4.2.0 Patch notes that caught my eye
The EMKV90-TOR no longer shakes as it sits on rugged terrain in siege mode." <-- its about time they fixed that!
"Stealth helicopters that have been hit with the Tracer Dart can now be locked onto, even in Stealth mode." <-- uh oh
"Added Cyber Warfare Protection to the CAV-Brawler" <-- wait, so the brawl bus cant be hacked ?
The HUD no longer flickers while attempting to drive a vehicle in an elevator on Exposure." <-- I thought that was a rather interesting detail, the "ride of the elevator" was reflected on the HUD's moving around. This should not have been removed, it was a non-factor.
"Fixed an issue that was causing the Prompt Reload option to keep appearing despite being disabled in the options menu." <-- thank god, that was actually annoying, i always turn off the reload prompts, and it being forced back as a bug always kept taking my eye off my sights and down to the flashing "RELOAD"
"The EOD Bot was getting a bit too friendly with Boris' SG-36 Sentry Gun and instead of repairing it, would pick it up. Not figuratively speaking, don’t ask us how that would have looked, an EOD Bot rolling down the hills of Flashpoint with a Sentry Gun on it. Anyway, this will no longer take place and it will repair the turret instead, as intended." <-- NGL, i would love to have seen that! does anyone have any footage of this?
"Soldiers will now become spotted on the minimap upon firing or throwing the following items: Smoke Grenade Launcher, SPH Explosive Launcher, Recoilless M5, Javelin and FXM-33." <-- Okay, i fully understand getting spotted for shooting off a Rocket Launcher, but only popping off a smoke grenade from a launcher? any 40 mike mike should result in you getting spotted, 30/40 mike mike launchers are actually quite loud.
"Dozer's Ballistic Shield will no longer deflect/ricochet Sundance's Scatter Grenade." <-- but will still deflect TOR Rounds, Tank Rounds, 25mm APDS and/or anything that that should 100% result in you getting VAPORIZED. This is a problem with Dozer, that shield is stupid in the fact it can deflect a RAILGUN sabot, or a 25mm Armor Piercing Round, hell, RPT-31's AP Rounds should be going through it if not weakening it. Dozer's Shield needs a lifespan like Irish's barrier. If you can destroy Irish's barrier, Dozer's shield should also wear out as munitions impact it. no armor is bullet PROOF, let alone from a TANK ROUND!!!
"Doors that were previously controlled by the enemy team will now automatically open upon getting close to them rather than having to hold the interact button." <-- this is stupid, its controlled by the enemy team for a REASON, now doors are just basically free for all regardless of who controls them.
