1. You can scroll back through your chat history to find messages you may have missed. Hit your key to bring up your chat prompt (default /) and press page up to go back and page down to go forward.
2. You can set waypoints for yourself on the map which will provide visual indicators as you move to show you where to go. In the map, shift+left click on a point on the map, then close the map. You will now have a floating indicator in your view which also displays distance, very useful for moving to waypoints assigned by squad leaders.

Ha. Fatty's follies, that was a once in a gametime fluke, I was laughing too.
I think we should create a mission, place 4 unmanned tanks 2000m out, 4 Helos on the ground, 4 pilots. First one to run to their helo, spool up, take off and snag their tank, and drop them in the water wins! We'd need observers at the various stages of course, and a stop watch!

When you have a grenade launcher equipped with multiple varieties of grenades, you can use your mousewheel menu to select and load different ammunition such as coloured smoke.

When driving land vehicles you can press and hold default key 'Q' to drive at a slow speed, suitable for allowing foot-mobile infantry to keep in formation with you.
