i saw this too but wasn't sure if it was accurate. Most of it looks pretty good, but the thing where only 1 person in a vehicle gets the points for capping? That doesnt really make too much sense.

cool, can't wait!

ah good, the blackhawk can't be *****d to cap flags that good then.

gives mec a chance on that city map :\

and note, it *apears* they are making it easer to rank up, so everyone should get some bonus points added to their score

how to they know the difference between normal play and point farming?

i think they are just limiting the amount of points you can get from revives/heals/resupplies
