After everyone has updated and experienced the patch it would be interesting to hear your reactions.

Cheers guys.

Some of the weapon tweeks are gonna be awesome, I just hope it's not like other EA patches that break as much as it fixes.

 

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

Yeah it will be interesting. I've felt that the AEK-971 has been a bit too good- there isn't too much recoil for the rate of fire that it has. The patch is supposed to be around 1.6Gb.

Liking the patch for the most part, but not too fond of the C4 change whereby the C4 is not usable after dying and re spawning. I can understand why they've done it, as it can be annoying to get killed by someone you killed moments ago without realizing they threw a bunch of C4 on your tank/ifv/other vehicle. A fair number of C4 kills were gained this way, but I'll just have to be more careful now. I could just start utilizing the "C4 on Jeep" move that more and more people seem to be using now.

That's only happened to me once, and it was very annoying :l

ThatBattlfieldGuy are you a member of a Clan here in Oz? As Im a member of Clan UNITE and my game name is the same as here. might get to see you on the field dude

 

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

Ahh that would be interesting mate, no i'm not in a clan atm, but that may very well change.

Im about to have a couple of rounds now LOL but had to get my regular junkie fix of OC3D goodness!

 

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

I get my fix between spawns- alt tab ftw

Yep it is a rare occurrence for me also, as I'm always moving in a vehicle and looking around constantly. And yup, it is very annoying on the rare occasion it does happen (usually when I'm the gunner though

)

 

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

It's happening...

Nice, I have a 9 hour wait before I can start downloading the patch.

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

Sorry I got confused. I can't download the patch at 7pm U.K time here as it's out tomorrow, lol.

 

[ThatBattlefieldGuy]

No, don't apologise. I wasn't specific enough.

 

[yassarikhan786]

No, don't apologise. I wasn't specific enough.

You did say in the OP that it is released tomorrow, so it was my mistake

Nice one, thank you. Will read that soon. I can't like your post as I've reached the maximum quota, which saddens me because there is so much to like
