Opinions about the patch.

Suppression was easy. You just played Metro and fired in the general direction the enemy was.

MCOM defense was a whole different matter though, since there's such a small window to kill the enemy as they set the MCOM off, as well as the enemy team firing on you while you were close. Nowhere good to hide.

Got them all done pre-patch but I'm excited for the new gameplay that will result from this patch. No more campers and cheap kids!

Voted very positive. Mostly because of the custom servers though. I like playing CoD for quick fast paced games. In BF I like long games. More time to try different kits, weapons and vehicles in a game. And more jet time which is always awesome.

Switched from flares to ECM jammer in the jet now. Still need to get used to it a bit, but it helps so much against people that rely completely on their Air Radar and only want to circle jerk which I mmost of the time lost because of my impatience. Kharg island feels like a completely different map now in the jet with the lightpoles not killing me and the AA guns moved. I think it's much better now.

Only had one game on the ''new'' Wake Island, but we were getting our asses kicked so I couldn't really test it. Did have some strange graphical glitches on it with the ground becoming bright green and purple if I went from the Airfield to the beach.

They nerfed the hell out of the main cannon of the jet. It can be quite frustrating since even after you've disabled them you still need some good hits to kill them resulting in more bailing by the enemy. It is easier to disable tanks now with the rocket pods, but because of the weaker main cannon it isn't easier to destroy them. I do need to unlock Below Radar or ECM jammer for the attack chopper since two people with stingers can be deadly. Also killed someone in a tank with the new nerfed repair torch which always gives me a good mood

Really? I found decorated to be extremely easy and i dot even see how its possible to not get it by lv 45 if you play all the different modes. Even the mcom ones ect can be done in one or two games if you go for them. Thats justd my opinion anyway and air warfare was easy for me because my friends a pro pilot. Hes got over 20 air warfare ribbons :0

I got my Suppression Medal last night!

Which is kind of a shame now that they've made it easier, as it won't be as rare any more

I was farming that for ages too D: Ahh well... Now I have the tags at least

You mean medals right? Because 20 air warfare ribbons really isn't that impressive lol

Only played about 3 hours last night and here are my first impressions:

- I don't mind the new gun recoil. It now takes much more skill to kill someone and burst fire is absolutely the way to go. If you want to hold down fire on a fully auto gun with no recoil, play COD.

- The suppressor is worthless. Takes a whole clip to kill someone.

- The new suppression is OK. Seems like DICE swung the pendulum too far. Maybe about half way between where it was and where it is would be best. I felt like I was playing in a fog most of the time.

- If you start getting shot but are unsure of where from, or they are directly behind you and you don't have time to turn around... RUN! With the new recoil, hardly anyone can hit anything because everyone wants to have a fully auto gun with no recoil. I got away over 50% of the time.

- Heli's seems to handle better/more smoothly

- Parachuting is much improved

- Graphics and text on the mini map and HUD are much better

- USAS nerf is awesome. Only got killed by frags a couple times. One encounter I was 5-10m from a guy using it. He fired 5-6 shots (and starting firing before I did) and I won the shootout with my assault rifle. That's good enough for me! I was just suppressed for the most part by frags.

That's about it for 3 hours worth. I voted "Very Positive". Little I would change. I haven't tried tanks yet though as what I've read makes me not want to - even though they are (were) my favorite vehicle to dominate with.

How comes Im getting kicked by the admin sometimes before I even fire my first shoot? This DEFO never happend before

EDIT: Kicked again in a 1500-2000 ticket game (idk) while on 8000 after my team finally got out of their little rape.

This is why I haven't played the game for over a month. I'll boot it up in the next week or two and have a look at the changes, but I think I'll like the changes based on the comments I'm seeing here.

Just noticed that there are new animations when jumping out of helicopters.
