I like the idea of motorcycles, in theory - but let's face it.. Joint Ops has one of the worst driving physics model of any game in the past 4 or more years. Seeing buggies traveling at full speed into trees and bouncing on and off them looks bad enough, I can only wonder how it'll be when motorcycles are doing it.

"Bambino explains how he wants the maps to evolve as a day progresses. Fog rolls in in the morning."

Notice how this is worded this time? "how He wants"? Before it was like... "Joint Ops WILL have time of day changes. As it gets cooler fog/mist WILL build up, and as it gets warmer the fog/mist will burn off. Imagine how this will effect gameplay."

I see they still get no ACOG rifle attachement. But they sure get everything else. Nova is still in kiddie mode I see. ;p

A Reflex sight is not an acog. Where do you get your misinformation? ACOGs are the 4X scopes. And it is not whining. The problem between snipers and Rifleman Class is because you cannot engage at proper distances, with just deathdot fakescope attachements. Reflex sights are CQB sights. 300 to 400 yards are more engagements need the acog.

Bambino explains how he wants the maps to evolve as a day progresses. Fog rolls in in the morning. There are clouds of mosquitoes during the day. At night, they give way to meandering fireflies and moths crowding into the lights.

hmm I wonder if thats something they will actually end up doing. I really liked the day/night cycle in multiplayer. Interesting to see the changes in gameplay as it happens.

Also this shot looks totally sweet and awesome
