|
|
The Patch was finally released this morning. Our own DontCamp.com BC2 server was automatically updated early this morning. Make sure your clients are up-to-date!
Here is a link to the official news post with info on the change log.
http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/06/29/new-bfbc2-pc-patch-announced-for-wednesday-june-30th.aspx
| Quote: | The Balance tweaks are as followed:
• Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range.
• The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming.
• The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming.
• The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.
• Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs.
• Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.
• Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range.
• Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots.
|
Not real sure what they mean by "returned to their former glory." I hope it means that they will be as effective as their counter parts.

I believe they have changed the sound of the G3 along with its "glory." It sounds like it is more effective...and it is. Its perceived lethality is easily twice what it once was.
The MG3, now with more awesome. The tweaks they have done now make this machine gun worth carrying and I noticed a that players were using it quite a bit last night. I didn't notice an over abundance of them so I'm hoping the balance is just right. It is a great choice for close to medium range combat. Within 20 yards you could just hold the trigger down in very long burst and easily take out a squad if they weren't paying attention. As the range increases, shortening those burst is still effective. The downside is that you still go through 100rnds very quickly.
The M14 is now easier to use as it does settle slightly quicker than before. This translates to less perceived recoil which manifests itself in lessening the uneasy feeling I have while trying to use it in CQB.
Last night I also took the opportunity to pick up the GOL. I had never really used this rifle preferring the M24 for my long range work. So I choose the 12x scope and went about trying to finish up my Marksman Headshot award (which I did get last night). As an attacker I was able to set up fantastic vantage points from my spawn area. This required a couple of mortar strikes to clear some trees though. With the 12x scope I was able to do a lot of spotting. I think I racked up most of my points simple from spot assists. Luckily the other team had a couple of snipers giving me a couple of stationary targets to shoot at from extreme range. Most of my kills were netting me 100+ bonus points from the Marksman Headshots. I did land a 289 Marksman Headshot bonus during a round of Port Valdez. I did this from the hill/cliff overlooking the second objectives and hit sniper on the top floor of the unfinished building beside the helipad of the third objective. It took a couple of shots to get the holdover just right. I was only somewhat helpful as I cleared that whole building of snipers but it was a lot of fun. Its fun when the amount of points you get for one kill is more than 6 regular kills.
I haven't tested knifing someone in the back yet.
