new minimap is much better, as are the changes to hud icons (clays, flags, squadmates etc). everything feels a little bit sharper too

I shot one chopper with stinger, range is shorter but not super short, the projectile is definitely stronger. To a seasoned pilot/gunner team a single engy is still nothing more than a nuisance.

Why would they do that? Just seems lame. IMO they should keep it all at 50 so certain ribbons are harder to get... oh wait, that's not how BF works anymore

Yeah, I was playing rush this morning and I was able to disable and actually blow up an enemy Frogfoot with one stinger. Too bad the guy jumped from the plane and I didn't get the kill.

Were there any more changes to the awards that you know of?

I haven't seen a changelog or anything on the awards.

Also the PP-19 now can kill an enemy in some situations, a huge set up for what had been the crappiest wepon I'd ever used ever.

Extremely frustrating when every single piece of equipment comes gunning for you though.

yeah we had the whole team trying to shoot us down. having a good pilot makes being a gunner effortless

How do you toggle the different maps?

Also, I loved the PP19 pre patch; I was able to get kills with it pretty easily. Good to hear that it's even better now.

Christbane....

I see you the other day on the 'HBD - It's a good day to die' server?

I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something. - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

Thanks! I'd Karma you but I can't give you more than one in a 24 hour period. Management rules.

Bipod is great for lmgs, especially on more open maps.

I use the heavy barrel often. It adds a decent advantage if you restrain from spraying.

I seem to have a lot of trouble comparing using heavy barrel to not using it as I don't seem to notice a physical difference but I get a lot more kills. On the M16A4 it's beast because the 3-round burst is just amazing for HB as it's just the right amount of bullets before recoil becomes an issue. I aim at the knee and squeeze and one or two bursts does the trick.
