Suppression is a broken mechanic. Don't get me wrong, a game like this need suppression, but Battlefield 3 handles it poorly. If the game tells you that your sights are lined up and you pull the trigger, wouldn't the most logical thing to happen involve the bullet going where it's supposed to? Nope, apparently the most logical thing would involve bullets exiting the barrel at impossible 45 degree angles.
Maybe they could make it so your aim flinches around every time a bullet cracks by rather than forcing bullets to fly in random directions, so you can still win a 1v1 situation if you have enough control. I don't know, something logical.
Wait, maybe I have the wrong idea of what the suppression patch did. Did it change accuracy? Because I have noted a huge huge drop in accuracy lately.
afaik they only increased the duration of suppression cause by bullets further away from you. They did not increase the effect or area by which you could be suppressed. The bullets that's not superclose but just, close you to you do more then they did before. So it's much easier to suppress an opponent and the opponent will notice that he's "more" suppressed and will be heavily suppressed much more often.
The area that passing bullets can suppress you was increased, and being suppressed increases your bullet spread.
@DyEnasTy Right now the RPK with extended mag is really good because it is essentially an AR with 200 rounds. I'm assuming that is probably going to get patched through. All HMGs (PKP, M60, M240B) were buffed to the pkp damage so all of them can drop people very quickly in most ranges. The LMGs all do post patch AR damage but have a higher RoF than the HMGs.
It really depends on what you like, I don't play support much but right now a 200 round RPK is really nice. I also like the M249 due to it having a RoF of 800 which is really nice. The MG36 with Hbar might be nice, just try out each gun and see what fits you best.
I have been using the crap out of the RPK. And I dont remember seeing an extended mag option for it, but ill check again. I dont like the gun that is unlocked right after that (cant remember what its called) because I could pour myself a cocktail in the amount of time it takes to reload. I unlocked the PKP but am having a hard time wanting to use it because I only have the iron sights and that gun takes up so much of my screen while aiming.
All the machine guns except, M27IAR, RPK, QBB and MG36 take forever to reload but then again 3 seconds+ is still really long. You could always look on here at the MGs and decide yourself which one you want to use, or just trying them in game with the attachments that fit your style.

Play on metro or damavand peak and get on those long corridors with your PKP if you wanna get the 10 kills to unlock a scope for it quickly. The PKP does look awkwardly big on your screen with just the iron sights, so you might wanna try pump firing with it if you think it looks too awkward: Like what the guy does here:
I stopped using my M249 as much when I unlocked the PKP. It's a pretty darn good MG.

this glitch is a huge pain in the ass.
Oh I got destroyed by that as well the other day, I just shrugged it as wtf and kept playing had no idea about the glitch. Think I only got killed by it once or twice though so didn't realise there was something wrong.
My friend was in love with the Scar-H before the patch. He doesnt know any of the exact changes (except the suppression ones) but now he doesnt like it as much. I think playing as the engineer class in general is difficult for me. I cant find a gun i like.
edit: after watching some of those gun reviews on you tube, im gonna try the AK-74m.

g36c or m4 are great. dont like most of the others/didnt try them, after patch. g36 got a buff afair and m4 was unchanged so they still should be good ~~
The Scar-H got a min damage buff (17 -> 20) The recoil decrease was nerfed from 15 -> 13 (I am not 100% sure what this does but it has something to do with recentering your gun between shots, higher values are better). The only other changes are attachments which is mostly the culprit for making it feel different etc.
FFS IS THERE A WAY TO FIX THIS STUPID RUBBER BANDING!??!?! it's so random, sometimes i don't get it and sometimes i do. I had to quit playing 48 or 64 player games because of the horrendous rubber banding. My PC is good enough to run this at ultra setting, so could this be the network issue? or is it the server?!?!? Is there NO WAY to fix this?! It makes this great game unplayable.
Imagine you are trying to run but there is a rubber band around your waist pulling you back.. it's basically like that in game. It generally happens when you have really high ping, aka internet issue.
Who the fuck actually knows how to fly planes good? Seriously if you do i would love for you to make some sort of guide i would love you forever, i don't get to play that often (I play on my friends computer back home when i can). But i have been trying to get good at flying, literally i spend 4 hours one day in just a flight training and i was getting so pissed cause i couldn't get decent
I can fly and do barrel rolls but in a dog fight i get owned like OWNED

Don't need Close Quarters for that, lol <3
If you want to become good at flying, get a Joystick first and then train and train and train so you can abuse Jets and rape everything that exists in that game and be happy :D

I had to quit the game for a week because it got so bad. Its probably your internet, cause thats what my issue ended up being.
I don't think it's my internet... I am frequently doing the internet speed test and I am getting about 11 MB/s. I surf and watch youtube and download stuff totally fine at very fast speed. The only thing lagging and pissing me off is BW and BF3.
