Battlefield 3 Patch and Rent-A-Servers

What do y'all think about the patch? Did any of your favorite guns take a hit or get a boost?

I'm really enjoying the high ticket server battles on Xbox 360. It's great to see this kind of server customization come to the console, and it's very satisfying to be able to engage in longer battles. Anyone found any cool servers?

I enjoy the patch except for two things:

It seems like the famas is really terrible now, and people seem to be making a lot of 500% ticket games. I like longer games but not a 30 minute game of TDM every time. lol
