Re: BF3 Patch discussion...

This update is awesome (so far).

-The A10 properly gives Jet score again.
-Fixed several issues with vaulting objects, especially for thin railings.
-All semiautomatic and bolt weapons, including all shotgun slugs, now have their maximum damage out to 15m.
-Semiautomatic weapons will no longer "jam" if the player presses fire faster than the weapon is capable of shooting. Some semi-automatic weapons have had their rates of fire adjusted to fit this change.

AN94: Reduced vertical recoil. The AN94's 2 round burst mode is incredibly accurate, but it suffers from a low rate of fire on fully automatic. The recoil in full auto has been reduced somewhat to offset this penalty and make the AN94 more attractive.

MP7: No Change. The MP7 has a very low recoil and a high muzzle drift that favors longer bursts than the P90.

Laser sight on underslung attachments? Now using the M26 doesn't sound as bad.

Along with patch, they are rolling our server rentals tomorrow.

Additionally, private servers will be available to rent the moment the patch is released, but only a limited number. Halling clarified, “PS3 players will be able to buy [servers] tomorrow but we are doing a ‘soft launch’ so limited amount. Next week we are at full capacity!” He also stated that these servers “can be both ranked and private. Ranked server however have a few enforced rules you can’t change.”

I love my shit DSL. This fucker took a half an hour to download.

by Guest Tue Mar 27, 2012 4:48 am

So, anyone going to put down the money for a server?

by Guest Tue Mar 27, 2012 7:02 am

has anyone ever tried putting c4 on a MAV and then let it hover over an armed MCOM and then when some poor soul tries to defuse it... boom.

After you install the patch it'LLC tell you that you need to reinstall Karkand. When you do, DON'T download in the background...it tends to not like this, and your ps3 will lock up. Just sit through it, take a dump, go make a sammich, something...

I started the download an hour ago... it still has 562 minutes to go.

Also, all your kits most likely will be all fucked up, so fix that before you jump into a game.

In the video options you can now turn off anti-aliasing. Is it just me, or does it look better off? Sharper, but not in a less jaggy sense, which is what AA does (smooths out edges). I havent tried it in game, but the munus look better with it off. If you have input lag because you have a ghetto TV and DICE hates you, you'll want to turn it off.

Nope. But you can rent them daily, weekly, monthly, or for three months at a time. But fuck that at $25 a month.

I dont play enough to rent them for months, but would rent one on the weekends from time to time.

I did at least try to check out what the options were but everytime I went to "rent a server" I got a message saying there is no DLC. Is this what you all see or is something buggy on my end?

Ha...downloaded normally and still froze up on install facepalm

by **GoMonkey66** Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:45 am

Right now the rentals are very limited and this morning were only available in Poland. They are damping up availability daily though and as more become available we will start to see them on our end.

by **Decreped** Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:05 am

Pricing for renting your own server is $1.49 / $6.99 / $24.99 / $64.99 (for 1, 7, 30, and 90 days).

2 dollars for a day rental isn't that bad.

by **Decreped** Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:33 am

Holy mother of fuck balls. The havoc is faster then the viper and I fucking love it. Not only that but they brought back the TV missile from when the game first came out, meaning its slower and A LOT easier to control.

Here is a reddit list of "secret" changes

Wow, they finally added A-91 tags. 20 bucks says they put the 9A-91 on the dogtags instead.

Also, I'm still not interested in playing unless you guys are playing. BF3 is meh.

Yeah, true, but it is a graphical change...basically, the AA is in place to smooth transitions between rows of pixels, like the difference between a step pyramid and a sloped pyramid, and the reason for having it off is because of the extra bit of processing and rendering power that smoothing the edges takes. Every input on the controls to move means that every edge visible needs to be redrawn, hence the lag. Its weird that not everyone experiences it though...on my TVs I don't have it at all. For others it makes the game unplayable.
