DualShock Nexus: Battlefield 3's Armored Kill Expansion Pack is almost here, and so is a new patch. Confirmation has been made on the exact release date for PlayStation 3 players, but will this patch include fixes from the list of tentative changes written a while back? Let's hope for some early patch notes.

Let me guess. Rent-a-server broke the game in your opinion, right?
Frag rounds was facked for months, it got fixed only they broke the dart in the process so that was facked for months. The dart got fixed only they broke aug a3 smoke.
These game breaking glitches took them months to fix, and do you know when they released the patches that fixed/broke the game, yep you guessed it around DLC time.
Just by the way I have played for about 600h so don't say I haven't played enough. :)
I have played around 150 hours and use PS3.
Wow over 500 hours of gameplay, well one has to assume something is working out well 4 you , i mean i cant play a broken or "bugged" out game for longer than 5 hours unless the games "bright side" can forgive such bugs i.e fallout 3.
You cant have your cake and eat it too, seriously over 500 hours? Well some mmorpgs dont get to see as much investment now-a-days, so i would say you got your monies worth. Also Dice has done a good job listening to thier community, sure i agree bugs are still present but compare to when the game was released, then compare to 1st patch and so on, its hard not to notice that many problematic issues of the game are gone and sure some are still there.
Im always here with my arms wide open for patches, to me this just tells me that something is getting tweaked/fixed and whether dumbing down certain guns etc are a good or bad thing is a matter of opinion, if one tends to spam rape w/ usuck and explosive/frag rounds then yes that person would have a dif feeling to those who get raped by them. I think it was wise to nerf the frag round as they did, took them a while to do so because when it comes to touching a weapons stats, gamers will always be unhappy and from reading the forums within these "months" leading to the patch it was greatly debated "dont touch , please touch" It wasnt because Dice was lazy , they know "making tom happy would make bill angry" It is an area devs tend to not visit , weapon stats.. But they have and on more than one occaision and i applaud dice for this.. Some devs leave the guns broken, even if the majority wants change and community is nothing more than noise to them.
"Money hungry whores" i can agree with, but broken gameplay? well i beg to challenge that, if so broken then why the hell do people dump hundreds of hours into battlefield 3 and why not invest that time in a "less broken" game unless battlefield 3 is the only game one owns and regardless of what the circumstance is one must question the love hate relationship, love to rip game apart but hate being away from the game.
So gameplay can be absolutely spot on w/ a game that is graphically sub par and has issues elsewhere? absolutely.. Im not saying this is the case w/ battlefield 3, it goes for video games in general. I have problems w/ battlefield 3 "money hungry whores" is good way to sum up one of them and what didnt come packaged in this game is another. (SQUAD)
But TheFreak its confusing to hear you talk about how bad the glitches are/were "gamebreaking" bad but you have well over 500 hours in and i bet you could tell me every weapon stat and best map pints to snipe and best way to approach a map in conquest.
Im not trying to be a jerk nor am i dismissing you or your thoughts, im just trying to get a better understanding.
I just cant fathom how one with so many hours in would not see many bugs and major concerns by the community fixed or "better" over time. Sounds like you have been there every step of the way so are you overlooking the many bugs they did patch or do not agree that they have patched any at all? If the glitches were "game breaking" how did you survive getting through months of such?
"Game breaking" may be a bit excessive.
Sure dlc time, i agree the timeframe is always questionable when patches only come at dlc time but his is not the case, Dice is actually not bad when it comes to listening to feedback and applying fixes, EA on the other hand is the master puppeteer, please also keep that in mind.
Rent-a-server didnt break the game, it did make it harder to find offical dice servers although one can search them it seems there are a bunch less..
You cannot down a chopper/jet unless the pilot was retarded, you try to lock on with the Stinger and the pilot can simply ECM/Flare/get below radar/fly way high for you to lock. That's BS.
EDIT: I also hope that Battlefield will improve in game balancing, what I mean is they should create hardcore mode better or another mode with simply no balancing, all weapons as real as possible. I know, to kill and to die will be much easier, and some weapons would be much stronger than other, but I dont want to shoot with stinger so many times, or shoot with pistol more bulets (in real world you should not care to die from 9mm or 50. cal sniper, it would kill you or at least disable you for sure) game over :)
I have almost always used the AEK.. I took a break from BF3..
Then when I came back a few months later, it seemed everyone uses it.
It's definitely not, but in the Assault.. it's my favorite, so far.
I tried about a week ago to get a game but couldn't find a game. This is on PS3.
and I strongly disagree with everything you just say'd above :D
I went into a server yesterday where the sound was cutting out every few minutes, it was ridiculous.
It really needs to be fixed because i'm starting to get quite a few avoidable deaths because of it. I can't hear when i'm being locked on in a vehicle etc.
Forgot about the gun missing bug. It has happened to me also. Not as much as the others but still too much.
The sound bugs do need fixing as sound plays a big part, especially when using headphones.
never buying another dice game again after the abomination that is battlefield 3, game could have been great, if it werent for all the un-necessary nerfs/buffs, ignoring of actual problems, and blatant money hungry whoring with all this premium/dlc and unlocking upgrades for money.
they've become worse than activision...
DICE and EA are a team so they both take the blame !
That's EA job to market that's why they published the game !
Do you work for them? NO!
My dad works for DICE and that's not how it works
And don't even get me started on the Kit Shortcuts... Level 1 kids running around & killing me with weapons it took me precious Hours to get
Now for the rest of it, it's an awesome game & I haven't experienced nearly half of the bugs people keep whining about
The game sold many copies, there are still many satisfied customers out there.
FML.
