Hi all,  
Posting this because for me and lots of others its true. What a joy to play again. Played more matches since Thursday than I’ve played in a month. For lack of better words to use it all seems fair now. Not one time have I had a wtf moment where I question a getting or being killed. And has this update helped vaulting? Haven’t gotten hung up at the past few days and before it could happen every match.  
While I feel the pain of all the guys complaining now, please Dice don’t go back to prepatch.

It really is a nice improvement. My ping is a steady 30 and my connection is clean. The game has felt so tight. Plus the TF and grenade nerfs and the medic spot. The game is really becoming refined now.

I haven’t read any changelogs but about the only thing I’ve noticed is that next map can be voted at the end of the round and nades don’t regenerate (?), gameplay seems same except that revive-gunjam bug seems to be back again.

It seems good to me and I’m loving the kill trading and I don’t see as much nade spam.

Haven’t had the revive-gun-bug.

I’ve really enjoyed it the past couple days too. Gameplay feels more predictable, grenades aren’t flying everywhere, and even hardcore got some loving with return to 200% damage and more gameplay options!

This game never felt better. 10 out of 10 patch. It is the state that the game should have launched with in the beginning. We have to make our voices known because high ping region jumpers are trying to make it seem like this update needs to be reverse. Instead of you know playing in their own region.

Its definitely more fun now.

DICE has still a long way to go with tankbalance and teambalancing. That they barely touched to begin with.

Great topic and great patch indeed.  
The “incoming medic” feature is also pretty good, so I can inform the fallen soldier that I’m on my way 🙂

Yeah. I like it too. Like being able to easily see ping and as a regular medic player I love the new spot feature. New ribbons are nice too. I get more points for my revives and repairs too!

Oops, spoke to soon I guess. Lots of folks pretty upset after the patch it seems. Looks like Dice is gonna change some things again . Hope it doesn’t mess with how good the game feels now !

They still regenerate with a timer, but now you have to step on an ammo crate once the timer is fully completed (49 seconds for a frag grenade) or it won’t appear. Also ammo crates speed up the timer by x3.5.

It depends on your gameplay that will determine if you like the patch, sometimes I liked getting in a plane, now I can’t stand it so great job Dice. If you are boots on the ground its a pretty good patch I suppose as long as your ping is good in the server you are in. If you see you are hitting over 100 you might as well find a new server as it will not end well for you so I guess thats a good thing. I still get stuck on pebbles so thats definitely not fixed by any means. Really the planes nerf & aa buff and the netcode changes are really the only noteworthy thing IMO, yes getting rid of magic grenades is fine with me as well.

Personally I think they should’ve left the planes & aa’s alone, they were fine, I could take out planes with one good pass of aa pre buff, now they are slightly OP by maybe 5% of where they should be IMO, and the dart plane is probably 10% less capable of where it probably should be.

I don’t think you have to be on the crate when the timer ends. I think you just have to have touched the crate at some point in the timer for the nade to eventually regenerate. Could be wrong, though…

I didn’t like the auto regen grenades with the last update. However I got used to it so now I’ve died many times because I waste a couple seconds by trying to toss one and I don’t have another one lol.
