Stats
-Fixed stats and acheivements being awarded when they shouldn't have been and sometimes not saving stats on ranked servers. This requires a global
stat and achievement reset which will be happening soon.
-Fixed several number display issues in the profile menu and after action report
-Honor, class, and weapon experience are all currently doubled to help make up for stats lost to the reset
-A new achievement has been added which is unlocked simply by playing RO2 during the double xp for players affected by the stat reset
Gameplay
-Reloading can be interrupted by melee or switching weapons
-Fixed quick grenade not returning to the previously equipped weapon
-Fixed team wounding counting as kill
-Fixed kill assists not showing up all the time
-Fixed Countdown Time to Beat being always 0
-Fixed timers showing wrong numbers in the single player campaign
-Fixed tank AI being able to see through smoke
-Fixed tank cannon smoke shells not blocking any AI vision
Stability & Performance
- Major optimization pass on all maps should increase performance across the board
- Reduced Alt-Tab crashing
- Fixed post-processing preset resetting itself in the video settings menu
- Fixed glowing outline/rainbow colors around the screen for certain machines
- Fixed a bug causing all audio to cut out after a map change
- Graphical improvements to environments, weapons and vehicle interior - areas or vehicles/weapons not in direct sunlight now have working specularity which will help make normal maps more visible and textures to look less flat
- New Umbra release and optimization
- General CPU optimizations
Server
-Fix for commandline setting of webadmin values not saving after multiple map changes
Geez 3.4Gb for all of that. Hopefully it's worth it!
Steam doesn't support delta patching files.
Yet, anyway. Wish they would get around to implementing it like they've been talking about.
Game still runs like garbage for me.
Mix of medium and high settings, no AA, still dips below 30 fps. Battlefield 3 runs better. Will never buy another Tripwire product again at this point.
I also cannot believe they still don't have an option to filter out servers with bots. I mean seriously?
EDIT: Lol, the last three servers I joined had a bunch of bots. Ridiculous.
Stat tracking is still broken. I've played entire rounds start to finish (as per TWI) and my stats still don't update like they should. BF3 beta is ending so I guess I'll have to live with it for a couple weeks.
Still plenty of people playing it, especially with the patches that fixed a lot of the issues, and the double XP.
Tried playing on the 7th cav server again after the latest patch though and it said at the end of the map that it wasn't a ranked server anymore for some reason.
I find that =7Cav= and SFSS have fluctuating latency and are filled with people who have ~300ms pings. Strange thing is pre-release they were both awesome servers to play on with little to no network lag.
I forget what servers I play on now but they are not it.

The latest patch fixed the stats system for me. Now I'm putting a bunch of time into RO2 - now I remember how frustrating this game can be taking me back to RO and Darkest Hour. Losing quite a few games because my team usually sucks and can't move into the cap. This is one game where no matter how well you do, you can't carry your team
Also, the 7th cav server lags HARD. It's a fairly low pinging server when it isn't lagging (hence why I play on it), but over the weekend it was unplayable about 2/3's of the time.
There's only about 5 servers I can play on that are consistently full AND <100ms ping
Just noticed another server decided to jack our server name in hopes of trying to steal players or something, anything that can be done about this via removing rank or something?
208.167.249.45:27015 =7Cav=Tactical Realism <- Us
206.63.81.10:27015 =7Cav=Tactical Realism <- Fake
I wouldn't compare this to Crysis 2 at all. This game is gonna be played for years, period.
P.S. there's a fake 7Cav server too, unless that was killed in the meantime. Make sure to play on the correct one.

See you on the (real) battlefield
No, you wont, because this game is a pile of dogshit.
If you have the opt int beta when the game goes live you will have less to download (if nothing at all) if the latest released RC becomes the live build.

your loss honey
classic mode plays much better than it looks on paper, trust me.
Action mode is ideal for beginners too, the weapon damage is reduced so it's much more forgiving than the other 2 modes, i haven't touched vanilla version since february but i had quite a good time with the beta build, there were so many steam group events recently where you could play with the Devs and have lots of fun, even with 200ping since clientside lag compensation is now finally enabled
The game has it all, a heavily modidied unreal 3 engine which looks brilliant ( even with dof / motion blur turned off ) cover system - commo rose - commander role - mod tools - dedicated servers - pc exclusive - free content updates (you hear that DICE ? ) and 2 total conversions ( rising storm & in country ) in the making, supported by the devs themselves.
tomorrow's update will be HUGE -> http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=79061
I suggest the ppl who already own the game to download the optin beta today so they will have to download less data tomorrow when the official giga-patch will be released
Give this gem a try ppl, it's pc exclusive after all
What, you haven't played it in 4 months? And you only played ~20 hours. Must be amazing.
It says 1st of April not 4th of January you smartass
And yes, the beta build was much more interesting to play because of the classic mode and other stuff, vanilla version was left without updates for almost six months http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=69895
Oh, my mistake sorry.
Make that 35 hours, and 6.4 in the last two weeks.
The community of the game is already small and until yesterday it was split in 2 (beta and vanilla build), hence the free weekend and the mega-update
I work 9-12 hours everyday including weekends, i also have a GF and most of my online friends prefer playing BF3 in their spare time, (haven't managed to convert them .... yet ) I also have a big backlog and my steam account is usually recording ~ 40hrs of playtime - last two weeks MAX,
do the math just because I don't play much it doesn't mean that this game doesn't deserve any attention, there are other multiplayer games i wanna play too, nuclear dawn - goldeneye source - payday - gotham city impostors etc what am i supposed to do ? clone myself ?
I run an OPAP retail shop (http://www.opap.gr/en/web/corporate.opap.gr/10) we have like 5.000 of them in greece, these shops are open like 360 days a year, ask any opap agent, most of us feel like slaves
