about being able to throw charges into vehicles... I've shot the gunner in an apc through the open hatch in the back... there was no driver so it stayed still, I ran to the back, too close for the gunner to hit me, and I shot him, or naded him. I wonder if I can knife him...
I'm going to buy a new computer soon. This game is one of the reasons why. By the way, any suggestions on a video card? I'll probably be buying it from alienware.
Just got out of an awesome game w/ Sonic, Abra, Briktal, and some more guys from #ns. It was great. Even though we lost every round due to the other team being just plain better (and a little bit of stacking), it was a blast every round.

<3 Supernorn, Sonic and Briktal. It was great fun. Let's hope we get some quality teams next time. (By quality teams i mean, teams were we win - just a couple of rounds, if not every) I had a bit of a fuzz over a couple of our commanders, most of them constantly forgot to drop artillery, even though it was repaired. GG Guys, ill go to sleep, the birds are waking up outside.

Hm, I'm worried about my Soundcard (which is a SB LIVE or somewhat like that) Other then that, my computer can take this game with a grain of salt. (For the record, I can't upgrade the Sound card, it's not integrated but it has a thick bundle of cables running to a headphone part in the front... and they're soldered in. Damn Dells)

i hate the sniper rifle in most games. its more luck than skill. i like the sniper rifle in enemy territory. that has to be my favorite sniper rifle. you actually hit where you are aiming.

I don't think they do nearly as much damage as they did in previous BF games. I rolled three grenades under a tank earlier - it didn't even reduce it to smoking almost-dead mode.
Yeah, I was rolling around in a tank, and some little bastard came up in a jeep, jumped out, and planted C4 on my tank as I was about to jump in his jeep and drive away. BEWM!
The combat is more realistic, and fun TBH... How you die (camera-wise) is awesome, although sometimes repetetive. Alas, the sounds are excellent (whizzes, whirls, and explosions and such! Muhuhaha, my head is spinning from knowledge, awesomeness and commas!).
