PC patch is going to be available some time on the 29th.

man, i guess bf3 is where the action is?


need new comp.

Yes, it's been out about 6 months but there are still a bunch of us playing at least a few nights a week. With the various DLC coming out it should keep up entertained for the rest of the year.

The patch is live. Fire up Origin before you go to work.

See you tonight.

_________________

I had to tell it to update, so if you get a chance, right click the BF3 icon under My Games and click Check for Update. Patch is 1.5GB so it shouldn't take all that long.

I'll be on tonight also.

Here's a decent video on some of the patch changes, if you have time to watch a video before you have a chance to play.

Played about 20 minutes just now.

So fucking happy.

I was really excited for it. the patch notes sound great. but i haven't had fun playing in the 7 hours i've put into it so far. but i'm sure i'll get used to it.

they did unfuck the infra-red scope. i like that.

How'd they change the thermal scope?

I really like the changes to the IGLA/Stinger. For the most part very happy with all the aircraft changes (exception is the stationary AA's....there is no call for the American AA on the carrier to be able to shoot the russian helo in it's base...reference Noshar canals on conquest).

I'm also a fan of the decrease in repair rate on all armored vehicles. It makes it a much more fesible thing to kill vehicles with multiple repair guys.

it got a few nerfs:
* they narrowed the sight a lot. Kills your peripheral vision now.

* added a max range to the heat detection. If someone is pretty far away they don't glow at all. Which makes it very hard to shoot someone who is far away. They're just more green and black amid a sea of green and black.


And a buff:
* removed that fog effect which made it completely worthless.

Now i'd recommend it's use for areas where there will be lots of jackasses hiding in bushes or in shadows. And it's practical anytime at medium range.

The lowdown I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Unlocks take time (not skill) to unlock, so it's not a huge deal, but is anyone else a little creeped out?

I don't really mind. EA's a business, and they have to make their money somewhere. I'd rather it be things like this than monthly fees or more expensive DLC. At least they're not charging for weapons that we can't otherwise have. The availability of weapons and other unlocks comes with paid DLC, which also includes maps, vehicles, and gameplay modes, and I think that's a good system.

New players aren't going to be much better if they suddenly have all the unlocks. It still takes time to figure out how to use vehicles and which weapon attachments are the best choice.

I also don't really see it as being "unfair" to those who've played a bunch of hours and already got these items. Some people see it as "work" to unlock all the items, but I see getting new unlocks as being a lot of the fun that comes along with playing a bunch. If someone thinks it's "work" to get unlocks, I'd argue they're playing a game for the wrong reason. Much like people who grind away at a repetitive task to level up, like some of the exploits patched early on in BF3. That can't be fun.

Now, if these were available for purchase on the first day the game was out, I'd have a problem with it. Everyone was a new player at that point, and paying for otherwise unattainable unlocks would then give a player an advantage.

This should help us select servers. We should be able to tell if they have a high ticket count, round is about to end, or teams are very stacked.

Here's to hoping it's as advertised.

Well, those qualifications just eliminated every server with > 6 people already on them.

That is true, but at least if we want to kickstart an empty server we should be able to find one that isn't crap.

Oh boy, only -1130 points to go.

Creepy, good editing.

nice. i see that as my nightmares if battlefield were real life

Went through every weapon/vehicle I'd ever gotten kills/points with and unlocked all the accessories:Also, for ether: http://i.imgur.com/ak7qR.jpg

hahah, awesome. reminds me of gold starring every smith damn weapon in bad company 2.

i don't think i have the heart to do that in bf3. There are so many more weapons, and unlocking all the things requires what, at least 270 to 350 kills per weapon?
