    In real life tactics, it's fix and flank. Meaning if you put down heavy supressive fire, your enemies will duck. You don't have to be accurate, then you get another team to start flanking, then shooting the target from the sides.

    @Ahmad_Metallic: Hopefully it'll be Steam integrated so you can load your CD key into the system and still download it...I doubt it, but hopefully.

    As far as I can work out it won't be. Hence the drummed up launch of ORIGIN.

    @ShaneDev: Exactly. Seems like Demize99 got more power over balance, which is only good. Great, in fact. Probably the best dude for online shooter balance in the biz.

    The suppression system sounds fucking amazing. Will make my role as support that much more awesome.

    Not enough video-game-related products called "Origin" and "Reckoning" ...

    I'm not sure how I feel about the flashlight thing. Will it only work in dark areas? It'd be stupid if you got blinded by a flashlight in an already lit area.

    It only works in dark areas like the subway tunnels on the Metro map.

    It's not really anything like that though is it? I mean there isn't a ridiculous meter or anything like that, it has to work against actual players so it sounds like it's much closer to the system Red Orchestra has then what Brothers in Arms does

    I suppose one shouldn't write off the service until you know how it is...but(t) fuck EA.

    It looks like the tank machinegunner will be visible on the outside again, which will be nice.
