Was awesome driving around and pumping the horn!

also, the sniper mobile deployment thingy is now easily destroyed, they increased the size of the hitbox!

The patch makes the game play better but already I noticed a few bugs, Already anticipating the Patch of the Patch

The patch barely fixes the input lag. As a veteran of Bad Company 2 who's played well over two hundred hours of its multiplayer, here's what I have to say: the game still controls like shit. My stance on Battlefield 3 does not change. Fuck this game.

@AuthenticM: Did you try turning off AA?

@FrankCanada97: Yes. There is a slight improvement, but barely noticeable. Not enough of an impact to make me enjoy the game. I got into a multiplayer match and just couldn't put the crosshair on moving targets and mow them down like I did oh-so-well in BC2. I got slaughtered.

tanks have become pretty useless now.. 2 hits from a javelin and its gone, even with extra armor on it. it also seems like the time it takes to lock on has decreased, making it even easier.

i also dont like the new icons you see in screen and on the minimap for mines and enemies.. i play hardcore because i dont want to see all that and now they infected me with that crap. seems like they go out of their way to make it easy for all the noobs..

yet, the spawn system still sucks, the attack heli is still overpowered and somehow i still get hit when im already around the corner of a building.

also, the sniper mobile deployment thingy is now easily destroyed, they increased the size of the hitbox!

I'm done with BF3 for now, this patch broke so much shit.
 
Tanks are now useless.You migh as well be riding in a coffin. The armor has been decreased and a single dude with an RPG is enough to stop a tank in it's tracks.
Repair takes forever.
Air has been made even more devastating against armor, with improved rocket pods. With the decreased tank amror even air superiority fighters are now destroying tanks in a single pass.
 
The AA missle range from IGLA and Stinger has been nerfed to shit, making them now completely useless against jets, as if they were any good before.
 
But the most egregious retarded change of all: the effect of suppression.
Right now suppression is ridiculous, it is king. A single stray bullet is enough to blur your screen.
All those precious gun stats go out the window when the first bullet that suppresses you increases bullet spread and recoil by an insane amount.
Playing TDM or Rush, be prepared to be running around with a blurred screen more then half the time.
My plan yestarday was to dick around and to test out how the guns feel now and how different attachements work. But this is no longer possible, you can't test shit or get any feel for the guns with the new suppression.
I simply no longer get enjoyment out of shooting guns in BF3, period.

As a result to the buff of LMGs and now add suppression, an emplaced LMG is now death to everything, the emeny does no even have a chance to shoot back.
Even snipers are a joke all one has to do is send a few bullts their way and suppression makes sniping no longer possible for them in return.
I was a heavy LMG user before and was looking forward to the buffs, and while all the other LMG fixes are probably fine, the suppression is way over the top.
 
I'm quite sad.
I went back into BF3 a week ago to get myself back in gear for when the patch comes out. So many changes sounded so good.
But now i have no interest in playing anymore.

For those wondering about input lag post-1.04, check this:

My dad called me up this morning and told me that after he installed the patch (Xbox 360), he's been unable to play Wake Island. Anyone else have this problem?
