Definitive bugs, but I like 1.2
So, I just got done playing approx. 2 hrs of 1.2, and I have to admit that I like it.
I can still do quite alot of damage in the helicopter, as I predicted. The gunner is the most important crewman, and at least they only nerfed the TV guided distance. Everything else seems legit.
I never got a chance to fly the jets, but the good pilots are here to stay...once again, as predicted. I seen one J-10 guy get approx. 30-2 in a 32 player server. The only thing that was different, are the AA actually work. LOL
So, all in all, most of it is good. I noticed the PKM got a HUGE deadly overhaul. I watched a guy take care of an entire squad spawning with it, amazing.
I have noticed some bugs however, and I can confirm with other threads regarding it:
- The sound issue is quite bothersome. It doesn't happen all the time, but you cannot hear the weapons shooting at you, even if they are 2 feet behind you. I run an onboard 7.1 digital sounds, A8N-E motherboard.
- The red name tag bug is still there. I only played a 32man server. My buddy kept "TKing" yet I could see him as an enemy without getting a TK (in chopper, I would get a kill assist, he'd get a TK)
- The attack chopper's armor is definitely less, but it can still be a rush avoiding fire and killing the opponent. I must say however, it is a lot more challenging, and I notce the helicopter is practically ALWAYS there.
- The AA is amazingly accurate. So accurate that I see the missiles either fly by me or head into me sideways! lol
- I like the UAV. I shoot it down alot. I have noticed a glitch however that when you run through it, some weird lag issue happens. Anyone?
- The tanks do seem a little tougher. It took about 6 straight missile shots, I used to be able to do it with about 4. Not a problem however.
- I noticed a weird bug in my last game on Dalian Oil Fields: From the USMC side, I could see a "distance" marker ahead of me at all times, red, in the direction of the central point. It creeps down to 0meters but it is nothing but grass and trees. It seems to be underground, I will see if the screenshot worked and paste it in a reply message.
- There is still bunny hopping, but I like that they can't shoot.
- I noticed a distance increase from the grenades, like wow! :) Made it from Chinese attack helo on Dalian to their AA site! :)
- I haven't unlocked the guns yet, I figure it's just a matter of time. I did however pick both guns up and loved them both. Really cool to have new weapons.
- They fixed the Havoc's TV guided issue (not turning) which is nice as well
All in all, I really enjoyed myself tonight. It wasn't as bad as most expected, and to the morons that were thinking "oh man, no more chopper/jet whores"...well, if you still haven't adapted, you won't have a chance...unless you use the AA, which is feasible but does not win games! :) I mean, the choppers never were an issue (for me) when it came to AA. At times it skimmed by them, but I am patient and would get them eventually.
I didn't get much chance to play with too many guns, but I did try the G3 and thought it was actually worse then it used to be. I still can't hit **** with the sniper rifles, but that's to be expected when you like doing more than sniping! :)
I like that the tank doesn't hurt on small hill drops (M1A12)
I don't like that you can't throw medic packs, but I normally used to do it for the hell of it, kind of fun seeing how far you can toss it!! :)
I'm happy with the results, I just hope something is done quickly about the sound issue, as it can be very bothersome when you have an enemy beside you and you can't hear any shots, you only see your health bar go down.
Once again, good times. I'm glad I was right about the choppers and jets though; if you were a good pilot, you will not have a problem. It's definitely something to adjust to, but the ones complaining before will still complain.
So in light of my last statement, I would recommend the fixes I previously mentioned (red name, sound, etc) and would like to thank the UK guys that helped prove my point. If there's one thing I would ask from DICE, add a little more armor to the helicopters, they are as weak as the jeeps from what I gather. It's more of a "balance" issue!!!!! LOL
PEACE all
