Going to be interesting to see how they pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 - They did not address the sniper rifles issue - They reduced the C4 blast area, which was not needed I didn't see any positive changes except for a new map. wippeee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACS Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I didn't see 'much' weakening of the AA that I was expecting - or mention of the bullet proof glass installed on the choppers. If I understood correctly, it is harder to get a hit on aircraft now (longer lock on times), but when you do, you take more damage - certainly with stingers etc. I do like the engineer ability to equip both AA mines and a launcher now. Some maps you really do need both and with the mines having instant lock on with increased damage, could be more viable than previously. I haven't been able to get the AA mine to fire in the test range yet (it used to) so will see if it works in a proper match. For snipers however, the smoke is a potential major obstacle for them - as long as the powerful zoom scopes don't see through the smoke like they could before. I do like the increased points reward for actually capturing objectives now (up from 150 to 400) and the removal of the marksman bonus for long distance kills. That move in itself seems to indicate DICE recognize a problem exists but I feel they could have done more to tone down the effectiveness and popularity of DMR's and sniper rifles. On a plus point, it looks like shotguns got the range nerf they needed for buckshot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSteward Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 With all the net code changes, I hope it doesn't affect our brothers and sisters from other countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaldag1 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 KUDOS and thanks to DICE LA Team and David Sirland BF 5 or whatever Dice will call the next game will benefit massively from all the changes that DICE LA created. DICE Sweden must feel kind of bad now for botching it at release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
