It's so easy to get head shots now. You can just run about with a sniper and not even scope...Just shoot and boom! head shot it happened to often last night I thought I as going to get accused of cheating.
Had some fun games in SAS beer last night. Great little server, saving that one. Love typing while dead.... 
The patch is an odd one... no doubt choppers are much more prominent now (a good thing I believe). Guns, all feel pretty much the same as the last patch to me, Well, i dont seem to be as deadly with the AN94 anymore. Maybe thats due to this whole shenanigans about hitboxes and the way the AN fires 2 round bursts etc...
Dunno what to think of the easier to die thing. On one hand its so frustrating getting killed 10 times in a row in very quick succession, on the other, sometimes it feels fine when you are shooting at someone that they go down when they do... after all, you are shooting at them. Maybe if they reduced the head shot hitbox, it would give a touch more survivability as headshots seem quite easy these days.
Saying that... I think the settings for hitboxes was better before the patch. I wonder if they are trying to make it feel more like COD with insta deaths....

From what i've played so far I think the patch fixes a lot of problems and introduces some new ones.
Knife and choppers seem on the whole fixed, and i'm loving the new colour scheme to the White Pass map - don;t know what they've altered but it's a lot easier to spot targets - perhaps the snow effects have been reduced.
Having said that, choppers seem to be effected by AA (friendly fire as well as enemy) and just spins out of control at the slightest breeze and this is probably due to the 'hack' of making the mass of the choppers equal to the quad bikes!
I sort of hate the new message window, theres a very light green box that appears over half my screen when a new message appears or a server message occurs. Very annoying, it does disappear but on the snow maps is very visible, not so bad on the jungle maps.
Weapons seem no different to me, I keep getting killed by AN94, 40mm etc just as often however it does seem slightly easier to kill a moving target, presumably because the hit boxes are bigger. I'm hoaring the Uzi at the moment and getting some decent kills with it as it doesn't seem to have any bullet drop at any range!
Overall - improved with some slight annoyances introduced.

is that the plugin thats built into Procon. we are also testing it ourselfs its just getting the server started to test it thats the prob lolwe are testing an anti base rape plug in on the BDS atm, it basically lets you define areas and set them as protection zones for each team, panama canal has both mains now covered and if you are killed in your main by an enemy it will auto kill your assailant.
Please let me know of any issue
In addition the lag has been cleared up on our server by a combination of trickery and a hint of wizardry
Ive noticed a big difference in graphics actually... everything seems a lot more dusty, loads more light bloom etc... i find it really quite hard to see things on some maps.
Gotta think that someone running with the game in low mode would have an advantage if they dont get the full dust effects etc
I hate being crap at this game. I rarely have a positive KDR, it's always even or slightly below.And it annoys me when I feel like the only one trying to complete objectives.
Pff.... dont worry about it. I have often finished a game with about 30 deaths and 10 kills... hahah. But i dont hide in bushes.... like some... 'classes'
You know who you are, lying awake a night.... unable to sleep....I generally run around, go for objectives, if im a medic, ill do my best to revive anyone i see dead on the radar etc etc. I should probably be more cautious, but its kinda fun flying through a window trying to stabby stabby a room full of enemy before they know whats happened... haha

Truth! Defo my Recon kit of choice now!
+1
I can't stand sitting on a hill/in a bush/camping a spot for every single round waiting for someone to come into my line of sight
Much more fun to run around screaming and shooting as many people as you can before getting 40mm gren'd or gustav'd

Thanks Creed, the ESC double tap seems to work!...although it's a little annoying having to keep doing it.
I am also missing them pins, just carn't get them, i have asked lots of times but it seems whoevers squad im in they don't know how to do the orders, and that flag one seems quite hard, nearly got it once as the round ended it started to come up on my screen but i didn't get it in time
Just get them to look at a friendly or enemy control point identifier on the map and when the blue tracer thing will go around the point, if they then use Q to spot this point it will give an order. Attack will be for enemy points and defend will be for controlled points.
Easy
