do you have a link to the patch notes? or maybe a copy

Jets have become impossible to control

patch is nice
also antena on caspian now falls down after some random event and kills everyone in radius
I saw chopper owned by this thing

Battlelog changes

>>119473789
>antenna falls
holy shit, I remember coming up with that idea in a /v/ thread

either the devs and I think a like, or someone took that idea and plastered it all over the battlelog forums

>SOFLAM has been buffed hard
>Again
THIS PLEASES ME

>>119474038
They showed footage of it in a trailer a long time ago but it wasn't implemented until now (but the ladder was removed).

Actually while I'm thinking of it did they ever add the ladder back?

>>119473880
do you have a source that doesnt require a origin account?

>>119474038

>implying the exact same thing doesnt happen in singleplayer

>>119474386

http://battlefieldo.com/bf3s-pc-client-patch-r3-server-r11-inbound/

Still doesn't fix the game from being crap.

IRNV Nerfed.
AWWWW YEEEEAAAAH.


At last there will be use of camouflage and terrain in this game.

they added PING when I look at the score with tab.

I am buying the DLC just to thank them for that

>>119474249
if they put ladder back half of the players will fight for place to camp on this mothefucking antena like its some sort of god's heaven
anyway you can get there easily using recon parachute drop
it also has bulletproof invisible walls so you're there completly safe untill people get mad over your killstreak and nuke you with chopper

>>119474641
camouflage has a use?

Do they still force you to look at the player that kills you? Can you chat when a game is done?

>>119474767
cod babby detected
wookie camo raped the shit out of people in BC2

>>119474690

Fucking finally.

I hate not knowing if I'm playing against eurofags with shitty connections.

>>119474641
It's only a nerf at long ranges, unfortunately.

should have just made the solder's gear properly IR absorbant instead of the abortion that is spec-ops camo (which only really helps the US engineer, which should suck at infantry combat

>>119474911

No it didn't....

>>119474767

You'd be surprised how useful it is on Hardcore when no-one nubs with IRNV. You instantly go fucking Snake mode.

Specially on Caspian Border with Woodland camo.


Game instantly feels 10 times more enjoyable.

Claymores no longer despawn after death... but Dice had to make them shown on the minimap in BRIGHT ORANGE to the enemy... WTF?
Oh well, I got my 300 kills before the patch, dogtag and medal, time to switch to engineer like 95% of the pop, they are both superior against infantry AND vehicles.

>>119474720
>>119474720
let them.

then chopper bros and ace pilots have an easy target.

Also the flag next to them forces them to either attack or defend it, or hide and die

>>119474038
even before the game came out devs on twitter said that the antenna is suppose to collapse, cause EA want this game out so early, so many shit is missing or buggy. maybe it explained the 3 gigs update im downloading as we speak.

>>119473339

STILL WAITING FOR PSN TO UPDATE, FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>119475284
Are you getting BTK too?
Could any PS3-dudes tell what it's like?

still no C4 nerf huh.....

>>119474827
No and no.
Killcam can be disabled at the discretion of server admin though. Use server filter (killcam = off).

So jets got FUCKED?

>>119473339
Nerfed the hell out of infrared. Been a week since I played it and gave it a go. Fog everywhere and doesnt it seems like it highlights anything anymore, more like it punishes anyone that uses it.

>>119475204
mines also auto spotted on the map
whole part of guerilla warfare using mines and shit just vanished
quite sad I'd say

LOL at all the babbies complaining about reduced long range accuracy

>>119475401

http://bf3blog.com/2011/12/back-to-karkand-map-overviews/

>>119475413
Why would they nerf C4?
Destruction is sub-part compared to BC2 and you need 3 to down a tank... too risky to be viable. C4 is nowhere near as good as any engineer's anti vehicle weapon

>>119475591
yeah that one map with the beach forgot what its called, faggots just go on top of the hill and snipe

I can't even join a fucking game after this new patch, I can't fucking believe that I have to deal with this. BF3 was the first game I actually bought in a while and this has totally destroyed my trust. Especially considering there is a perfectly good piratable version of this same damn game out.

>>119475762
Kharg Island

>>119475739
four or five if they got extra tank armor i think.

>>119475591
seriously though, its fucking hardmode now to kill somebody 50+ meters away with an assault rifle ? thats fucking retarded.
that the accuracy is nerfed is not so bad, but with bullet drop in this game you hardly do any damage at range as it is

>>119475739

C4 keeps them from hopping out and instantly fixing any damage you do with your RPG.

