One of the things I miss about BF1942 is the feeling of remoteness that you could get in some maps. I remmeber in El Alamein there were a couple of little villages with houses that were completely out of the way of the battle with no capture points or objectives. Too far away to be of any use as a firing position. They were there 'just because'. I used to find it great fun going to explore the map and finding out of the way obscure little places and hearing the occasional rumble of distant artillery or a plane flying over.
It gave a real sense of scale and being able to get away from the fighting made you feel like you were in an evironment rather than in a arena. I know that's an odd thing to want to experience in a wargame, but it gave a good sense of scale.

No it will not get fixed and i hope it doesn't. Its there to prevent dolphin diving, i think.
Dolphin diving is the jumping and then instant proning, it has nothing to do with getting up and moving again

It has to do as now you can't go prone without 'doing the animation' of going prone. the same happens to standing from prone, the pause you feel is the time it takes to stand up.
Played for my longest session last night on a 32 man conquest. I still suck but found it easier to get used to the maps and wasn't so unorganised as my experiences on the 64 man servers. Have levelled up my primary weapons quite a lot as i'm sticking with support for now and it has improved my game a bit.

I agree with some previous comments on the front-line aspect, but despite this I find myself getting into it and having a blast.
I've had quite a few people add me in Origin but if you can re-add me (or indeed anyone else) in the in-game browser that would be great - I'd like to try some proper teamwork with people. Although I can't be trusted in a helicopter, scrap that - any vehicle.

i think it's because they eventually got round to fixing a bug that meant that not all servers were being returned in search results.
I think it just kept on returning the same set of results and a lot of servers were not getting a fair chance.
So it's not that they are suddenly empty, its that they have been empty for days but you are only now finding out they exist unless you knew the specific server details.
jump and then hit crouch and you will sail thru the window everytime

Had a good game on the Bronken server last night on the map grand bazaar. Tealc and myself were battling for number one spot. I eventually came second 
Seen Pighardia too, you killed me a couple of times

Glad to hear people are having some decent games on our servers
Once again, any issues either give me a shout through Battlelog or through our web site

Yes, that is bothering me actually.
So many times yesterday I could have pegged it but had to wait for the slow delay and got tagged.
