Aside from the aim assist, which seems to favor the AR, SCR, and LR, I can't find anything in this update that I am displeased with.

If the aim assist was toned down a bit, I'm sure many of you would have more positive things to say about 1.4. Nonetheless, this was a good patch.

hmm , youre pretty close to correct there. the patch itself wasn't too bad at all , its just the few REALLY boned things blew the rest way out of proportion. the amount of effort and time that went into the new maps and lighting paid off amazingly.the sounds (while occasionally misplaced) are excellent , and any problems with them are easily fixed anyway..

the downfall of 1.4 was the amount of changes they made at once, tied in with OP aim assist and instafail matchmaking.those two alone wouldn't be TOOO bad, but youll find many dust mercs are people who wont read the whole story..they see rants on the patch and in they go swinging. so yes , the rage blew up pretty fast , but I think with a tone down of aim assist as you say , it will calm much more.other than that and a few other things (DS camera angle,shotgun extinction) 1.4 bought a whole lot of great things into dust
