BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On January 14th, 2012 in News
We’ve previously reported that Battlefield 3 will be getting a Commo Rose 2.0, a major overhaul of the com system in an upcoming patch in Febraury. Now DICE voice over producer Tomas Danko reveals that the patch will indeed be a big one, with, as Danko puts it, “it’s not just a small patch, it’s shitloads of recordings with lots of actors + new code support”.
We’ve been waiting for a while for the new Commo Rose to arrive, as the current one is practically useless. The 2.0 version will be a much welcomed addition to Battlefield 3.
Thanks for the tip, Anand!
Still no word of Commo Rose on consoles…
They could easily put this feature on consoles.
Screw consoles. Why do you ungrateful kids need it? You have in game VOIP. We don’t. This is a PC feature. You want patches early, and now having to wait for someone ELSE to approve the patch(Which Microsoft HATES Battlefield) then get the balls, and brains, and build a PC. Reason I do, is that I don’t like to play with kids, and I do not like to hav emy FPS capped at 30, and have lower textures. Screw that. PC is so much better.
Holy crap my keyboard is messed up XD.
Why deny them that, just because they have voip? we have, TS, Ventrillo, mumble etc etc etc. Don’t act like the usual console fanboys and let everyone get a better commorose.
Dude you sound like a little kid just… just stop.
Maybe I’m just dumb, but is VOIP the option where you talk to the entire team? Cause if so, I’ve been missing out on some opportunities to coordinate and communicate.
Man! Just chill. I know we have VOIP, but you guys have 64 CQ, More vehicles on the map, and much more. God. What is wrong with you guys always hating on console players. You guys act like if we are from another world or something.
You say you don’t want to play with kids, and yet you sound like a 12 year old yourself. Grow up, and until them, stop saying stuff on the internet… You’ll just embarrass yourself.
TeamSpeak/Ventrilo/whatever are 3rd Party Downloads. You’re out of luck if you don’t play Clan, since few people will care enough to Download either one, plus even less Randoms have their own Logins to share with people.
Pink – By VoIP we mean In-Game VoIP Chat, where Squads can communicate with each other by just pressing a button. There’s a Battlelog VoIP implementation available right now, but its just not the same. Console In-Game VoIP is badly broken too I believe. Or just the PS3 Version?
If I had to choose between a 12 year old that i can mute or you, im going for the 12 year old noob.And you are trying to make pc look good, not happening by that comment.(yes though pc is better)
@ Elessar PC Elitism at it’s worst…..
just Grow Up , nuff said
and i don’t know , if u ACT or U ARE a 12 year old kid
Everyone that has a mic on xbox is in a party so its impossible to interact with team mates.
Wow, every comment you mostly post is about “Console sucks PC is better”. You do know that you are comparing a 6 year old machine to the
PC right? And you should be happy that Dice gave you 64 players, more vehicles in the maps, etc. Now, stop complaining please.
What happened to make you such a callous asshole? I’m really curious; every article you’re just frothing at the mouth at how much consoles suck.
If your PC you built is so perfect, then do something completely unheard of – stop bitching and actually use it to play the fucking game.
Did console’s have commo rose for bad company and bad company 2… so why do they whine about it now because its something they don’t have?
Kids? You mean like the ones running around on PC hacking and cheating? If I ever again want to play on PC, I’ll be sure to let you know first.. around the time hell freezes over.
Also, where does it say PC feature? And where do you NOT have VOIP? If you’re NOT a kid and think it’s so easy to even have a PC wich plays BF3, then how come you simply don’t play with friends that ALSO has a capable PC (hey, it’s no biggie to have one) and get say.. ventrilo? Too retarded or just lying about the accessability of a PC that’s capable?
And for other people wondering where the “button” would be on console:
How about simply pressing a button for half a second? duh. The number of possible features is not equal to the number of buttons, but equal to the number of combination of buttons and how you program them to behave.
Lol u tell the console people to get the brains and balls to build a pc.. i can, but i dont have the money..u must have a lot of balls and brains to talk shit about consoles like a butthurt pc elitist..u must feel cool, acting like a goddamn 5 year old..
I’ve heard that a lot, but I never managed to find out, do you even have a button for it on either Controllers?
