I'm a little irked by the change they made to the bolt action sniper's minimum damage range though. It kind of throws out the little bit of uniqueness that they had between them.
Oh well. All things considered, the SV-98 got a range buff

Tried every concievable combo of vehicle and specialization, including getting a pubbie to trace and lock onto me. Nothing. No flares at all. If someone can figure out how to do this shit, post it here.
I wonder what the chances of attackers winning on Isla Innocentas is now?
Since with the tracer dart buff, Blackhawks are going to be shot down in a matter of seconds.
Nope, since VSmoke gives you flares the Blackhawk is still A OK.
The annoying bit though is for the attack Helos, since with the flare buff you're insane to not take the VSmoke as a pilot (and in general, really), making the VAlt Weapons pretty much useless unless it's a pubstomp.

Looks like this game just went up the tactical meter by about eleven notches. This is pretty awesome.
How the hell do I use the xbox360 PA Metatag that I always see mentioned?
My tag is Damoven for anyone who wants a game or 2
You need to send a friend request first, then once it is accepted (which it may not be - I'm not sure who actually manages it) you can go to the gamercard for the metatag, and see which people on its friends list are actively playing.

The r7 changes are near the bottom. The chart is updated. If you want to see the old chart just use google's cache.
So If I'm reading that right, sniper rifles are now even worse at killing people at long ranges than before vis a vi LMGs & ARs?, and no more 1 shot kills out to 40 yards with the m95?
Okay, so flares work, that's cool, and you can see it, per that video. Only one problem remains.
It takes 20 seconds to reload the smoke package.
It takes 3 seconds to reload a tracer dart.

I am going to play this so hard when I get home from work. It is another short day so I had better see Rak and the other stoners on there when I get home at around 7:30 estern.
I can't get them to work in a server by myself (VSmoke enabled!), I guess it requires a hostile missile lock before you can fire them?
Also, it's good that the flares don't make you immune, since vehicles are supposed to support the ground troops rather then just indiscriminately rape faces. This just means that you have a fighting chance 1 on 1 with an engineer.
I hit up the Dr. Pepper site and my codes just said they were unlocks for Mass Effect 2. Didn't see anything for Bad Company 2, although Battlefield Heroes was listed.

I actually like Dr. Pepper, so I don't mind buying it, but I'd like my unlocks too!
Well, my first impressions from a short game are as follows.
The M16 has not really been nerfed, it's still just as deadly with magnum ammo.
The Abakan is a bit better, but it's barely noticeable.
The T88 LMG is no longer useless, it's actually like a PKM with 200 rounds in the belt instead of 100. It's looking like this might be my new LMG of choice, though I've yet to try the MG36 or the XM8 LMG.
The sniper "nerf" sounds bad, but really the snipers have not even taken a hit to effectiveness (provided you always aim for the head as you should)
All the bolt actions are pretty much identical now aside from feel and sights.
Finallyyyy, a patch! Looks good all around. The changes to medics were needed something fierce! Curious as to how much this affects the CG, although from the looks of the stats, not too much...basically they toned down the biggest issue.
Masume on

Please bear in mind that DICE has an established history of not actually changing things in the game, even when they said they made a change. It would not surprise me in the least if there are some red herrings in that list of weapon tweaks.
Perception is reality I suppose...
I'm most excited about 3 motion balls + faster re-stocking from ammo crates. So good.
All of the pistols, at least THEORYCRAFYINGLY SPEAKING, appear to be balanced. Even the M93r.
Goomba on

I wonder why the felt the need to nerf V-Reload. I never felt it was that powerful to begin with, especially for ground vehicles. I guess maybe with the attack chopper gunner position it was a bit strong, but choppers are all but screwed now with the much faster tracer dart so

Tried it. Didn't work. I tried V Smoke and V alt on everything. I even tried Armour.
Four times as fast. Literally.
Also, the Uzi is better than the PP 2000 due to the minimal recoil. Shit is awesome.
4x speed buff apparently.
Goomba just has to promise not to yell at me when I use it.
It's ok, there are plenty of other things we can kill you with :}

I love the Type 88 with the 4x scope. Jumping in the fray, dropping danger close mortar strikes > *

edit: Also hahah dang SV98 is now best sniper rifle even harder.

Steam updated it painlessly for me

Wii U - 'Nocero'
XBox ID - therealmasume
PS4 ID - realmasume
Which is like 3.7 to 2.9 explosivemk2 radius.
20 comes from 100 - 80, since 20% of 80 is 20, which is 100, which is a kill.
So I guess it's more like 3m because it's actually 1.8 and not 1.7, but still.
edit: STILL EXPLAININ' IT
The CG still looks meaty, simply no more mass killings from the radius. Granted, your behind a wall and your still screwed.

360/PS3 patches are still in the pipe
Steam said 349MB (and some change)
So the update was simply for the store, then. Huh. Oh well.
