Yeah, it's really stupid. On the least part, they could knock the resolution down a few (lol already sub-HD though) since apparently playing it at 620p or whatever instead of the 720p default is what solves it for some people. Stupid.
In fact, some people have told me the PS3 beta had no input lag, so what the hell changed between then and now?

Christ, reading through that list of changes...it's like the full game is going to be released on March 27! Who's doing the OT?

Wow, that's a massive patch. Took them forever, too. All of this stuff has been badly needed.
It really shows that DICE should just do March releases and tell EA to cram it where the sun doesn't shine on forcing them to compete with CoD.

Did it have AA? I remember it looked terrible but I don't recall if it had AA or not.

Soooo the patch is coming to the Playstation 3 on March 27th, not PC or Xbox (so far).
I just...I don't...
At least some pics were included:

IMPROVED COMMO-ROSE FOR PC
As has been rumored for some time, we are making some improvements to the commo-rose on PC. This is partially based on feedback from the community.
Please be aware that the commo-rose will change depending on your current position vehicles and infantry each have separate call outs. Each function should trigger appropriate voice messages as well as icons on the mini map.
Each button should trigger appropriate voice messages as well as icons on the mini map. Players should keep an eye on the mini map for these icons that will flash when a team mate is requesting aid via the commo-rose.
IMPROVEMENTS TO MINIMAP
we are also adjusting the level of detail to give a clearer picture for players when using the mini-map.
The three new mini map modes are:
Lol on the "improvements to commo-rose". They talk like there already was a working commo-rose.

Damn, I was just joking earlier...
Exactly what I was thinking. We cant even tell what flag is being capped/uncapped
But besides a few minor complaints...this is the GOD patch for me. Below Radar acting ass it should (works against everything besides soflam) is freakin major for me. My low flying skills wont be complained about any longer! (looking at you demolitio)
Sure you can. They go in order left to right: A, B, C, D, E
I agree they should label them, though. And the voice-over guy could say what flag was just lost too. What is it he says, lost the fire base?
LMAO , they still havent fixed this shit...... worthless programmers

The weird thing is that the BF2 UI was fine. Clear, clean, easy to use and easy to read.
Why would someone ever request a sniper? I don't get that one.

That's what I thought, too. Way too few sound- and video-fixes.
Yeah, I love it when you don't hear someone locking on until the rocket is about half a second from impacting. Good times.
... And then explodes killing you leaving your undamaged aircraft floating to the ground.
So polished <3

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Wow. Gigantic patch.
I like that they are reducing the initial recoil for a bunch of guns. That has always been a big problem for me with my accuracy. Way too many others to really get a good idea for what I'll like and not like.
Don't understand what the hold up is for the PC patch no certification process here.

Biggest disappointment: no mention of indestructible antenna/lightpoles.
I read through the old list, but I dont feel like doing it again.
Whats different or has been added on the new list?
everything is the same, the only new additions are these parts:
FIXES FOR PC SERVER OPERATION
DISABLE ANTI-ALIASING ON PS3 TO REDUCE INPUT LAG
IMPROVED COMMO-ROSE FOR PC
IMPROVEMENTS TO MINIMAP
They are removing AA for the PS3? :lol
Sometimes it's like people don't want to win, they just sit and camp at the one flag we hold, in stead of going to other flags and capping them. And then they get mad when I tell them that. I just ended a round in negative k/d (ugh) because I kept trying and kept sacrificing myself.
Thanks. Minimap improvement is welcome.
I usually have the opposite problem. NOBODY sits back on a flag and just runs off to get other ones so stray enemies are free to just casually roll up and take it.Sometimes it's like people don't want to win, they just sit and camp at the one flag we hold, in stead of going to other flags and capping them.

My favorite is when you team sits around a flag, just at the perimeter of the capture zone, instead of moving in. That shit drives me crazy.

Then camp back and enjoy easy kills while your teammates do all the hard work?
I wish I had your problem!

If they're truly worthless players then they'll be getting their tickets punched either way. But that's why I generally prefer Rush and Conquest Assault over vanilla CQ.Sometimes it's like people don't want to win, they just sit and camp at the one flag we hold, in stead of going to other flags and capping them.

Yea, I'll usually sit back and defend, but if I'm by myself, it isn't hard for the enemy to overrun me if they make an effort. I do what I can, though.
I've put in 100 hours and it's been 99.9% engineer.

definitely the better problem of the two to have.

Yep, beta had no problems with control...at least from what I've played.
What's weird for me is that this controller lag thing has just cropped up now. It wasn't happening before but now I feel it and I sometimes have problems aiming -especially with pistols. Sometimes it sways slow while suddenly going so fast I don't even know where I'm aiming.
While I love the game, some of the bugs and "quirkiness" just irks me to no end.
Whose bright idea was it to FORCE people to have to watch the kill-cam? I can't even access my character screen or options menu while I'm dead? Yeah, I can but I have to wait till I spawn? WTF, DICE?
Color-blind option still not implemented in-game. Yeah, triangles for spotted enemies and squadmates make my eyes bleed.
Ironically, Battlefield is known as a "team-focused" affair, but squads are still broken for PS3. Is this the same for other platforms?
Again, I reiterate that I love the game but these stuff and a host of others (flag capping makes the actual letter block your screen?!) makes my blood boil and thinks some things weren't tested correctly...or they were done by incompetent people.

this.
This. This was teased a couple of months ago, what gives?
Whats so good about indestructable lightpoles?
I've recently discovered the virtues of using TDM as nothing but a tool to unlock weapon attachments and rank up more quickly. I'm Rank 16 right now, and Conquest and Rush have been a nightmare to do since many of the starter weapons are awful compared to what you can get down the line. Thanks to TDM (and that map with all of the shipping containers) I've finally managed to unlock some damn grips and sights, causing my game to improve overall.
I'm thinking about just TDM'ing my way up to rank 20, after that it'll be back to Rush and Conquest.

So when you run into them with your chopper, you don't just explode and die.
