"Weapon tweaks." They better fix all the sh!t they f***ed up with the last patch. I want weapon balance, not this nonsense.

All I wanted is my knife to work again.

Rest of the stuff is nice also, will be nice to be able to idle in the servers to get them running, Now if only they will let me open 5 instances of the game.

Thank heavens for that. Now just make revives equal -1 deaths and we are sorted. Oh... and the back to front tail rotor control for joysticks.

Re: Client R8 / Server R12 are in QA

weapon tweaks revealed to be

Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range.
The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming.
The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming.
The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.
Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs.
Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.
Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range.
Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots.

40mm shotgun change back thank god, as well as the G3 being useful again, can't say I was too bothered about the AN94 either way

but fml no ****ing M16 reversion and nothing to make the sniper rifles a bit more unique

My G3 is COMING HOME!!!!!!! ....... with IMPROVED SETTLING TIME!!!!


Dream come true

Shame about the M16 though, although it does make you wonder, with all of the weapon balances they are essentially tweaking back, who on earth thought of the idea to tweak them in the first place? I mean seriously, the AN94 far from needed a damage BUFF!?

Stats are a form of meta game for many, so if DICE awarded you -1 life for being revived it would throw off the stats of anyone revived by a medic.

Modified is for all the changes they are allowing with spawns, IO, and filters and all that, not modded. Now DICE is making the same mistake Treyarch did where you can change a bunch of things and never know what you are getting until you join the server. W@W was a fun game and very well done, but it was hard finding "normal" servers because of all the options.

Not that options are bad, but sometimes it can be too much.

Crunch

Yes like when I want to play hardcore mode with the reduced health/increased bullet damage only to find out that the server was listed hardcore only because there were no kill-cams.

No it won't be out today. As I said, we found crashes last night which are being worked on today.

Re: Client R8 / Server R12 are in QA

I have been following EA's forums and still have not seen any information on this patch. Anyone else got a feed on this?

As for the status of the patch, I have to have a meeting with my boss about it but it won't be this week.

I thought the inclusion of the autoupdate utility was supposed to make it possible to release smaller patches more frequently? Instead they're back to the old DICE MO, releasing huge patches that break things and refusing to fix them for over a month now.

There are some rumors that this patch is going to have new maps. Just a rumor though.
