Want want want. Especially heli tweaks.

I've been waiting for the day I can handle a chopper

unlisted changes

Some big ones I noticed:
Two ATVs have been added to Arica Harbor CQ
G3 and M14 are allowed to equip Marksman Specialization
Reduced snow drift/snow blind on White Pass SQDM (possibly CQ?)
Atacama UAV moved to second level of the boat
MCOM arming/disarm points have been increased

Helicopter is weird, but I've not exactly played much, but the short time I've been playing man is it fun! Can be a bit off when you're dying a lot, but it just is a fun kind of war, things constantly going on instead of walking everywhere or having useless (or too powerful) vehicles etc.

Wish the game allowed you to view pings of servers without it being in admin mode though. Weird that...

Also hate how I can't be Finaldeath. Grr.

I'm on as AwesomeStrong.

[discordance]

the fix for needing admin mode is coming in next patch

[Finaldeath]

Huzzah! sounds like a good patch. Any ETA, or is it just "soon"?

[discordance]

may 23rd .

No ideas its well overdue. Map pack 3 is out on consoles on the 9th. Blog says this about PC:

PC will get the maps available for all players after the release of the next update without the need for a VIP code.

So **** knows.

The consoles are getting yet another update this week as well, inlcluding an optional one on the xbox which is weird. But anyway cherrypicking here a lot of the changes are old ones or in the above changelist or boring but two new ones of interest that may make it into the pc patch.

• Increased Tickets in Conquest mode and significantly increased Ticket Bleed when holding a majority or more of flags.
• Increased the power of the UH-60 miniguns at long range.
• Armored Vehicles are now more effective at running over soldiers.

Also the 40mm shotty gives you a platinum at 500 kills now, I wonder if they figured out yet bronze, silver, and gold are all awarded wrong too the whole things setup to require weapon kills 25/50/100/1000 instead of gadget/pistol kills 10/25/50/500

[Brahms]

the UH60 the blackhawk? Would appreciate an upgrade on those pea shooters.

[discordance]

yah blackhawk

[CruelCow]

blackhawk = buildings kiler, try it

[Hzza]

blackhawk = buildings kiler, try it

Only if you pack it with C4 and fly the fucker into it!

edit - Actually, my latest use for choppers is to sit in the back calling in mortar strikes and lobbing motion mines at people.

[Junta]

I need to get back into this game *sigh*..... bloody exams

[Hzza]

I need to get back into this game *sigh*..... bloody exams

Yes, you do .

I need to add you to my growing list of stab victims .

[Brahms]

The fact that it destroys buildings, but struggles to kill infantry is one of the reasons I hate it, cruel.
