yea snipe has damage has been increased, i cant wait to see the new gun stats...hopefully someone will post them tomorrow. I gotta say HS mode is extremely fun for me, i actually do better than most people because no one is used to zooming what can make this game better? some how replace L Trigger (360 version) with zoom. hold LT to zoom via cod4. if this cant be implemented in the game, i hope for REALISTIC gun stats soon

great patch! nice 1 Ubisoft, thanks 4 listening

It sounds as If they use the same type of spawning that GRAW1 has?! Tangos coming out In groups? And, you just pile up the bodies?
But,I kinda like GRAW so This will be fine also
However, In graw they seem to pop up right next to you (that I hate) anyway, Will be nice to give It a try on the pc----->

Had exactly the same thoughts... Bind the Zoom functionality on the L. trigger would def. promote the usage of zoom, expacially in those split second situations. Pressing the right thumb to zoom can throw off ones aim...

played hs mode tonight, and it was very fun. as posted above, it's definitely made easier with team mates, or at the very least communication. i never had a whole lot of use for the cover system in the first place (with the right angle, you can headshot someone out of cover, i prefer to always face forward) so the zoomed in effect hasn't really bothered me. my friends and i took some practice shots at a wall from behind cover without scoping in, and the grouping is all over the place, then we scoped in and the difference in accuracy is amazing. after that little test, in dm and team leader i simply moved carefully with a reflex scope on my g36c in single shot, and absolutely owned people running around full auto and taking cover. the clean hud makes a surprising difference in battlefield awareness IMO and overall i'm really glad this mode exists. i agree ubisoft is still on my feces list, but high stakes mode is a great gaming experience. i'll second anti's post by saying that it is NOT reminiscent of cod4's hc modes. the gameplay is much more deliberate and paced. unless you're an unfortunate run 'n gunner, in which case, you're dead a whole lot quicker. haven't tried the t hunt yet, once we played a couple of games, i didn't want to quit high stakes. in fact, i'm going back online to play more. i'll see you all online.

Full auto Run 'n Gun abusing the auto-aim-assist was the reason i stopped playing Vegas 2. High Stakes makes precision aiming, single shotting and moving slowly usefull again! In High Stakes mode you will see the use of more different weapons also, the Famas (abusing the auto-aim) isn't working like before the patch no more.

Yea huge improvements but i hope another patch in the future will be just as nice as this one by adding:

* New Game Modes (Maybe a new co-op mode? Althought that would be probably asking for a new game.)
* New Outfitting (weapons/Gear/Camo colors)
* Larger Maps (For snipers)


More bug fixes are always welcomed and unfortunately the sound loop problem still persist even with this patch but not as frequent as before atleast not for me.

ubisoft should add a controller option making the L trigger a zoom button and erase the cover system completely, THIS IS A CONTROL OPTION. for those who still use the cover system, go ahead with default controller settings. I want this cuz its easier, simpler, and because after HS mode, i stopped using it completely. there is no point in the cover system anymore because shooting from the cover system gives more recoil than shooting while standing still while in scope...cover system was only good in non HS mode

anyway, HS is absolutely awesome, less grenades = less spam, no auto aim = more realistic/challenging, no thirdperson cover system problem = no camping. how it can be better? read AntiPersonnel's posts on his ideas