IRNV is still viable actually since they only nerfed it above 60m (most encounters). Try it. It's still going strong.

>>119475093

>>119475093

i thought only the spec ops camo has use

Awwww.

>>119475970
>>119475413
If anything, they should fix the problem with a friendly rocket hits your C4 and they get the kill. I am risking my ass.

Comparison of Strike at Karkand to the original.

Looks pretty faithful to the BF2 version.

>>119475953
Learn to burst fire instead of spray 'n praying.
Grab an AN94, KH2002, or M4 if you can't.

Some guns still work fine while spraying (try the engineer's M4A1 with Silencer and foregrip to reduce recoil, thing is a beast).

>>119476193

manlytears.jpg

>>119475953
So compensate for bullet drop.

Fuck yes they finally nerfed that fucking infra-red scope was so bullshit.

>>119476042

If there's no-one with IRNV and you're playing Hardcore, so there's no orange markers.

Spec-ops camouflage is useless. You better roll with a camo that lets you blend in with terrain.


Like woodland in Caspian, Desert in Firestorm.


That fucking feel when playing Caspian Conquest HC with Supressed M1911 as Recon and going 28/3.

>>119476193

Seine Crossing still a shit map

Shit, I'm so stoked for B2K. The maps seem like pretty solid copies of the originals (sorry console fags)/

>Increased the power of Stingers against Jets.

>Flares reload times for Jets and Helicopter Gunners have been increased.

AT mines everywhere
RPGs everywhere

>PS3
>Games

>>119476864
opponents see at mines on the mini map

did they nerf explosive rounds? if not i am not going to play till b2k expansion.

>>119475726

They got the 64p Karkand map wrong, it's confirmed to have 7 CPs and extend to the warehouses past the bridge.

Still, consoles are getting a pretty sweet deal, 32 player versions of those maps are pretty ace.

>>119473339

Until they get rid of flashlights it doesn't matter, everyone online is going to be a complete faggot

>>119476864
No more RPG than usual.
AT mine despawn after 20s death and are shown on the minimap, they couldn't be more obvious (they were quite obvious with thermal anyway... more points destroying them).

The game is fine. Patch made it so that it require a bit more skill to kill a player. Granted you aren't a RPG fag. Still, it's heading in the right direction, you guys will never stop complaining.

I'm personnally loving the game, 130hrs. Just enjoy it or leave. It's the finest FPS to date.

>>119477001

They nerfed the flashlights as well though, that's what the patch notes say, right?

is it me or is the aiming sensitivy ultra high while aiming with scopes? (i.e. acog and 3.4)

>>119477001
Flashlights have been significantly nerfed.

PS3bro here

Maps are pretty great.Probably better on the PC version though. The Flashlights are finally not so fucking bright.

>>119477120
>>119477223

I can't lie, I did it myself while I was unlocking Recon stuff.A

>>119476579
WHY DID YOU EDIT OUT THE BUTTEFLY.

>>119477404
Hmm?

>>119476856
What the fuck. As it stands I can hardly avoid the damn things in a Scout chopper, even going behind buildings, because there's so FUCKING MANY PEOPLE using them. I constantly spam flares, because I'm constantly getting rocketed.

Wake Island trailer (PS3)

>MFW the DLC trailers have better music than the core game, with the trailer above having something that sounds like it came from Metal Gear Solid.

>>119476856
Increase effectiveness of AA. Increase effectiveness of counter-measures. It's like they never patched anything at all.

>>119479088
They made the reload times longer.
Not shorter.
Meaning it's harder to avoid guided rawkets.

>>119478206
I hate battlefield trailers, explosions everywhere.

Why does there always has to be a jeep shooting at random direction?

Also, F35 will be so fucking overpowered, it's pretty much a heli with a jet cannon in the hover mode.

>>119479088
Made no sense.

>>119479385

Confirmed for never playing BF2. AA/other jets/regular fucking RPGs/tanks/APCs/etc. will all be shooting at you and you have shit for health so you die almost instantly. Not to mention it takes 5-6 full bursts from the cannon to kill a tank while you die in one hit from it and you don't even get helicopter-tier mobility since you're basically a floating brick in hover mode.

>>119479660
The regular jets in BF2 and BF3 were nothing alike so whats your point?

>>119479660
So is F-35 only for US or does OpFor have it as well?

