Discussion
Anyone played the infantry maps (Bazaar/Metro) recently? Maybe it's my connection (was never a problem before) but I cannot hit a running target for toffee, even with a bipod and LMG. People can run right through my field of vision, I'll let 30 rounds go at them and only get one or two hits. 
It seems that they've speeded up the infantry movement and dropped the weapon accuracy, with the result that the only way to play them is to run and gun, as you cannot camp and be able to hit a moving target.
Can't say I'm a big fan of the way the game plays now.
I'd just wish they'd stop messing around with the game dynamics - as soon as you get used to them, they bloody change them again!

What else? 
Theres your reason.Also, i took judge back to school earlier on B-)
Perhaps it's specific changes to the gun I'm using (for the assignment) as well - the LSAT. All of the belt-fed LMGs used to be death lasars on bipods that were accurate up to around 100 yds. Now you can put the crosshairs on someone standing still 100 yds away, let 50 rounds go and only get a couple of hit markers. You can absolutely forget trying to kill someone at that distance if they're moving.

How so? I thought it was fine before the latest patch - you couldn't charge an LMG on a bipod and expect to live more than a few seconds. Now it seems that if you weave enough you can get close enough to get the odd kill.

I know you're only joking, but I've got over 2,500 kills with various LMGs before the patch and the LSAT at least has definitely been nerfed this time around. It's a combination of lower accuracy and faster infantry speed.
Before I could pretty much guarantee double digit kill streaks in certain positions on Bazaar, now I'm lucky to get more than a couple at a time.

i use mg36, m60, l86, rpk, lsat, m249, m240b and the m27. i alternate between them depending what im looking for and havent noticed any change as i can still rack up tons of kills on any with good placementI know you're only joking, but I've got over 2,500 kills with various LMGs before the patch and the LSAT at least has definitely been nerfed this time around.

Hows everyone getting on with the Assignments??, you all completed all of them?, or perhaps the opposite and dont bother doing them?
I'm finding myself checking assignments before joining a game and see what i need to do,

I unlocked all 30 of the pre-armoured kill ones and despite not having much playing time hav got 6 out of the 15 AK ones so far and am well on the way to the remaining 4 vehicle ones. I need to work on the latest ones with the weapon kills though, but will probably get these unlocked before the next DLC in December.
I find they're a really rewarding way to experience all the game has to offer, whether it's sniper rifles, EOD bots or jets.
I also like working towards the medals - I've unlocked 47 out of 53 so far.

Have you not noticed any reduction in their accuracy then?My longest kill streak with the M249 is 23, so I'd like to think I know where to deploy them.
Check the latest patch notes (google is ypur friend) i know they have played with the Aim Down Sight bullet spread as well as the horizontal recoil of a lot of guns, couldn't quote verbatim which ones though. I know the ACOG sight has been massively nerfed. As has the foregrip.
Servers have been buggy the last week or so, not populating and such, so it might just be that.
If i had to guess, i'd say check your NAT type and ping.

That streak was actually built up from deploying at 3 different positions, so not camping at all - just strategic positioning and a bunch of (COD?) noobs who only know how to run and gun!

Not really noticed any reduction in the LMG's, thought the last patch improved the LSAT? Which I find pretty pants, did the assignment with it and not going to use it again unless I have to. Currently trying to get to 500 kills with the m240 its as bit of a beast. Still think the m60 and the L86 are the best tough.
Well they've definitely nerfed the LSAT's (at least) long range ADS accuracy. It's very noticeable when firing at stationary targets >100yds away when deployed on a bipod. If the pre-patch long range accuracy was 100, I would say it's now about 30.Have only tried the LSAT so far though, so will give one of the other guns a go tonight.

I hope they haven't nerfed the ADS accuracy, although I suspect they have from my games last night. I'm using new guns though so it's difficult to tell, but I'm sturggling to hit moving targets at medium range when using ADDS.Servers have been buggy the last week or so, not populating and such, so it might just be that.

If they have, it means it's pushing the game towards the run and gun playing style, which I'm, not a big fan of.
Hopefully it's just the servers though - I have noticed players jumping instantly between spots rather than running smoothly.
