we had a muppet kicking up a stink last night - he was voting to kick si as commander and then started banging on about helicopter 'noobs' and got abusive when he was told to shut up and play

No really biggie - you get idiots everywhere

Anyway - enough of that... I was very pleased with myself last night getting you with a one shot kill from half way across the map! Sniper duel or what?

Me getting you with the knife kill was lucky - you need to remember to lay claymores down - I got a few people last night with strategically placed ones near flags

Oh, and apologies to all.. I was in a foul mood for most of last night. Work was a complete pain yesterday which did not leave me in the best of humours. Still I did get to save the day in Wake Island... last man standing and I managed to capture a flag Pity we lost the airfield - I was having a WHALE of a time in the air!

Does seem remarkably stable compared to previous releases. Wonder where the catch is...?
