I got that impression.
And I did not like it.
Guess that keeps complaints down that someone cant' talk smack?

But what's the point of not being able to see your teammates kills and ect? How can we talk shit to (our friends) the enemy like that?

I really don't like the restrictiveness in the feel of play with the chat and the unlocks.

It as keeps squad members from ghosting, reporting where they died.

Oh, I guess that explains VOIP too then

ZING!

Seriously though, new question, why do some dislike the kill cam so much?

Is it just preference or is there something more to it? Like the feeling your cover/concealment is blown?

It shows where the enemy is, which is pretty lame.

Still, I find it hard to actually pinpoint the person half the time since they generally move or if they are a good sniper, it'll be hard to tell where they are anyways.

It is not major though, I think it just adds more of a challenge anyways which I enjoy.

That's what I thought it might be.
Still, as fast as the game flows, I don't see a problem, and it gives less info than being spotted it seems to me.

And what's up with the numbers shown on the scoreboard next to peoples names? Not the rank, what I am talking about is a white box with a number in it. Some people have the same number. It does not appear to correspond to squad numbers.

I think that is their Battlefield veteran rank. So it shows how many previous BF games they wasted their life on. :P

I think you're right. Took me a bit to realize that too. My veteran rank is now 6 and I now have a 6 next to my name. I've seen others with it too. Not sure how my veteran rank is 6 though since I should just have BF2, 2142, Vietnam, Heroes, and now BC2 listed. Couldn't find my 1942 CD Key and the expansion ones don't count supposedly towards your rank.
