-- A detailed look at Squad refinements
A detailed look at Squad refinements
Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.
First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.
For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.
After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

Did no one else find that the AA guns raped infantry as it was?

imo if the AA gun was only effective against air, it would make the tank too easily countered by ground units (tanks and engies). As of now, AA drivers have to steer clear of any enemy tanks, and have to be extra careful near buildings because of engineers' tendencies to SMAW it from behind.
Anyway, according to the notes, SCAR-H got nerfed, but honestly, I don't feel any difference, whether it's me killing with it, or getting killed by it. IRNV scopes also seem to be unchanged so I'm going to abuse that thing until it's nerfed to oblivion.

i used the IRNV for a bit, it feels like cheating. its basically a screen filter. i played really well with it but it just sticks out in battlefield like a sore thumb. everything else in the game are real weapons. the IRNV as it is in the game is just made up fantasy

Slight tangent - My best mate and I teamed up the other night, he was recon with 12x scope and I was assult(medic) with an IRNV scope. I acted as his spotter, given I could see everything with my IRNV and called out positions to him. we were playing on a hardcore server so hitting "Q" was fairly useless so I had to describe everything to him to great effect.
I really enjoyed acting as a spotter - he might have got the kills and in the end the better score but the whole teamwork thing was very satisfying.
I think when the IRNV is used in that context it is perfectly acceptable but when it is used as a primary scope for anyone going around getting kills for themselves its a tad OP.
I dont know about you guys but maybe they could get rid of the IRNV scope on rifles etc and create a new kit gadget - the IRNV spotting scope. I would have it work like it was on a bipod so that it has a limited turning range and is effectivly 'stuck' to the surface it is being used on. the purpose of it would be to simply help spot hard to see enemy or enemy gadgets for other players.
You could also apply it for lone recon guys who operate as an overwatch\pure recon.
I think it would be pretty cool.

that doesnt sound very console oriented there.
too much teamwork and not enough camping and/or spamming.
sounds like a great idea, it will never fly.

To make myself feel better, I told myself the evil people on the other team are using it to so I'm merely using it to make the ground even

oh i noticed something, i think its the new patch, the docking area underneath the aircraft carrier where the boats spawn has added ambiance.
seriously, the lighting has been improved (mood lighting i think) and there's steam rising from the water. it looks like a rather inviting spa

Your right and wrong. The US Army are trialing out a new Thermal/IR (AN/PSQ-20) but its not in active use (Except 10th MD). They look VERY similar.

agree with slato,^^
i have witnessed first hand what thermal imaging looks like...
to get it right in a game when dealing with pixels would be super hard, they are close, but no cigar..
