BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On April 6th, 2012 in News
The latest Battlefield 3 patch has brought a lot of fixes, tweaks and improvements to the game, however, it did come with a few bugs as well. One such of those bugs is found with the AA missiles, which are currently having trouble locking on a target from time to time. According to DICE’s Gustav Halling (via Twitter), a PC server patch will be deployed next week, which will fix the AA issue, and include several back-end server tweaks as well. The server patch will also be deployed for consoles.
OMFG.. For real? Get it right the FIRST fckn time.. Now this will probably take another month or 2 for certification… Seriously, who patches there patch with more patches?? ….Ughh…. wow, unbelievable.
Its a server side patch dumbarse.
Dude… many games have to be patched after a patch… let me name a few games that do that: Dungeon Defenders, Skyrim, any MMO on the market, etc.. It happens all the time. You must not play many games.
doesn’t server update mean its on their side? aka..no certification process…
why would anyone want to play mw3 they dont need to patch anything because its been exactly the same since mw 1 even though this patch made the game worse its still ssmokes mw 3 get out of here with that crap my nuts are hhaveing a welcoming party for your face
Why the Hell are you talking about Modern Warfare ? If you don’t like it, just forget it. Stop throwing your hatred on every Battlefield news.
Probably a derp question, but what is wrong with the AA? I can’t see anything wrong with them that would require a patch more urgently than the ridiculous suppression effects.
The lock on is kinda screwed up I noticed it when I used the AA it has a few issues still works it’s just glitched at least for me.
A fix for suppression will require a client side patch so that will take a while and most likely they will wait and bunch up more then one fix before releasing. The AA fix is server side so they can release the patch at free while the client side at least for consoles will have to go through an approval.
Yet another person complaining for the sake of complaining. If you don’t know what the f you’re talking about keep your comments to your self.
And what’s better than someone complaining about people complaining ?
They should better fix suppresion first.
Tried to care.
Failed.
Buhbye BF.
Have a nice day I hear MW3 is having a welcoming party for you enjoy!
Me 2 lol
… and MW3 has exactly what the fuck to do with that post?
What’s with the battalions of ultra-reactionary 10-year-olds on this site as of late? Must be the same crew that dominates the official boards, with 99/100 threads having to do with the paramount insecurities regarding– K4Y D33 ARRR!!1
good thing its only for pc. consoles probably dont need it
Did you read the last sentence? Why would consoles not need this? Also why do you have the same name as me without the exclamation mark(I have a feeling I will get thumbs down for that, but I still wanted to point it out)?
“The server patch will also be deployed for consoles.” (James Hyde)
At least they are getting a little faster with fixing things now.
Server patches usually are a lot easier (and therefore faster) than client patches.
What I want to see being added in bf3 is the ability to shoot through things. Thin walls, fences and so on. It was a big part of bad company 2 and from what I know it started from BF2. Secondly, I what vehicles to be fixed. It’s nigh impossible to get a roadkill with a car even though I hit someone dead on. Third thing is more of a visual thing. In bad company 2 there was an awesome effect when you destroy a chopper. It spinned uncontrollably for 1-2 seconds before blowing up. That was awesome!
I don’t really care about AA. SOFLAM and JAVELIN combo can take everything out in a few seconds. Way more effective.
roads kills are automatically given if the sprint button is pressed along with the gas pedal and it could be either straight on hit or side swipe.
gas pedal only will push them off to the side.
its a bit hard when jeeps don’t have a sprint feature
Except they do.
Try riding a Growler and press sprint. WRRRRROOOOOOOM!
The spin thing on choppers is fking awesome, it was in the Battlefield 3 BETA, when i tested caspian boarder for the first time, Bring it back!!!
You know what would be better than that? Depending on where you hit the chopper.. it reacts to its death like real life….say taking out the tail rotor..
hopefully this fix is for all the AA problems
So the bug causing the difficulty when locking on huh? I thought it was that below the radar thing.
Soooo…….they said they over did it with the suppression effect and they decided to fix this first? If its really this easy, why not fix the suppression and give the tanks back to just a little more armor? U would think they were made of aluminum!
The only reason they’re fixing this first is because it’s a server side fix. Suppression is going to have to be another client side patch. So fixing suppression is not “this easy,” it is actually quite different.
