Why dont they just make your accuracy worst while jumping. No more jumping to toss c4 on flag it seems...meh.

You should be able to jump+shoot. Removing this does decrease the overall skill level of infantry combat. Dolphin diving was an exploit and should of been removed a long time ago.

Weaken the m203 vs infantry - a good overall change....this is why jumping was so effective, you could get a better arc on the 203.

The removal of Jump+ Shooting is overkill.
This change will make the game much more linear,
no throwing c4 onto flag capping choppers,
no jump firing a SAW over a wall to take out a tank,
and no more evading a player once you are in his sights (this DOES require skill).

BTW, beware of tanks, they will dominate the battlefield. One of my specialties :)

The rest of the changes, especially regarding air power, are long overdue and welcome.

I have never played a second of any battlefield game but the names of these exploits do make me laugh. Dolphin diving, bunny hopping

I wish someone would post a video of these exploits because it sounds ridiculous. A supposedy realistic video game where people can jump and then go prone... what the hell is that?

a big fuck you to the bunnyhoppers/dolphindivers & M203/GP30-whores who said "It's how the game was made, deal with it" No: it's an exploit and it's being fixed. Time to find some skill fuckheads

Finally a good interview.

Although I agree with #1, he should have asked about the jets/AA issues. Hopefully they will be fixed.
