I haven't yet, but I will give it some play time tonight. I hope it is not going to turn into a camp fest but if pre-patch non snipers are pulling no hold breath headshots with relative ease now then it doesn't seem too balanced...
At least objective games shouldn't be too affected by this.

They still haven't gotten rid of that cheap-ass martyrdom yet, damn! Game will be 2x better if they did. Still like the fact that you can mute people, but how is it that you can't migrate hosts mid-game? It seems like a good idea to make the scopes more accurate because I've always felt the ACOG was pointless, so a plus there. Although I can imagine camping will be worse now, but you could always counter that. I just hope the regular game doesn't grind down to a hardcore nubfest, where everyone's prone in the grass owning your feet:lol
Juggernaut + sprinting beats sniper camping.
If you do get sniped, grab a noob tube and take out the whole patch of grass they're lying in. ^.^
I'm not too concerned because I mostly play team tactical, and if people decide to lay back & snipe in that mode, they're at a loss.

This actually kind of, sort of, kind of works against the M16 too. It prevents the one shot tap from killing you usually, and if you can close the distance, you've at least got a reasonable chance of coming out on top.
Plus, for whatever reason, juggernaut pisses people off, so there is that too.

Can System Link be tweaked in a patch? Really, CoD4 needs proper System Link, it's so dumb how everyone who wants to play needs their own separate Xbox and separate TV. >_> It needs Split-Screen System Link play. Infinity Ward, make it happen. We ended up playing on the big 4:3 downstairs at my friend's house using a blanket attached to a tredmill to cover up the middle line of the screen so there was no screen looking :lol. The top left and bottum left people were on a team and vise-versa. It felt somewhat like the good ole days of Goldeneye though, even though we didn't use anything to prevent screen-looking back then.

I play Hardcore exclusively and I find it amusing when people use Juggernaut. Such a useless perk when playing with the big kids.

So when is the PS3 patch coming out?
Hunter D said:
Yes, you could get kills without holding your breath. But it didn't take practice. It took luck. Snipers were flawed, basically. There are tons of videos out there that show that bullets don't hit where they're supposed. Even IW admitted the problem. As some have said, you could basically aim with an M16 and be more efective at sniping than an actual sniper. That was just... sad.
I still think it takes skill. You still need to take into consideration many things, and given the fast-paced style of the game, finding a good sniping spot isn't that easy. In addition, kKilling without holding your breath only works at close to medium range. At that range, any non-sniper player can kill you.
If you're so worried about snipers, just use Juggernaut. You'll survive most sniper shots quite easily.
i play on PS3 and the only real thing i wanted was the quick mute...please for the love of god tell me we are also getting a quick mute..
If i have to play another match w/ another little kid who wont stop shouting/whistling/singing/bitching..
Another racist asshat who wont shut the fuck up..
Another dumbass who cant keep the noise down, im gonna need a new tv!
everytime i play online i remember why i hate this new gaming generation -.-

Right, but the problem is that even with voice level all the way down you can still hear people.TTP said:
And every time there are people who wont shut the fuck up i think to myself why people say "lolz no one has headsets on ps3 that is huge disadvantage."

Nah, from what i heard they got the patch to Sony for certification later than the patch for the 360 to microsoft.
Im not clear on when the PS3 patch will be ready, i just didnt know if they were doing the exact same changes as the 360.
Guess we'll find out soon.
So, the new patch has tweaked the m16, the p90, martyrdom, last stand, improved eavesdrop, cuddled kittens, AND
Has apparently completely screwed up hosting/joining games in the lobby. I played several rounds earlier with friends and we were constantly having issues joining games. Additionally, inviting some friends caused some 'Failed to join host' nonsense on their end, something I've never seen happen before.
Anyone else having issues? Pretty annoying
In a few cases, I'd form the party, find match, and it would stick me at the lobby staring at Matched Player x2-4 while my party members were nowhere to be seen, I'd have to disconnect and reinvite them.

I used to always have problems joining games but lately it's been fine.Router said:Anyone having problems since the patch? I cant join any matches anymore. Its effectively turned into the PS3 version now.

Just played a few matches (xbox 360) and got in just as quick as ever, team death match/mercenary. Ran smooth, but it usually did anyway. ACOG on the ak47+double tap was pretty sweet. The airstrike kill cam was awesome as well.
Seems like everything's against me using the new stuff.
-Used the Snipers, didn't really notice a change, but I didn't get to try it much against fast moving targets.
-Games were smooth, but they were almost always smooth for me pre-patch.
-Never got killed with either a grenade or an air strike. :/
-No hosts quit in 5+ games. WTF people!?
Didn't try out the ACOGs, but will later.
What I did notice though were the new spawns. People are coming from directions that I'm not used to seeing them come from. As a result, it's way more hectic and I had a bunch more deaths.

Just played a few hours with the new patch. Ak+Acog seems very powerful. Seem to be getting sniped A LOT more than usual on the run. I'm usually fairly lagged - 2 yellow bars (wireless internet) - but it seemed a little smoother, though that might just be my imagination. Host leaving fix worked 2 times, the 3rd time it failed. Bomb cam is pretty cool from the jets.
Just noticed the win streak in the barracks actually works now. That used to bother me to no end. Got myself a nice 21+ game win streak before I called it a night.
Used the ACOG a bit, meh.. it's ok. Better than I remember it being, but I still don't like it all that much. Still didn't get killed with a 'nade or airstrike OR have the host quit mid-game. :/

I'm pretty sure the ACOG's are better now. The sniper rifles are definately better. I actually got shot by some snipers today. No matchmaking problems for me. Still getting people spawning behind me in TDM games.
I wonder if Showdown is playable in FFA with the new spawn points.

Ok, so the patch isn't really a problem for a non-sniper like me. I played some free-for-all with some buddies on Crash, and did my usual anti-sniper schtick with a silenced p90, bomb squad, dead silence, UAV jammer, etc etc. Kicked ass.
However, they matchmaking/party system is still a glitchy pile of shit. Jesus christ. My clan is mostly people from the UK, and it takes like 30 tries just to get in the damn game.

So tonight we were playing some Team Tactical and ran into a clan of 10 year olds. Now, normally I use the phrase "10 year old" as an exaggeration to describe XBL users, but these kids' voices were so high, the frequency was piercing our ears through our headsets. I always get upset when I encounter kids this young in Rainbow Six & CoD, because it really just seems like ignorant parenting to buy a kid that young a game like this, or even let them play it.
The game was headquarters. We managed to get the score to 230-0 with 12 minutes to spare, then just camped outside the last HQ spawn, killing them repeatedly for the next 11 minutes. In the post game lobby, one of them said "I don't want to play this anymore", and they backed out. We successfully did the job their parents should have. ^.^
