Patch notes:
NEW FEATURES
* Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.
* Co-op: Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.
o Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.
o Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.
o Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.
* Default Kit Selection: The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

Ok, me wraith an pia loaded up a 3 v 32 co-op map...
IT WAS AWESOME...
we got owned almost every time, but it was like fighting ducks with spoons, they were really easy to kill, until a wave of ten came round teh corner.
The V drop works nicely, although will be the new exploit (dropped onto roofs)

Rumour has it that you may need to use the full 1.3 patch to have success...

Piacular you got to this before me! Ahh well next time..........
Actually I beat Piacular to it when I was trying to fix my version. Although he didn't believe me at first
My version is now broken too.
Before the 1.3 patch that is. As far as I knew I had all the patches before I went away. I come back and now I crash to desktop everytime I try to join a server.

I used the incremental with no problems. One problem I have noticed is that the red name bug is STILL apparent. Got it yesterday against a poor sniper on my own team while playing as commander...
Also... not sure if was just an issue yesterday or not, but there was a problem getting server info from servers... Server names were not showing up correctly, alot of servers I clicked on in the server browser had either a ping of 0 or a ping in the millions, and players currently on that server were not showing up correctly in the server browser either.
Vehicle drops are a pretty cool idea however, I feel they can be especially useful for chopper busting in maps like Karkand... you could drop one on top of a building and then get someone to park themselves in the gun (in a very high position) and let rip at the chopper...
