You're just angry that you can't exploit the system and get easy kills.
The developers never meant for you to throw C4 and detonate it immediately and now they are fixing it.
Dolphin Diving and bunny Hopping are problems that have been around since BF1942 and 'should' have been fixed it BF2 1.0
BooHoo to you.

My 2 Favorite are right at the end:
# Detonation radius from grenade launcher explosions has been reduced.
# Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum time before arming.

That's exactly the way they should have fixed the problem with the GL's.

I agree with you on the dolphin diving part.
It doesn't make sense for them to take it out since the accuracy of your weapons is ten times better when you're prone, and I've never seen anyone not go prone when taking shots at each other from a distance.

few things

· All mines (Claymore, Anti-vehicle, C4) can now be picked up by the same class that dropped it by using the “G” key.

Awesome! I have been waiting for this.

· Mines can no longer be destroyed with other explosives
ummmm Why not ? If i see a mine and throw a gernade on it , it should exploid

anyway

hearing "Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum time before arming."
Brings tears to my eyes (so happy)

Re: How do you feel about the things to come in the new patch?

I think the changes are fantastic for the most part. No more bunny hoping noob tubers! No more flying super tanks!

Definitely a step in the right direction!

Re: How do you feel about the things to come in the new patch?

Looks like a good patch. Everything's a compromise, and so is this, so those looking for perfection, or all their wishes being fulfilled, will come away less than thrilled.

Bravo EA/Dice for patching things... Maybe next time you'll get around to my pet peeve, which is wishing that there was better damage for the M95. IRL, this is a one-shot killer with any center of mass hit.

I mean, we've all been there... shoot a guy just standing there 70 meters out. See the splash. He's got two bars left, so he runs away, hopping and spinning like a ballerina on crack.

Think of what the game is trying to simulate - a center of mass hit with a fifty. IRL, you've just centered-punched a guy with a 600 grain bullet doing 2,500 fps, carrying close to 10,000 ft/lbs of energy, and guess what happens? He has a neat little hole in front, and a big one in his back the size of a grapefruit. This even with the best ceramic inserts for his kevlar vest out there... especially if you're shooting AP.

Yeah, I know, it's a game, everyone's trying to balance everything out, but that's not even without shouting distance of any simulation of reality. Those EA guys have really gotta get out on the range more often, or talk to some folks returning from iraq. Nobody walks home taking after a center-mass hit from a .50 cal bullet from an M2 or an M82. Nobody.

I would not say that this is a "style of play", they are evasive maneuvers that some have decided to take to an extreme. It's unfortunate that it is looked upon as such a dreaded thing. In my opinion, there are things that needed much greater attention than the items Char-ley_Killa mentioned. I would therefore agree with his general position in that it is more a fix to keep and add more gamers than to do anything else.
Some fixes are great yes, however, instead of adapting to the gameplay, reworking the esential movement functions should have not been done.

And BTW BlueBunny63, read the fix list again, it says :
Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy

Re: How do you feel about the things to come in the new patch?

people who complain about jets r not very good in them, and what is the point of a fighter jet and a bomber
TO DELIVER F*CKING MAYHEM
and I completly agree that the nade launcher was put in the game for a way for assualt to defend against cars and shouldnt be made for infantry but, I dotn agree with changing the jumping and proning stuff, and Its not liek I rely on bunny hoppping or dolphin diving most of the time its just fun to do and also it helps u to throw nades far, which it looks like will end with the patch which is also bullsh*t. and c4 chuckign is the most fun thing in the game, and its only gay to the people who cant do it
