AK is fine, if you use AUTO to empty a clip you deserve to miss

New patch out, seems odd nowadays that a 2.2gb patch is a small update, i remember having to wait hours for a 60mb ghost recon patch back in the day!

A new 2.2GB patch has been released for Live Servers. The purpose of this is to update our anti-cheat measures. No downtime required. Patch is now available to download via Steam.

I remember when a full game was 700Mb, and also leaving files to download for hours (see TFC and CS) from PlanetHalfLife. Lol.

IIRC the one and only patch for MOHAA was around 15 Mb and all it fixed was the way the English soldiers hands aligned with a lock when he was picking a lock in the first mission. Those were the days.

Is this for the live server? When is it released ?

All the new attachments seem a little OTT but meh, will wait to see.

Restricted big scopes (8x and up) for use with all ARs
Restricted big scopes (8x and up) for use with LMGs (DP28, M249)

Is interesting

Test server - it's live now I think.

Good - the ability to use 8/15x on AR's was a bit silly as it essentially turned them into a sniper/DMR.

Another couple of interesting changes I noticed:

SMGs

Increased limb shots modifier

Slightly increased the damage of the Micro UZI, UMP9, and Vector

Decreased vertical recoil on all SMGs

Decreased recoil and scope sway when moving in ADS (aiming down sights)

Increased ADS transition speed

UMP is going to be even more mega now

Throwables

Frag Grenades

Increased explosion damage and added new hit effects and animations

Previously, grenade damage was greatly dependant on fall damage (from the grenade’s knockback effect) rather than explosion. We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters, and have adjusted it so that only explosion damage is applied when you’re struck by a grenade.

Wait... what? So they basically just highlighted and corrected a stupid design decision. Why on earth would the damage of a grenade be more dependant on the fall rather than the explosion?!

Other Item Balance

Both SR quickdraw magazines and SR extended quickdraw magazines now spawn only in care packages

We’ve reduced the spawn rate for AR extended quickdraw magazines

Personally I don't understand the logic behind those changes?

What would be the cheapest new card that can handle Pubg on mediumish settings? My brother needs a new card, but I have been out of the loop since I bought my 970. I guessing its not worth him buying a 970 second hand now as they will have been used for years.

Swifty55 · 26 Apr 2018 at 16:16

Disable 8x scopes for AR's but then gives 6x scopes... Logic?

Chris [BEANS] · 26 Apr 2018 at 16:34

It's effectively a slight nerf to the max potential of most ARs, and a slight buff to the max potential of the M16.

Just balance changes. Won't all stick but good to try stuff out, see what works, what doesn't.

The slower reload times for the ARs will be a pain on the Savage map in the early stages..

I bought a 970 HOF and an i5 2500k earlier this year and can run in high/ultra @ 1080p with 60-80fps comfortably

i5 is at 4.4ghz and have 16GB RAM
