Some interesting stuff in there, a few highlights but check out the whole thing:

Gadgets:

-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.

-The MAV can no longer be used as an elevator

-Ammobags resupply bullets more quickly, but explosives resupply more slowly, especially 40mm grenades.

-Slightly reduced the effective blast radius of the RPG, SMAW, and 40mm grenade projectiles against infantry.

-Reduced the total number of RPG and SMAW missiles carried from 5 to 4. Players desiring more rockets will want to use the Explosive spec.

-Slightly increased the heal rate of the Medical Crate

-The M224 Mortar can no longer be deployed in an area that is out of combat for another team like a home base or other protected spawn.

BIPOD:

-Increased the Speed at which a bipod is deployed, allowing the user to obtain the bipod's bonus sooner after the deploy has started and allowing the weapon to be aimed in a far shorter time. The speed has been increased 40-50%, depending on the weapon and animation.

(Dan--cool, I might have to put the bipod back on the 249 and try that after the patch).


USAS-12:

USAS-12: Increased the initial recoil. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The USAS 12 has a higher ROF than other shotguns, this recoil change better balances that advantage and the pellets balance its damage output.

and

-Fixed the Rate of Fire when the USAS and MK3A1 are equipped with FRAG rounds. All other shotguns correctly had a reduced rate of fire with frags, except the USAS and MK3A1.


Vehicles:

-Unguided tank rounds and RPGs will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters.

-Increased the rate of fire and minimum damage of the Coax HMG.

-Increased the damage mounted gunner .50cal HMGs do at long range.

-Increased the damage the MBT's primary weapon does to the front and side armor of other main battle tanks. Primarily this means 1 less shot to the front, and very good hits to the side can result in a 1 hit to disable.


General gameplay fixes:

-Increased the spawn protection time from 1sec to 2sec. The protection will still be immediately canceled as soon as the player moves or shoots.


Again, check out the whole list....lots of stuff!!!! When do we get it though??

This.

Around what time do you normally hop on?

Theres always at least around 5 people on about 8ish East coast.

I'd hop on earlier if I knew some of us would be on earlier in the day.

[TMagic]

What about on Davamand Peak where you got in the tank and instead of hopping in, I hopped ON the tank and laid down and asked you if I was doing it right

I didnt hear you say anything.

So I was sitting there thinking "What the **** is this guy doing? Maybe this is some weird strategy of his." Lol

Re: Battlefield 3

Actually on that note, does anyone know why sometimes the game puts you into a server queue and other times it just says full? It seems random to me and I find it redundant when I can't get in a queue and have to keep clicking "join."

Dice sevrers let you in the queue, EA servers do not

Re: Battlefield 3

I haven't been playing as much lately. When's the patch drop? I like what I'm reading.

Re: Battlefield 3

I don't really want an expansion, as much as I want a few new maps.

I know I've finally stopped complaining about most of the maps, except Damavand (sp?) peak on Conquest, but I would still like a few more maps.

I like Gulf Of Oman, but never seem to get to play it.

I'm not big on Sharqi Peninsula. I think it would be more entertaining with an extra flag to capture on conquest.

Wake Island is fun, but Karkland just doesn't do anything for me..

Re: Battlefield 3

Starting to read the patch notes now...


-Unguided tank rounds and RPGs will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters.(Thank god! Worst thing was to shoot a tank at a chopper, clip it's tail, and just watch it fly away disabled.)

-Laser Guided missiles can now be distracted by Flares. (Damn, it's gonna be hard to take down choppers once again.)

-Flares for Jets and Choppers now reload at 11 seconds again, (They sure love to favor choppers in any battlefield game)
