Latest patch update....

the very same...

EA should hire some of US to do their bloody testing...

Yeah, there's a difference in us and the testers they have now apparently. We'd actually speak up and tell them darned well what's wrong, and even offer suggestions on how to fix it without causing 30 repercussions throughout the rest of the game. Of course, there's always the chance the testers ARE doing their job, and things happen the way they are with the helicopter missiles being reduced to 8; because "someone at EA said so", with no good reason to do it. =/

Re: Latest patch update....

about the missiles, not too bothered anyway, just that i cant take out 2-3 tanks on one run anymore... fine for sf when each missile has the damage of a c4 and a little less blass radius

just to play devils advocate for a min, i thought id give you my take on the patch tester situation... ppl from the community do test the patch, but its usually given to groups like mod teams & the like, the problem is that most of those ppl like to be able to play on ranked servers & therefore dont bother installing the patch & dont end up giving any feedback (i knew a few testers for the 1.03 patch)

id also like to dispel the EA thing that everyone seems stuck on here... for the record EA did not make the game, dice did... EA published it & are responsible for pushing it out the door in that state that it was in, pressure from EA also rushes the patches & their testing phases, but ultimately dice is the one responsible for the content of the game

(now im sure most of you know that, but i have to at least mention it since ppl seem to blame dice for EA's stupidity & vice versa)

My god! I can't believe they've stopped you throwing C4 from the chopper!

I dread to think what else has changed.

Re: Latest patch update....

Well, it was kinda silly having a support guy in the chopper allowing an engie to continously drop mines or a spec ops continuously drop and detonate C4...

Transport choppers should be used for TRANSPORT!!!!!

If everything was used as it was designed for, it would be quite boring.

Re: Latest patch update....

Assuming that they've banned throwing C4 out of the chopper, then I guess this goes for grenades too. But what about med-packs and ammo-packs? Mines? Yes when abused it would get very silly, but tbh I haven't seen this kind of thing happen very often.

You have got just as much chance killing friendlies with your spammed C4/mines, aswell as healing or resupplying enemies with your spammed ammo/med-packs. It isn't a full proof tactic.

Just stop resupply from support kit in the copter.

Re: Latest patch update....

I think that guy edited the post's name incase of problems cause by leaked
information so they dont know who posted it, thats fair i think?

The last person got told off, hence the vanished post

no it was me, and no I didnt get told off, and didnt get into any trouble,

I just thought it would be better not to post that information yet...

Re: Latest patch update....

Last month they mention the bunny hoppin and the C4 throwing is fixed, the helos have less missles, the helos hitpoints have been dropped. i was hoping to see if other fixes were done! Any info on those?

Re: Latest patch update....

Heh, well being as it's out in the open after all..any other little juicy info you'd like to give us? :p

/me hopes for the melee wrench

Re: Latest patch update....

You guys have misinterpreted the "Won't be able to throw C4" thing.

They have NOT removed being able to throw C4 out of choppers.
They have only removed the ability to throw/shoot any weapon while jumping. So no more of the C4 throw-detonate thing.

When you're in a chopper you are "sitting". You will still be able to shoot and throw things.

IndianScout says you can't throw C4 out of choppers, and he's one of the testers!

Re: Latest patch update....

Presuming that the C4 has been changed.....was this ever an exploit?
I mean, it's possible to do it in real life and I don't ever remember seeing it happening ingame so was there another reason why this was changed?
