Balance changes in 1.4?

I don't see any notes from the new patch about headshot being nerfed or recoil being increased, but why are people talking about them?

I don't feel the differences at all. Jackal single shot spread is still very small, Felines are still a beast, Scar and Scarabs still fires like a laser gun/ no recoil. Jaw rocket speeds still looks the same.

I'm thinking that they might not have release the patch for PC yet.

That list said it there was going to be balance changes but apparently when you play, there's none.

It's a promise list that hasn't been done yet -_- besides, the official patch notes didn't indicate the balance changes are made yet.

I'm pretty sure Crytek is working to balance it out right which is why they didn't release it with v1.4. Like, come on, Scar needs more spread than scarab PLUS buffing up the grenade would just kill the need to use the other explosives.
