Working great. thanks.

Question!
Do people typically fly best with the keyboard or using mouse?

neither wink.gif - I suffer serios vertigo (I.e. I'm rubbish) so I don't bother, choppers I'm ok with somehow - I should learn, especially with armoured kill coming out, but then I love my tanks so maybe not.

Quick question,

anyone else getting a error trying to download the patch? I am trying on my 3G hotspot by VZW. My guess it's related to speed of my connection.

I take two things from this that might explain how you could possibly think all the guns in the game are "the same."

1) You've only used three guns for more than 3 hours of game time. Hence, you don't have extensive experience with a vast array of them. I would suggest trying out some different ones like the SCAR-L and the AN94, or just using the AK-74M more. You can't really think that the 74M has the same feel as an M16A3 in game can you?

2) Your accuracy is low across the board (~12%). Perhaps if you fired in more controlled bursts instead of spraying and praying you would be able to tell the difference between the weapons. I think this is more likely to be your issue. I would further suggest trying to fire in shorter bursts. Not only will you be more effective, but the difference between the guns will really come through.

Oh, and in case you were wondering:



As you can see, I have over 3 hours of game time with 9 different assault rifles, making me more qualified to discuss how they contrast with one another. You'll also notice that my accuracy is significantly higher across the board.

I thought my 17% accuracy was bad.

Also I'm pretty convinced the M416 is the new king of the ARs. It's definitely bumped itself ahead of guns like the Scar-L or G3 for long range and it's excellent medium as well. It also has an extremely fast reload now + low recoil. It's not the AEK in short range but it holds it's own.

Versatility is key in BF3 for good weapons and it has it in spades. I think it's going to be my new go to.

^ this.

Yeah I can see the heli nerf, but I think they should work on the range of these. There is no reason I should get 1 shotted at 50+ yards with the 870 mad.gif

Based on the rumors pre-patch I figured the 416 would turn out like that. The only problem now is more people will use it which means ..... (drum roll) it gets nerfed in 3 months!

They buff the shotguns in like every patch, it's awesome lol. Still not very many people use them, except in close quarters maps.

I need to test out more guns, but from the couple games I played, M16 recoil got a pretty big boost. M416, I didn't like it much but probably need more time to test, and never really used it much before. Definitely need to try out the Scar L, one of my favorites and hopefully they didn't change it to much.

Yup, M416 looks like the new go to all around AR instead of the M16. Especially key is the new first shot recoil multiplier, which makes it vastly superior to the M16 at long range. It's 1.8 now, was 2.2 before the patch, and the M16 still has 2.5.

Edit: Just noticed that the SKS and RPK now have heavy barrels. SKS especially really needed it.

Okay,having had a chance to try out the patch for a few hours I don't find much of a change in the M16. The only significant change for me is that it is harder to drag the sights onto a second target while firing. I did notice one strange thing last night though. At one point I was playing support (M249, RDS, HB, EX Mag) I was frantically trying to throw out ammo, place a claymore and switch back to my primary as quick as I could and somehow my crosshairs froze in the standing still position. I could walk, run, fire or be suppressed and it had no effect on my crosshairs. I have not yet been able to replicate this but am definitely trying.
