very annoying because it keeps on locking up during the download or when you are installing it
Hmm didn't experience any probs downloading or installing nor did i have to reinstall B2K... Patch is great Op Metro is so much more fun when you're not being famased or usased to death every 5 seconds. Weapon balance is now excellent.

was hanging on me when selecting download in background, i just let it run its course and it worked
Just put this in pc section but may aswell copy it here just my quick analysis on the new patch i give it a 4/5 rating as im not sure about the air combat
yer i gt it today on ps3. Big changes tbh plays differently lots of people struggling to aim and hit things lol (or i was playing noobs for ages).
IMO L85A2 is now a beast and what it should be still get smashed CQ against faster shooting AR. (thats running foregrip and heavy barrel and iron sights)
M240B is my new favorite LMG same damage as PKP but faster fire rate can drop groups of people in seconds.
M4A1 is nowhere near as good as before seem accuracy with suppressor foregrip has really taken a hit on this weapon so instead i used the G36C again and that was much better close and mid range but still shocking for long range, a-91 not too different but bullet spread with suppressor is ridiculous as with a lot of guns now.
Helicopter duel is kinda messed i dont think they balanced it well, basically flares only stop missile hitting you ECM works as before but more reliable and better. So me and my housemate using coms ECM pilot and Flares gunner, we dominated on caspian, he went 28-0 i went 8 or 9-0 got hit by one igla disabled and repaired before he could reload and lock. When attacking i was shooting 1 heatseeker (which lock on insanely quick) waiting for the flares then giving it 2 seconds and guaranted hit if they arnt in coms or gunner using flares (give it 2 other wise the missle goes mental as doesnt hit) also i found with it bang on 2 secs i could get then 1st reloaded heatseeker to hit heli aswell before pilot could flare again then get 2nd one off and hes dead.
Tanks citv and soflam still lock onto choppers and guided shell still hits though somtimes if pilot flared on little bird early the citv would restart locking sequence.
Hip fire when moving seems really inaccurate.
They have changed a lot of the graphics for spawn screen and end game screen looks so much better with nice little icons, seems small difference but when you see it you will notice how poo the old way was.
and the great new FRAG ROUNDS ARE USELESS YIPPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think thats everything just ask if ive forgotten anything
o wait the as val is a pig now so much recoil and the extended mags (200kills) take capacity up to 30 and 1 in chamber
Just remebered something else. The havoc is much more agile and the climb rate i think is better than viper got me out of a few sticky situations, the round my housemate(gunner) when 28-0 was in the havoc

What's so awful about it ?
As for no update, the PS3 has theirs. 360 & PC coming soon, only delayed because of certification problems as far as I know.

Would there be any facility to wipe your rank and weapon unlocks to start from scratch? I would like to relearn how the weapons now handle in a similar fashion to when the game first launched.
I have the next two days off and would love to have some solid sessions, could I create a new account on psn? What implications would that have with regards to karkhand?

PC patch is due tomorrow.
After having a few rounds with the new patch i can say it feels a lot different, things like stingers lock on much quicker BUT for some reason, it doesnt always work, lots of time last night i would be tracking a helo within its range an nothing, then if i spot it i might or might not work.
you do get one hit disable tho, and reload feels quicker, the fixed AA feels better, and more powerful. the US one on kharg has moved from the beach to the ship so hopefully that will stop base raping.
the knife is still buggy, swiping is quicker but it still gets stuck when trying to do a take down.
Vaulting over fences still has its issues so i end up going around.
tanks are a lot weaker. almost to the point of being useless now the repair torch is slower.
I dont know if it was me but i thought it looked brighter, and clearer, normally i struggle to see in dark places but it was way better, also turning of AA makes the game look sharper to me.

i think you would have to pay for another online pass to create a new account.
Yep, this is ridiculous. 2.3GB to download in total, I'm not concerned about the data usage or anything but it really does make you wonder what they're doing.
Also very clearly proves that they're releasing stuff in a state that is nothing close to what the actual finished product should be, if it needs over 1GB of fixes.

I think the reason for downloading back to karkand again is because some on the new guns were bugged on the back to karkand maps, and the way to fix it was too redownload the expanison and install again, this way they can make everyone do it..
also, all the weapons i tryed last night seemed to have more recoil and were a lot weaker...
Tanks are made of paper now also

Also has anyone noticed they have changed some of the sounds, like when you tank gets disabled, it makes a different sound than before, the sound disappearing still seems to be a problem tho
