Madgrip, I've never heard of queueing for anything, but if someone is waiting at the pad I always let them jump in. Perhaps he thought you were just waiting for a pilot as you couldnt fly very well. I always see people hanging about heli pads without them trying to get in, so it's really the first to jump aboard. You cant really muscle someone out the way but I guess they could sprint and beat you to the chopper if they got the jump on you.

I think I'm cursed... sorted the wife out with programmes off Sky +
sat down at the PC to play and.... internet connection down
Still off this morning before I left for work, I've reset the router which usually fixes it

I think what you could also do with the d/l is to install the EA downloader at home and copy the cache directory from the work machine to your home p.c. and try that.

I did see you on the Heli pad, the thing is that I was flying and Laserman was my gunner for most of the night as we had a good understanding built up
apart from some god awfull crashes down to me flying into trees a few times 
Sorry you got left but when there's a good combo going most people are reluctant to break it up
You're not missing much the SF copters are crap
unless its the SAS or US ones

MADGRIP - re helis, I can only assume he thought you were waiting for a pilot as said by someone else - if someone is waiting on a pad, we (SNAFU) don't normally muscle in... although equally, first person to the chopper basically gets to be pilot - mad-dash if you like.
Also guys - if you need 'a ride' use the command rose (Q) to request it, I (and the others) will tend to wait for you to jump in, sometimes even come back for you!

I played Euro Force for about an hour yesterday. Looks good, nice maps and loads of coverage for mines and C4
Did anyone else noticed their game score was less than usual?
I only got to about 28 points in the Euro games I played where as I'm normally on about 50-ish. I suppose it may be because of having to learn the new maps and a smaller amount of players etc.

28 is less?
If I score over 20 I figure I've done okay!
what the heck am *I* doing wrong?
(actually I've noticed my IAR scores steadily rising as I get the hang of the support Kit I just need to remember to drop ammo packs around the map to help people out...)

Kieran,
If I play solo, I generally only get about 20-ish points. If I play with my clan I get about 45 points as I generally play Medic so support my team when I'm not attacking.

Good? We got our ***** kicked from here to high heaven!
Mind you, the team speak was a right laugh Being a commander is a whole lot easier when someone is directly telling you where to drop supplies or artillery!

Not entirely convinced about the EF levels 
. Huge maps and a lot of running around in a pack of tanks (everyone an 'Eng') and not too many tactics. The maps are so big I felt a couple needed a 64 player server.
Or maybe I'm just hacked off at getting killed too many times...

In the end we had to go 'round in a pack of Anti-Tank guys and just had a slugging match

It does seem strange that in a map like Great Wall, which would be a great infantry only map (loads of nooks and crannies and areas that infantry can slug it out) that so many tanks etc have been made available. This slightly spoils the balance of this map imo.
Anyway, on the other maps fair enough, much more suited to open ground tank warfare. They remind me of the huge tank battles of the original BF1942, which I guess some people will love. I think you just need to accept these are tank maps, although I still think the balance is off for anyone wanting to slog it out on foot. Perhaps the winning side had the right idea last night, hunt in packs of tanks. EF deffo focuses on vehicle team work. I'll remember that for next time

Comes as quite a shock to run 'round a corner and see at least 3 armoured vehicles coming toward you I may have to check my stats to see if my greatest death streak has gone up (not to mention greatest enemy!)
