New patch 1.2 Video!

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

OK, so if the chopper pilot flies too high, beefed up AA missles take him out, if he flies low to avoid them, some guy with an AT...takes him out. If these patch changes are final all they will do is force choppers into some obscure position on the battlefield that doesnt really help the team at all because if they pop out too long their gonna get owned by 15 seconds of heavy MG fire, 1 AT missle, or stingers. Theres no balance in it at all. It's a heavy handed way to deal with choppers being a little over powered. Tanks will own the battlefield and people are gonna start bitching about those, too.

Sorry I don't agree with your characterization. Even with beefed up AA, a chopper will still have flares and will be very capable of taking out an AA position after it can evade the stingers with flares. It's still VERY difficult to land a tank round on a chopper. And you said "some guy with an AT", have you tried taking out a chopper with an AT round? I said it will take 2 rounds, and it's VERY difficult to even land one round. Now keep in mind, it's EXTREMELY EASY to repair a damaged chopper. So how is there no balance to that? I just don't think you're putting that much logic to your criticism.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

I just want to say Thank you to Demize99 to even take the time to read this forum and reply. I feel much better about the patch knowing that dice is listening to us at the least. My biggest fear was that these changes were being made arbitrarily by some sort of Oligarchy, and the community would be cut out of the loop. Even if Dice doesn't agree with our opinions I am grateful that they are taking the time to hear us out. Once again Thank you.

I second that! Thanks for participating on these forums with us!

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

Are you a tester? (The question is not meant to be confrontational, just curious.)

considering that there isnt any finl 1.2 , i wonder what you played ... some leaked first alpha version lol ? Cause making judgement and previsions upon that would be rather ignorant.

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

As far as the choppers are concerned - NICE JOB. Now guys will have to fly them the way they're supposed to be flown and use stealth and concealment.

Yeah too bad we don't get FLIR and capability of taking out ground troops from a kilometer or so. Like it's supposed to work.

wouldnt assuming you know what version i played be rather ignorant in the first place? I thought I was giving some info into what my take on the patch was. Trying to give those who havent played the patch some info about what ive seen so far. so until you can physically come see what version I have dont assume anything and be rude about it.
thanks for comming out

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

It shows a spec-op unloading a clip intoa UAV and getting it to smoke. Another few bullets destroys the UAV.

One tank shot to kill a heli.

2 AT rockets to kill a heli.

That rocks. Watch out Helicopter pilots. I'm watching you :)

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

I don't think anyone should be screaming for them to "release the patch already". I for one am willing to be patient and let them test, retest then test some more (hopefully with testers from the community) before they release it. Remember once they release this patch there is no guarentee they will release anymore especially with all the booster packs and expansions they are releasing.

As a pretty good gunner in a helicopter I'm glad the heli is getting nerfed a bit. In the hands of a good pilot and gunner it is nearly impossible to take one down and I can go 40 and 1 k/d ratio (usually after someone rams us out of frustration).

The Jets definitely need retooling. Good pilots can go rounds without ever dying. If it were a hard thing to do I would tip my hat to them but sadly the only thing that can take out a Jet is another Jet...however you jet pilots know how difficult it is to get an enemy pilot to fly straight long enough to get guns or a usable lock on him...then you just give up.

n00b t00bing (both AT and m203) won't stop they will just have to take a couple steps back as all. Same with c4 whoring and I doubt there is a reasonable fix out there.

I like the shootable UAV. It could add to strategy of keeping a couple squad members on the lookout for it. Besides the commander can still spot enemies from his god interface.

All in all good work guys this is still one of the best games out there. :rock:

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

I like what I see.

I am a big fan of piloting the helicopter, and I am a big fan of taking them down. I found that more often then none, the chopper could finish and run, being stupid in his tactic, yet still come out alive. This will obviously change.

I think they should have left the hellfires and rockets untouched, but I will manage. Half the time I end up launching the leftovers for a full load.

As for the UAV being rendered and being shot easily, it should be. Hell, the thing hardly made a large impact when it hit the Pentagon on 9/11.

I still have yet to see any details/information on the aircraft dominance, I figure only time and the release of the patch will tell.

As for the C4 not being nerfed, oh well, I guess we can't have it all. I normally chase after the guys that toss it like that, hell, they seem to launch even higher than they do now.


The GL aren't "nerfed" per-se, they are more-so preventing idiots from launching them at their feet and surviving; I'd be a hypocrit to say I've never tried it, I don't think it's right nor plausible, but it was fun, and got me kills. I'm glad they ricochet like that now.

I'm glad the tank's .50cal mounted gun will finally make an impact.

Oh, and to those complaining about the helicopters being too easy to shoot down, consider this:

- Don't sit in front of a tank's shell shot. You deserved to die if you get shot down by one. In reality, your helicopter would ultimately lose control, rip apart and kill you and your partner instantly.

- 2 AT rockets can finally damage the heli more than it could before. Once again, if you are stupid enough to get hit by one, let alone two, you deserve to go down.


I'm happy about what I've seen so far. I'm also content with how everything runs now, so they can delay it longer for all I care.

PEACE

im sorry i didnt realize i had to prove anything to you, i came in here to give my opinion and here you are questioning the validity of my opinion of the new patch ive played. Let me guess you want a video or ss's or some crap right?

i dont and never did ask you for proof of anything. all i say is that your "statements" about the patch are taken out of no where. Im also 99.99% sure confident that you arent a tester or whatever , because you would violate the NDA rules of the beta. So you have MAYBE some version of the beta or alpha , and act like its the only one and final anyway. SO stop bragging around with it and get over it.

add : for all we know , you could have played a mod lol , or the video was a modded version. Ever thought about that ?

I think he is jealous. He wants you dude, like..really wants you.

Consider it flattery.

You obviously did. What if he wasn't even human, more-so a sentient AI bot made to post on forums with falsified information. Maybe it's a step into deciding who will join it/him in his quest to distant galaxies, and because of your revolutionary replies, it will bring you along. You are freaking amazing!

Re: New patch 1.2 Video!

Again, this was an ALPHA playtest. It was done to see the effect of current tweaks. Most of the items in this video have already been changed in later (nonpublic) revisions of the 1.2 patch. Its not done, until it is everything is subject to change.

Are you based in the European or Canadian site? Just curious.
