Things that need addressing?


I'll admit at first I was excited about the rent a server feature.. But I am starting to dislike it.. Quick-match is pointless (for getting in EA servers). And I have to scroll through 20+ pages of servers with morons who name it DICE trying to find a server that has a regular ticket rate. Maybe they should give us an option to search for official EA servers. I mean I have found a few rented servers with regular ticket numbers but kill the owner more than once and your out.

Glad they fixed the USAS 12 and FRAG rounds. But, now there is a new breed of shotgun-scrubs.

I honestly do not like what they did to LMG's... I understand they needed addressing but I feel that it's overkill.

I also like the better chances of one-hit kills with rifles now!

Not a big fan of how they decreased the amount of damage a tank can take. It takes 1 less RPG/SMAW than before the patch, and less from anything else that can take out a tank, be it a jet, helicopter, LAV etc.

However I do enjoy some Metro 24/7, with the Rent-a-Server upgrade it's now possible.

I like the new servers, but I do agree that it is hard to find a normal game now, and it should be much easier to find an official DICE server.

I also feel like there isn't that many good any guns anymore, which I don't like. Most seem to have waaay too much recoil.

Easter Egg!
Everytime i jump in a tank.. all i hear is the goddam lock-on from a whole damn squad using javelins.
Tanks are fucked.
Plus.. repair torch taking a year to fully repair a vehicle..

Another thing.. Dice should do something about butthurt admins kicking players because they are getting raped by em. :dumb:

This has ruined the Engineer class for me. I loved it how you could jump out of a vehicle and quickly repair it, then jump back in and carry on.

I guess it was needed to keep things balanced. Now I almost exclusively use Assult where previously it was Engineer.

The USAS with frag rounds were patched, however the mk3a1 (unlocked in the back to karkand assignments) seems to have maintained the same rate of fire and you can use the frag rounds with it. The thing I am getting frustrated the most is the flares not always working and the ridiculousness of suppression. I think that if suppression found the sweet spot between before and now, BF3 will be amazing.

I enjoy it , its more balanced but don't get me wrong there are a lot of things I think they need to take another look at some of the stuff but knowing that dice takes for ever to release a patch and the next one coming out about the time of those shitty dlc cod maps I will just post what I think in my opinion should be fixed.

1. After Patch there are more Kamikaze pilots than before. If 2 vehicles crash into each other the one doing the damn ramming shouldn't stay alive!!!!!!

2. The g35 was the gun I favored more and now with the bullet damage I can't kill shit , they have nerfed it that I don't see no one using it at all.

3. I get a lot more death from "bad luck" than previous. some games its for anything. Yesterday I got "bad luck" 5 times. and 2 of them where in a hyde chopper , 100 percent health , I took off and boom , blew up , with "bad luck" I can't understand it

4. Servers!!! Official servers are hard to find its pathetic. I don't want to be made to play someone Else's server!!!

5. Private server allow booster to BOOST!!

6. Stop Helicopter from fly over Spawns. They said it would be in this patch and I still have these nerds who don't help their team by capturing flags but sit on my team spawn blowing up our vehicles.

enough of my hate on the game , I still enjoy it but I will not purchase the next one just because how long dice takes to fix things. 3 months for vo-ip I will never forget that crap.

Tanks with the increase in damage done by a tank shell , repair tool nerf , and disables losing health more crippled them.
Add to the fact javs now ruin tanks so quickly

Running a tank against a team who don't want you in a tank your pretty much screwed. Before one person could not take you down unless he was behind you. Now one person can.
I support the jav power increase but only for laser targeted.

Something needs to be done tanks right now are far too easy to destroy. Would not be too bad if you could undisable a tank by repairing over the disable point.
Likes the tank shell one hit kill to air targets Smile
RPGs also welcome that

Changes to helis welcome
Jets also welcomed....mini gun now close to on release. Sort of like it....

Changes to foregrip and bipods etc is welcome. Recoil taken some time to get used too along with using foregrip or nothing else.
Overall i like it but why so much change could not done this during the beta and not 6 months after release ?

If they fix the tanks and MAV bug. Along with changing it so ramming stuff in the sky not rewarded so much with killing you both. I noticed loads of players getting in jets just to take down a heli :/
Still think if you ram into it should kill you and do nothing else. Of course it hard to work out who rammed who...so i would just remove it all together.

Rented servers should be under custom servers , DICE servers if you join by quickmatch. Should be easier to find a DICE server

Is it just me, or did the patch fuck up the 12x scope on the Barrett m98? I mean, it sorta tilt and make the shot miss, even ho I'm straight on. (I've sniped ALOT in BF3, so I know where to aim.)

It would be great if after say 2 mid air collisions, you get booted from the game, kind of like with team kills. I realize accidents happen but you would get 2 chances which would help slow down suicide pilots. And at very close range stinger missiles should lock on to helis weather you have below radar or not.

Bad luck deaths have increased 10 fold, myself and others ive been playing with have died randomly to bad luck more since the update than since the game was released.

Getting tired of the legit DICE servers being full all of the time. 2 hour games in metro or in any other map for that matter make me want to take the game out of my 360, walk it out side, and let a real 870 go to work.

I dont care if someone is admin or not, admin killing people on the other team because they shoot at them is STUPID. I see the admin putting themselves on the winning team a lot. As soon as the admins start messing with the game while in progress it should automatically switch the server to unranked.

USAS is only crippled when using the newly nerfed frag rounds, now frag rounds do what they were intended to do in the first place, supress.

Ive been having problems with getting the underslung shotguns to work. Never noticed it till after the update.

Rented a server for 1 day to put as many maps as possible on it all conquest with regular ticket counts after not being able to get into a dice epic battles server for over 2 hours, myself and 5 friends were on it for 2 hours messing around and it never populated the entire day.

Ruined several weapons, overpowered several more.

I rember a North server before (7 total) and now there are only 6, 3 out of the us and 3 in.

Give me an option in searching or quick match to avoid rented servers or servers with over 360 tickets.

I play conquest primarily, its my choice, so when i get into a server that has 1 conquest map then the rest are tdm or rush its a pain in the a$$ for me. The same if the server is just 1 map 24/7. If thats what people want to play, thats fine, i dont care, i dont want to so give me options to filter the garbage.

Thats a mild and small opinion from me on the new update.
I think they nearly broke the game.

Oh well. Never did finish GTA4 anyway, now i got time.

oh ya, and wtf is up with taking forever to fix a tank with repair tool but only a couple seconds to destroy a tank with it. One squad of engineers with one guy throwing ammo will keep all ground vehicles in a base quick.
