So if i shoot at my foot on accident, im going to be stumbling around like a blind drunk?

**Belhade** · 03-16-2008, 11:59 PM

Yes...and you'll also have a bad case of the blurrys.

**Pistolfied** · 03-17-2008, 12:35 AM

Whats happened with the no optics-rifleman then? He is useless now and I don't see any changes for it. Did the devs forget something? :P

**Belhade** · 03-17-2008, 01:22 AM

Yeah, seems like a pretty pointless kit now.

-All map tickets have been reduced by 100-150 tickets.

Are the supplies on jeeps and APCs small ammo bags or crates?

Maybe Iron Sight Rifleman should get more frags and smoke and throw them faster/further (but still less accurate then before), more assault oriented then optics.

Now I want to play the fixed Insurgency mode, put it in the maplist.

**salvation** · 03-17-2008, 02:16 AM

what about the G3 ??
are they good?

**kilroy0097** · 03-17-2008, 03:46 AM

I like some of the changes on the list though I have to say that there are couple of things I dread until I experience them. And to echo the commentary, the poor iron sight rifleman is going to be rare and ignored.

**Redd_Wiggler** · 03-17-2008, 05:59 AM

i will miss the ammo bag on the SAW kit...otherwise I CANT WAIT TO PLAY!

a huey gun-ship would be hella cool!

The suppression effect is great. Now covering fire may actually become a useful tactic. The enemy will keep they're head down or run away rather than just firing back whilst you give away your position.
Being able to take down little bird with the AA kit is a great help on Kwai river.

**kilroy0097** · 03-17-2008, 08:10 AM

I do enjoy the new suppression effect. The closing in of darkness kind of like a black out when pulling too many G's is kind of neat. If your initial aim is true however you can still take down your target. You just can't expect to do it after the effect takes place. Also when you die it's kind of cool that you can still hear everything but you can't see anything. Does make giving away enemy positions when you are dead much harder. So in a sense stay observant before getting killed just in case. I also noticed that the Shotgun for the Engy does not have a reticle when you zoom in like before so you just have to know where the center of your screen is. The building assets with two supply boxes and the additional ammo from light vehicles is excellent. The CO being able to destroy assets is also a great bonus. Remember Engy Mines are number 9 now and are not gone.

Have not been able to try the USMC Sniper/Marksman kits yet. Nor have I been able to test out the Ammo bag differences between the Optical Rifleman and the Iron Sight Rifleman. I speculate that the ammo back for the Optical Rifleman is nerfed and limited in the amount of ammo it can give while the Iron sight Rifleman gives much more ammo. Need to test that theory.

So far it's a pretty good patch. Were there any new maps in this patch?

thats what bf vietnam was all about, the marines do still use the huey though its more as a command and control center via the air, i believe m60's are still in place on the sides, but you won't see it as a gunship, those are what the cobras are for.

I actually still like the rifleman kit with out the scope....use can use it and i think its a good kit especially when you split up the saw gunner and the scoped riflelman kit and or the lat kit and the rifleman non scoped etc.

That way not every person enemy who gets your kit will have a scope. you can twist it around a bit and then the enemy won't be like "ahh i see an ammo bag and a dead guy, i'm def going to have a scoped rifle kit, ill trade mine for this etc" and voila, no scope....

plus the non-coped kit is still good for CQB, the three shot burst packs a nice punch or the auto burst in the mec kit, when turning a corner and "bam." one down and still got ammo to go.

I am enjoying the new patch, and i enjoy the 16 player size esque maps so far even though i only played kashan.....its great, i hope all the 16 player sized maps are the same regular size, it is a lot of fun!! And I cannot wait for EJOD, with no tanks, now that is going to be tons of fun, and yes there will be complainers saying "we want tanks, where are the tanks? wahh wahh wahhh" but then again, those are most likely the guys who either just want to gun, or be a sniper.

Guys get your boots laced up, and your weapons cocked and locked and ready to rock cuz its going to be a bumpy bullet riddled ride!!!!
