NT im getting mine from amazon I think its 27.99 or 25.99 not sure.
The american ones come with a headset for free because its a team game and one person has to be the general of the army and he get intelegence on where the other team are from people in planes, then he has to direct troops on foot / tanks to parts of the map in order to ambush them.
Also if your infantry and your in shit, you need to be able to speak to the guys who are flying the helo's in order to get there arses over the where you are if your out numbered
So everyone will be speaking on a server thats built into the game I think. To give messages and to give the broken arrow command
So butty its deffo a buy one this as youll not get online without an online code. There will be a onbe player but they have put that much effort into this game for online team play it will be totally shit.
They have changed the scoring system as well, its not just about kills, if your a help pilot and your transfering people to different parts of the map due to the generals comand you get points for each person you deliver safely, i think if then paracute oute of the helo and get shot you lose points so you have to fly carefully quick drop them and get the fook out. If your a machanic you get points for repairing tanks that may have been mortored or jeeps that are needed to get your troops to where they have been ordered to, if your infantry you in the firing line and get points for kills obviously lol
Tank drivers get points for taking out other artilary, and so on, planes for info to general and bombing enemy targets set by general.
I think the point system is something like the above but it hasnt all been finalised yet.
You can choose which position you want to play however you need to be of a high ranked player to be a general, so a noob couldnt jump on a server and be a general, you have to have a decent record of play, all your stats are kept by EA Games so you get ranked on your skill in the game and only when your a dam good fighter will you get to be able to play general status.
For obvious reasons the teams will be english verses french speakers or english speakers verses german speakers simply for communication purposes.
Its going to be fecking awsome and im proper excited about it
Im 30 ffs and nearly wanking myself off over a computer game
(supose ive thought about worse in the past)
