I'm not worried about DMR noobs. I am really happy to hear they nerfed those damn heli guns though. The little bird rounds were like mini nukes. Shit was ridiculous.
 
Could be. Also, can you guys give me any feedback on sound/getting shot in the back now.

Any time I get shot in the back I don't hear footsteps, guns, anything. Just black screen dead.
 
I thought more rank equal more gold battlepacks, cause I really want to get the UCP camo for the US. BTW I just notice that US finally got the MARPAT 🙂)

Basically what a tick rate of 10hz means is that every 10th of a second (every 100ms; for comparison, a blink of an eye typically takes 300-400ms) your client builds a packet to be sent to the server telling the server "what you are doing" essentially.

The server updates the 'world' 30 times every second (30 hz)

Got that backwards from what I read. Server ticks 10hz. Clients 30hz.

Super annoying. Rear sound has been shitty for me since BF3. It's like they purposely mute it so people can get more knife kills. I have a good sound card and good headphones, dammit, and want to hear what's going on behind me!

If anyone has a way to enhance/fix rear sounds I'd love to hear it.

I'm saying they made it worse after the patch. Like there is zero sound from the rear now. It wasn't like that before the patch.

Coolest tweak in that patch is being able to push boats back into the water. I've grounded the patrol boat too many times (to my teammates' chagrin) on Paracel due to underwater debris and the big waves.

This is a good idea. I wonder how well it works?

Well, I gave it a try, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't work. Grounded a jet ski, tried to push it back in, and no option showed on screen to do so. Looked through key mapping options and didn't see anything for "Push boat" or something to that effect, but perhaps I missed it.

Anyone figure this one out?
 
I actually play this game now for the entertainment factor of the bugs.

My new favs from yesterdays patch are I had a squad mate who was invisible to me except his tags for 5 minutes while everyone else could see him just fine the whole time. At the same time any enemy that was spotted I could see their tags through walls too as long as they were spotted.

I also liked being killed by a guy with a rifle and then it saying he killed me with a tank round.

Couple of times I was stuck in place and couldn't move at all.

Frame rates in resort bombed out a few times.

Also sunk a handful of RPG's into a vehicle that was not running active protection and I while there was an explosion there was no hit markers. Had the same thing happen with a person too, direct hit with an RPG and the rocket just disappeared into him.

On the other end I flat out do not see anything fixed. All I see is new bugs which of course I am happy with, but for those of you looking for a working game and don't find it funny. Well I feel bad for you guys.

Thanks. I was on the test range today and didn't even think to give it a try.

Right now I'm completely frustrated. I'm trying to unlock the 2 dlc sniper rifles. I failed all morning trying to get a single sniper ribbon. I have never been so worthless to my team 🙁.

If anyone wants to get together to unlock weapons send me a friend request. Maybe 4 of us can get together on an empty server and unlock the guns we paid for.
 
I noticed last night, on a Hardcore server, that the kill screen didn't come up telling you who killed you with what. According to people on the server, Dice did that on purpose.
I'm not sure why they would take that out.
 
I have to say I am feeling very skeptical about the way things are going for DICE. This game is probably a third of the way through its lifecycle already and it feels like a BETA. New bugs being introduced with each patch, the sound is broken again on TDM and my friend mentioned something about planes not taking damage above a certain altitude, although I didn't investigate that. Sigh.
 
Been killed twice by sniper on a heli. Sounds issues are back when palying TDM too. Don't really know why they did an update when the last one seemed to have fixed most of the stuff.

I was fairly happy with the game......before this last patch. Now Im seeing all kinds of crazy stuff like that along with what Vulgar has been talking about. I keep getting killed from seemingly out of nowhere with no indicators whatsoever, granted I mostly play on HC servers but I usually have some idea of how and why I die.

Last night I equipped the M320 LVG on the new AR160 to try and unlock the new M320 3GL nade launcher and every time I would switch to it my character would hold it above his head like I was trying to surrender. It would only come back down to chest level when aiming down the sights. 😵

That has to be a bug. Why on earth would they remove that on purpose? It's driving me nuts! I like to know who killed me, with what, and how much damage I did to them before they took me out.
