My biggest concern right now is that i can?t find English speaking squads! Every frigging squad i joined yesterday was speaking Russian and many of these guys where using nicks or clantags related to the Third Reich, spamming the voice commands and using offensive language!

What's wrong with the Third Reich nicknames? Did it break gameplay balance or were they going to put you in a gas chamber?

The biggest problem with that is, that there are actually people on this planet who do not grasp the fact,
that being from Slavic origin and being a Nazi and/or glorifying "Nazi-stuff" is the most ridiculous thing ever!

But I guess I know some of the guys you are talking about and yes, they can be annoying.
When they actively "troll", "grief" or mistreat server rules, report them. Otherwise you can't do anything.

And regarding server rules: I, personally would always vote for a 0.0 tolerance against racism of any sort.
And yes, I would even go as far Clantags and Nicknames. But then again, who do you expect to admin all that?

I hate to contribute to the fact that thread goes off-topic, so people please forgive my final post on the matter.

I can't agree more. But as practice shows, people using Nazi names in game are usually not the ones who glorify Nazis, but those who like to troll sensitive people. Racism too is quite often used as a means to provoke and troll the thin-skinned. It's not that I like trolling and griefing, I too hate when some immature losers come to game servers not to play, but to ruin the game for the rest of us.
My ultimate point is that there is a thin line between when people really are racist; and when decent people may want to poke a joke (like calling someone "Nigger" in a friendly way) and get banned for racism because in some countries certain words or signs are magical taboos. And I don't have to remind you how attractive a forbidden fruit is.

Back on target, I'm loving the new small Black Gold AAS map, finally makes good use of the city and 100p inf combat in there is amazing and terrifying altogether.

I actually managed to sneak behind enemy lines at one point into the construction building. Took out the enemy sniper twice and a Machine gunner that had set himself up. My heart was pounding the whole time.
