Re: Lovin 1.2! Yeah, I said it. So there.

I had a blast last night with the new patch! I never picked up bad bunny-hopping or C4-chucking habits in the past, and havent relied on the M203/F2000GL to fight my way through an infantry battle ... I noticed that my round results have gone through the roof. I earned four veteran badges and two ribbons that had been eluding me in just one sitting - including my 7 kill knife badge.

The knife badge was pretty easy to get because now that CQB is more intense, people get even *more* hyper when they see you charging at them. I guess out of habit, or whatever, but a lot of guys still bounce about like jackrabbits, but then they cant shoot anymore... so as soon as I saw them start doing that - I'd whip out the ol' steel blade and *stab*. So... anybody trying to earn your knife badges, get to it quick before everyone breaks their old bunny hopping habits! LOL (Oh, I dove over a sandbag on a guy but it seemed like I couldnt stab while in the air either ... can anybody confirm this is nerfed too?)

i love it, i dont know if you have realized but they have fixed the accuracy, there is no more random spread, felt like a whole new game, every damn bullet hit where i shot! So damn wonderful, did you notice this too?

Maybe that's what I was noticing with the SCAR-L. There was SOME devitation, especially at long range, but yah, generally where I put the red dot, the bullets went. This always annoyed the hell out of me in BF2. I would be dead sight on the target, squeeze off three rounds (semi-auto), and every round would deviate by 8 feet...wtf? I could sort of understand if I was in auto or burst mode, but we are talking single shots lined up with a laser scope deviating by 8 feet. It just didn't seem right.

The cool thing is, infantry are now much more deadly to each other now. As Spec Ops, I am almost like a mini-sniper, which is good. That's what I should be to an extent. I don't wear armor and am not setup for assault. I am setup to sneak behind enemy lines, take out targets of opportunity, and do a little mid-range sniping. I am really enjoying this patch as Spec Ops.

Spawning the bigger problem of walking through areas in Karkand, seeing a little mine so small I could knock it over with a pistol shot, and NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT while their team runs right over it.

I seriously hope they make grenades able to kill those things again some time in the future.

Game seemed to run much better imo too.

Oh yeah, totally forgot ta mention that.
I play on a rig with very limited resources. I've definatly noticed a big preformance increase... especially in SF. No more graphics lag due to looking at a new building. Woot!
