    Improved minimap
    • Map mode shows the most important tactical geometries such as buildings, objects, roads and water.
    • Satellite mode displays a top-down photograph of the level for increased terrain detail.
    • Hybrid mode combines the Satellite view with a Map overlay, offering a mix of quick tactical awareness and terrain detail.[IMG]
    Beep beep! We have horns!

    Giving all players IR flares

    More awards for skillful heli flying
    ...increased the pilot’s score for transporting passengers who make kills from the heli. The assist score for heli pilots is now 50 points/kill. In a fully loaded transport, four passengers who make 1 kill each will give the pilot a sum total of 200 points

    Making the SOFLAM a passive income gadget
    When placed and left, recon will get points for targets that are automatically painted

    Suppressing is team play, too!
    ...lowered threshold for achieving the Suppression Ribbon

    Shortcut Items Available
    The 10 shortcut items are available now from Origin and include:
    Kit Shortcut Bundle: Immediately unlocks all items unique to the four playable classes
    Vehicle Shortcut Bundle: Immediately unlocks all items for all vehicles
    The Ultimate Bundle: Immediately unlocks all items from all other available shortcut packs


    What are your thoughts on these main changes?

    lowering the threshold for suppression ribbon is an excellent idea especially in hardcore

    Im confused why people dont like the shortcuts its not like buying them is going to make those people better players. Actually if it did wouldn't that be a good thing surely playing against good players is better for us all? I also dont see how it effects you if someone chooses to pay to unlock instead of actually playing the game to unlock.

    I am looking forward to the patch though ill be going to bed early tonight so I got all day to try out the new weapon tweaks and fixes.

    I'm going to use the Satellite mini-map. I figure even though it says Map offers more geometries, I can still see buildings and vehicles.

    OMG. Increased points for heli pilots. That's amazing. Finally I won't feel like a martyr.

    SOFLAM painting points were needed WAY too long now...

    I appreciate the patch. It seems everything went better than expected.

    But I guess the total damnation will come with the release of the download :D

    /edit: The maps...well, atleast u can see something else than different coloured squares :p

    Yay, this is great, but the shortcut thing, imo, defeats the purpose of playing the game. But hey, if people want to spoil it for themselves, so be it.

    Horns! That's all I care about.

    As to the shortcut thing, I don't care. It may be stupid, but I have unlocked everything already anyway. It won't put anyone at a tactical advantage.
