I uninstalled the game today. I'm sick of DICE and their pathetic excuses. Battlefield is dead.

Where did this come from? You're like a 65 colonel, so its not like you haven't gotten your moneys worth, but was it something in particular?

Am I the only person on this thread that thinks that it should have been left alone since day one launch (other than the falling through the maps fixes/glitches)...

From my understanding... weapons are not the same in real life... some vehicles are more powerful than others... soldiers don't complain in real life - they adjust, adapt, and find a way when odds are against them... isn't that how BF3 is suppose to play

I pretty much agree with this, although I dont mind the USAS + Frag nerf. I actually think the beta was the best version of BF3. Now I pretty much just play Metro and use the default guns. Came full circle. lol
 
I was just in a BTR, stole it/repaired to 100% and moved out. I get locked on by a jav but I'm out the open and I have no idea where the lock is coming from. Few seconds later, BAM dead. It was pretty much a perfect shot, perpendicular to the rear but still.

Wow.

I completely agree! I loved it at launch but the more they tinker with it the worse it gets.

Holy God this patch sucks dick. I understand nerfing the USAS, but why ruin the rounds for every other shotgun? Why not apply a weapon specific nerfing. Also wtf is up with the damage/hit boxes? I'm hitting people square in the chest with 4 or 5 bursts from the g36 and barely damaging them. I'll get murked, and then right after a team mate will kill them and I only get something like a kill assist 43. Game's almost unplayable for me now. Went from about 1:1 K😀 to 1:6 or so

frag rounds should be the same for all other shotguns, only the USAS got changed
Patch Notes said:
Fixed the Rate of Fire when the USAS and MK3A1 are equipped with FRAG rounds. All other shotguns correctly had a reduced rate of fire with frags, except the USAS and MK3A1.

all they did was change the number of pellets IIRC for buckshot, everything else should be the same. on metro most people arent using frag rounds anymore, i really only see buckshot now.

as for the hitboxes IDK if its wep specific or they changed something but sometimes it seems to take 20 bullets to kill people 2 feet from you who arent moving, and other times peopel die in a couple of bullets

my K/D and W/L have both gone up since the patch. I have noticed a lot of lower level players now, which coudl be a result of the buy unlocks but whatever. there are also a TON of servers now (PS3) because of the rent a server thing, which TBH is pretty amazing. game to game turnover is higher however

I bought mw3 from the Russian key site when it came out. Worst $15 I ever spent. Never even play it.

Btw I havent played BF3 in months, wtf did they do with the aek? Things has huge recoil at range. I started using the an94 and was kicking ass.

65 -14 my first game and still carrying my squad to wins in sqdm and tdm. I guess years of counterstrike never leave you.

Nice change of pace/style game IMO, can never go wrong with trolling the shit out of 12 year olds over the mic. I don't plan to buy any DLCs, just need it to hold me over while I find something new to screw around with before I have to start working 40hr/week in the summer.

If you are fully suppressed your accuracy goes out the window. Your recoil chevrons can be as wide as the screen.

thats understandable if someone is shooting at you, however when im shooting at someones back 5 yards away not taking any fire it does not
 
How to "fix" tanks seeming weak.

Engineers only get short - short/medium range weapons. Cuts down on the sheer number of engineers because there is so little penalty to playing one. Shotguns and PDW only.

If people hate Tanks now, they must have hated them in BF2. Shots to the front took like 4 rockets to kill, while shots to the back took 2, and finally the tiny "critical" point that takes 1 shot to kill. The way it should be. Repairing took forever, encouraged less playing like an idiot. Also whoever thought that making the welding torch bright eye blinding blue, and making the repair circle in the middle of the map also blue... right above the welding torch needs to be fired for lacking common sense and any knowledge of how to make a UI. (Actually, fire the entire UI team, they obviously don't know how to make a UI after 4 months of time to fix)

And bring back the AT4.

Played for over an hour last night (or early this morning)...

Jets: Heavy break is no longer working?! :colbert:

Chopters: Getting shot at makes different sounds now, Battlebus chain gun is weaker, and takes longer to reaper...

Attack Chopters and Jets rockets looks different now...:|

I threw 2 C4 on a mobile AA & tank and it didn't kill them when they have that reactive armor?!

2 never killed em?

Nope... one time I put 3 x C4 on a mobile AA for good measure and they still didn't die - then he saw me and ran me over - eh, the irony! (Roadkill_626)

I don't remember taking this much C4 to kill a tank or mobile AA...:|

Something is different. I can't use heavy brake but I'm pretty sure others have, I shot a mig down with the battlebus gun easily so I think others have found a way. Maybe there's a update to the remapping software or something, dunno.

Heavy brake seems to have disappeared. The default brake has been improved though, letting you slow down to a crawl.
