Aussie flag? Has anyone dev come and remove that part of the mini map we could see the flag? Damn! I missed the flag!

[LIGHTNING [NL]]

Muahaha! But yeah, the map has Australian flags now, just like Bardia.

That's not the only part they removed. They removed the post I made where I mentioned the fact that the player was... or maybe I just shouldn't mention it again. They removed the corresponding part from the picture too.

Luckily, I saved the original picture before the devs came and edited it.

I editted it myself the good boy I am. Oh and consider yourself lucky with what you saw Johannes and others.

Indeed, it's part of our new HUD work, but it's still work in progress, so we'd rather not show it. You'll see soon enough.

I do... I really do...

I don't really know what to think of that grappling hook, to be honest. I hope it works OK in the game and is balanced enough, but I find it awkward that previously the devs have been dead set against things that may be abused in the game and to me, this just begs players to try to break the gameplay somehow. Wonder if it's just me. It feels a bit like BF1942 wingwalking (man, that was fun though!). Have to see it in game to form a real opinion though.
However, the devs know their stuff and it's their game - I trust them to balance it properly. The betatest team knows what they're doing as well, but they have quite a workload with just testing that grappling hook. I guess I'll have to get used to seeing something like that screenshot Donutz showed...

[GoldFingero]

I found one of Donutz screenshots!

What? What is the sound? * looking out the window * I see Lobos Corsair, and it has bombs! It flies against my house, I see the bombs fall! AAAAAAHH! KAAAAABOOOM!

Can't be Lobo, he would walk from Spain to Sweden to strangle you with his bare hands.

Lobos Corsair:


But you may have the right! Lightning could have been allowed to use it!
