they *should* be doing it for the patch. best time to build momentum.
also, Premium was on sale last month on consoles. 33% off on XB1/360 and 20% off on PS4/PS3 (36% off with PS+)
and Mortars. and UCAV.

Heh
Most of the band ditched their 360s. I think.
Would be awesome to get a group going again.
Or running around on the ground floors/indoors. I rarely get sniped in Sabotage on that map even if I'm on the roofs. Probably because I'm too close to the edges to where they can't see me in the open. *shrug*
Needing to counter is rare on PC. I can't imagine it being that bad on consoles. Must be the auto-aim.

i have a 14 day xbox live trial code, want it?
That would be fun. I have my 360 still but no gold either. I would consider buying a month if there was a crew rolling though.

You're much more vulnerable with both of those. Plus, I'm not sure the UCAV is capable of the steep angles required, meaning you'd be firing from A and E to succeed.
Edit: So under the new patch it would take 30 seconds to refill 5 rounds of the XM-25, of which you will need at least 3 for anti-sniper purposes. They're idiots.

It's an attempt to "balance" Metro spam. Which is kinda stupid. Grenade spam I could see. But XM25 spam wasn't terrible on most maps.
That makes too much sense. Gotta balance your game around bad maps instead.
I find this hilarious, because the weapons work as intended everywhere else except on garbage hallway maps like metro and locker and the carrier areas of naval strike. They even go as far and introduce riot shields to help players push up on these objectives, and its still totally defeated by explosive spam in those maps. They work fine everywhere else. I just don't think there's any point in balancing against anything that's already broken to its core. Whatever lessons learned with BF3's Close Quarters expansion were completely lost on them.
Well, it's not exactly just Metro/Locker. DICE isn't outright saying that, but it's what I feel. I really have no clue why either of the explosives were nerfed. They weren't spammed that badly outside of Locker/Metro and those maps pretty much wanted explosive spam given the tight quarters at times. :/
But again: I could see the case for the grenades, esp. the v40 minis. I can't really see the case for the M320/XM25.
XM25 and the Mortar shouldn't even be in the game, so there's that.
Patch is great. Game felt especially good in a 64 player chain link server. Pretty hectic, but I never felt cheated by hitreg. I still hate that, when sidestrafing, your momentum can carry your shots ever so slightly to the left or right. This is especially annoying when hipfiring shotguns.
Just played with a friend to test out the new patch on PS4. We were against like 6 gaffers (Faceless was among them, I think). Hooo boy...neither of us have played the game in like 3-4 months, and it shows. 4-14...wow.
As far as the patch goes, I think it definitely improved the game. I think I dig the new TTK. Generally, my shots go where I point them, which is always good, and I'm getting hit markers when I should. Shooting off of boats felt better as well. I did have to turn my sensitivity down a bit, but I'm not sure if that's anything the patch had an influence on.

it's not. there usually isn't a need to and most of the time you can just ignore them. but occasionally, there will be people who actually use the recon as a spawn point to stay near the B/C points.
it can reach from the gas station, highway or lower rooftops, never tried from the ground.
MAV can reach the ceiling on the map to counter that, yeah?
Anyway, the GOL's "straight pull" jumps around, yeah. The others are pretty much minimal in jumping around while the next round is chambered. It's really weird, since you're pulling the bolt back and not the "actual bolt" on the gun itself just the chamber. I don't get why only the GOL's scoped-in pull would do that tossing around. Happens in CTE as well. I guess no one bothered to just check it.
I'm so angry/sad about this, and knowing them this might never get fixed.

the best feature in the update hands down is sensitivity sliders for iron sights, midrange and long range scopes as separates.
so satisfying to finally crank up the default sensitivity high and adjust the ADS to 20% of that and scopes to 5%.

Not home at the moment, and it may be a week or two before I get back. Definitely queuing tho whenever it hits XBL.

M16A4 is god-tier now. No recoil, no more "jamming", almost no range limit, and hipfire is not bad at all. I was just using it to get the mastery dog tag but it's possibly going to be my favorite AR now.

Shit you can do that now?! Gonna have to go in and experiment .
Yes. You can even set the HUD transparency and icon size for ADS/non-ADS. So if you think the default HUD is "too cluttered" you can shrink the HUD pop-ups down now.
If they included that, which they should've. I don't recall CTE ever needing to massively tweak that.
I also suggest that everyone turns on the Defensive Perk icon in the advanced options since they (stupidly) made that non-default before making this patch. Might be a preference, but it's good for extra information of "needs one more bullet" from spotting someone.

Does Origin normally just refuse to reset your password?
First match i tried got hit by a new bug (New for me at least): Once you're on a queue you cant go back.
I could even operate the battlelog UI that was behind the Queue Pop Up.
Had some great matches with GAFfers

yeah it takes a serious while to tweak all the new settings to your liking. I recommend Test Range.
minimap size, icon sizes, transparencies, sensitivities... there is literally a million new sliders in the gameplay and control menus under Advanced
No. You're looking for "Conquest Assault" which isn't here.
Im guessing the only reason that jets exist on dawn breaker is because of the AC 130, otherwise, I simply cannot see the purpose of its existence on a map with all those buildings in the way. Even then, its still not needed when you still have AA vehicles available.
boo.
That's how they roll on console land.
Also "Classic" is a server setting. I dunno if DICE is going to make "official servers" for it on consoles. I don't think it'll be popular with most of the base, especially on consoles.

Hot damn I love the FAMAS. It feels even better after the visual recoil changes.
