+Color of the scope glass and the crosshairs are customizable

+Journalist: You can hear it very good when someone starts to drive the remote controlled vehicle. It can drive up stairs. There seems to be no time limit for the vehicle.


Statements by David Vonderhaar, design director:
+We modified the capture the flag mode to adapt it to fan requests
+Barebone mode: No weapon extras, no killstreaks, no equipment. Only primary and secondary weapons
+There will be perks which will help to stop enemy "killstreakextras" like choppers
+The SAM turret can be installed on the map and then it shoots down enemy air vehicles automatically
