I was going to ask about DB mod too.

I personally liked all the changes from it and would like them to be put into the mod.

Is it hard to change the old version of DB mod to work with the latest PR patch? Would really like it with this current version.

Aah, right. That has to do with the game engine averaging the terrain at a distance (to save on processing). The mapper either has to smooth their terrain or use a fix we have, but it slightly decreases performance.

Use the fix. It's a pretty annoying issue IMO. A slight decrease in performance is worth it.

Unknowns are a bad thing until they become known. In a recently clan match vs 3rdAC we managed to tear their forces apart by successfully locating and destroying unknown caches. They had figured it was best to leave them undefended and focus only on the known cache, which we did attack for a bit but for the sake of tickets we shifted to destroying unknowns. The result was typical of even a public INS game, the insurgents were forced to defend the unknowns as if they were already known otherwise we could have ended the game solely focused on undefended caches.

I felt this went to outline the faults in the current 2 cache system and I recalled many of those suggested fixes in the DBmod thread. Ultimately the one cache system does have it's pitfalls but it makes for a more focused fight, while in certain situations it makes for more interesting gameplay in others it tends to leave blufor in a losing situation. The one suggestion I would have loved to see tested was having the 2nd cache spawn only when enough intel was gathered to warrant a 2nd known cache. This way both sides are concerned about casualties as well as the possibility of having to split their forces. It is also especially helpful for those pesky cave caches that can be easily defended.

Any plans on making the aimpoints (thinking about the m4/m16 ones) smaller? Because it feels like aiming through a soda can when shouldering it.

Aren't they large (close to your eyes) on purpose, so they are actually easier to aim with and obscure less of the target than ironsights?

This!

And once again, Murphy: GG!

If you remember the 2nd Unknown you guys took down, it was in the middle of nowhere (tactical and strategical wise), not a very common location and still, you guys got it after like 3 or 5 minutes after it spawned.

The suggestion would have minimal impact on the actual gameplay but would avoid these awkward "should i defend this or not" situations.

I'd speculate that it's got something to do with a Mogadishu & USMC version of Ramiel.

Well on account the first dev cast had marines in it, I was kind of expecting it.

Here's a question for the team, what is exactly is going on with 128 player servers, is it going to happen or was it just a test.
