Was playing on 5 different servers tonight and they all had their ticketcount raised to a stupid high amount which made rounds last almost an hour. This shit annoys me, why is there no Ticketfilter implemented? I literally cant find a single server with default ticketcounts anymore. Why.jpg

It is annoying when I come home at lunch for a 30 min game and the enemy team have 800 tickets left, but TBH I do enjoy large ticket games if I have time to kill. You have minimal loading/setup times and I feel I've achieved more when I see that I got a sixty twelve ribbons.

Making the SOFLAM a passive income gadget
The Recon gadget SOFLAM (laser target painter) has been given a new feature. Now, when a Recon player places it and then leaves it, it will continue to paint targets entering its area of control, continuously giving the Recon player a passive points income. This means a Recon player can place a SOFLAM in a strategic position, then leave it to find a good sniping spot. Combined with fixing a few scoring error in the SOFLAM, it should now be a much more viable source of experience points for Recons. This balancing change is also present in the PlayStation 3 update that went live yesterday.

Cruelcow and I will be happy.

If it means more soflams I think we'll all be happy.

[Karthus]

It means I can actually get some points out of it now without having to make myself as a player completely useless by just staring at it.

The overall patch looks very interesting, it doesnt have enough changes to justify 5 fucking months of waiting time, but its very good. Only thing that sucks is that Claymores are completely useless again (which is a stab in my heart since Ive been only using claymores since this game came out and especially since they got a buff). Now theres no reason to not use C4 on support, how boring...

[Brahms]

What's the nerf on claymores? I thought they were OK as is. Always fun to crouch into a building on seine because they're always claymored, then go upstairs and kill everyone who expected you to be killed by claymores.

[Karthus]

They despawn now when you die just like they did before they changed it. Cant they remember why they were completely useless before?

[discordance]

they are just crap for area-denial if you have to camp to use them. It doesn't affect the campers who use clays to hide in houses. But it makes defending mcoms with them a lot harder.

[Brahms]

I guess they need to be pretty good if they're going to replace C4. Doesn't C4 persist after death?

[discordance]

not anymore, that got fixed.

[CruelCow]

They did before the patch. Well, not permanently, but a few seconds. Long enough for you to blow them up after death. I think the patch wanted to change that.

Wowowow, it already painted targets when you abandoned it (though poorly). Does that mean it will actively aim for targets near it now? That'd be a huge buff!

[discordance]

no it was permanent cow. You could die respawn, and the C4 would never go away. Making it very easy to camp an mcom with it or to c4 a tank and detonate on respawn. Now C4 persists for 5 seconds so you can revived and blow it but it'll be gone if you respawn.

Claymore sucks with this behaviour because its like C4 but shitter. Because its a directional explosion, I take 45 degree claymore blasts to the face all the time and it does nothing. Also you can dodge it with crouch and stuff. They removed explosives showing on the minimap when you got near as well. But that again just favours c4 because you can hide that so much better.

[CruelCow]

Claymores detonate by themselves, that's why they are better than c4 (in certain situations).

Forcing people to crouch around each corner is madness, I wouldn't mind if they removed them completely.

[Brahms]

The only people who I've seen use clays are campers and the occasional mcom defender.

[discordance]

they still suck even if they do trigger themselves, like i said i set them off and it doesnt kill me more times than it does, and even then I often get revived. They are just terrible and making them disappear with support just reinforces camping support play, and makes them worthless for defending objectives. They already suck pretty bad at point defence because as soon as the enemy team knows you use them they can spam the point with explosives before moving in. You can also shoot them which is harder/doesnt work on c4.

Ugh just played a quick round and fuck snipers. Because of the stupid change where close range bodyshots now kill, rifles are now shotguns again. Literally had a sniper spawn camping my team by himself, its retarded. If they want to shotgun people they should have to use a shotgun not be given a gun that is both rifle and shotgun.

[Karthus]

I always use(d) Claymores on offense to block off chockepoints that my team isnt using atm so that the defending team cant flank. Its a very useful tool to get some area control. I do not agree with it being powerful at all, they only kill you if you walk into them from the front, they barely scratch you if you walk into them from the side. It was a very useless gadget on release unless you were a camping sniper, when they buffed it it became a mediocre gadget for offensive players, now its completely useless again. Just make them stay after you die but reduce the amount of claymores you can set up to 1, Im fine with that. Now C4 is better in every way.
