Not any more. Too much cheating. It's positively silly on the EU honor
servers. Last I played I was the _only_ player who didn't see the
opposition giving off red light, who couldn't call up a radar to see
where all enemies were, who didn't have a "flak jacket", and who
didn't have auto-aim + auto-fire.

Too bad, because I really liked the game.

I stopped playing this when I had to sit in a classroom and listen to a
teacher for 40 minutes, followed by a test, in order to advance the
game.

The fps equivalent of "nuke them till they glow, then shoot them in the

As the lecture is about 2 minutes long, I can see that it might be too
long for some people to sit through.

Mind you, you'd really have hated the special forces qualification
level.

I did the first aid one (it was really easy) but the one after it was
much harder (vehicle identification). After spending about 40 minutes on
them, I felt like a mug and decided to do something enjoyable instead.

And just what isn't fun about feeling like a mug!?

Yep, every once in awhile. Used to play often but like the others said,
too many cheats.
If you are patient and find a good server it's still enjoyable.
I'd play more if more people used voice comms, it makes the game a lot
easier coordinating an attack or defence.
I'd also like to see more FLS servers, particularly on the US west coast (honor)
and in Australia (non-honor). It's my favourite map.

Well that's one time I would cheat. Getting a pass in Advanced Marksmanship
was hard, I got 36/40 after 3 days :-(
If you really did the training then do a google search. There are (easy) ways to
get your account back to what it was before.
Mind you I find everything besides sniper training to be fairly easy. I still
play EandE just for fun.

lol for fun? That drove me nuts for days! I will be happy if i never see it
again!

Fls is my favourite map also along with weapons cache. As long as you play
on leased servers with an admin present you should have no trouble with
hackers...I avoid official servers now because of them.

Theres a new patch coming out soon too, can't wait to see what thats going
to be like!

There's a trick to it: Turn mouse sensitivity down to minimum.

That's right: minimum. As slow as possible.

The only reason marksmanship is hard is because the "movement quantum"
of the aim is bigger than the most distant targets unless you have the
mouse sensitivity set to a very low value. Try it and you'll see.

Yeah, good tip. I found out about that after the fact but even while playing
I now have my mouse sensitivity down quite a bit, it's easier to get head shots.
