whoa, what's up with the quality of that video? did Youtube get a bitrate boost?
someone needs to make an OT! hahahaa
youarealreadydead.jpg , no seriously i will try it in an empty server like i did with Jet and gamepad. Crashing the Heli at the base in a full 64p game will only bring me rage and a admin "noob" kick
Have to dig out the changelog for this patch. 1.4 GB is quite something.
Excellent. No need for the repair tool anymore. I can play an area denial loadout (stinger and mines).
Did they buff the flak resistence perk yet? It was a while ago they mentioned something about it but it would be really nice.

I'm okay with this. Heaven forbid if pilots actually have to perform some evasive flying. These two helicopters flew straight into the battlefield at the perfect range and altitude for stingers. So fuck them. I feast on their tears.
how can you evade 2 rockets when you only have 1 flare?
Link is incorrect, but I added you.

lol. By flying....??? This whole mindset of flares being the instant, cure-all solution for missiles and stingers is going to have to change.
Pre-patch, on maps without AA tanks, choppers dominated the map with impunity. Infantry couldn't do shit. I'm glad to see this change.

For those who have the patch, what practical difference is there between the ECM and flares now (is there any)? Having two abilities that were basically the same only one was crap was yet another obvious bad idea in the game, so I can't blame them for "fixing" that. Does the ECM still break lock or is it exactly the same as flares now?
The changes sound interesting, and to be honest the only way people ever shot me down before was due to the whole missiles going through countermeasures/instant kill of pilot on hit bug anyway (which better have been bleeding fixed, as well as the suicide TV missile bug that I doubt will ever be fixed). The only thing I'll miss is breaking lock at will as that lead to lots of interesting chopper battle tactics.

The 870 is Ridiculous, I was 1 shot at least 50meters away a few times today in Metro...

There seems to be a way to completely cancel the recoil in one of the weapons, this really sucks, consoles will probably have to live with this for a while, im hoping for a fix on PC before everyone and their mothers use this weapon in every server:

Heh. That's irrelevant. The MAV is a gimmick, not a cornerstone of the BF series.
So far, the biggest change is the recoil for all the weapons. It's like starting over. :|

Is it me or is the performance better? I'm definitely get higher framerates on Karkand then I did pre-patch.

People complaining about the MAV nerf? Cry me a fucking river.

Is the patch live on XBL yet?
Well, I mainly brought it up because I've seen lots of MAV abuse lately. It may not have a huge effect but I do think there will be a noticeable effect while playing. So many people get shot in the back while trying to fight that thing off.
But yeah, recoil is huge.

From a vid I watched on youtube, the commentator said it helped a ton.
Game seems faster, overall. Haven't had enough time to play it, but hope it's not a bad thing.
second freeze in 5 minutes now. I don't know if it's because of my new joystick or the patch but BF3 never froze before. Fuck that.

just gotta have a friendly support nearby. 1 kill per MAV sounds more than fair. some people wanted MAV kills completely gone!
it does. and even with AA on, i swear it feels better than before.
and the most important thing (for most people) still isn't nerfed properly!
Nope. Been killed by heatseekers so. Maybe they found a glitch
Everything is blurry as fuck with increased suppression.
Guns feel like laser cannons now with decreased recoil and you can hit people without needing to worry about aiming or compensating for recoil.
For some reason dice decided that some guns attachments should randomly change when you die and equip the flashlight.
Where you want your river? And you can still MAV ride, you just need to prone now.
Yeah, seriously, screw the MAV. People complaining should realize it was a freaking glitch kill, that MAVS aren't flying deathbots, they're surveillance tools. I don't mind the MAV elevator as much, since people would still use the parachute method to get to high spots anyway, but the flying lawnmower of death had to go.
Actually it was intended to kill people, that's why they had a kill count for it. They just didn't intend to make it as effective as it was

Oh well. For the most part, the changes seem to be pretty damned good. I feel like a moron for being excited that they actually label the CP's now.
Killing people with the thing was hilarious though.

Well the M4A1 + silencer combo seems to be way less effective
It was intended to kill people the same way the defibs in BF2 were intended to kill people lulz

Wow, the assault heartbeat/dead teammate symbol is WAY too big on the minimap now. If you're on the narrow setting it's okay but on medium or wide it obscures other symbols to a hilarious degree.
