Next Battlefield 3 Patch

ZeroThreat

I ran the updated patch, now when I try to join a server game from battlelog I'm told I need to install the game first ffs :rolleyes:

Edit : N/m, I just ran the repair option and it seems to have updated it properly.

M416/M16 etc...

It would be nice if those feckin assault whores actually switched guns once in a while. Pathetic.

Would you not stick to what either works for you or what you have unlocks for or the gun you like?

i mean personally i don't like them so i stick to what i do like, the a91, p90 or the Aug A3.

i rarely play with anything else unless i'm playing support

spitfireIRL

anyone else having problems telling your squad to attack/defend objectives? haven't been able to do it since the patch. playing on 360. think my controller might be bust

Personally no, if you are any good you should be able to use all classes and guns, not rely on the same old guns.

Same way in Pro Evo or FIFA, the same people using the same teams. Drives me insane this inability to mix it up.

Why dose it bother you so much.

Its not as if crap players are made better by it or good players become better using it.

Il kill people with whatever gun suits me people like you make me enjoy it even more

Back on topic: I haven't noticed any difference since the patch came out

Logical Fallacy

Have you guys used the UMP yet?

I spent some time on the classic maps this morning using it.

So sexy now.

Major fail IMHO, Tanks are like cardboard and what is with the suppression now its mental if fired at. So in a 1 on 1 who ever fires 1st wins as its nearly impossible to shot back now with the screen taking an epiletic fit its so stupid.

Jet are even stronger now except against each other as the heat seekers are a major fail and you still lose 70% of your health with the smallest of falls, and dont get me started about the bipod still being arsed up.

well I'd usually stick with my usual guns as that's what I'm used to, i guess i don't have the abilities yet (not sarcasm btw)

I have experimented with other guns in each class and time after time i'd feel like I'm letting the side down (even more than usual) as i try and figure out either rate of fire, recoil and range. heck even the iron sights annoy me sometimes.

At this stage though i feel like i could pick up 70% of weapons if i was out of ammo in a map and get a hit with them but I'll usually go back to my old reliable after i get killed.

I'm sure once i get better and get my k/d ratio to that magical 1/1 (it was a VERY rough start for me hadn't played a PC FPS in 7 years) I'll have a far greater knowledge of what weapons are like to use but once i do i have a feeling I'll still stick to maybe a dozen or so and use them in rotation or where they would be most suited for each map.

Logical Fallacy

Played some Rush on Bazaar earlier. Assault with an M416. 10 minutes later I was 19-2 and had taken 4 M-Coms.

Gun is ridiculous right now.

ComeraghBlue

Better than the AEK? What's the range like on it?

I tried it the other night but Im not feeling it, its def better since the patch but its still out classed by the p90. Fire rate and clip size is still too poor on it tbh. You should try the mp5k since the patch....yikkes.

Increased damage and that huge fire rate with no recoil makes it a great run and gun piece. Still is balanced out with the small mag size and high ROF though so its not that overpowered.

The people who whore glitched/easy-mode guns to death wreck my head, you just know their top 5 is USAS, F2000, M16, MASS & 93R.
It's pretty sad that alot of them tend to be playing with clanmates backing them up and still need to use the above :rolleyes:

I'm nearly finished getting 1 service star with all guns, have 23 at over five stars and then I'll be unlocking everything for everything

I dont think I have room for the new dlc and patch :mad: (xbox hdd)


Question,
see all these patches released from the start. What if I just deleted everything. Then boot the game up. Would I have to re-download each and every patch ... or just the latest patch?

The range on it is pretty sweet. On Bazaar I was catching brief glimpse of dudes at the medium/long range and firing and dropping them.

For me, personally, it won't replace the AEK though, because I love that gun.

Lafortezza

AEK is still better than the M416 up close, and maybe at medium range if you are good at controlling the recoil. M416 way better at range, and just far easier to use at all distances. The recoil is very low, and seems to me to be a fairly simple gradual pull down of the mouse to counter.
The new M416 kind of puts the Scar-L and AN-94 into the useless category as it is almost that good at range, and way better than those 2 guns in any other situation.

dreamers75

F2000 is the gun you pick when your team is **** and you need to win a flag/mcom.


Dont get the weapon hate unless the server forbids it then every weapon is fair game. Build a bridge etc:....or pick it too and get revenge.

SpannerMonkey

quite like this patch

raze

Attack choppers very different with this patch - I had thought it was a double nerf to choppers since stingers can lock on below radar, and gunners don't have flares. But the chopper rocket pods seem to have got a mega buff.

I'm no more accurate with my rockets now than I was a week ago, but the damage against infantry is unreal compared to how many hits to kill were needed pre-patch. Attacking tanks feels more like when the game was first released, and a few times today I took down the enemy's attack chopper with rocket pods while waiting for heat seekers to reload.

I had a game earlier with a squad of randoms and my teammates would bail out of the gunner seat. By the end of the game I had stopped looking for gunners to pick up - I stayed up solo til the end of the game got over 20 kills which was 6 from destroying armour, and the rest from flying passes over infantry and defending CQ flags.

It's trivial to take down a chopper, or force it off an objective, now with the stinger radar buff - but the vehicle is much, much more destructive than it used to be.

klose

Only started using the m5k since friday and am coming up on 200 kills with it now, its beast on the cq maps but very bad at range. I love the weapon balancing in this game...

The recoil on the m416 is ridiculous now, plus it has a slightly reduced reload. Wouldn't say it's better than the an-94 in any other situation though, it can have a 1200 rpm when used in burst.

It does get a bit annoying DICE listening to everyone crying nerf this and nerf that

I have
11000 kills with the M16
56000 with the F2000
2500 with the AEK
2500 with USAS
2100 with the M416

40 guns mastered with a couple more almost done and around 70 with over a service star.

I think it's pretty sad you worry about what gun the other person is using.

I think it's pretty sad that you play the game enough to have 56000 kills with 1 gun ???

I think that's probably a typo, judging from that fact that the rest of the guns are ordered from highest to lowest kill amounts

I agree that I don't think people should worry about what guns other people use. I use guns that are appropriate for the map/mode I'm playing. I use the AEK most on close quarter and city maps, sometimes the M416. You'll never see me using the AEK on something like Caspian or Kharg though, simply because of the stats of the weapon. For longer range bigger maps, I'll probably use the ACW or M4A1, or else play support with the M249 or M27. It all depends on the sit-ye-ation.

I suppose that's true. I just find it really dull when everyone on a map is using the same gun and/or same class. On the infantry heavy maps that I like best I get why almost everyone uses assault as it's just the best choice but when you couple that with almost everyone using the M16 prepatch and almost everyone using either the M416 or AEK now it just gets really samey and dull. It is really the fault of Dice that there are still such absolutely clear winning guns in every patch and that assault is so strong on most maps. The game is just miles more fun imo when you have a smattering of classes and weapons.

danniemcq

well look out for me if you are on the opp team, i'll usually be found with the p90 or A91 these days!

Both good guns , I have over 1200 kills with A-91 love it
I'm trying to rank all guns up to 500 currently working on the Scar-L (like it) famas (hate it) an the KH2002 ( growing on me)
Personally find the M16 and M416 boring to use , very vanilla and predictable , can't talk about AEK though have over 2000 kills with that , it was my main gun for the first 5 months of the game

DapperGent

The KH2002 is the last assault rifle I need to get all unlocks with. I'm really ****ing hating it I have to say!

Go onto a hardcore server and put a 4x scope on it with heavy barrel , you will decimate the enemy from range 1 burst kills on HC it's awesome
