the red/yellow indication is to do with the fact you or the server are lagging
there are various reasons for this make sure you are not downloading and as server says pick a server with a low ping as that is why you are having difficulty killing
oh yes and pick one with a few ppl on it as its not realy mp otherwise
raw **uk server** boston and jolt are some of the best depending on the ping you get for them though there are plenty out there
couple of other tips dont beg for cash ,when messaging someone they might be busy so dont always expect an instant answer and the cardinal rule dont p**s off the clans or mods on a server

Our server is called
{MN} Mercenary Navy (High Speed)
and as the name suggests it is one of the fastest servers around, but as a result of this we can only host 20 players.
