can either of you chat with other people?

You haven't blocked each other by mistake have you?

You can only invite to player matches not ranked matches...

If voice chat also failed then it doesnt sound like the was the player / ranked match that was causing it.

can you connect up in other games? reason I ask is that I had a similar problem in the past in that I wasnt able to connect to certain people - problem turned out that my router was blocking off a certain range of IP adresses - had to reinstall the router to fix it.

You can hook in ranked, easiest way is to set up an obscure game type - works best if someone sets up a Japanese language only room and the other player searches for that, being in voice chat helps while you do this.

smoke is useful in certain circumstances, the terrorists are pretty dumb in the T hunt and can't see much through it. In terms of the campaign, probably not as much use.

I carry smoke when playing on-line. There is no point in games against other humans (team sharpshooter, etc - where other players have thermal vision) but it's great in terrorist hunts. You can literally take out 6-7 in an area under the cover of smoke, but remember to shoot and move a bit, or the others will fire into the smoke. I always use a silencer too which helps.

I am at Colonel with all bars lit so should get Elite this weekend !

Do you mean the points you earn when completing things like T hunt?
