bout kin time,.......wonder what the maps will be like?


also do you remember me telling you about the quality service bars vj? after the downtime when we where on, when the server came back up there was only 3 people hosting and you could see the service bars so you could tell if you was joining a good host room, but once loads where hosting and you needed to scroll to choose a game they disappeared, so it,ll be like rainbow six now and you,ll see the service bars...shame its just for the host though i want to see who,s bringing lag into a game so they can be swiftly removed....

ps that chainsaw fix is only going to be any good for the lamers that only chainsaw anyways, i never get the problem cos i dont go round camping then jumping out with the chainsaw, also on the tag melee distance things in the update they should do the same thing with the chainsaw fooking sick of a chainsaw hitting you from 6 foot away...what b*ll*cks.
