I thought the game was nearly perfect before the patch, only problems were the MAV riding and a few other things. I ran up on a dude with a lmg from maybe 6 feet away I put 7-8 rounds in him getting hit markers the whole time, he turns around pops me once and runs away, it maybe me but it just seems i can't kill anything anymore. And if im the only one around I shoot someone and they fall down dead I dont get a kill, but just a suppression assist. ****?

Your not the only one, i will unload half a clip into someone and then they turn around and seem to kill me with 2 bullets. I'm also dieing while behind cover really bad now, before it barely was noticeable but now it seems horrible.

Yeah I've noticed that too, if your getting shot at and take cover, like .5-1 seconds after taking cover you die. LAME

I wish they would left everything alone besides nerfing and buff what really needed it.

Thats exactly how I feel.

Yep, i guess if you go prone on it you can still do it or something like that.

Played another round on Caspian as infantry. I have to say, not that bad. It'll take a little bit of getting used to for sure, but I can work with it. Hopefully Dice will iron out the things they broke with this patch, but buffs and nerfs I don't really care if they change. 

Tanks are not impossible after playing a few rounds. Maybe I'm just good? Managed to tank out 2 Tanks and kill 3 infantry before getting taken out once. But they still need to give the strength back that they had Armor wise.
What happend to the extended Mag on my MG36...Got a lame Heavy Barrel. Switched back to the M240B, seems pretty stable, not a whole lot of recoil. Need to play with it some more though. Didn't run afoot a whole lot the few rounds I played, focused on the MBT.

Yeah I agree.  I spent about an hour in the tank earlier today with a buddy, and we racked up quite a few kills between the both of us, and rarely died with smoke and one of us to repair when needed.
 
It doesn't bother me about HAVING to run smoke now though, as I ran it always before.  But I would imagine if the enemy is intent on busting tanks, smoke will be worth more than EVAR!!!!

Didn't run with smoke, ran with Guided Shell and Reactive Armor which helps with RPG's and the SMAW. Jets though, what did they do to those? I was getting strafed left and right and it HURT.

Ya man, jets do BIG damage to tanks now.  I don't know what they were hitting us with, but it was doing serious damage.  I kinda thought they were trying to kill us with the lazerGuided Missile, cause we were getting hit and dropped to like 43% health on our tank with one pass. 
 
It could been rocket pods, but it more felt like it was just one HUGE impact instead of multiple ones.... but I dunno for sure?

They are for sure not impossible, the first round i played where i went only tanks i went around 25 and 5 i think. Normally though i would be 40 and 5. Its just harder to use now.

These guys were good, they were gun gunning me. No missiles involved, just straight cannon. Plus they were smart, they came on my flank, and when I am saying smart, first time I have seen the jets act like they would in RL. They flew together, had to have been on a VoIP program.

Jeez man!  Prior to me actually getting in the tank and seeing for myself, you guys where making me think they rendered the tank unusable or something?!?!

We lost 10 MPH, not a big deal really. When I am rolling close to building or objectives I go slow. If I am moving from point to point though I go fast.

Wow... Either I'm sleepy, or the effed up Tehran Highway. The "out of bounds" are different now...

Booo I can't play!  I get this...

Guess Dice doesn't know not to do Maintenance during the weekday. You do that Mon-Thu.

So i've been outa the BF3 game for the last 2 months at least. Anyone feel free to give me the major highlights of changes good and bad? I play medic and mostly just fly when I can and do tanks is pretty much all I do.  I'm rank 31 I think

Somebody else can maybe give a better brief than me.
 
I only have a short time playing so far, and most of that has been infantry work with a bit of tank/apc in there.
 
The gun handling is different.  The main difference is the suppression effect they added.... so now when you get shot at, you become highly suppressed, and your shots you try and take get a high deviation value added to them.  So the rounds don't go where you are aiming once you are suppressed.  
 
The tanks don't take quite as much damage as they used to.  Now tank rounds completely kill air vehicles with one round instantly, instead of a disable.  The MI-28 Handles better, not sure if its exactly the same as the cobra or not, but it's better?  Flares are now more forgiving on jets.... before if you popped a flare late, a rocket would still hit you, now it seems as long as you pop even a mili-second prior to it hitting you the seeker gets distracted.  The F35 has received a buff somehow, but I haven't personally seen it.
 
They added quite a few various features, like a 'quit' button at the end of a round, Map is a bit easier to read now.
 
Plenty I've missed, but still mainly seems like the same game.  If you liked it before, you'll likely still enjoy it now.... and vice versa.

Not to sound negative but after reading all the feedback you guys have been giving it doesnt sound like a game I want to start playing again. Really sucks cause I enjoyed the game a lot when it was released.

RPGs vs tanks is way out of whack, in Iraq a Challenger 2 took 13 rpg hits and wasn't even damage (had to withdraw due to optics damage). As for the jets vs tanks, I'm OK with it. Jets need to worry about stingers, helis, jets, AAs, stationary AAs, tanks, jav/soflams, buildings/trees. Tanks don't need to worry about as much plus they have gunners to assist in spotting and warning.

It's really not that bad, just going to take some time to adjust. My only gripe is they took Extended Mag from my beloved MG36, and weakened the armor to the MBT. Still enjoyable.

Soooo anyone been reading on the battlelog BF3 forums? Good grief. Dice is taking a beating with tons of ticked off players with this latest patch. Lots of bugs in it apparently and uneven game play. For one thing. The missiles not even working with the jet is completely unacceptable. Considering how long they have been working on this patch. Months.

Anyone notice how high most pings in game where.  The amout of lag last nigt was something else.

Just got done playing some more. I could not find a single gun I liked other than the M240B. Maybe the M27 IAR, and that is a big maybe. I found if you play in Metro, it really doesn't mater, it all seemed the same lol.
Think I am done with this game though, they keep making it worse and worse. They need to undo over half that patch to bring me back.

I am finally for once having a ton of fun with the bolt-actions though!

M16A3, M416, M4A1, M240B, and the L85A2 are the only guns I can still get kills with. Every other gun will take a lot of getting use to in order for me to get consistent kills.
