Battlefield 3

    There are rumors of e-sport functionality in battlelog, spectator-mode, battlelog class-modification and toned down postprocessing on some maps.

    Come on DICE, I know you can support this game! I'm happy with half of those!!! In fact, I'm probably happy with the changes already promised.

    battlelog class-modification

    I'd be happy with just this. Or an easier way to get to the weapon customization screen while in game. Even on PC, it's a (minor) hassle, since it feels like every second messing around in that menu is time I'm not playing the game.

    C4 will no longer be detonable after a player respawns, if the player is revived within 5 seconds he can still detonate his C4.

    guys, OK ? shit you see this ?? THIS WAS THE BEST WAY TO TROLL EVAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Looking at that video it seems the console UI is completely different, but in the PC version you can simply click each weapon on the spawn screen and immediately swap it with any other weapon in your arsenal via a small pop-up — same applies for specialisations, etc. I don't think it could really be any more streamlined.

    Oh, neat. I never knew that was there.

    I do swap weapons a lot though, can never decide whether I like the AN-94 or M16A3 best. I am forever switching between them believing it to be 'the one' and becoming disillusioned within minutes.

    I'll give you a hint

    it's not russian and it's an m16a3

    Master it's recoil and firing pattern and it's the best gun in the game; no doubt. Clan matches are essentially, in 4on4 SQ Rush/5on5 conquest atleast, "m16-field".

    ok

    -don't know why and who made that decision but now there is no warmup time ( you just jump straight in to battle, no time to customize weapon and shit)

    -in rush, attacking side now have choppers and tanks, defending got SHIT (i'm talking about BACK TO KARKAND maps)

    -c4 is gone after death (i know this is my personal thing, but still it is shitty IMO)

    -chopper got flairs too fast (11 sec right ?) it is fucking impossible (almost) to shoot down a chopper by yourself

    -still, c4 bug not fixed

    this are the major shits IMO

    ok there are some good points like better team managment

    1. can't comment

    2. maybe i won't fall asleep as a defender now... (a lot of maps greatly favor the defender)

    3. THANK YOU DICE!!!

    4. can't comment

    5. which c4 bug? spawnrape one?

    c4 bug - that one, when you are dropping c4, and before the animation is finished and you will change weapon/hop into a vechicle you won't be able to detonate c4, you will just drop new c4's on a ground

    I'm not sure what it is with helicopters and jets: as soon as I hop in one, instantly shot down by a SAM. I'll fire flares, instantly retargeted and shot down. If I'm the poor bastard on the ground firing the SAM, no kills. Seriously, my stats for the MANPAD SAMs: 223 missiles fired, 4 kills. More than 50 shots to get one kill. .08 kills a minute. I know it's not just kills that matter, but as far as I can tell, I don't even slow the jets down. They don't have to dodge or break off their attack, they just pop flares.There aren't any stats for vehicles disabled, which might be more interesting. Accuracy is about 20%. Am I just using them incorrectly? Tracking a jet, get lock, fire, jet pops flares. Reload, target same jet (if it's even in range still), get lock, he pops flares again. That's if I'm not shot in the meantime.

    The only way to get a kill seems to be working together with another engineer with a SAM, which is almost impossible in pub games. You'd have to sync it so the first one fires, jet pops flares, and second SAM fires just after that. Then maybe the missile will reach before he gets flares again.

    okay, jumped right into a 4on4 clan game with the new patch (first experience of the patch!)

    It feels like they have done a overhaul of the postprocessing and done some performance tweaks... the maps look a bit unfamiliar, right? The game looks better now imho. I like a lot of the changes/general fixes so far! I'm a bit torn on suppression; I feel they may have gone too far with it (you're very easily suppressed atm). I only used M16A3 with my standard loadout during the match and so did everyone else, so can't say too much about the new weapon balancing yet. Looking forward to trying new attachment+weapon combos in pubgames.
