Those camos look great.
let's gooooooo
How about mechanics? Still 3rd view available in Realistic Battles and dead players can sit on their wrecks and inform team mates about enemy location? Ask yourself if that's fair play gaming.
how do the twitch drops work will it be just watch time or a random drop?
How about fixing the server issues with high PING and PACKET LOSS before doing tournaments that will lag the players out of the game? I seen a new update today and STILL NO WORD FROM GAIJIN ABOUT IT!!!!
last enlisted twitch stream, I watched the all thing and got all of the drops but none of it still shown in my game, how much do I need to wait before its shown?
