Likes ? Dislikes?


Things that need addressing?


I'll admit at first I was excited about the rent a server feature.. But I am starting to dislike it.. Quick-match is pointless (for getting in EA servers). And I have to scroll through 20+ pages of servers with morons who name it DICE trying to find a server that has a regular ticket rate. Maybe they should give us an option to search for official EA servers. I mean I have found a few rented servers with regular ticket numbers but kill the owner more than once and your out.

Glad they fixed the USAS 12 and FRAG rounds. But, now there is a new breed of shotgun-scrubs.

I honestly do not like what they did to LMG's... I understand they needed addressing but I feel that it's overkill.

I also like the better chances of one-hit kills with rifles now!

I also feel like there isn't that many good any guns anymore, which I don't like. Most seem to have waaay too much recoil.


Hopefully they fix the quick match crap.. I love playing large ticket matches occasionally. But there are times where I can't sit around for 2-4 hours for a large ticket match. Not to mention if you leave it your out of all the points for completing a match.

I also have to agree with the lack of decent guns. I understand the need for realism, but the recoil needs to be more controllable. Such as a new counter-recoil device to attach to the gun.

I feel like I am bitching when it comes to the recoil on LMG's but I feel it is a little ridiculous... It is bad on a few of the assault rifles.

1.) Should be an option for Quick Match search to be limited to EA servers.

2.) Jet's MG's damage shouldn't have been changed.

3.) Havoc still isn't as good as the Viper.

4.) Stingers are overpowered as $#@!.

5.) Javalin is arguably overpowered.

6.) RPG has the ability to take out all helicopters in one hit. Not even disable. 100% -> 0%/Destroyed.

And that's just a start...


I haven't been able to experience most of what you mentioned yet. But number 6 sounds like bullshit.. Sometimes I wish developers would take a poll regarding the age of the people giving suggestions. You get all of those 12 year COD ganging up to give their shitty suggestions and after enough of it dice seems to listen.

Tanks are $#@!ed.
Plus.. repair torch taking a year to fully repair a vehicle..

Another thing.. Dice should do something about butthurt admins kicking players because they are getting raped by em. :dumb:



As mentioned by someone else this has ruined the engineer kit for me.. Really pisses me off. I don't believe there was any issue with the repair tool before.

It would be great if after say 2 mid air collisions, you get booted from the game, kind of like with team kills. I realize accidents happen but you would get 2 chances which would help slow down suicide pilots. And at very close range stinger missiles should lock on to helis weather you have below radar or not.

Bad luck deaths have increased 10 fold, myself and others ive been playing with have died randomly to bad luck more since the update than since the game was released.


Ruined several weapons, overpowered several more.
I rember a North server before (7 total) and now there are only 6, 3 out of the us and 3 in.

Give me an option in searching or quick match to avoid rented servers or servers with over 360 tickets.





IDK.. I mean the air collisions is part of the game... I can understand how annoying it is.. But I myself have seen the opportunity to take out a far better pilot by aiming my jet at him and jumping out, then imagining him rage.

I also have to agree with the bad luck thing. I can't remember what happened right now but there was one incident which really pissed me off.

I haven't played too much BF3 since the patch, but there a lot of positives and negatives for me.
Shotguns are so overused now :p The M26DART is fucking insane. And you almost have to use squad cover
for everything now since suppression effects were bumped up so much.

Age isn't really the problem. DICE have a talent to go completely overboard when it comes to change. Honestly, it's arguable the attack helicopters should have been changed to a one shot disable (instead of two), but one shot destroy? Really?!

And it's not like helicopters are the only problem. As Assassin. pointed out, tanks can't really do jack shit anymore. 2 shots from a RPG or Javelin, and you're dead. Unless you've got two repairs, happy to jump out every time you're attacked, you're pretty much screwed (due to the unnecessary nerf of the repair tool).

There's also weapons. The FAMAS used to be one of the best close-mid range weapons, due to it's high rate of high and low recoil. Instead of making it 'mediocre', it's now God awful. The insane recoil just kills it. There's also the nerf of pump action shotguns, I mean what the hell?! Just because people complained about the USAS, they thought "hmm, lets make sure every player that doesn't use the shotguns is happy... Lets nerf the fuck out of them all!"

Agreed.. But Dice normally does fix it.. It just takes them fucking forever... I'm waiting for the rubber-banding to start. That shit killed BF:BC2 for me.

And chances are it won't address anything serious.. That's how dice works... The see all the complaints and put them away, wait 3-6 months so everyone has basically adapted to the new shit and then fix it. I blame EA honestly..

Do a barrel roll!
I didn“t get it, why to change the gamethat hard.
After every patch the balancing is totally new.

new bugs apear or weapons/Weapon combinations are changed, that the old Setup seems to be useless.

After the latest patch I found many weapons more accurate than before and I think the suppression effect is too much,Dice need to tweak the suppression effect a little bit more.Honestly since the patch I feels BF3 is more enjoyable than before
