Best patch to date, lots of nice fixes (if their fixed that is)

pkm, type88, g3 an94 and 40mm shotgun...returned to former glory...what does that mean?

I assume it means they are going to perform as they did before r11, but I could be wrong. If I'm right it means the pkm long range dmg is increase, type 88 close range dmg is reduced, g3 damage is increased (both close and range), an94 long range dmg is reduced, and 40mm shotgun dmg is increased (both close and range)

ah, sounds good to me.

im less interested in balance and more interested in fixing the bugs, glitches and shit.

id much rather them worry about balance when the game is working at or near 100%.

Still no mention of the two broken insignias but fixing bugs and shit is more better then some points

Gameplay - Weapon tweaks have been implemented based on PC public feedback <--- define this please

Noooooo...don't nerf the an-94. I love that thing with the 4x scope and magnum ammo.

I don't mind if they set the an-94 back to where it was originally, as it has always been a pretty solid gun.

I'm kinda hoping that they undo whatever they did to the m416. If not, the an-94 will still be pretty good.

Its all good. AN94 has been redic since the last patch. Not that I'm complaining because I love the gun.

am i the only one that hates that gun? for some reason my shots just don't reg or i'm not using it right.

seems like even in 2 burst shots the second shot is always significantly higher than the first

i guess if you go for center mass the first time then the second might land a headshot, but i'm just used to going to headshots with my first bullet, so the second is usually a foot above their head.

Last minute issues have pushed the patch to early next week for PCs. Also, SPECACT will be available after the patch.

Just a heads up no patch this week either. These are tweets from Bazajaytee an employee at Dice.

@F2CMaDMaXX To discuss fixing them, we wont be cutting features we want to add. It is just about time so wont get a patch this week.

@F2CMaDMaXX Exactly It is the new stuff causing us problems at the minute which is why they haven't been added to the changelog.

Apparently it's the SPECTAT DLC and how you select it from the game that's causing the current issues. Also, the M1 Grand stat problem is fixed and will be put in one of the patches but he didn't state which one.

good to know, although i wish they could introduce the new worthless shit later and get the patch fixes in now

Thanks for the headsup Morphene.

The delays are killing me.

Wow, I'm gone for almost 2 weeks and that shit still isn't patched?

Awsomely Gay.

ech, i don't blame em for taking their time. if you've read how much people are hating on them in the ea forums. if it was my job i'd just shelve it and take a cruise or something, come back in a month. amazed that they're still working on it at all. people didn't complain this much when it was 6 months between patched in bf2 and 2142.
