Yea, those ones really far out there are sometimes tough. You can usually rely on the fanny packs or helmets or something, but I have a hard time making those out at times. When we were on Radio Tower the other night, I saw a blob laying down at a pretty good distance, asked over TS if it was anyone on our team (but we had one or two not on TS), then opened up with my stolen SAW. Turned out if was a dead body Or Oasis, the one with the sanddunes and the Hummers at the end of the river, can be pretty tough when your team splits up. As we learn the maps, things should become easier.

Polska, if you're around, what are your TS problems, aside from not having a working mic? Is there some technical problem we can help you with?

This game does heavily favor defenders that actually guard the objective. Weapons Cache SE? The only way the assault team should win (assuming the defenders aren't lost ) is when the defenders are wiped out. Courtyard is pretty cool with the random spawn points and objectives, but with one team defending and one team assaulting. Too bad I spend most of my time on that map constantly lost! Dockside with teams full of us on TS is fun, but is team deathmatch with random players. Extraction too. But then you have PCR (big building in the middle with a randomly placed briefcase) which almost always turns in to team deathmatch.
