Awesome - thanks for the quick reply

these updates sound awesome, its too bad i only get to play on the weekend. as for the guy who says SVER is overpowered in pg2, i have the same problems with raven players. pump them with a shotty 2x and they turn and knife me once. its probably the connection between the two players. just because you see it against SVER doesn;t mean its just us.

It's the knife angle, not the reach that was increased.  We were pretty cavalier in 2.0 with trying to fix the knife due to all the complaints we received.  It turned out that you were able to hit people off screen to the sides so we tightened up the angle significantly.  But it ended up being a bit too much since you have to basically be aiming directly at them to hit them.  So it's just a hair wider now but the range remains the same.

What's so bad about aiming with a knife? I got knifed from guys standing in front of me facing away from me!

Where are the servers for for the game located? There are no european servers? Sony shut down the european datacenter some month/years ago.

I have a lag of about 1.5 seconds when in contact with red dots.  I shoot like 20 bullets in body /head of an enemy and get instant hit markers. The 5xp for the kill comes with a delay of 2-3 seconds but I am already dead

The only "planned" kills I can get right now are with grenades.

Hmmm, what exactly will the Clan Deploy performance updates show us?

I'm glad we're able to take pictures now, but I personally think that there should be a video recorder, so we could record videos of when we do good.

I like this idea. This would work better than the % multiplier being used now. It could even work within the story. Certain PMC assets could be unavailable due to the Shadow War shifting to one PMC's favor. While the other PMC could fight to regain assets to attack.

lastest patch WHY!!! WHHHHHYYYYY!!!!! goodbye zipper c u in socom 4

[Super-Pangolin]

Decreased effectiveness of “Marksman Recoil Stability” and “Marksman Steady Aim” skills

WHAT THE **bleep**, ARE YOU **bleep**ING KIDDING ME? Like I'm not penalized enough as it is for using a T2 rifle without a bipod? This patch was looking all sunshine and daisies until I read that, I'll see how it turns out, but that's really a kick in the balls to snipers to prefer that play WITH THE TEAM, ON THE RUN, NOT CAMPING ON A BIPOD.

Interesting, nerf the sniper rifle when people complains more about the shotgun...

Exactly. And the only time people complain about the sniper rifles is when somebody throws down a bipod on their T3 rifle and lays down a rain of OHK shots because the only way they can get kills is by camping. I'm almost certain that this patch won't effect bipod users because the bipod reduces recoil and wander nearly to nil anyway.

I don't see what Zipper are playing at, gimping the on-the-run snipers who actually contribute and play with the team, whilst effectively in-balancing it to reward those who drop down on their chest and live behind a scope the entire match.
