that is a lot of updates :happycry:

yes im glad to because i said to myself im not goin to play it til they fixed it. Then i went to mw3 and got a MOAB. :carling:

Does this mean squads will no longer get split up and actually be able to join a game!?

Fukkk Nothing about fixing mic issue when 4 players in squad. FFs I have to be on the phone with my friends

There was a rumor that with the M98B and the M40A5 were going to be reverted to original stats (one hit kill to central mass. aka chest and head)

What the ****?

Reduced the damage from FIM-92 and SA-18 IGLA missiles against aircraft - I can't even get a destroy in the actual damage. How the hell should I destroy an aircraft with this less ammo I've and the vehicle Reapair is so fast?

I know this applies to jets, but I don't know about helis. 1 Hit with the FIM-92 or SA-18 IGLA will no longer disable jets. This is a really bad thing as it makes ground troops pretty much useless against jets now. All you had to do before in a jet is turn on your after burners and you could outrun the missiles giving your jet time to reload the flares. I really hope DICE reverts back to 1 hit disable, because jets are no pretty much untouchable.

That BS, but it would be awesome yes.

That is just to balance it all out.
Have you noticed that Jets are SHIT on Infantry? Extremely unrealistic is it, you shoot rocket pods at their heads, machine gun their camping spots Yet you dont even get a hitmarker.

So give me one reason why they should be able to destroy the jets faster..!

Ikr then later on you get aircraft assist or enemy kill assist but no damn hit markers
