not as such no, you can use the usual in game type chat, or form a party in battlelog and viop from there.

alternatively join a 3rd party voip app that is linked to the server you play on if they have one.

Thanks.

Just started hitting the co-op last night and got to the 5th level where you're a sniper team trying to rescue hostages.

We kept getting to the bit where you get into the apartment overlooking the river and have to snipe the enemies. However, it kept saying the hostages were killed and the mission failed. It may have just been the time of night and tiredness, but we couldn't work out wtf we were meant to be doing here. Are there certain enemies you need to take out first? Where are they?

You will have 2 lots of hostages in this level, one lot in the buses, others in the building.

Both times you have to wait until alpha team are in position, and then both press e to get them to deploy flashbangs before you shoot anyone.

In the case of the buses, make sure each of you takes one bus, signal the guys to deploy flashbangs, then both shoot the 2 terrorists on each bus.

Then in the building same thing, but each take a window rather than a bus, wait until your team have entered the building, and then trigger flash bangs, only then shoot the terrorists in the room.

Is frag ammo worth using then? I've unlocked it for the USAS and the M1014 but I'd assumed the lower damage it states would make it a bit crap.

I don't touch the aircraft, but you can swap seats easily enough in the ground vehicles. Does that not work in a chopper? (F1, F2 etc.) I remember it used to in Bf2, for moving between side guns at least.

If they get out? Not sure, i've always got out and then got back in on a ground vehicle if my teammate got out.

Tombo · 11 Nov 2011 at 12:03

You can press F1 to get in the pilots seat, only useful if you can fly though

What's frag ammo? How does it compare to Buck shot / Slug rounds in BC2? USAS with extended mag and slug rounds was my favourite gun in BC2.

using the frag shell in the DAO, pretty mental.

Found my PWP code today, is the flechette ammo any good? I've missed my trusty DAO12

What would be good, is when the pilot jumps out, you have the opportunity to either get in the pilots seat, or the pilot shouts 'bail!' or something relating to getting out of the aircraft, tank etc, so whoever else is in that vehicle with them knows what's going on.

The 'bail!' shout would be like throwing ammo to a teammate, it automatically get's said when the pilot ejects.

If I think the pilot has bailed I will usually switch to the cockpit seat using F1, but it was too late to save.

Worst part of that particular death, was I survived (albeit swimming for MILES out in the sea) while the pilot had died and I could see him taking off in the distance in the re-spawned heli :mad:

Omg, please tell me you can't combine that with the IRNV scope?

They are only designed for use when jumping out of planes. They are deliberately not deploying quick enough when jumping off buildings to be of any use.

make a party with the person you're playing co-op (unless its public matchmake) then you can use voice via the battlelog (i think)

'Wes said:

trouble is, you lose so much peripheral vision with the night scope, it makes them pointless on shotguns.

You need to use a shotgun at close range, at which point you dont need a thermal scope to see the enemy coming.