You could like Double Tap select or something…
Because no one is willing to pull themselves from their PC elitists and console fanboy mentality, I’ll try to be the voice of reason;
While most PC ‘elitists’ are kicking sand on console players because they are requesting a feature, I’m here to hopefully give them some insight as to why console players could benefit and want this feature.
The common argument is that “Consoles have VOIP; they don’t need a command rose!”
Just because consoles have VOIP, it doesn’t mean that communication is perfect for us. Half the time people on the PS3 people don’t have a microphone, and I find myself occasionally turning my VOIP off because of people talking to their friends/family(most console microphones are sound activated) and forgetting their mic is still next to their mouth. Ontop of all this, console VOIP has been broken for sometime.
Not everyone is willing to use a microphone, has the money to buy one, or owns one. If you don’t have a microphone on a console, then your *only* mean of communication is a little button you press to call for ammo,health,pickups, and repairs. Half the time it doesn’t work, and you have to be facing the person/vehicle for it to work.
Communication on the PC is much easier without a microphone. You can freely type to your team, squad, or to everyone. You are also getting a much better command rose in the coming future. Now, imagine DICE took every last of those communication features away, leaving only that “communication button” which only allows you to call for medic, ammo, pick ups and repairs. Being forced to use the “communication button” as your ONLY means of communication would suck, and you too would want those features back. Console players without a mic/the ones with broken VOIP are forced to deal with that every time they play BF3, which is console players want a better means of communication; command rose.
People need to stop acting like consoles are taking away from PC’s just because they want a new feature. If consoles get commo rose, consoles are in no way, shape or form taking away from PC’s.
In closing, fuck PC elitist, fuck console fanboys. Stop the petty war and realize that we are all playing the same game title and we all want game improvements.
Consoles don’t need commo rose we have the select or back button (which nobody knows about except some people) the select/back button is commo rose what do we do look at a medic press the button and your character will say need health, look at guy in a tank press the button your character will say need pick up. SPREAD THE WORD because aperently nobody knows this. people just shoot at each other. Just press the spot button. . .
We wouldn’t be having this arguement if it was only on PC…
u.u
Can somebody explain to me why do consoles need commo rose? Because i play console and i use the select button. arnt they both the same thing? but pressing select easier? or am i missing something cuz i cant stand console ppl complaining about commo rose on here.
seriously guys why dont you just post a pic of the tweet instead of the old commo rose pic?
“The 2.0 version will be a much welcomed addition to Battlefield 3.”
I wouldn’t be too sure, how can you tell that if you didn’t even see it and know practically nothing except for that it will feature “medic” and “ammo” commands?
Because “Need medic!”, “Need ammo!” and “Need repairs!” along with “I’m a fucking medic/support/engineer, get over here.” are the most needed and used commands after spotting and saying “Thanks!”.
Athough I imagine a new command “Need recon here!” which puts a marker visible to every recon player on the team and shows where you need more spotting.
Need a dispenser here
Need a dispenser here
Need a dispenser here
That too.
Oh, how much I spam it when I ACTUALLY REQUIRE A DISPENSER BUT THAT IDIOT GUNSLINGER DERPINEER THINKS THE MINI-SENTRY IS THE ONLY BUILDING HE HAS!!!
/ptforage
Because just adding those two Commands automatically makes it far more useful than it is now.
read the quote at it’s original source, it’s not in context to this and has nothing to do with this at all. so therefore there’s nothing new here.

Hopefully Capping/Spam Filter this time…. >.<
There was one in BF2/2142. >6 times in a certain timeframe – muted for 31 second.
Also, all those “Jet spotted” and “Thanks” could come from different teammates.
I always considered that more of a Fail Filter, when you can have 5 Teammates spamming “Thanks” 2-3 times each, the Filter should be on the word, rather than the person saying it. Nobody needs to see “Thanks” from 5 different people.
Well, if they do, they have serious Depression problems, need to get off the Internet and go see a Quack.
I just hope that everything you pick from commo rose comes up in text like in bf2
VOIP…..
hey their buddy!
I read from the original source, that someone asked “Can’t you just patch that in” and the dev answered “it’s not just a small patch, it’s shitloads of recordings with lots of actors + new code support”.
