i dunno if the M26 glitch is 'worse' than USAS with frag rounds, but it's definitely more overpowered. the most hated thing about USAS/Frag was just the overall effect of the splash+firerate+suppression locking down areas without people really having to aim.
i breezed to 520 kills on PS3 easily and i barely used it on 360 because i was mostly on big maps there and already i'm at ~300, and yeah, the M26 is ridiculuouly overpowered, but it just doesn't have the annoyance factor of the USAS/Frag.

I'm seeing a lot of people switching to reactive armor. So that could be contributing to what you're experiencing.
This sounds like a hilarious griefing perk. ADD IT DICE!!
Is the SCAR considered overpowered? The team I was on slaughtered the opposing team by 824 tickets, and I received this message (sorry for bad pics, I grabbed my smartphone for the pics since it was the closest/fastest):
His team was getting beat up this bad at the time he sent the message and then he quit the game:
We won by 824 tickets and I only went 21-4 and was 3rd MVP. I think he was just mad because his team was getting handled and I guess his two deaths were from me. Unless I was killing his squad too. lol

The SCAR fires a heavier round. It doesn't fire as fast, so I guess it can feel OP to someone spraying you with gunfire if you hit them dead-center/headshot.
I was getting owned by the M26 DART on one map last night, and I thought about sending a snarky message, but I'm mostly just jelly that I don't have it unlocked yet (and I refuse to pay for it).

The beta is already available on PSN? I might try that...
They said they were both on defense, hence his buddy hanging to the cheese tank. I mean it's not that hard to take down the anti air, if it was stolen would his friend really manage to get a hold of it during the whole game? If I was playing I would be trying to get it back like a madman (and probably dying a lot!).

For plus members (and there were other ways to get it too).
I'm really liking it. But the two maps are very small and the frags are straight out of CoD. That last bit is enough to sour some of the experience.
Hopefully the final game will have slightly larger maps and they'll do something about explosive spam around objectives (if they can).
I would remove the visible throw arc on frags and add a short pause before detonation. Or just remove them entirely as a server option.
How do you feel about BF frags in general? I hate that we don't have the possibility of cooking then. They would be much more effective that way.

I really like the BF frags, in particular the fact that you can't cook them. They're great for driving enemies out of cover and creating confusion, and that should be enough.
I have 140 kills with them so they definitely work, they're just not all-powerful. I really like the fact that you have time to react to them and take evasive action.
Cooking. This is my mistake, but I don't usually throw frags tactically, to flush people out of cover or create diversion, when I throw then I mean to kill the guy in a corner, or behind something, and he has like 30 seconds to get out so I miss a lot of kills...
I think in the end I'm just annoyed that they don't behave like in most other shooters out there, so I should rethink my style when using then. And I should use more smoke!!!

I don't know how many times I have to say this, but people seriously need to stop being so vehicle obsessed. Be it trying to ride one or kill one.
By the time you cleared through the tank mines to grab A, you already lost half the flags.

Yeah, I know...I just think that if you had the possibility of cooking you could use then either tactically or offensively and they would be more useful all around. It's not like when you throw one the only option for the enemy is to run straight at you or anywhere in your point of view.
I think in the end Dice won't allow it because it would turn modes like Rush (specially on some maps and spots) just too hard. The other day some dude could disarm a crate before my frag killed him, and I swear I threw it just as he started! He just stood there besides the grenade, and I was out of bullets and too far away, we lost the game and I guess I didn't even get the points :-(
I can't count how many times I was not under direct fire, threw a frag and died before it went out. I feel like it takes forever to explode, and the average life time of a player is usually around a minute.
Also anyone would like different kinds of grenades in the game? Like in COD? I think it would be neat!

do that many shooters even let you cook grenades? i know most let you hold and aim them, but not very many that i can think of let you cook them... being able to cook really does change the balance of grenades too...
no way, BF3 needs smoke grenades, flashbangs and sticky icky plasma grenades.

