Battlefield 3 Details Leaked

[[-NM-]-SS-]

I understand FFoW has key members from the original BF team onboard, so many FPS fanboys I know have high expectations for that title. I just joined the beta for that, so I'll share some impressions at a later date.

BF2 was supposed to be the "next thing" from the creators of Desert Combat, a mod for BF1942. There was a falling out with EA/DICE and Frank Delise who created DC.

So, they parted ways and Kaos was created and they began work on FOW while DICE took over the BF2 creation.

Thus, the crap game known as BF2 was given to the earth. And with each patch, the game became even more ridiculous. I think it was DICE canada who handled the patches. Anyway, one patch BROKE THE KNIFE.

Now how in the HELL do you break the knife???? Who in the hell were in charge of the patch process? Who is the dummy that allowed such a crap patch to be released?

Ok, done ranting. :laugh:

Simply put...

DICE is stupid.

EA is stupid.

Fixed it for ya.

So, what exactly broke the knife? Was it not 1hit anymore or something?

I'm curious about this too, what happened with the knife? I remember it working in the last patch I had (1.40) I'm also curious about the comment above about patching the Clark...what is the alleged problem with the current Clark, and what is the suggested "patch" for it? I'm curious, as I've about exhausted my use of the Baur, and the Clark is the gun i've begun using in its place.

The Clark will have its ROF increased to match that of the Herzog. Apparently DICE thinks that it is underpowered compared to the shotgun addon..

[Yukiism]

Ah well, it's a good oppurtunity to get my first Shotgun Pin.

[MrChris_CJ]

It sounds good, modern day setting is probably what everyone wanted espeically the tech enthusiasts, now providing that they actually take their time making it (eg dont release it before its ready etc etc etc) and don't turn it into an IO fest then perhaps...perhaps

Well, it IS kind of weird that the shotgun in 2142 is some clunky-chunky slow to fire affair. We have auto-shotguns today, so I would have thought in 2142 autofire would at least be an option. I'd say the relatively short range is nerf enough for it, let alone the clip size and delay between trigger pulls.

I don't use it much myself, but it wouldn't bother me if the guys who do can fire it a little faster.

Its not "a little faster", the increased ROF allows you to massacre an unaware squad :ar15:

I have used both versions of the Clark, and the only thing I found lacking in the original was the hit detection.
Maybe they should have downgraded the Herzog instead of upgrading the Clark if that bothered them.

My point is that it is risky to significantly improve a gun that nobody had any issues with.

If the patch ever comes out, it will probably be a good time to dig out the ARs and rockets, because the servers will be swarmed with players with no long range defence and limited shotgun experience.

True, no argument there.

Also true.

Ive noticed that every topic ends up with people discussing what the new clark is gonna be like, And my 2 cents, clark is already amazing, making it amazinger, is just plain dead silly, good ole dice not nerfing the voss and beasting another weapon. Hey think about it actually, it will be, OMFG CLARK NUB, not OMFG VOSS WHORE. Never thought the voss whore phrase would get overpowered but i guess it will...

[Wizrdwarts]

Are in-game ads going to be in it? If they are, they better stay at the current (2142) level, and I'll have no problem with it. However if it ends up like:
"This Close Combat pin brought to you by Remington"
we'll have to worry. :hmm:

[Salad Snake]

I would find that hilarious.

[Wizrdwarts]

I would find that hilarious.

"Congratulations on your promotion soldier. Make sure you pick one of our sponsored unlocks, like this new M107 brought to you by Barrett -- 'Dependable. Reliable. Well-designed.'"

Hmmm maybe the reason the G36E is so good is because H&K paid DICE. :shock:
