used tank just now, damn easily take damage, and so hard to repair.

How big is the patch?

1.6GB Patch


I could say that the patch was a bit successful with some set backs..

- IGLA/Stinger locks onto Aircraft/Helicopters much faster around 2 seconds
- Damage from the Jets onboard cannon is decresed
- You can no longer see AT Mines on the terrain , you need to DIRECTLY see it and use the commo rose 'Spot It'
- Mobile AA is now more deadly now that AA-Missle lock on speed is decreased but the affective range for AA-Missles has also decreased
- Firing in full auto is no longer a better way of killing an enemy , you need to fire in semi-auto or short burst.
- Claymore/C4 no longer exist on the battlefield after the user dies , but it can be detonated at the starting 5 seconds of respawn

AN-94(ABAKAN) is actually more lethal now when shooting with Heavy Barrel. I use it in burst mode, previously I couldn't use it with any attachments(Supressor made it weaker in 1-on-1s, and Heavy Barrel was just out of control for my liking). Now it's more steadier with the 2nd burst shot.

Apart from that, I've noticed that we can see our own pings, which I couldn't previously.

Using SOFLAM to target vehicles also bring more points now in Recon class. So far haven't played in Metro yet, huhu. But I've yet to see anyone use USAS-12, from what I've heard it's been nerfed? Haven't seen it for myself so far.

It's just been a few servers that I played(post update) but the vehicle horn is really getting on my nerves, haha.

^ Yeap, I noticed that we can see our own pings now too, instead of just a hyphen. SOFLAM is basically dart targetting just like in Play For Free? I'm not sure as I haven't used it.

You should try the DAO. it's as fast as USAS! major upgrade

Downloading now.

Hope it worth it.

Flash Supr is the pre-patch Supressor, only with the disadvantage of showing up on the map

Abakan rawks harder then EVAR!!!!!!!.

What nonsense is this crap?

WOA ur right... improved alot..

This is a really good business module.

My favourite shotgun right now is the SAIGA, but I've been meaning to use the DAO once I'm done with it.
I've never tried the USAS-12 but seems like it was a bit overpowered for a shotgun.


Haha, it was announced before the patch. You can buy all unlocks instead of playing through it. You won't get the stats or skill points of course.
Not that I agree with it, but I understand some people have time constraints and I can empathize with them doing so.

Because if you just bought the game now, everyone else most likely have already unlocked everything.

We can argue that skill is skill regardless of weapon, but when most servers are Metro and Caspian(where some unlocks are crucial for survival) I think it's understandable.
In my opinion it allows a more level playing field for those who are busy with study/work.
Basically time=money.

I still hate you can run faster then you aim.

I agree with the running part, the stamina bar should be depleted at a quicker rate if running continously. I know marines/soldiers are mostly athletic but even they would have suffered from fatigue.

It sort of reminds me of COD with the Marathon perk, but not as bad obviously.

WHat about IRNV!?!?!

Frequent disconnect after patching.
