Sure, they nerfed the Blackhawk which was a pain in the ass, when operated properly. Sadly though they turned it into a death trap. Never before have I seen so much metal raining from the sky. The "Hey, let's make everything a little easier !" approach DICE took isn't my cup of tea. It could have been me, but I think they altered the sniper rifles aim to make it more effective. Never before have I hit as much as yesterday. Tanks and Helos seem to be easier to blow up aswell. I got my ass handed by APC's sneaking up to me from behind two times in a row. I can't recall that happening to me pre-patch. Although EA/DICE took it's time with the patch, it seems somewhat rushed. They could have done a much better job, if they would have focused on features that alter the gameplay in certain ways. I would have loved to see bunnyhopping and anti-tank sniping go. Heck, even adding points for followed and archieved commands would have been great. And I'm not even mentioning the aim/hitboxes here which are "troublesome" to say the least... Perhaps in 1.04, who knows ? I have somewhat mixed feelings towards it, just coming from a server where I was kicked due to teamkilling caused by the red / blue bug.
