1. Should I stick to the "Direct" or "Group" channel? And what does "Direct" mean? I believe "group" means my Fireteam or Squad, right?

Two of us got dropped of by the Venom on the wrong hill and had to hike 1000m to the correct. While he and I were trying to work out where we needed to go, we talked briefly on VON. I think I was on Global. Would this have been a time to use "Direct"???

Green=Group, that is your main chat 90% of the time. Remember that your squad leader is also hearing other chatter from command and other squad leaders. So its best to keep the von on green to a minimum. Several are white but Direct is line of sight. When using Green, you name will show and everyone in you squad can hear you. With Direct, only those around you can hear you. Direct is good for talking to others outside of your squad or if you must, shooting the breeze with your squad.
Stay off of Global/side 99% of the time because everyone can hear you.
If you ever find yourself separated from you leader, the best thing I've found to do is inform them on Group and if you are catching up to them with another, use Direct to talk to that person.

2. My only other comment: I thought foul language was a serious offense; I personally heard the F-bomb quite a number of times. My 15 year old son, seated at his computer behind me, who does not care for bad language, didn't need to hear that.

It happens some times. So far it hasnt been to bad for me, but even I dropped an f-bomb once. Was driving over a hill and talking to lead when I peaked the hill mid-sentence we were looking down the barrel of a T-72 tank. As in real life, it just came out.

I cannot wait to join again. Really had a great time. I don't think I hit a doggone thing, but I sure unleashed and felt important when the order was given. Bummer that we all got blown up at the end.

Do it asap . Just dont compare Alpha server to Bravo. Half the time I dont even get a shot off as I'm either guarding the rear or driving (I'm good at driving these ice skates now), but it still rocks. Though nothing beats opening up with a heavy mg to suppress the opfor.
