Well why the fuck would they release an update that torpedo'd the servers a day early? It's retarded and makes me fucking mad.

If the co-op controls are representative of mutiplayer controls... they did more than just fix the input lag.

I'll be your wingman anytime?
It's probably for the AC-130. But PC does have two-seat jets since launch. So if it's coming to consoles that'd be weird since they were all "TROLLOLOLOL PLAYERCOUNT TROLLOLOLOL."

Lol even fewer people on the ground on consoles. Hey DICE, thank you based god for fixing the controls... now let me play just without the jets.

Really. Hmmm, sounds good. I know you were pretty vocal about the controls, if you think they're good then yeah.

I'm waiting for Close Quarters to DL and then I will test them in MP... but in co-op (and it's possible they've always been fine in co-op since I can't really remember what they were like pre-patch) they felt very similar to BC2.
In BF3 they have a type of gun sway that I find really distracting, the end of the barrel bounces around annoyingly (unrealistically imo, which is what bothers me) and sometimes messes with my aim. That is still there, but the actual controls feel very good. I wasn't overshooting my target when trying to aim like I normally do in CQB situations. I think it's due to a combination of changes to acceleration and deadzone more than input lag. But I can't be sure. Whatever the cause, it seems completely gone. The controls feel 1:1 like in BC2.
Again, not sure if this will carry over to MP, and how others will like it... but it feels natural to me. And I can;t wait to finally own some people in MP again like I used to in BC2. Hopefully. We'll see soon enough.

EDIT: NVM
I'm really tempted to download the update on PS3 to see the new aiming. And you all should turn on colorblind. It's fantastic.
Not even remotely close ;P.
Uhh, no.
Not even remotely close ;P.
Uhh, no.
Controls are improved. The input lag seems to be gone on PS3. I know this from playing Co-op 5+ times. It's a lot more snappier and responsive. Nice DICE. Took you forever though.
AA off makes the responsiveness faster and so that may be good for quicker on the draw encounters, but it also makes it a bit (IMO) unwieldly in ADS encounters. AA on makes the responsiveness "smoother" and so I lean toward that. You might want to try both to see what I mean and then go with whatever preference you want. AA off isn't going to be too noticeable in online, but in co-op you can notice on the stairs and stuff if you look really closely.
Anyway, I really gotta deprogram from input lag and reprogram with no lag, since while I'm good at aiming on the draw in co-op, I'm having issues keeping the bead on them now and then.
Uh, yes. They have. It's a passenger seat, but it's still "two seats."

PC has not had two-seat jets since launch.
It would be interesting though to have both variants of the F-18.
The F-18E(which we already have) with only air to air missiles plus the F-18F(two-seater)with only air to ground armament.

Thank you for your impressions, guys. It only took DICE like what, half a year to finally fix the controls? But it sounds awesome now. Now I just have to buy the game again since I had traded the damn thing in. :/
Really?
I was only able to test it out for about 5 minutes and certainly noticed how the sensitivity seemed way up, but I wasn't certain if it was me or the controls.
Didn't have time to play with the settings to get it to somewhere that I'm comfortable with as I'm about to leave for the night shift. and Afterwards it's almost straight to bed.
So I won't get to play till tomorrow.
Could you explain a little why they seem to be better?

Well... the US servers are still down. I played a couple seconds in Dave's match but the lag was retarded so I quit.
Controls didn't feel like they did in co-op.
Hopefully it was a combination of lag and not being able to play for more than a couple seconds.

2.38Gb for an update, that's way too much.
I ponder if I should buy BF3 premium. Part of me wants to buy it to renew my interest of the game, another part of me is beginning to get bored with it, and I wonder if I should just wait for a "GOTY" edition...

Userbase inferiority complex?
-EDIT-
Before I get called a "troll"..I don't play COD, I play BF. I will never understand why DICE/EA fire shots at COD. They did the same thing last year.

I didn't feel lag and it felt like co-op but I wasn't paying attention
That was a bug in the beta, it's only a 1 seater in the retail version.
Really? Never had any problems with it before, but cool. With the reduced suppression, hopefully I can use the Assault class a bit more effectively now. Well....if I can manage to squeeze the patch onto my harddrive somehow...

When does CQ drop on PS3 without premium? 2 weeks from now or one since PS3 gets it a week early? Horrible promotion as I don't even know when I can buy it.
