A few 'Q' spotting comments.
1) 'Q'ing enemy is very, very important. I can not tell you how much it helps when a large number of the enemy are constantly being 'Q' spotted, but it makes them at least twice as easy to kill, probably more.
2) 'Q' spamming your keyboard does not work. I tried (ashamedly) just moving my crosshair randomly over the enemy base hitting 'q' as fast as I could, to 'see' any enemies I happened by fluke to be cursor-on at the time. The game protects itself against such an abuse. After about 10 complete miss 'q' attempts, you can not 'q' anyone for about 3 minutes. After this 'cooling off period' it seems to let you start again.
3) 'Q'ing an enemy through a window does not work for many buildings, even if you can clearly see them.
4) 'Q'ing different units seems to last in 'spotted' mode for differing amounts of time. Soldiers last least amount of time.
5) Effective 'Q'ing doesn't half rack up the points! 65*20 points 'assisted killing' (not hard if you've got an awesome viewpoint of the enemy) is a lot more than 10*50 points for going rambo!
6) The UAV is 98% 'Q'ing, 1% sending missiles in. If you're using the UAV without hitting 'Q' a lot, hang your head in shame soldier, you're letting everyone down!
When clans start getting good at this game, I reckon they're going to be hitting the 'Q' key almost as much as the trigger.

There's nothing quite like standing behind cover, watching your mate (who is on Vent) out of cover, crouching and shooting away, only to get blown up by a grenade, thrown backwards and off the pier into the water.

I'm guessing "Q"ing doesnt work in hardcore or give you points?

One thing makes me laugh, I spot an enemy in a small building, think i throw a grenade through the window, it bounces off the unbroken windows at drops near me and im dead lol, ive done that at least 5 times now, you'd think id learn, one time i did pop the window first only to have no grenades left, lol

Good to know about the penalty on pressing Q too much, I press it all the time, even Q-strafing the enemy base if I am in a chopper 
Is there any benefit to pressing Q while in hardcore? as it just seems to announce it on the radio, and when playing russian not very good!
Also is there a limit to the number of targets you can highlight? By the time i highlight 3 the 1st one is gone again.....

Are there any OcUK servers that are non hardcore and have at least 24+ player slots?
I prefer normal Rush or Conquest and no team stacking with plenty of people running around to shoot.
Any ideas, even non OcUK servers if anyone has any recommendations, I'd appreciate it!

I was going to buy this game before I read all the bad reviews about multiplayer servers etc.
I guess I will wait until they fix this if they ever do?

You still get points for it, but the enemy dont show up on screen
Our server is on normal rush most of the time 32 slots, my mates do like to make it hardcore sometimes though, it is currently on Squad deathmath but i will change it back soon
Been busy the last few nights when EA works!
to be honest its not that bad servers go down for little while but it is getting shorter and shorter so soon shouldnt be a problem annd once you in its mayhem full on.
normal rush not hardcore knubje
Grenades should go through windows - always have for me! (Ammo/Medic boxes always go through - my friends always laugh their ass off when I go out my way to through a box through a window. It amuses me greatly dammit!)
Multiplayer servers are fine and the game is nothing short of brilliant compared to the rest of the FPS franchises on the market.
The problem lies with EA, their login server (still) can't handle American Gamers logging in, every day since release at ~7-8pm (2-3pm) their time the login servers have died for 30 minutes.
