What I would give for Artillery again. Kill the 10 snipers that are always on top of the same building every single game over and over and over.

I got pretty good dropping supply crates on people. I always tried those first (assuming it was not needed elsewhere) as I felt it was more humiliating :awe:

Oh man, supply crate kills, forgot about those!

Did they charge the dart again? I tried doing the long range dart shots with underslung, G3A3 and heavy barrell, and not getting the results described by you guys in here. Did really like the M26 mass though to unlock it - that thing is powerful!

I'm not sure if it's bugged or just powerful, I'm sticking with the M16A3 because I do use it for longer range. Getting a kill with the dart at range isn't too bad but the spread can fuck with you.

What's up with this M26 Dart? Some guy on metro went like 70-10 with it getting kills from crazy ranges and in a single shot. Just out of no where I'm dead from a dart. Majority of my deaths where from that thing.

Couple things, none of which I verified, just heard here.

M26 dart with underslung+heavy barrel is giving it the accuracy bonus from heavy barrel. This really helps for longer shots.

M26 dart with underslung is firing the rifle + the darts. That adds 25 (30 with the G3A#) more damage / shot.

Shotgun+dart+64 metro=:awe: add in the rest of the stuff above and, well...

I wonder if it's really dart that's bugged or all M26s, the key seems to be the underslung rail.

Yeah, I think everyone is lying about that thing.
I just went through four maps using that thing and got my a$$ handed to me. Point blank in the chest - nope, just brush it off. It was consistently taking at least three shots of that piece of crap to kill anyone. Half way across the map headshot - nope, just take a little damage.

I can confirm - I got none of that.

Looked at my stats today. My average accuracy is up to 24% now. Going to start getting kicked for hacking all the time...

This patch completely ruined the game for me. I'm selling it this week probably. I haven't had a fun moment since they did it. Still don't understand why they had to nerf all the shotguns because some people were douching it up with the USAS. Plus something is funky with the hit detection. Down to about 1:13 K since the patch on a good day.

Not sure what you mean about the shotguns. Pump action shotguns are still amazing. I just got out of a Metro Conq. where some dude went 100-34 with the 870 w/sluggs. He was literally sniping people with one shot.

The suppression change was too much but Dice has stated that they know they went too far and plan to change it. The gun changes were all for the better though. Pre-patch there was always the definitive "best weapon" for any class. Now the guns are completely balanced on what situation you're gonna be in. Some may be best for Close quarters and some may dominate at medium to long range. Also, some are Jack of all Trades, decent at all aspects but amazing at none.

Suppression is a little much IMO and needs to be tuned down. Shotguns are still plenty powerful, I havent tried slugs post patch. I still believe the game was at its best on the day of release. However, I have adapted to all of the silly changes but also am certain they will muck it all up again real soon. :|

Good luck to the guy who claims he will be selling his game, not sure how you would do that considering its tied to your Origin account.

The thing about suppression that I hate is that it just seems like such an artificial game mechanic. The very fact that you hear gunshots wizzing over your head should keep you suppressed, right now, every time someone takes a potshot at you, your entire screen blurs up and its extremely aggravating, its essentially the BF3 version of blood on the screen when getting shot.

If someone is shooting at me, I dont need my screen to become opaque, I can hear the bullets and see their impacts, I don't need the damn game telling me that. They could have taken advantage of their awesome sound tech and make you hear every single bullet flying at you so stay in cover.

Right now its just, "welp I'm suppressed, can't see shit."

but it doesnt because its a game and people just do whatever. the intorduced haze and aiming penalty make you WANT to stay in cover

gives actual advantage IMO to getting the drop on someone.

if they just one it down somewhere between what its at now, and what its liek now with squad cover on, that would be fine with me

I hope it's true about DICE tweaking the suppression blur, because it really is a lot right now. A single sniper bullet whizzing by me makes me screen blur for like 4-5 seconds, so annoying. As far as weapon tweaks go, I do notice that weapons are now more balanced. Yeah, my game to game KDR is not as high as before, but just last night, I had to tweak my gameplay up a bit and went 2:1 for 6 games straight. I gave up on the SCAR-H for a while, but finally decided to go back to it after not doing too well with the G53 as an engineer.