In my opinion PC > console
doesn’t mean I have to go around dissing consoles
Hurray for commo rose 2.0
PC will always have accessibility, it’s just how it goes. :O
Yeah, PC must be great. No VOIP, hackers with full blown engine hacks practically everywhere, horrible anti-cheating software, forced to use origin, no in-game server browser, have to start BF3 all over just to join a server, 50% consolized game. Must be paradise.
Seriously though, PC isn’t perfect either. Hell, if consoles could run 64 players, DICE could implement cross platform game play and it would be virtually the exact same game play. Maybe in the next gen consoles we’ll see a new BF title with 64 players on consoles.
On a side note, if PC is so superior, why are you trying to prove it still?
- Origin can be bypassed using the Crack.
- Battlefield has always had terrible Anti-Cheat and bad Patching, its stuff you expect when you buy a Battlefield Game and have previous experience with the Series.
- The Hackers are getting banned anyway. Plus I’m quite sure there’s Console Hackers as well, even if to a lesser extent, so its not a PC-Exclusive thing.
- Also, the Non-In-Game Server Browser we got with Battlelog is actually the best one so far, only problem is its connected to this unwanted Social Network called Battlelog which nobody ever asked for.
50% Consolized Game – Where does that come from? Less Objectives? The way the Vanilla Maps completely suck because the Objectives are bunched together? Or that “we switched to Lead Consoles near the end of Development to ensure things work there” thing?
Cross-Platform Multi-Player? Where did that come from? DICE doesn’t seem the type. Plus, wouldn’t go down too well with most people.
On a side note, you question defending a Platform, yet you don’t question bashing it in the first place? And really, rather than defending my Platform, consider it more, correcting your ignorance.
@ Implied
I apologize for my earlier post. Months of this silly platform war and random people saying things like “Hurr dood consoles suckzorz” with posts like that getting 50+ thumbs up has finally gotten to me.
One thing I finally realized is that no matter what, their is always going to be some “PC elitist” or “console fanboy” saying some hate comment and getting a wave of “thumbs up” or comments egging it on. At this point its trolling. So, let the war rage on. While people are fighting over superiority, the ones want nothing to do with this superiority war will be enjoying the game for what it is, not what it’s played on.
Again, I apologize if I offended anyone in my earlier post. It’s not normally like me to posts offensive comments like that.
@ Implied
I apologize for my earlier post. It’s not like me to say things like that. My anger got the better of me from reading months of posts with things like “Hurr dood consolez r teh suck” followed by a wave of thumbs up and comments supporting the poster.
One thing I did realize is that there will always be platform ‘fanboys’ and ‘elitists’, and this petty platform superiority war will always continue. From now on, I and hopefully others, are going to stop debating who is more superior and start enjoying the game for what it is, not what it’s played on.
Again, I apologize to anyone I offended with my earlier posts.
Derp, sorry. Doubble posted.
lol @your friendly neighborhood poster
To Implied: There are no hackers on battlefield on console. its never been done and will almost certainly never will be. You would have to hack EA’s dedicated servers (which is almost completely impossible even with a jtag, which are banned the second they come online.) I cant speak for PS3, but im sure its the same way even with the custom firmware mod from a while back.
Hm, I’ve heard some vague reports of what are supposedly Hacks on Consoles with BF3 but never really confirmed, so idk. If there are, probably rare. Used to be more common with older Games IIRC.
they should have a overall commander of the team elected by the players who can order the squads about. he uses a map to point at enemy places to attack, sort of like and RTS like the battlestations series, the commander will be a unit on the ground like any other but he’ll make objectives for each squad to take e.g. conquest or rush objectives, to ensure squad cooperation ridiculously high points should be rewarded for completing an objective.
this would significantly improve teamwork and prevent squads from getting split up, it would also cut down on camping
In my opinion they should just bring commander back completely. DICE’s reasoning behind it was to “lower the threshold”. Their has got to be a way to ‘lower the threshold’ while still having a commander.
“shitloads” Didn’t a player get band for saying “badass”? hmm. hipocrates
That wasn’t his first offense though. But Forums and Game should be separate anyway.
good , finally some good news news , since the current como-rose is useless to say the least . the ”commands” make no sense and even if they make some sense no one and i mean NO ONE actually pays any bloody attention , some commands that are essential are missing like give ammo . provide covering fire etc etc . i only hope that the como-rose will be as good as in bf2 after this so bloody waited patch

Everyone thumbs-downing this has probably not played much bf2
New actors? *Gasp* The black assault guy won’t sound like a white guy anymore!
