Auvers

"Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minium distance" at last no more bunnyhoppers firing that bloody thing at your feet

I was a big fan of the nadelauncher, thn i decided to try the game without using it, using G3, man i understand how it pisses people off. Went back to using it after 3 rounds. UAV's a great idea, will you get points?, does it take much to take it down tho.

Sounds....troublesome. I assume they'll be including the new Jetpack for the spec ops then?

In real life a UAV is not very big. Its about the size of an eagle with its wings spread out. I would imagine that it wouldn't need much shots to take down, its just knowing where it is, is the problem.

irlrobins

ah but in real life a tank shell hitting a chopper would be pretty fatal..... not in bf2 though!:p

Zen 2nd

Yeah true, but I doubt they made it so strong that it would be pointless to try and take it down for the time its actually up.

Yeah but have you ever heard , in real life, of a tank taking out a helicopter? (an attack helicopter at that)

Just the patch I've been waiting for. Wasn't expecting the the 'nade launcher changes, imho it takes the fun out of infantry battles. The heli changes are pretty fair I think.

Nay, but I've heard of blackhawks being taken out with extremely primitive rockets in GW2.

Granted, the threat of being instantly killed by newb chewbers can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, but I certainly don't think it'll take the fun out of infantry battles.

Yeah I really do believe it does, hardly a time you survive a tube blast even then you can't have a proper fire fight. I look forward to some mid range fire fights when I play and infantry only clan games, but then realise that there is hardly such thing. The last match I played all I heard during the two rounds was constant banging of 'nades It gets pretty damn annyoing after 5 minutes so yeah I'm happy to see the changes.

Oh and the diving is pathetic also, learn to aim and strafe and you're grand.

Everything looks good, but I can`t believe they are making the grenade launcher weaker than they all ready are! Explosions tear people apart, thats bs.
lol the new sniper rifle is the awp from cs!

Scruff

think the minimum distance on the grenade launcher is a decent comprimise but making it weaker as well is a bit ott. its ****e against anything other than infrantry anyway.

They've said the very end of Jan, maybe even just into Feb, but it'll almost certainly be before Feb 8th as the Euro Forces pack is out then.
