The new patch as I expected is POS, it's GU2 again.
Players are reporting 50% FPS lost with i5/i7's and I have lost 10-15 FPS myself and I was only getting 30-35 in mid size battles, large battles I have to avoid since it dumps to 10FPS when am in the thick of it or I have to stay on the edges.
Anyway, it's crap.
On top of that, they have broken tank turrets, NC are reporting the same with their Vans and Lightnings suffer this too.
This happens about 60% of the time, so sometimes you get a few decent shots off then it does this recoil/auto-aim-adjust and you have to wait or the second shot will fire into the ground.
VR is awesome through, tested a lot of new weapons out and love it, one of my favourite things is flying a Mossy through the main building over peoples heads. xD
After a hour or two in VR, I have decided to buy a few more weapons soon, I want the new AV turret, TMG-50 and the Walker for my Prowler which has a awesome DPS against EFS's.
But it's not big enough, there is not enough targets enemy flying vehicles should be in the sky not on the ground. On top of that, Radar does not work in there so you can't test that out. I read that Magriders are super OP'ed again where they can climb 90" angles and fly in the sky.
The new XP system is awesome through, going to make certs like mad now when I return to the game. The new map layout and instant action looks like poo to me, prefer the old look.
The Air towers have alted again, vehicles drive out out of a small room and not through the main bay of the building, so you can't get runned over anymore. They also added a other room where the Teleporter is placed which has shields, thus making it a small spawn room. Don't think I will have a problem with that.
I need to test it more, but I think ESF's "shudder" at low speed, making aiming really offputting. Ground vehicles can have TH now instead of being forced to use NV.
C4 despawning after the player dies is awesome, also the Devs/Higby has tweeted that the long-over-due AT-mine nerf was meant to be included in this patch, but due to a few problems, it's been delayed for the next patch, like I have always said, the way AT-mines have been used in this game is wrong and wasn't what the Devs intended, in their own words "Mines are meant to explode when a vehicle drives over them"

@ItsThatITGuy nah, we don't want mines to go away with death. We want them to only detonate when driven over and be disarmable by engys.
About god damn time.
I have just seen that you can now CLOAK ESF's, Libs and whatever else now.
Look at that? Look at that crap?
These Dev's are useless, they must be all fresh from Uni/College or something.
