I love using the C4 on UAV tactic...

I have never heard of this tactic. Just looked it up and am pretty impressed. Seems tricky to time the C4 landing on the UAV tho. I probably didn't know about this because I play hardcore. As soon as my friends and I spot a UAV in the air, we shoot it down, which is easier to do in hardcore.

No. You have a squad mate put C4 on your UAV and fly it to the MCOM to explode.

Doh! Good point. The vid I found was showing the guy doing it all solo. Yeah, definitely makes more sense doing it with teammates...

Definitely a lame tactic, but the real fix needed is to make the UAV explode when the C4 is detonated, not merely reduce the amount of damage. How in the world would a UAV survive the detonation of 6 packs (or more) of C4 strapped to it? The thing that really makes this technique lame is that you can do it over and over and over.

And hey DICE, how about fixing the griefer problem? When a guy on your own team can blow up your own stations again and again with C4, racking up a negative score in the thousands, it's a real pisser for everyone else in the game. How about an auto-kick for players that hit a certain negative score level, say, 1,000? Thankfully those pricks are rare, but they're out there and should be dealt with.

I don't even play hardcore mode because of the intentional friendly fire spoilers. It's time to take out the trash. This isn't MW2.

Easy fix would be not being able to put C4 on the UAV!

@Helghast102 PC. When I played on PS3 (launch-July), voice was fine, too. Apparently at some point they made a typo in a config that makes voice not work on PC. It might have actually been this patch, I don't know--I've only had it for PC for a few weeks.

Some are good some are not that good for me.

Good: Lowered the damage of the M60. Finally, one of the most overpowered guns in the game. Reducing damage to MCOM Station, great, now the enemy team players are gonna have to bust their asses in order to blow it.

Bad: Increasing the 1 shot kill range of the M95, snipers are gonna enjoy with this. Increased the close range damage of the shotguns. More damage?? a N2000 can kill you with just a shot and not being too close.

You need to pay more attention. Sniper rifle 1 hit body kills happen at ranges less than 30 meters, most people use sniper rifles at much greater ranges than that. It doesn't change a thing, that is unless you use recons how you're supposed to.

As for shotguns, the shotgun buckshot damage is being increased while the shotgun sabot rounds hip-firing accuracy is being decreased. Those times when a N2000 kills you at medium-ish ranges in one hit means the wielder was using sabots, most likely with magnum ammo.

The AN94 close range damage reduction is interesting -- I'm curious to see how that feels. The AN94+red dot is my favorite gun in the game by far. It's like a fully auto sniper rifle.

Hope this comes out soon on the PC !

That's about the only thing different from the last update, for PC.
Almost everything else is a copy-paste from last update.

Battlefield 2 had that update not too long ago.

Sadly, DICE updates for BF2 screwed over the balance a dozen times. It was literally like they built the updates based upon what some random forum tard wanted, and then next week decided to go with what the OTHER forum tards wanted.

One week guns are super accurate, but then forum tards cry, next week guns can't hit anything. It was impossible to know how good a gun was because they changed the effectiveness of everything so many times, so frequently.

Just give us Battlefield 3 already, no more of the COD like, watered down clunky Frostbite engine Bad Company stuff.

Pretty sure you didn't "invent" anything. Strapping explosives onto vehicles is a long standing tradition in battlefield games. And as far as being the first person to do it to a UAV that's ridiculous. I mean I figured out that move myself without seeing anyone do it before.

You can also hit MCOM stations with Carl Gustavs to destroy them from a distance, or just blow up the building.

MORE shotgun damage at close range? It's already impossible to win against one in a close range battle, let alone how often you get 1-shotted at sniper distances if they use slugs.

Maybe they M60 reduction will weaken the Medic "Bullet Walls".

I think it's the most satisfying and awesomest tactic! The sheer amount of teamwork required to simultaneously detonate 6 different sets of C4 needs intense practice and coordination. Not to mention you gotta set it up right (blow up the roof, have 2 guys serve as distractions, etc) so when it all falls into place, it's absolutely glorious!

It's much less cheaper than people using mortar strikes over and over to level a building...

This update is adding new maps too right? That's the only thing this game really lacks as opposed to CoD that has plenty of map variety right from launch day.
