And they couldn't allow more squads to be created? Grr.

Apart from that it sounds good. Not sure of the need to nerf the SCAR though, I thought it was pretty useless as it was.



You don't have that much hassle from them, do you? If the pilot on your own team is useless, and your chopper pilots are too useless to use their heat seekers, and you've no AA vehicle, get someone to set up a SOFLAM. Those things bug the *!&"% out of me when I'm flying.

I've found the SCAR to be a complete waste of time as well, get on far better with the Marine engineers default M4.

In fact, my favorite gun at the minute is the G18 pistol, equip it as a recon and go plinking then when you've got to get a shuffle on and change positions you've got a mini machine gun that delivers 1800 rounds a minute and you win virtually every face off you find yourself in as the damage rate is so high.
 
Some R9 server info from KC

DICE have released Server Update R9 with the following changes:

- Support for unranked servers (vars.unranked)

- Ranked servers have a few settings as read-only. Please see here for more info: http://www.killercreation.co.uk/images/bf3_r9_ranked_unranked_vars.jpg

- Unranked servers allow changing of all settings

- Reintroduced vars.allUnlocksUnlocked for unranked servers

- The game server will parse all of Startup.txt even if an error is encountered

- vars.roundStartPlayerCount / vars.roundRestartPlayerCount handling rewritten to be more natural

- vars.maxPlayers cannot be used to go past the server's max number of slots any more

- Security updates to the game server

- Fixed several server crashes, hangs, and a 10-second stall - all of which would make the server drop every player

- vars.gamePassword can only be invoked during server startup, not while the server is already running

- vars.teamKillCountForKick 0 will disable team kicking instead of kicking people frivolously

- banList.add would sometimes crash; fixed now

- EOD bot scoring exploit fix


R9 is scheduled for release today, Tuesday 22nd at 07:30 GMT in coordination with the client side update.

Battlelog will be down for maintenance between 07:00 - 09:00 GMT (ish) during which will take this opportunity to update all BF3 game servers to the latest release.

Half the players are not going to know what to do with themselves if they cant sit there shooting people in the back who have just spawned.
 
I don’t really understand the

Spawn protection now should work in Conquest. You should no longer spawn on points too close to enemies

What does that mean ? Have they reintroduced spawn protection again or have they made the game make sure it spawns you away from the enemy. The description is very DICE like (vague)
 
good BF 3 times
killing a whole squad with the SAW on a bipod
buring peoples faces off with the EODBOT
shooting a helicopter down with a tank round
fire mode switching on rifles


bad BF 3 times
INRV scope is too much of an advantage
I get shot down within 10 seconds of getting in a helicoper or plane :( its really hard to get any points without any unlocks for the aircraft
people teleporting out of tanks to shoot me 0.5 of a second before their tank blows up

To me, it seems their idea of spawn protection is spawning you away from enemies, so you dont start with a gun in your face. :rolleyes:
 
sounds more like you wont be able to spawn on a teammate who is in the middle of getting shot / shooting someone 2ft away

which may be good for both parties (no more getting spawn killed / getting killed by the guy appearing next to the guy you are killing)
 
spawn protection would be handy, or complete randon spawn points, i have never understood why games don't have 100's off spawn points not just a handful... people will camp/patrol known spawn area's looking for kills, even if they are not a spawn camper you naturally hover around the area's when you want blood :)
 
Just started updating the BF3 patch through Origin this morning and this happened ..

I'm using Avira Free, It does tend to be a bit of a false positive caller now and again, but even so it's a hassle and i've never seen it shout out at an official game patch.

Easy fixed but not good all the same.
 
No idea why they touched the scar or g36 :( and as for the stingers meh i might as well just try pot shots with rpg or smaw because they were useless to start with.....and why no tactical lighthouse/flashlight fix yet.

F2000 will just get used even more now :/
Click to expand...

Always get people talking about the F2000 but it’s a good degree worse than the AEK which has a faster ROF and virtually no recoil. In single shot / burst mode you more or less only have to “pull the trigger” once to kill


oh our server is patched and back up and running (for anyone that uses it)
