Battlefield 3 (Official Thread) Pt. 2

I believe I can fly.. I believe I can touch the sky..

I miss close even matches where one team doesn't rape the other.



I MISS TITAN BOOM.



*wipes tear from eye*

 

ooooh, how i miss the temple at dragon valley and look the apc's already there. the good old days ah!

 

its not hitboxes, its client side hit detection . According to the guy who shot you's screen, you were not behind a corner. DICE used client side for BF3 rather than server side. (I don't know why)

 

The main problem with USAS:

"Bad player panics and smashes mouse1"

"Good player in front of him has amazing reflexes and get's a clean shot in the same time he does his panic attack"

Result: Usas wins.

It's not really that much about the weapon being OP, it's about how it helps bad players (not that everyone using a USAS is bad, but alot of them are).

A shotgun with buckshot in BC2 was completely OP but required finesse and effort.

 

Does anybody know if PS3 players got their patch today?
If they did when should we expect one?

 

BattleLog updated... now apparently I have to RE-unlock the QBB-95 attachments... ?!?!

I had this fully unlocked for ages... since they added heavy barrel, the 6x scope is no longer unlocked and the PKS-07 (7x) is.. unlockable?!?!?.. I need 125 out of my 241 kills :bang:

 

...reading thread, google!? Would give you the answer immediately! And yes, PS3 got their patch today!

@iako

They changed the req. kills for some attachments. Heavy Barel now 300 Kills, so you need 49 Kills to unlock everything for the gun! PKS-07 seems unavailable atm.

And btw. i recommend Better Battlelog - http://getbblog.com/

 

Unfortunately cannot check internet at work. Everything is blocked by our annoying IT people. Luckily got permission to have guru3d open. Otherwise I would of course to check google.

 

Thanks for the info... I think I need 59 kills for all the unlocks though..

I'll check out Better Battlelog..cheers.

 

You can fly in BF3. Apparently C4 will send you flying.

 

haha those screens remind me of this one epic death I had in BF2, when a jet bombed me in the face (I literally saw the bomb right before I died), made me fly up really high, and another air plane tailing it hit my body mid air.

Also, lot of new attachments in battlelog seem to be broken with 'null' being the value for number of kills.

 

@nhlkoho

That screenshot is really cool.. ^^

Flying without vehicles is the best.

 

If an object or person is squashed between an explosion and something else, strange stuff happens. I've seen myself fly a couple of times and a few weeks ago me and a teammate were huddled up together for cover behind a rock.

A wild grenade appeared, I somehow survived, he died. While being squashed during the explosion between me and the rock, my teammates body flew sky high

 

Big patch is hitting pc finally tomorrow

http://rigmods.com/wp/blog/battlefield-3-pc-patch-announced-for-tomorrow-thursday-march-29/

Some awesome changes and new stuff added, plus a bunch of stuff that wasn't on the change list.

also... possible spectator mode?

 

Looks like MAV riding is still possible, even though the patch notes say otherwise (of course only tested on PS3 so far)
http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-3/1474139-read-some-news-mav-o-o.html

It doesn't work anymore while standing up, but laying down on the MAV works fine

 

I don't like this one:

I hate the supress effect, makes me unable to defend myself when taking fire.
Like if im the more skilled player, normally I could still win even if he fires on me first. But with the supress the bullet spread goes crazy and I'm defenseless.

It would be better if the supress effect just made it more difficult to aim instead, like making the mouse movement harder.
Rather than magically making the bullets spread out of the barrel in all directions.

 

arg, if that's true for the PC i hope they fix that really soon rather then months

 

If implemented correctly the effect is a great feature. Lag comp and the like make it difficult though, especially as most of the time between the "first shot" of the players isn't that far apart.
If one player was firing at your position continuously to allow a teammate to flank you the effect should definitely hold you down effectively. Don't you think?

 

Agreed.

also the "anti-suppression perk" is a lot more effective too so just make sure someone in your squad is using it :infinity:

 

They might actually put more teamwork and tactics (back) into the game. Some of the changes sounded weird at first but I'm still confident it all works out as a package later on.
Can't wait to try it out tomorrow night
