just to chime in quickly, this has quickly become my top 3 multiplayer games of all time. It's right up there with left for dead and starcraft. it definately has it's flaws, but i think the build and battle becomes such a great glue for shooter and strategy. In my opinion it's one of the most innovative (i said one of, not THE) games of the last 10 years. the perk system seems shallow especially since you can have only one, but it's meant to make you work together as a team. a good example is squad leader(?) and bruiser. squad leader allows your team mates to spawn around you and bruiser lets your melee attack do damage to buildings and vehicles. so have p1 fly over the enemy base and p2 spawn there and start taking out enemy buildings. it goes pretty deep and if you get in with the right people it can get pretty organized. the matchmaking is by far the worst part of multiplayer. There's just been too many times when i'm in a match and 5 of my team mates leave and it's a 3 on 7 massacre. Also, if no one has a headset of any can, just like you said, things can get pretty messy. To your original question, the conduit was ok, but it wasn't what i was hoping for. Innovative controls, pretty generic everything else.
