off topic but I was using the stinger and shot the heli twice in front of me and the heli didn't blow up, in the last patch they did.

Normally I'm pretty average while in a tank, but last night I racked up well over 100+ points in armor. Tanks are now the new plane considering they got spanked.

A commander who wastes an arty strike to blow up a mine or two is about as useful as those commmanders who waste an arty strike on one or two infantry. It's useless and doesn't help your team in any way.

I don't know what they did with C4 becuase I didn't play spec ops last night. . . however, with med packs (which were thrown similarly to C4) they increased the throw velocity. . .as they also did with grenades. So I imagine they increased the velocity of the C4 packs as well.

With med packs you can't jump and throw, however, if you aim up a bit you can throw just as far. . . I bet it works the same with c4.

As for my view of the patch. . . .2 thumbs way up. I hadn't played until last night. I had to reinstall BF2 because something I did during the patch broke my BF2.

But my god, it feels so much better. Maybe I am biased because I didn't use those cheap tactics before or the imbalances, even when they favored me, didn't feel quite right to me. . . but man I loved playing last night.

First, I saw about 3 bunny hoppers, wasted them all. The prone speed and delay so you can't go up and down real fast just felt more real.

Normally when I would come up against someone with the G3 and I had the G36C/E (the medic one, i don't remember which letter it is) I would waste them. However, last night, CQC I was owned by the G3. Made sense IMO, I might start using it more often myself.

AA is great. I managed to get a lock on an enemy plane, he dropped flares and RAN FOR HIS LIFE!!! It was great. I loved seeing a plane actually fearing AA. However, the lock distance was SOOOOO short that he, by running from AA, was easily able to get away from my attack.

I used the AA three times and twice it went how I described above. The third time the plane didn't flee and I shot it down. The pilot then complained about the AA. I laughed because he was an idiot.

I don't know about A2A combat as I don't fly. So I can't really comment on that.

I really don't get what all the bitching was about. I got killed way more by snipers than I normally do. . . however, I saw about 2 times as many snipers running around as I normally do. I got gunned down a couple times by the support class. . . however, when I called for ammo I saw 5 ammo things on the map as opposed to one or zero as I normally do. I was still EASY able to own the support class from a distance with any of the medic guns.

The game feels better. It makes more sense. All the changes they made were right on. I was a bit skeptical about how effective they would be or if they had implemented it correctly but I think they did a superb job.

I have never said this nor did I ever expect to say it, but thanks EA and Dice :)

<= 107 is now considered WELL over 100 points? Me thinks you aren't being completely honest.

But even so. . . there were a lot of peoply playing sniper and support last night. . . which are useless against tanks. Once people realize that everyone is overreacting about how good the support and sniper guns now are they will move back to playing spec ops and the tanks will have to be scared again.

I played about 10 rounds last night on karkand/sharqui/wake/mashtur(sp?) and not a SINGLE round was won by a tank whore. In fact, the two games on wake I played were both won by pilots, I won one (as a medic/needed class) on sharqui and karkand. I really don't think tanks are that overpowered now.
