised brightness all the way. Now it looks the way it should as everything had a crushed look before making it overly dark..
