Battlefield 3 patch to address tactical light complaints

4.2
DICE plans to do something about the tactical light in Battlefield 3 before any more controllers are snapped in rage.After discussing the problem in a podcast, gameplay designer Alan Kertz tweeted a couple of images showing the proposed change to the lights; the blinding effect remains in place, but won’t be effective at a distance.

Other proposed changes include rebalancing of mobile AA guns to be less likely to send airborne vehicles careening wildly off into the middle of nowhere, and some method of repairing jets.

Not date has been set for the patch. Battlefield 3 is available now on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

-Kira- Finally!!! Even though I'm a CoD fanboy this pissed me off so much. Glad to see theyre addressing it.

What?!! Call of Duty patch things in like 1 day... if there was ever a glitch to get out the map they would hot fix it within 12 hours :L and the only 'glitchs' you say are still out today ARE NOT glitces there hacks from JTAGS YOU imbocile.

How many complaints did IW get about things and how quick were they to address these problems, oh ya they got tons but did they ever do anything about it, not really and if they did, it took forever for them to do so, DICE takes care of their **** reason they win best developer award is cuz they tend to the players needs and not what they want! Don't get me wrong MW3 is good and all but it's all twitch and reflex unlike BF3 where you have to actually be strategic about your attacks and not run out and get killed!

How quick ? Ahah sure 3 weeks after the games out that's fast! Haha and yes I'm a cod fanboy but I'm not going to lie I do like bf3 just maps are to big and most of the bf3 fanboys are playing mw3 anyway...


Yah it took them 3 weeks to address something. How long did it take for IW to address glitches in CoD4 and MW2. Oh wait. Most of those glitches are still there today. Sorry to say but addressing an issue in 3 weeks is a relatively reasonable time frame for something that isn't HUGE.

The glitches in the CoD4 and MW2 games impacted the gameplay for many maps greatly. Tactical lights hardly do this. So what if you need to hip fire a noob that cant kill you fairly and needs to blind you.
Don't forget to mention how many terrible glitches were in black ops which almost had some of the same problems as MW2 which means that Activision doesn't even care about glitches. For them it is all about the Money.

Activision had nothing to do with patches infinity ward make the game and they make patches and not activision


Yes but Infinity Ward works on Activisions schedule, they're the ones who make the decisions. You almost had him though.


I quoted this because it was really big, like alot of quotes.

Ooooooooooh lots of quotes


It's Quoteception.
Ladies Ladies enough! they are both good games and they are both gay games!


lolumad?


one more time!


i like it in the but


I can quote the entire thread too! Tehee


Now someone post a combo breaker >.



K, who cares. They get patched anyways. If a perfect game ever gets made, I'd let any one of you shoot me in the head. Cause it won't happen. Both games are fun. They are reeeallly different in my mind. So get over it.
