After spending more time with it, I love this game. I now see the light.
Last night 5 of us got on to one of the pvp/coop servers. We geared up with night vision, thermal scopes, long range sniper rifles, and assault rifles then loaded into some ATV's and a mounted Humvee and headed off into the night. We stopped behind a large hill overlooking an enemy held town. One of us pulled the Humvee to the crest of the hill and got on the mounted gun while the rest of us split up on the flanks of town. We got in position and spotted about four full strength squads and one mounted jeep patrolling the town. As soon as everyone had decent shots and good cover we opened fire. When the main firefight was over we had killed every enemy we had spotted but lost two of our men. The survivors and I then went down and capped the forward post and proceeded slowly through town. About halfway in one of our guys started taking fire from what sounded like an Enfield which seemed to be right on top of me. I wheeled around and saw an insurgent rushing me from barely 4 feet away. He fired a quick shot and missed and I pulled out my pistol and empty the clipped into him. He went down while my other man took out his spotter hiding behind the building. We then safely capped the rest of town and regrouped now with the squad back at full strength. Awesome game.
