With the recent Battlefield 3 patch out, many are noticing faces of the good, the bad, and the ugly of Battlefield 3. DICE Senior Gameplay Designer Alan Kertz responds to fan feedback and reveals what’s in store for future tweaks.
Here is the good stuff
Shotgun tweaks - Battlefield fans across the world are overjoyed with the recent nerf of the USAS and frag round combination. According to Kertz’s statements in a recent podcast with Don’t Revive Me Bro, the USAS automatic shotgun was originally supposed to suffer a reduction in fire-rate when equipped with frag rounds. The same applies to the Jackhammer shotgun. That has been corrected in the latest patch, along with a decrease in splash damage.
In the spoiler - Kertz explains in the latest issue of Inside DICE just before releasing the latest patches:

And what do I plan to do about [these issues]? Well, one very little, but very effective change will take place in the near future. On all other shotguns, using FRAG rounds reduces the effective rate of fire. For semiautomatic shotguns this rate drops from 200-220 rounds per minute to 180rpm, a 10% reduction. The USAS simply did not have this reduction in place. As of the next update, it will have its 275rpm reduced significantly to 200rpm. I’m actually a bit worried it’s too much, and I’m eager to hear how players react to the change.
According to Battlefield fans - here is the bad
Suppression - Some major tweaks were added to suppression in the latest patch making it much more, noticeable. However, if you aren't liking the suppression at the moment, Kertz says that there will be more changes, and hopefully, with these changes, suppression will be just right.
Kertz also talked about vehicles in the Battlefield game and admitted that there are things that need to be done to them - this will all take place when the next DLC comes out which should not be too far away.
There were also talks about a bug concerning heat seeking missiles equipped to the jets. Kertz cannot give an exact date to when this will be fixed but it will all be in good time.

When the next DLC comes out? Isn't that in June?
I'm going to assume the heat seeking missile bug will be there for a while because DICE is being awfully slow. They should have found that bug before the patch even went live. Xbox hasn't even got the patch yet either.

Yeah I heard it was a while away, I am not sure whether some of the smaller bugs will be fixed before that comes out, but they may not be :\

Quite a lot of things which still need fixing from this latest patch.. like when i select a gun from the customize menu & go to add attachments.. it goes back to the previous gun
MAV glitch.. still there.
