Battlefield 3 Patch Notes Are Lengthy, Not Done Yet

Battlefield 3

Brew up a pot of coffee, Battlefield 3 fans. This is going to take awhile. Looking at the 2011 game, and really the series as a whole, it's easy to see that DICE subscribes to the philosophy of "go big or go home." That thinking extends to the studio's approach to issuing patches as well, and the next one that's coming to BF3 sure is a doozy.

A new Battlelog post runs through an exhaustive list of fixes and tweaks that will be coming soon to basically every facet of the game. And it's not even finished! More changes to the proposed patch notes will be made in the coming days. There's no plan yet for the timing of the patch release, but it IS coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Presumably PC first and then the consoles... eventually.

    Being a combat vet, I am sorry to inform you all DICE has done us all a great injustice.I agree with stopping the use of the mav as an elevator lift,but why would you make it so snipers could'nt get into the tall buildings like strike at karkand.I know why because some kid who can't snipe in the first place would cry about it and they would patch it.I don't want to sound critical or nothing,but this is suppose to be a combat like simulator.I think most of you would agree that being in an M1 ABRHAMS and getting taken out by 1 RPG by some hacker is a little more upsetting,really reactive armor and i;m done now that is true fantasy.My all time favorite now 500 to 600 meters I fire my perfect shot and what do i see in my crosshairs what the hell is it,oh a big white ball, hey i am shooting golf balls now.My13 year old thinks it is pretty funny. Last but not least the mortar it was actually retarted to begin with never mind the new patch It was bad enough before that you had to find a perfectly flat piece of ground to even deploy it.I ran around the other day Grand Bazzar because i can not deploy it at the base. I ran every where with this thing waist high and could not deploy, at one point i saw an enemy trying to do the same thing ,i put a bullet in his head to stop the shame.I could never imagine some soldier in the mountains somewhere in AFGHANISTAN not being able to deploy his mortar because of terrain.In combat I could only wish for an assortment of weapons to choose from instead of crying that this one is more powerful then that one.we created laser designators for the purpose of not missing,really view some footage of desert storm.And last but not least in the real world if you flew in my air space i'd have a stinger up your tail pipe so fast fast,oh I know you would be mad because that should'nt of happened. combat is hell,unless your hacking

    Good by to you MAV sluts.

    You can spot and get kills like the rest of us.

    Finally I have a chance to take down those scout choppers on Canals. One went 60-0 simply because no one could shoot it down. It wasn't for lack of trying I can tell you that much. And the stationary AT sucked hard, glad it's getting a buff too.

    Hardcore mode, all the way. Seriously plays like standard without health regeneration, LAME! Any sniper, i dont care if they are noob and its a lucky shot or a vet with mad skills, a sniper hit should he 1 hit kill everytime. Seriously need to fix the hardcore mode. Some gun mechanics, power, etc... BF2 was badass in hardcore mode. 2 die 4!

    i could use a more responsive knife animation since i tend to get myself killed when the animation doesnt work properly

    I just want them to do minor tweaks to the G3A3. For starters, the gun only has 21 bullets, High recoil and slow fire rate. It also uses the same ammo as the L96 in the game which makes it kind of stupid. They don't have to up it much at close range but they definitely need to tweak the long range on it. That's what it should excel at. Same thing for the Scar. And if you're going to tell me that's OP, take into deep consideration what I wrote before.

    The whole "laser designation can be broken with flares" thing scares me. I know they increased the cool down time for flares, but how then are choppers supposed to be killed? Taking down a chopper with guided shells just makes me happy.
    The claymores being removed when the support dies is nice. As well as no more MAV lifts/roadkills.

    I am insanely happy about the MAV changes. My main issue was with players using the MAV as an elevator. I would love to see a real soldier climb on top of an MAV and ride it up to a rooftop. That thing would never have enough power to lift a person. It's mainly a huge deal on Tehran Highway, everyone always seems to do it to get on the overpass.

    Also, having it explode when it kills a soldier is just icing on the cake. Now, games should have more people actually playing instead of having 3 or 4 enemy/friendly MAV's up in the air just trying to ram people.

    okay I read the patch list and everything is great but why would they make it so flares would distract a guided missile ??? whats the point of ecm ?? I love killing noobs that hit the ecm when im guiding missile them then wonder how they died lol and the fact that guided missiles can no longer hit air targets is completely retarded

    I think that more assist points should be given for players who use the SOFLAM against vehicle targets. Just for the simple fact that it is a team effort when doing it. It's a little ridiculous that the person that fires the missile gets 250 points for the kill when the person who uses the SOFLAM to target the enemy gets a measly 10 points.

    they need to scrap the vehicles in squad death match as well. basically the whole match becomes who can get to the armored vehicle first. also they need fix the tact light. teammates should not be blinded by another teammates tact light. same goes for laser pointers and grenades. there shouldnt even be a friendly grenade locater if the grenade doesnt give damage to teammates. those are the things that bother me the most right now.

    I sure as hell hope they fix the knifing aspect of the game. You could button mash the knife button and it still would not go into the animation even if you were breathing on the back of the guy's neck. If I'm lucky I can 4 of 5 knife kills a match whereas when there wasn't a glitch I could get 7 or 8.

    I wish they would fix hardcore team death match. I don't like the map being on the HUD and the health is set a bit to high. Bad Co. 2 had a perfect set up for the hardcore mode. I only play hardcore for online shooters and this is the reason I haven't played BF3 for a long time.

    I could use a new patch, I can't even play the campaign without it crashing. I start a mission and it goes black and says some along the lines of, "Connection to EA Online Host was Lost" which I don't understand if I'm playing single player.
