  I got a Steam message over an hour ago saying official maintenance had been completed, but the servers are still down. What gives? I finally have an opportunity to try MP in earnest and it's a no go.

    just be prepared for when you can't play online because of EA shenanigans : ( I've only managed to play online once, for 1 minute, when I left because the teams were stacked 2:1 lol. (shack servers were full, NO FAIR!!) Oh and the ping sucked, would have been nice if the damn server browser told me what the pings were... AITOO that doesn't have pings to the different servers display? It's just a blank "--" down the list

        someone posted in MD they bought a west coast sandiego server i think?
        
        This will help us on the west coast. My pings to chicago/dallas are about 170-200ish. From what i can tell from in game tabbing

  Anyone pull off a "Parachute Kill"??
  I took a dive out of our chopper.. and as i flew down to the mcom station i saw a guy and i killed him about 10ft in the air and it gave me a Parachute kill.
  
  Are there any other cool kills? I always forge about using Repair kit to kill someone what does the message say?
