Asking a Dutchie to buy something he shouldn't have to buy in the first place? You should know we always think twice about spending money!
My mate is left handed so is in a similar position as you Rich

EA are stupid c*nts and that's that.I take it you never played Battlefield 2 (Modern combat doesn't count ) or 2142, so i will forgive you for that much. The Squad, in those games, was king. Sure, you had a time, but your squad was more important. It divided you up into groups that you could manage easily, on the PC, including creating squads of your own, removing undesirables and have a little private chat. It also made it easier for the commander to issue orders to small groups of soldiers, as well as split squads if they weren't cooperating. Both the squad and the commander were rewarded for their actions with additional points and a mobile respawn system. It worked. However, the squad system has been consolified, the position of commander seems to have been removed and ammo crates, artillery and the sniper's motion sensor have been added instead. Not quite the same, really. Also, the squad system is temperamental at best. You get additional points for assisting your squad with repairs and health, as well as kill assists, but there's no real reason to have it. sure, it can islate small groups from the other riff raff, because beyond my friends, i don't really want to hear 13 year old boys on servers calling me a burning stick for taking a tank he wanted but was only using it for repair exploits/XP farming. I make a squad with a small group of friends, i go out, and we try our best. It works, and i don't have to suffer the usual amount of stupidity exposed to in ranked matches. As for the hosting, they've has it the same in every other title for the battlefield series besides 1/1.5 . Ranked servers are hosted on their own hardware so they can Root out cheaters easily. It's a dumb system, but it stopped people farming on knife only servers, etc etc.So, partly EA, part consolification.

Anothing thing thats seems odd about this whole talking to people thing is that Battlefield: modern combat on 360 allowed you to talk to everyone on your team and that was 16 vs 16.

I'm a lefty but I don't play games like a spastic. j/k. Strangely I even played Turok Dinosaur Hunter and I never had trouble converting to the default control scheme. I was only 11 mind. And can I just say that the EA Sports servers are perfect, so it's not all bad at EA.
And you're getting on your bosses good side by posting on the internet?
it does what youre after.
It's beena a few more days now - further oppinions on the game that doesn't include the controller set up and broken lobby?
