BC2 has been my all time favorite of the series.

mortar'ing points ways gay, and so was the carl gustav, but everything else was a lot of fun.

I agree that BC2 found that particular sweet spot in my heart. Still required strategy (more importantly teamwork) but with a hell of a lot less walking.

I liked the bf2ness a lot. Then the jet whores ruined it a lot. Not a fan of doing nothing but trying to hide from jets all fucking day.

BC2...yes, very happy with. It did need hand-carried stingers though.

BC2 didnt have jeep drops

Sorry happy, yeah...i completely misread the previous posts. I blame drink/tired; therefore I edited.

this video reminded me of when hogg had to resort to ramming the pro enemy jets on oman:

explains a lot about ECM. coincides with what i've seen personally.

also he says, "blow it early" at one point.

that actually makes me want to equip it again in my chopperness....

MOAR SECRETS:

certain lighter guns let you move faster while scoped. Some additionally have no accuracy penalty for moving while scoped.

Video shows the effect. And this reddit comment has a chart with all the guns on it. (the video just shows the effect, not the research.)



sabs should do a compilation post on bftips of good tips found elsewhere, since he's pretty lazy about doing his own research.

I thought this was obvious...

There are obviously different run sppeds while scoped on differnt guns.

While there are a few outlier guns that I didn't know about, I too thought this was obvious. If it's a small gun (pistol, pdw, shotgun) you can move faster and shoot more accurately while scoped/using sights. The outliers (F2000, KH2002, etc) make this more interesting to read and watch, though. I don't think this would make me change to using those particular guns, though, because I personally don't scope on the move with anything but pdw's or shotguns. I find that I kill 90% of enemies while 1) sitting still, scoped/using sights or 2) on the move, not scoped. The speed, stopping power, and accuracy in those two modes are how I choose a gun.

symthic.com has had a lot of cool stuff in the past in regard to weapon accuracy. But again, while it's interesting to look at it doesn't change my weapon selection. I base that on trying each gun out for a while to get a feel for all types of situations.

I'll admit I've been lazy with researching for the website. It's a lot more fun to play with you guys than go to an empty server and test something out. I've considered linking to other interesting stuff, as I read about plenty on reddit and on various forums. For the time being since I'm not spending a lot of my time on the site I'm sticking to creating my own content.

Got all of us permi-banned from the LoD (Leigon of Doom) servers tonight. Aparently their admins didnt like the fact that all the [crpy] guys were stacking to one team so they banned Agent_137. Then the rest of us ridiculed them until they banned all of us. Here's the couple of screen caps I got...

paraphrasing because I dont remember the real quote

Testosteradmin: Its sad that so many moms let their 12 year olds buy BF3
Posi: Its sad that you mom sucks so much 12 year old dick

fixt

The hoggrott is strong with this one.

Aparently Posi, Agent, a random, and myself pulling Ace Squad and having positive K:D ratios amounted to "a suspiciously high K:D" and we all needed to be banned for it. Love shitty servers (it was the one highlighted).

yay release notes for the next patch!

too many to list. notables:

horns on jeeps

no more spawnandimmediately die
-Reduced the black screen fade in time on spawn. The fade is still necessary for properly streaming in loading content at spawn, but it has been substantially reduced.
-Increased the spawn protection time from 1sec to 2sec. The protection will still be immediately canceled as soon as the player moves or shoots.
-Spawn protection will no longer be canceled by the player looking around.

various other fixes to make gameplay faster/better
-suppression more effective
-parachutes more agile
-switching primary to sidearm is faster
-getting up from prone faster
-bipod easier to place
-many more great tweaks.

lots of vehicle nerfs
-repair tool is slower
-armor is weaker
-flying craft insta-die from ungided tank rounds/rpgs
-locking a target no longer jumps around
-javelins hit harder
-stingers useful now
-flares distract laser guided missiles but no longer break locks.
-chopper guns do more damage to armor

vehicle bug fixes
-below the radar works against Stinger/igla
-jeeps have horns
-havoc no longer a flying bathtub

lots of weapon balancing
-extended mags for the ass val!!
-sks is going to kill you a lot now
-lots of nerfs from various angles to eliminate usas-12 frag round gayness
-rex and 44 mag do more damage at range (it was pretty low before. like 15).
-Bolt action sniper rounds now have a chance to kill at close range if the player is hit in the upper chest.
-various recoil and accuracy tweaks to practically every gun to improve balance and individuality.

lots of weapon accessories balancing and fixing to suit different playstyles and situations
-flash suppressor now is recoil compensator.

gadget fixes and much elimination of faggotry
-gadgets like soflam, eod bot, etc are easier to deploy.
-Players may now use their knife to destroy enemy equipment.
-Ammobags now stay until the user redeploys them like Medkits.
-Ammobags resupply bullets more quickly, but explosives resupply more slowly, especially 40mm grenades.
-The M224 Mortar can no longer be deployed in an area that is out of combat for another team like a home base or other protected spawn.
-The MAV will now be destroyed when running into a soldier or vehicle at high speed. It is still possible to strategically sacrifice your MAV on a soldier; it will be destroyed in the process.
-The MAV can no longer be used as an elevator.
-C4 will no longer be detonable after a player respawns, if the player is revived within 5 seconds he can still detonate his C4.


unimportant deathmatch tweaks
-Spawn area fixes and tweaks to map size and location. (wtf, no fixes to not being able to spawn on your squad?)


p.s.
sabs, you should post this to your blog. or give me editor access. it's a good short version of what changes are coming. credit me with a link to my personal site. it took me about an hour to put this together.

Plenty of good stuff here. Lots of people are bitching about how long it takes for these patches to come out. Given the number of changes they're making, 3 platforms, and DLC they're no doubt working on, I'm pretty happy with how they're keeping up with it. No monthly fee, after all.

And Agent - can do. It's a long list and a summary would be helpful for those who don't want to spend 15 minutes reading about an upcoming patch. What's your personal blog? Mind if I edit and make additions after I read through the changelog again?
