sweet
i look forward to being a cloud

helis cant be clouds unless you have 2 of them, noob

This is going to be awesome. Also fuck the queue system unless play now actually fills dead servers. People only joining servers with 31 people in them will get worse. Maybe things will get better as the over supply of servers goes down.

Fuck yeah

wait can you actually be a heli cloud now

sounds like it

yeah except it throws smoke nades down it doesnt puff smoke around you theoretically you can throw smoke on another chopper and they become a cloud though

s my d

Everybody Here is a Cloud

they're letting us swear
and looks like they are fixing reserved slots ?

Will this allow me to use multiplayer again, and actually find servers?

If so, this is relevant to my interests.

Well now we know who to blame for the lack of a patch...ROMANIA! THOSE DOUCHE NOZZLES!

I remember watching the chat log and looking for CVARS when we first had the servers set up and thinking "who the fuck are they to mandate a chat filter on an M-rated game"

I mean if you want to have one fine, but it should be a toggle or a txt file for filtered words that is managed by the server owner, not the company.

always thought it was funny the soldiers swear every 10~ seconds but you get censored in chat

And the uber old patch that should've been out at the beginning of month is finally dated, somewhat.

Basically it'll be out on the 23rd.  If it doesn't hit the approval window in time, it'll be out next monday.

Not many lol I'll get back to playing alittle bit more with the patch which adds in smoke for choppers, abit slower tracer speed, and a few other things since I forgot what the whole patch is bringing.
