Battlefield 3 Weapon Attachments To Be Tweaked

Battlefield 3 Pre-Orders Get You Free Stuff With Select Retailers

For all of its completely baffling interface quirks (seriously DICE... no menu access between matches?!), Battlefield 3 offers one of the most impressive large-scale multiplayer modern war simulators out there. More than that, DICE continues to be on top of supporting the game with updates meant to improve your experience. It seems that the next one will focus, at least in part, on further perfecting the game's various weapon attachments.

DICE core gameplay designer Alan Kertz took to Reddit during the holiday break with a proposed list of changes (via CVG). You can read all about it in great detail at the source -- Kertz not only lists the changes, but also offers the rationale behind each decision -- but it seems that the foregrip, bipod, suppressor, heavy barrel, flash suppressor and target pointer are all set to see some tweaks. Kertz is asking for feedback too, since none of these changes are set in stone just yet, so head over to Reddit and be heard if you have something to add.

    I wish they would stop doing minute changes to weapons and fix the voip for us ps3 guys. Its really annoying playing for hours on end and not be able to talk to anyone. This game has so much potential if we could communicate, but without being able to its just another typical run and gun shooter.

    They should fix the whole situation with not being on the same team as your party

    Most of the commenters here and the author of this article don't even know what they are talking about, for one if you dont play the game and dont use the overpowerd things [Its pretty obvious what kills people easily and unfairly], Then you should have no problem with the updates

    Definitely the "Tactical" Flashlight and the Infrared Scope during daytime. Also when you do use the flashlight and the laser, maybe you should spawn with the item off? I might use them more that way.

    Being able to kill people with the MAV maybe? I understand its usefulness as a spotting tool, but I hate snipers that camp their own spawn on RUSH and just attempt to kill people with the damn
    thing the whole time (However I am guilty of trying)

    If you are sharing a vehicle with someone who isn't in your squad, maybe letting you communicate, I know that you can change the settings to whole team instead of squad chat, but I'd rather just be able to talk to the idiot piloting the heli or driving the tank.

    Of course maybe allowing menu access in between matches, that way you can quit, or organize your squad before the beginning of the next match.

    I have completed most of the Assignments at this point. but it would be nice for people that havent if you could actually see what was left to complete between matches, rather then showing you just that picture, however I guess if you have a laptop you could keep Battlelog on close by, which is what im sure they were going for.

    thats it, I guess I should share this in the right place, but what do you guys think? Also, im Raccaway on Ps3 if you wanna play hit me ip let me know you saw this post on G4!

    Im a all around pilot in BF3, and i think i can speak for all of the aviators in Bf3 when i say that the F-35's need to have more maneuverability. Whenever i fly up against a Su-34 i feel like im flying a tub. And when i hit the breaks to make sharp turns, it puts me into hover-mode. Come on DICE even out the F-35 a bit more.

    the tac light and the laser need to be nerfed. shotguns need a nerf on their effective range, and please for the love of god make it so if you are in a squad on the main screen with your friends, when you spawn into a game you stay on the same team and squad. also we want menu access between games to customize our loadouts.

    I think the whole no laser with a Suppressor is bull.

    I was one of those guys who would put mines all over the map and laugh when I got a kill until the last update ruined it. Removal of blinding your own teamates is the only change I've wanted since it came out

    Despite its flaws, I found BF3 (which is the 1st BF I've ever played) to be highly enjoyable. I trust that Dice is very sincere when it comes to their fans and players, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when they try to improve the game's overall experience.

    The only change that needs to be made is a complete removal of tactical lights. It's getting blinded by the friggen sun.

    It's absolutely ridiculous what they changed in the last update... I mean, Dice's thing with Battlefield has always been that the game is realistic, but when you over-nerf guns for no reason, it's awful. And then when you make tank mines visible on the map, it's even worse.

    There is realistic and then there is boring. This is a game that I can see myself playing for a long time. If I am forced to use the same weapon that whole time I would be bored out of my mind. There has to be a boundry on "realistic", after all it is a game and has to be fun. Why have 80 guns when 1 is better than the rest because that is "realistic". The changes to balance the weapons are good, don't see a problem with a little balance.
