-The MAV will now be destroyed when running into a soldier or vehicle at high speed. It is still possible to strategically sacrifice your MAV on a soldier; it will be destroyed in the process.

=D

-The MAV can no longer be used as an elevator.

=(


And I dont feel like they fixed the USAS Frag rounds much ...

Ive seen less USAS.
LMGs Have little to no recoil.
Other then that I like it.

My opinion on this patch.

BLURRYFIELD 3!

Holy crap the suppression is insane now. I had someone shoot a M9 at the ground in front of me and I went full on suppressed. Kind of sad that the AEK is bit harder to handle now, but I'll manage.

For the most part I am liking this patch. Just the suppression is too much sometimes.

The AEK is easy to use. I use it as my main weapon all the time. But it might just be me.
The LMGS are insane and the supperesion could be turned down.

Eh my only thing with the AEK is that the recoil was increased up and right. It's still easy to use, just had to readjust to the new recoil. I was able to get back in the groove after about 10 minutes or so. On the LMG thing, I've noticed they are bit more potent and more people are using them (finally ammo packs on almost every server!) It also leads to some interesting moments. Like the guy from earlier who ran down death alley on Grand Bazaar and picked up a 14 man feed using the M240B.

That I do. I can't imagine BF without 64 man servers. You folks are welcome to add me on BattleLog and/or Origin if you happen to play PC as well. Just don't think too hard on what my username is. :P

Nah, this last patch made it so all platforms perform the same way. Your AEK is the same as mine now. Before it wasn't. Noteable was the FAMAS. In the PS3/X360 it had a 25 shot mag. PC had a 30 shot mag. Now all 3 have 25 shot.

This was an interesting update...
Except that it took me an hour because I had to download two updates, or was that everyone?
And suppression, let's see what's done about it, if anything.

From what I've seen nearly everyone hates the patch haha

I didn't really notice much of anything when I was playing the other day.

I downloaded a super long update then I was excited cause I was going to play finally then another update pops up that gives me an option to download now or later and so I said and I was like cool I can let this complete later while I play for a while. I try it and I can't play until the damn 1gb update is downloaded -_- I turned off my xbox and went to bed, havent played it yet.

I've been playing a lot of Battlefield recently, but I guess not recently enough fr this update. I read about the changes, and I think I agree with most of them, but I was wondering: how is the vehicle combat now?

Blurryfield describes this update perfectly.

Other than that, it seems fine.

Vehicle combat is pretty much the same, but you won't feel as invincible in a tank. Repairing is slower and a Javelin shot can disable you in 1 hit. The reload for the Javelin has been adjusted as well.

I really dislike the nerfing of the main guns for the aircraft. It takes practically forever to shoot down another jet. I used to be able to roll with just the main cannons and missile pods and be set for destroying jets AND helicopters. Now everyone is using the AA Missiles and my style of play is over. :(
