I never viewed it as a clone. COD single player pretty much attempts to put the player in an over the top Hollywood war movie. While the BF3 campaign does have its cinematic moments, it feels more focused on making the player feel like he is actually in a war zone. It is far more tactical and procedure based. In the end though, I find both game's campaigns to be fun.
So how do you guys like the new patch? We can finally quite between rounds woot!
I haven't tried playing squad deathmatch yet but hopefully they have fixed the problem where you and your squad get put into different squads. It's so annoying. My friends and I will form a squad and then when we get into a game we are on separate squads.
I was hoping they would do something about weapons changing every time you switch factions. Nope. Every time I am the RU the AK is selected and I have to manually change it. So annoying.
My friend is pretty ticked off they removed the longest range scope for one of the guns he uses. I can't remember which gun it is but he said the gun is useless for him now and has been using it for months. It seemed like they removed scopes and various attachments for some of the weapons. I'm guessing this is all in the name of creating a level playing field. I get that there are certain setups that good players can dominate with but isn't the solution for the bad players to get better? Why punish good players because the bad ones whine?

Haven't played since the patch. But the removed scope is probably the 12x one and the weapons, probably the ones introduced with Back to Karkand. Tbh, it's pretty stupid to have a 12x on a HK53 or LMG...
And the thing you talked about weapon change, at the beginning I too thought it was some kind of bug. But that "bug" only appears with the standard weapons of each class.
Assault: AK74M, M16A3
If you played in one round as a Russian assault with AK74M equipped and in the next round you're US you automatically are equipped with the M16A3. But if you used the FAMAS as a Russian and then are a US you keep the FAMAS equipped.
Another question regarding the standard weapons. You can't "level" them in the other faction, can you? E.g. You want level unlock the gadgets of the AK74M while playing US.

Yeah, I think so too but some people like to play that way. It really doesn't bother me though since 3.4x is the longest range scope I use anyway.

Yeah, I only notice it with the standard weapons. It doesn't switch if I use something I unlocked. It's still pretty annoying though since I use the M4A1 and it's always switching me to the AKS-74u.

I think you can. I'm pretty sure I have unlocked attachments for the M4A1 while playing as the RU. I haven't really been paying attention though since I use the HOLO sight and foregrip and have no intention of using anything else I unlock for it. I'll try to pay attention next time and let you know.

Hm, would be cool if anyone can confirm that. I try leveling the support's standard weapons but as far as I have observerd it doesn't work (or doesn't work anymore because I too was of the opinion that it worked).

Well, I went and checked and looks like you can't level up another faction's weapons. If you select another faction's weapon the progress bar goes down to zero. I played as the US using the AKS-74u and had about 25 kills but the weapon stayed at zero. Then when I was the RU, I selected it and it showed it had progress. I also checked the M4A1 and it showed no progress. I then switched to the US and the M4A1 showed progress but the AK didn't
So I guess it's a no. :-\
I also figured out why the weapons keep changing. You have to change the weapons for each faction. They each have separate configurations. I never noticed that.
