We're all playing the 360 mainly. Personally I think the air support is fine though the martrydom perk does get annoying.

I've started to play it on the PC in MP. I will be playing it this weekend when I get back from work today. Yeah the air support is a bit ****e, but I guess it's just a reflection of how well your team is doing... I'm loving the mp version of the game... still getting used to it, getting better, but I need to learn the maps and the styles of games!

Arti & nades are not as big a problem on the 360 as there are not so many people in a game & the kill/death ratio is Much lower. Personally i think the maps are to small for the PC. Kills come far to easy so every 2 seconds you have someone letting off Arti. I find the games on the 360 to be slower & more tactical with people valueing there lives more. Less arti & less nades.
I am gagging to let myself loose on the PC version again & steam around like a nutter but i am determined to get used to my controller asap.
On the PC it took me a matter of hours to rank up & get a good string of kills. It's taking me ages on the 360 & i only just got my first ten kill streak last night & i only got that by using the chopper & camping like a Bitch

I quite like the grenade spam really. It's annoying when you die by it, but it makes sense to me that they would be powerful. Plus it keeps me on my toes when I'm camping an HQ for example.

Neither of those are showing up in my server browser. Are they 1.3 or 1.4 servers by the way?

Sorry but I hate it. Maybe PC games get more players than 360 ones but, when there are 20+ ppl in the game, you tend to spawn, run a few feet then die in some random grenade explosion then repeat ad nauseum.

I think the "tactical" grenades, like stun, flash & smoke are fine, but the frag grenades are a total PITA.

Regards the air support, it's far far too easy to get and each one begets the next so you often have one team running away with the game with endless air strikes and helicopters and there's little the other side can do to get back into it.

It's just something you have to get used to imo. Much like AWPs in CS being a pita.

What game modes are you playing? I tend to stick to the team based ones so wondering if that makes a difference maybe? Seems to be more tactical that way.
I've no idea if the player limits are different on the 360 version but I rarely play a game without a full server.

Finally bitten the bullet and upgraded to 1.4

Shagpad is added to my favorites but doesn't show up in the list. Can connect to it manually though - weird!

Ventrilo appears down atm.
