Been ropey since yesterday, what a load of rubbish. Why are they unable to get the system working reliably when they do these updates

Did you get the codes for the extra weapons (if you're bothered that is).

according to xbox support it's up and running but there are difficulties with the 'Video Marketplace'

usually play as a sniper with the QB gun

The Apache (any helicopter) is fairly easy to use but now most people are wise to that it's quite vulnerable to LMG fire.

yea i dont tend to go out of my way to get in a chopper.

i know some awesome sniping spots that nobody ever checks


got to rank 25 yesterday and was surprised to see it unlocks the "skill levels" of the people you are playing against, no idea what all that is about, i cant see any reason for it

As with Highlander there can only be 1 number 1.
I think it's just to see how well or badly people are doing e.g. a lvl 25 with a skill level of 50 is going to be a pretty bad player and just possibly blundered there way to the top rank.
It does seem to be a bit of ***** waving tbh.
I think i'm skill level 6 although have reached the dizzying heights of 2