But do you think it would change for the better? I'm honestly curious here, you seem to have been playing BF game longer than most of us! I just joined in BC2! Lol!
I would trade flashlights for flashbangs any day of the week man, the way they implemented flashlights is just ridiculous you get blinded outside in the middle of the day!
One of DICE's dumbest decisions ... and it's hilarious that nonsense is still in. It even acts like a damn force field.
Not being able to cook grenades was a core gameplay decision that Kertz took a public and vocal stand on, and I for one completely agree with him. Grenades aren't for killing, although they CAN be used for that on occasion; they are for diverting the flow of battle in a more favorable direction, and in the hands of a skilled player, they are a fantastic resource.

All M26 types with heavy barrel attached.
DART and Bucks get higher damage, frag and slugs actually become weaker.
Remove heavy barrel if you don't want to feel dirty. That way all M26 Mass type remains normal.

What about the underslung rail? Can I have the heavy barrel and not the rail... and still not feel dirty.

You can have the heavy barrel without the underslung.
Supposedly it's normal then. Howeer, don't take my word for it.
*watches as med kits go into extinction.*
Medkits, so useless in BF3.
This is how to pwn easly.

got a multi kill with the M26 on 360 
almost at 500, M26 gonna be retired tonight

It was a server-side patch, apparently they need to release a full patch to fix the issue.
Is it just me or does it seem like this game freezes more often ever since the last patch?
Ugh...just had a game where I made 10k points just in objectives/kills and there were like 10 tickets left, game was about to end with a nice win. Probably would have easily gotten 15k+ with awards. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE
Fuck.

It's so annoying. I never get freezes in bad games, or when I'm playing like shit. The game froze for me as soon as it ended, I didn't even get the your team has won screen. But at least I got the points, ribbons and awards if Battlelog is correct...

This.
People flock to tanks like their moths flying into fire. Vehicles don't arm shit, people do.
Yeah, people in vehicles is why we lost those matches.
Dreamgazer

You can't lose rush if everyone is in a vehicle.
Vehicles don't arm stuff is a fact.
Am I saying that people shouldn't try to do what they do best and take out vehicles? No.
(and yeah, I know not everyone want to commit SPM suicide to watch the m-com since that's not fun for most.)
Except people aren't going to win the match just by having the whole team dedicating themselves to being engineers to take out vehicles either. You certainly won't win the match when half of the freaking team are driving off from the objective. That or have one guy guard an objective while 5 enemies are running in, while half of the team are out in the middle of nowhere doing who knows what.
As much as the chopper may be annoying, it's the freaking guy that drives in on jeep, boat, whatever, flanking people that's arming the objectives.
Also people don't want to stay near m-coms *sigh*

Man it's hard to get into this game as a newbie, everyone has better weapons etc. Also my aiming sucks.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Some of the best weapons are very early unlocks believe me. Just pick one and stick with it until you unlock some optic sights.
Why are you saying your aim sucks? Are you having difficulty with the controls, or you're just not proefficient with FPS?
If the controls are you problem try disabling anti aliasing on the options menu, it helps a lot of people. Mess with the sensivity settings too, until you find something that suits you.
If the controls are not the problem you just have to play more, train and eventually you'll improve.
Just remember that in Battlefield there's tons of ways to help your team and score lots of points besides killing enemy players.
Edit:
Weapon unlocks that are really good:
Assault - M16A4
Engineer - M4
Support - M249 SAW or Pecheng
Sniper - I wouldn't really know since I only play then with PDWs. The UMP 45 is really good, unlocked at lvl. 16.
Yeah, the SKS is supposedly godly after the patch, but I still haven't played with it to this day! Lol!
If ToLateToLove is a sniper player it would be a really good weapon for him! The physical warfare pack is a free DLC now isn't it?
Argh!!!! I want to play with you guys right now, but I'm seeing the UFC! Hopefully people will still be playing when it's over!
