(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well me being a SMG guy I was pissed hearing they nerf'd the SMG's even more but after downloading the update and playing I don't notice much of a difference. I really can't pinpoint what exactly it is, but the update seems to have helped better the game in a major way.. I don't know what exactly it is though.

After downloading the update and every game I played since I got 2 loadstars, which is 7 games since the update to be exact. Did they remove skill based match making or what? I mean getting the loadstar isn't anything difficult and I get it all the time but getting 2 loadstars in a row for 7 games straight which is kinda making me wonder..

I really can't put my finger on it, but something seems to have changed.. is it the connection? Matchmaking? Whatever it is, im liking it.

Biggest thing which may be helping is now putting search prference it on best or normal only matches you with people from the us so you don't get random Europeans which makes the connections immensely better.

They only nerfed the smgs with silencers, they do less damage with silences at range now.

Only thing I noticed is the wireless on my router has turned to crap.
Don't feel like they changed the matchmaking but the balance changes are nice, won't see that in the meta due to the peacekeeper yet :p

PS3 guys be warned your see a lot of peace keepers does not make it OP.

I initially ranted last week but then remembered how MSMC and PDW had "added recoil" and "hip fire was nerfed" last big update and that wasn't the case at all. I don't really use AR since on most maps I don't see the point but the Swat and AN94 felt better.

I have used Lodestar about 110+ times before patch and twice since and I honestly don't see a difference. It is still a beefed up Reaper which I love of course. I haven't gotten another Swarm to see but a friend told me it had to be a little slower.

As far as SMGs the only SMGs I use suppressors on are MP7 amd maybe PDW and I avoided long ranges anyway so can't say it's a huge difference
Not sure about ADS delay since I honestly thought lag was the reason my aim seemed on point but took longer to get damage dealt lol. Especially when a 5-17 seems to accurately lock on a shoot me.

Honestly I think they treat PS3 so second rate that we didn't get everything patched haha.

SMG's feel the same for me but i notice a little change in the range but nothing special. The Lodestar is still awesome, it was my favourite killstreak and i was afraid because of the reduced AOE but seems the same to me which makes me very happy. As for the swarm and LMG's ADS i cant talk because it is very rare for me to use them but might get my Swarm on in the next games :b

The swarm is significantly slower after the patch, I noticed it right away. After it killed the whole team it took about 40-50 seconds longer to come back and kill some more. I don't understand y it got nerfed, people just leave when the enemy team has a swarm anyway.

Damn that fucking sucks. I use K9 more and was gonna use my next unlock token on it but I'll stick to Lodestar, K9 and even VTOL Warship lol. We know why they nerfed it. Bad players ruin games with their excuse making.

did they fix the party in game lag?

Not really. The game migrates host A LOT MORE. Pre patch I saw host migration maybe once every 25 games. Now it seems to happen every other game which is weird. There is still that glitch where if someone leaves the party it takes like 20+ seconds to "Reconnect to Party." Party system hasn't really been improved at all on PS3 at least.