Is the AN-94 worth using? I thought it would be cool because of the 2 round burst but I hear it blows dicks. Should I just stick to using the AEK forever for assault?

>>119479817

BF2 had the F35 (which could hover) and the Harrier (which could also hover). Fuck off, COD kid.

>>119479981

Burst isn't as bad anymore.

>>119479916

US only. OpFor still has the Su35.

>>119477822
>blinding at 20 feet
you've never had a tactical light in your face before have you?

>>119476307

>5 cap points in Karkand

Well I had hope

>>119480089
>BF2 had the F35 (which could hover) and the Harrier (which could also hover). Fuck off, COD kid.

Never played CoD games except the first two.
You cant back up your claims so you result to insults, I think it's quite clear who the kid here is :)

>>119480089
BF never had the harrier.

Only mods and such included it

>>119480089
...So won't the Su-35 wreck the F-35's shit?

>mfw 1-hit-death bug from Beta is back

>Use SOFLAM now that it's supposed to be useful
>Not a single fucking person tries to take down the aerial vehicles, even though they are wrecking our shit

>>119480893
OH GOD WHAT

>>119481165

That bug that causes you take take massive amounts of damage while sprinting has returned. I even got 1 shot while in crouch.

Its pretty fucking sad that that fucking bug somehow made it in again.

>>119476307
almost makes me want to get bf3, but the color palette is so modern and grim dark. and i was ruined by bc2, this is not the same battlefield series.

also, dat music

>>119481287
I know what the bug is but I didn't expect it to somehow come back.

Does time spent playing co-op missions count toward that "time played" thing on the stats page?

To the faggots complaining about the Jet Nerf/Stinger Buff, when you are being tracked by a stinger/igla start flying away from the hotzones and deploy flares when the "missile incoming" tone is heard and then come back to the battlefield when new flares are ready(it's like a 5 second difference in flares now I think. If you DO get hit by a stinger/igla on Firestorm/Caspian Border, land the fucking Jet and repair it if you are an engie(they have landing gear for a fucking reason). Competent heli pilot/gunner tams should still have no problem.

>>119482920
teams*

>>119482920
Honestly, if there was a HUD element indicating a lock and an option to disable that noise, I wouldn't even mind. I hate hearing that fucking tone over BF3's otherwise nice sound design roughly 99% of the time I'm in the air.

>>119482920
>Repairing transport chopper with very effective gunners
>Vehicle repair is now capped at a certain amount of points

>>119483891
Explain this capped repair shit.

Probably so you can't spam repair on someone's EOD bot for unlimited points.

What a great morning.

So much huttburt in the battlelog forums about the irnv fags. Ahahaha what's wrong? Has your crutches been sawed in half?

>Enemy Mines are now visible on the minimap

WELP. MINES ARE NOW USELESS.

>>119485087
how can you have NOT gotten the limited edition on pc

its just any new PC copy

as in, any pc copy at all

Did they remove origin yet.

>>119486897
if spotted, yes ... if you are oblivious to your surroundings, they wont show up

Holy shit I wish they would allow a Grenade Launcher attachment for the F2000, but noooo only fucking guns with underslung rails are allowed to have them.

>>119486988
I thought limited edition was only available when it came out...

God fucking damnit dude, why is it so fucking hard to land on a server where both teams are evenly competent and the enemy team isnt exploiting the FUCK out of anything?

I almost don't want to fucking play this game anymore because I was so aggravated today. I literally got up, walked into my living room, and screamed at my cat as hard and loud as possible to keep myself from smashing my fucking PC.

not sure if you noticed but it's December

your fotm game has no place on /v/ anymore

>>119489426

>>119489288
Team Deathmatch, it's the only thing aside from Operation Meatgrinder that I found enjoyable.

Anyone else notice the mini map upgrades? Pretty nice touch.

>>119489288

You're not the only one. I gave up playing today because every server I got onto my team was losing and couldn't hold a single base to save it's life. I was in a Kharg Island and my entire team minus a friend and I were up north at Docks, and they were STILL losing it. That's 25 or so people at one fucking point, and not being able to hold it.

Pathetic. Also, don't worry that you get so pissed. I broke my mouse because of an aimbotter who was probably red-boxing as well. Would turn corners and instantly head shot me in 2 shots with his AEK. Worst part was he was an admin, and the only admin on at the time.

Punkbuster is a piece of shit.

>>119489288
Server disconnected

>>119489902

PB has always been useless. If the game had been released we'd have VAC and wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit.