But they need to fix his arms too…
They need to fix EVERYONE’s arms.
US Recon got some awesome skeleton gloves, y u no show up on viewmodel???
Your so right! i barely noticed
THANK YOU! Finally someone besides me realized, the 3rd person character model for the US Medic has long sleeve even thought in 1st person its short-sleeved. Seems lazy by Dice.
Wait? So, he HAS to sound like a black guy [or from da hoodz, yo!]? But, on a serious note, they should bring back David Harewood a.k.a “Captain Quinton Cole” to voice the US Assault…..and Oleg Taktarov a.k.a “Dima” for the RU Command; “We’ve lost the Objective! Fall back!” and so on.
Correction: Oleg Taktarov is Dima’s mo-cap and likeness. Andre Sogliuzzo is Dima’s voice actor.
Enemy MAV spotted. Fix them shits!!!!!!
Commo Rose 2.0 to include “shitloads of recordings”-Clearly this is the the correct technical term.
I still don’t get why there is a need for commo rose. They had a pretty good system going on with Bad Company 2 where the “Q” button was contextualized. If you look at a medic and you had low health you would shout out “I need a medic!!”, same thing happened when you had low ammo and you looked at a assault guy or spotting a tank/asking for a ride etc etc.
In the current game, which implements the contexual communication, the mini map also shows who needs resupply/healing in their area. Having a commo rose is only redundants and the utilization of it would be slower than just looking at an object and tapping “Q”. I also remember playing BF2 and getting confused because people would constantly try to “spot” things and ended up flooding the mini map with question marks. The only thing I’d ask them to change is make the requast audio sounds a bit louder like it was in BC2.
Game is on it’s end anyway.
Should have been there on launch.
I just don’t care anymore.
Good for you. Now a nice and friendly advice:
GTFO & STFU.
Are you on medication?
This is where RebornShadow’s picture comes into place.

original VO for russian team would be great as an option, because I cannot stand the Russian team’s announcer. Bring Kirill Radcig back. He voiced the Russian medic and the announcer(mostly) in BC2. In the localized version aswell. Hell, Kirill Radcig voiced… Kirill in the campaign for the Russian localization. And you put this actor away, Dice? The funk are you thinking? He speaks perfect in english, and BC2 proves it. And so does Oleg Mirochnikov, who voiced Russian assault in Bad Company 2, and Nikolay Lazarev, who voiced the Russian recon.
Think, DICE.
If you make a massive update concentrated mainly on sound, make it worth it.
And I’m sorry I made this into a long-ass forum post. I had lots and lots of heavy stuff on my mind, considering voices.
Agreed. I thought they should’ve brought Cole from the campaign to voice the US Assault, seeing as how US Assault is black. Even the voice of Dima should’ve done the RU Commander…..
I preferred much more the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory style of voice commands (need ammo, need medic, cover me, defend the objective ecc.). Much quicker than the command rose (where wou need to move the mouse in the right direction and click, much more time consuming, and this in a battle is a problem). Just my humble opinion…
Haha They could type in “shitloads”, but we couldn’t type in “badass”. Lmao
i really like the idea of a RTS game made for all sys. they would intertwine with games and me and some friends would kill some bitches, me bossing them around like a super bozz!!!!!!
Time to see :
Enemy BOAT Spotted x10
Enemy Tank Spotted x10
Be advised, I’ve just spotted an enemy sniper x10
MEDIC!
New coding?
Wait? Will they actuall bring back the spot on hit detection like in the ALpha??
(down on kneee praying!)
I like the idea of a new patch, commo rose i could take or leave, I use comms if i want to communicate with my squad and team. Of course in a public server thats not possible but unlike some I am not under the illusion that something like the commo rose will promote teamplay. People will ignore it just like they do when your stood in front of them and your character is saying I need a f*cking medic and then run off in the other direction or complain how your blocking them.
That is very true and something that drives me mad. I have spent so much time chasing support around begging for ammo, shooting them with my pistol in the face, blocking them, jumping up and down!
But we were all noobs once and hopefully soon they will learn to play as a team, and when that time comes they will have extended tools to communicate with if not using voip (which I could personally take or leave).
