-- A detailed look at Squad refinements

A detailed look at Squad refinements

Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.

First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.

For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.

After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

Class Action Lawsuit Over BF1943

21 November 2011 - 05:59 AM Posted By neged 28

You may remember at E3 when EA promised BF1943 to those PS3 players who pre-ordered Battlefield 3. You may also remember last month when EA announced on Twitter that the promised offer would no longer happen. Gamers were frustrated with EA's decision, but the offer took place in lieu of PS3 customers getting Battlefield 3 DLC one week early. This one week early PS3 exclusive will also be valid with the Back to Karkand expansion pack.

Gamers were happy when finding about the exclusivity, but the Edelson McGuire law firm is calling out EA on it's misleading claims. They allege that EA "misled and profited from thousands of their customers by making a promise that they could not, and never intended, to keep." One other point that has enraged Battlefield 3 gamers is that EA's announcement took place on the 25th, after the game had already been released. The announcement being late was also poorly announced, a simple Twitter message instead of a more formal, global email. It will be interesting to see how this class action lawsuit unfolds and how it will affect Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3 Update - Incoming

18 November 2011 - 11:48 PM Posted By neged 27

We aren't getting specific details for EA's latest Battlefield 3 patch, but we're at least getting a few more details. Next week players will be graced with a full list of fixes and the new patch. PC players will be getting the Battlefield 3 update earlier than console players because of certification requirements by console developers. The list of updates include: improved polish, stability, weapons balancing, squad control functionality, user interface enhancements, and several feature enhancements that address feedback the community has provided to date. PC players will also benefit with a fix for the "negative mouse acceleration" bug. A big topic has been the IRNV scope being overpowered, the scope will be more balanced along with the SCAR rifle. In an interview with Gamespy, KM Troedsson acknowledged that DICE is aware of PC players' complaints about the overly intrusive chatbox and near useless comma-rose. Check out a fist of likely Battlefield 3 fixes here.

The overpowered IRNV scope and flashlight are big topics on DICE's list of fixes.

Cheating is also a big topic for the BF3 developers and are encouraging the community to click the report button (a ! on the user's Battlelog) to bring cheater's to DICE's attention.

New Strike at Karkand Trailer

18 November 2011 - 05:39 PM Posted By neged 28

Back to Karkand is due out next month and to tease us more, the Battlefield 3 developers have released a Strike at Karkand trailer. The teaser offers up another minute and a half of new Karkand footage. If you're a BF2 veteran, you'll quickly notice the new Battlefield 3 style and should be relieved that the map hasn't changed to much.

Battlefield 3 Patch Information - Coming Soon

15 November 2011 - 09:53 PM Posted By neged 17

Battlefield 3's launch was met by the community with two things: love and bugs. The bugs have been prominent on all platforms and have slowly been fixed by server updates. There are many that still have yet to be addressed though. A potential list of Battlefield 3 issues has been provided, but with no date. Daniel "zh1nt0" Matros revealed on the EA forums that a full list of fixes will be released later this week or early next week. The date is not finalized, stating that the dev team has a few dates going around. Still no date on the launch of this Battlefield 3 patch, but at least we will be receiving a full list of fixes very soon.

zh1nt0 said:

A fixlist will be posted sometime this week or at the latest early next week. Being very vague with deadlines here since we have a few dates going around.

Battlefield 3 - Best Selling Game In October

14 November 2011 - 07:25 PM Posted By neged 12

NDP Group, a US based firm that deals with financial statistics revealed that Battlefield 3 was the top selling game in the US for the month of October. EA reported that Battlefield 3 had sold five million units worldwide in it's first week. Battlefield 3's figures are still far behind it's competitors, but the gap is still closing between the two games. There's even proof of the gap being closed. Eurogamer reports that MW3's sales are under two million in the UK - a 1.6% drop from Black Ops' sales last year. Battlefield 3's first piece of DLC "Back to Karkand" is due out next month, so that will also help to boost BF3's quickly growing player count.

List of Battlefield 3 Issues To Be Addressed

11 November 2011 - 06:52 PM Posted By neged 48

Battlefield 3's launch was smooth in most regards with only a few network hick-ups causing gameplay issues. There have been some control and balance issues that have been brought up by the community will also be addressed. Here's a list of issues addressed in the next Battlefield 3 patch:

• Flashlights will be more life-like and won't blind players at distances.
  
• Reported input lag for console controllers
  
• Mobile AA (LAV-D/Tunguska) may be nerfed
  
• Improvements in the ability to land a jet for repair purposes (maybe we'll get reverse too)
  
• The SCAR-H rifle (engineer unlock) is rumored to be nerfed
  
• IRNV scope is expected to be adjusted too
  

There has been no set date for the latest patch, but the above issue list will probably be longer once the patch is released for Battlefield 3.

Unlock Battlefield 3's MAV In Real-Life

11 November 2011 - 03:18 AM Posted By neged 11

Feel the need to spy on your neighborhood, Area 51, or something else? If you've played Battlefield 3, you might think of the

unlock. This little gadget can earn you a ton of quick and easy points in BF3. Their main role is recon and their real-life counter part "T-Hawk Micro Air Vehicle" built by Honeywell does just that.

The MAV looks oddly similar to it's BF3 counterpart.

The only difference is that the real one costs upwards of $200,000 where the Battlefield 3 version takes a few hours of gameplay.

[STAINLESS again plz]

f*ck waiting. I woulda paid $200 to get it a week early.

Well I cant play now after the update. They have stuffed it. Ive spent a long time defending this game against cod fanbois sayin its a fail since the beta. Right now im swallowing my pride and agreeing with them. They have failed to release a top shelf fps. I think the beta should not have been released, its now in beta stage. Mw2 was almost bug free from its release day. Dice have failed.

[freeze_dk]

Yeah I paid 53.. that's with free postage.. The extra I paid was for express

You made me buy it and it doesnt work now?
