Re: Change log - beta to release

I'm really glad they got rid of the delay on the scope.

Decreased air support damage is good.

EMP stick as unlock 2 is good.

Lowered points for EMP upgrades is good.

Increased air support timers is good.


I'm really stoked about getting this! All these sound like solid fixes.

Re: Change log - beta to release

There where times where I had perfect line of site and I couldn't hit the enemy, as if there were something in front of them that was invisible, but the "collision" fix sounds like it is addressing visible objects that bullets can shoot through.

There should be an ability to control the zoom on the mini map. It automatically zoomed to some arbitrary distance. I had to use the large map.

This is an abridged change log. There will be many more changes then what's stated. I think they just put it out to quiet some of the squawking.

I could change the zoom on the mini-map using 'N' just like in the BF series...

Looks like good and needed changes. I really like playing the EMP Tech roll so this info sits well with me.

I have to a agree, these all sound like solid fixes. I'm really happy to see the air support pulled downed some. Air support was really powerful in the beta. Hoping the VOIP patch gets here soon.

Re: Change log - beta to release

Am I the only one that noticed, the increased grenade launcher damage and no adjustment to distance? The Xbox version has some of the changes, notable the EMP and reduced points needed. Works great.
