Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
All I can tell you from 5 hours straight patch exerience...
- Optics Rifleman with ammo bag destroyed the separation between those 2 Rifleman classes... Noone takes irons-Rifleman anymore.
- Tripflares to Marksman just made him a sniper, could be happy getting shot 8 times by that marksman and then knifed by him, playing on 10th Mountains with a unorganized squad
- Driver in APC or Tank has much less work to do, they go for a coffee when youre holding a position and shooting, as they do only have to drive around and not watch out for enemies and be an important part of the tank crew... Thats very sad-
+ Nice effects, although people get trouble with them...
+ No nade spam!
+ Reworked Irons on all weapons, finally I can shoot with the china qbz which now aint blocking the whole screen.
Summing up:
the 0.6 to 0.7 changes were better, the new patch is a bit disappointing, and I simply cant understand why they changed those really senseless things.
and yes forgot that, mec g3 irons are great, and the handling improved just a bit.Last edited by BurrumBaer; 03-20-2008 at 07:02 AM. Reason: forgot to reply to salvation

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
I don't like the gunner-controlled smoke on tanks, but I see what they're trying to do. They want to distinguish between attacking and falling back. If you have to take 8 seconds to load the smoke you'd better not be in the middle of a firefight, making it a bit worthless and unrealistic. I doubt the smoke grenade launchers in tanks hinder the turret itself and shouldn't keep it from firing.
I do agree that ammo should be removed from scoped riflemen, and definitely remove trip flares from the marksman.

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
The devs are considering adding smoke generators to be used by vehicle drivers.

This means two pieces of C4, two AT mines, two ammo bags, or two field dressings, yes that's right, two field dressings (for kits which only have one field dressing). I could go into further detail, but let's just say that an ammo bag is now only good for a single soldier.

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
They devs had the smoke right for 7.0. Who came up with the idea to change it? Now we have to deal with it for months and months. Oh well.

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
They are talking about adding back in the Driver deployed smoke in addition to giving the gunner their deployed smoke for different tactical reasons.

True. Originally Posted by Charity Case

And for reloading ammo, you now have the jeeps, the transport helicopters, bunkers, firebases and so on. Something will be next to you, except when you are doing a squad solo behind enemy lines.
And in addition, what a pity that they removed the flashbangs... Now you cant perform any specops-style clears and no special tactics are possible... Instead of that people better use a LAT or HAT (ohnoes, now with a rifle) to clear a room now...

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
I think take away ammo on the sighted rifle man, and give it back to AR, cause it's funking with how i want to make squads.
-SL(assualt)
-AR (support)
-RAT(assualt)
-Medic(assualt)
-Marksman (support)
-Grendier (support)
Only problem is no ammo, which would mean my marksman would probably have to go rifleman, but is just a little bit weaker for it.

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
Improvise, adapt, and overcome... your entire squad is almost reliant on requested kits. Anyways, the Ironsight rifleman, is extremely useful in CQB, and Fuzzhead proved that. Did really well on AoM and EJOD with irons. Don't use it if you don't want to. Originally Posted by oldirti

Do you see any flashbangs?? No, instead they brought the whole house down....

Where the hell are the shovels promised to the medics?!
Everytime our team has a bunker/firebase being set up the best thing I can do right now is to toss field dresesings on the floor for the team :/

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
This was probably done for realism, as it makes no sense to have the machine gunner carry extra ammunition and equipment. Originally Posted by BurrumBaer

I dont understand irons, I just fire it unscoped. I can use a m14 that way and so on, works fine. BF2 lacks the depth of field and other effects needed to make iron sights that usefull I think but I'll give it a try sometime anyhow
The ammo thing is much harder now and I actually ran out of ammo on the saw kit the other day, enemies with their backs to me and I couldnt do anything to save myself.
I had allready had got a few kills and actually I took the gun from someone I killed but our squad was fragmented and chaotic
I like that a squad should suffer when they are on the edge and requestable ammo from the RP is no good in that respect
The ammo bag is more like a patch now, it gives out ammo very quickly and is easily used up
If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.

Re: PR patch 0.756 is out
Aaaahhh, remebering an older video, I can tell you ReaperMAC, that this magenta/red/yellow flashes definately come from flashbangs:

Anyway, lets see what comes in the next patch and what others think of the changes that were made.
