That's a great list of changes.

I use the M16A3 primarily and I'm happy to see they didn't mess with it. I use the Heavy Barrel and Foregrip as accessories, and the Heavy Barrel is improved while the Foregrip was nerfed. The Foregrip's effects are negated by the Heavy Barrel though, so we should only see improvements across the board with this gun. (Y)

I don't remember reading anything about the team specific weapons issue. If I have the M16A3 unlocked for both sides it shouldn't switch me to the AK-74m when the teams swap.

I never understood this "feature". Battlefield used to swoon over MAV kills.

I love mav kills but to be fair if you run into somoene with it at full speed you shouldnt be able to still fly it, most of it is probably because of people just kill farming on Metro servers

These 100's of patch details have me very excited about the game.

I put a lot of time in it initially and I have stopped playing completely in the last few weeks. I can't wait til these are live. It lists so many things that I've wanted to see changed. My excitement level grew more and more the more I read...

Indeed.

The other day, I was playing on Gulf of Oman, was driving a tank, as usual, and there was this pilot of other team, that was, like, really really good. His dog-tags showed that he had the 50th service star for the attack-helicopters. He had insane and I mean really, really insane skills.

Sadly we couldn't get a nice pilot on our team, and I am not that good at flying, but at the end of 1000 ticket round, he did 59-5. (Y)

Getting good at shooting down choppers from the tank when they are flying low to cap flags.. just have to stay undetected as long as possible and get nice and close...

I was on Gulf of Oman and walking alone near the Construction Site flag open area. I see a Havoc hovering heading directly for me. I shot some AEK rounds right into the cockpit and killed both players! The chopper gently landed on the ground (since they were so low) and away I went! I wish I took a video!

Haha, I have tried that plenty of times, never killed anyone from just shooting at it with a gun. I have had heaps moments where I wish I recorded it (but dont we all). Best one was on Metro, kinda did the same as that guy that got a 30-something kill streak. I managed to get down to the US base and come back and kill most of them, got 17 kills, ran out of ammo then tried to go knifing but got killed.

Would have only had about 3-4 deaths but got my ass kicked at the end! Was in the tank most the time, they had good chopper and jet pilots, we had no one in the AA, I stayed in the tank so I would be safe if an enemy tank came along (was getting flags as well), managed to take down 3 choppers from the tank using the main gun. I'm finding it easy to jump out and kill infantry when they are reloading their RPGs, just got to make sure he dosen't have a friend hiding around the corner that can steal the tank....

This game is so much fun once you get the hang of it.

Wait till you get the canister shells. When they come low enuff they get totally peppered with shots. If your lucky it,ll kill the pilot, if not its still quite a nasty little bit of damage.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
