I'm not sure how I feel about having Prestige lobbies... this has the potential to seriously fracture the player base down the road.

Well this will mean that all non-prestigers who have all the guns and perk upgrades will get to play against each other, while the prestigers who are still working on the guns and perks get to play against each other, thus leveling out the playing field. I think there are enough people in total playing the game that you won't have to worry about not finding a game.

I think it was a lil better last night, but we didn't have a party over 6 people though. Didn't have problems getting into too many games last night though.

Did well on a few maps last night to. Let me just say that huey+Jungle = murder.
 
First post on GAF about the update was around 5am EST, so I'd say that's pretty accurate as to when it came out. I'm interested to hear if it helped anyone's party issues as well, since that's pretty much my only beef with the game.
 
Yeah, the party system was by far my biggest issues as well. Spawns get annoying but it doesn't ruin the game like the party bug.

Yes it has, I downloaded it around 6:30 AM CST before BD posted the details.

so 630 AM on the 18th ? because the lobby system was doing the exact same things it was before when we were playing last night and there were only 3 of us
 
Yes, this morning. Last night when I was playing with a party it was still awful and I didn't get off until around midnight this morning.
 
I really like the patch so far. Finding and getting into a game is much much easier. Also, the Nuketown loop is gone. I believe you can only play same map twice. Can't really tell about the footsteps though since I don't run Ninja or Ninja Pro

Are you playing by yourself or with a party? Also, is the voting option for the previous map gone completely or does it only present the voting option once (i.e. the previous map is voted for and won, so next time it doesn't show)?
 
Hopefully the party system works better. Maybe I'll stop getting booted out of Kabobs party and have to be on the other team only to get my Chopper Gunner destroyed by Buc in 2 seconds......quite the buzzkill. We won the game though :ninja:

I'm not sure how I feel about the stats being more accurate.....I kind of liked having 80K kills in the weekly leaderboard 🙂

Haha that was great. Makes it so much better that it was your chopper 😛 I had just unlocked the strela also, perfect timing.
 
What was up with Cuda? He kept superman diving on the map with the bus in it. I think I killed him like 5 times doing that dumb dive 🙂
 
I know this is kinda random but has anybody drove through a window in multiplayer? I was sprinting away from a granade when I decided to dive; when I did I dove perfectly out the window. I just didn't know that was suppose to happen.

if you watch the videos in the post above you, you'll see it happens quite often.

I dont like the fact that the diver can pretty much start shooting instantly as they land. A belly flop from a 2nd story window should give you the same effect as a stun grenade.

It is actually a REALLY useful maneuver, when used properly. I just have to learn when to use it properly.

I saw a guy do that down some stairs on a Cuba map. I thought he had died and his body was thrown down the stairs or something. Nope. So he shot me dead.

Btw, I thought dolphin diving was supposed to be one of those things they fixed by putting in a slight delay before you can fire.

There's a challenge for diving through 5 windows.

They did, after you land there's maybe 1/2 a second until you can start shooting, and that's a LONG time in a gunfight.

I can't see much offensive use for it, but I do love chucking some nova gas at an objective and diving in with my tac mask.

Yeah, I never dive into a fight..."lets make the easiest thing to hit aim right at him!