What the fuck are people talking about!? These damn tanks are hard enough to blow the hell up.. Maybe it’s just the tank driver that sucks shit. Today are damn clan got pinned down at Kharg Island in the Offices and Construction Site part of conquest. I shot about four RPGs at one tank and the shit only disabled it to about 25%.. Afterwards I tried the Javelin and it took 4 shots to blow it up.. WHICH IS ENOUGH
Prb an engineer repairing it while you were shooting… The Javelins are are way too strong… I can’t tell you how many times I was hit just once and killed with a Javelin…. not to mention, when you step around back of the tank to try and repair, you still get killed by the Javelin.
honestly i cant believe all of the people that are complaining about the javelin being to strong. it was one of the most under powered weapons in the game and now its finally usable. it should be an instant disable if it hits you straight in the back of your tank, because its the weakest part. tank drivers finally have to think rather than charging straight into battle. you guys gotta stop hating on the jav.
@ Askari… that’s probably because it required almost no skill to use… just peek out from …..ANYWHERE, and lock on (in 3-4 seconds) and fire and forget. With the way the SOFLAM is ‘actively searching for targets’… for an unlimited time, there are people running towards a tank now instead of running away…
I am a tank whore.
javelins are not THAT easy when you got a decent tankdriver + gunner. use ir sights to see any persons, when locking on, drive around buildings to break lock, when locked on and fired upon do same thing or deploy smoke while driving a few meters away.
Fairly easy and if you still didn’t get the guy your gunner sucks.
The rocket instantly disables regardless where you hit. that can depend on 50% damage to 75% from a rear hit. Also rpg/smaw do 50% on unguarded backend straight from behind. Two rocketshits will kill a tank from behind.
Now the problem with the AA is that they are unreliable for actually hitting the target and doing damage. If you fly a chopper straight at the the guy firing the AA rocket, it will hit without any damage done. same goes for a 10-20% degree angle dive will let the rocket miss or explode without damage to the chopper. Finally the AA rockets fired from chopper/jets will hardly ever do actual damage. THAT is what they need and will fix.
… yeah…. just “drive around a building”… It’s that easy… lol…
and btw, “drive around buildings to break lock, when locked on and fired upon do same thing or deploy smoke while driving a few meters away.”
…you can’t deploy smoke and have IR… they take up the same slot…
I’m not commenting so much on the Javelin’s, but it’s the innactive SOFLAM that can pretty much cover the entire map and anyone can lock on from anywhere that I have a problem with. Some guys set up a SOFLAM in the middle of the hills, and you can’t see them , but you are getting locked on as soon as you leave your spawn…that’s not even close to being right.
Would this also fix AA missiles not hitting jets? By AA missiles I mean from other vehicles.
Screwed up suppression, paper tanks, AA trash…
Still no Squad Voice chat (I have no reasonable explanation yet as to why it wasnt included, I guess I should say, that none of the reasons offered, to ME at least, are even remotely bordering reasonable)
Still horrible short-fall damage… I mean IRL im a fatass, and I have jumped from the 2nd story of a building a few times, I might be in pain and hurt, or even injured, but Im pretty damn sure I didnt die from it (well, being pretty sure is relative… I am typing this after-all…)
I take the short-fall damage and squad voice chat as the real killers for this game… I had an entire squad stand around me in 3 different maps in different places and watch me walk off, crawl off, crouch off, and even jump off a short distance to the ground only to have me (and anyone who thought it was just me) “suicide”… REAL PRO!
Agree for the most part, but I think the real killer for this game is the netcode.
Being shot at, getting to cover, proning… And die one second later.
Bullets who are simply not registered when shooting at people.
Mutual kills.
Players who don’t see the same thing at the same time (huehuehue, I hide behind a tree so he won’t see me… *get killed* Ok, he doesn’t see the tree. Or the “preshot” problem, because some people actually see you before you see them, so they begin to shoot at you even if they are not in your vision range).
Those make me rage so hard.
that can be 2 things, either a good player that knows how to prefire corners or 1. pc is too slow, 2. internets are too slow on one of the sides.
I hope they add more normal servers because I hate jumping into a custom server only to be spawn camped by the other team along with other stupid rules like 1750 tickets on Operation Metro
Jesus.. if you don’t like the high ticket count server, why in the holy hell are you joining them? If you don’t like it, create your own server and set it up like you want it to be.
I don’t know if you played bf3 recently but good luck trying to find a regular server with the normal amount of tickets and all the maps. It’s either those mixed servers with rush AND conquest AND team deathmatch or max tickets operation metro OVER AND OVER AGAIN, so I pretty much have no choice… Oh wait, you said I can rent a sever right? Now WHY THE FUCK would I want to pay for a fucking server to play something I USED TO BE ABLE TO!!! I’d rather cut my left nut off than give EA/DICE more money. I already paid about $70 for this game and I DO NOT want to pay for something we had since day 1. At this point I’m just playing something else because this is just bullshit. I never had a major problem with this game until now. Bad luck was pretty annoying, so were the frag rounds and the famas but this is the straw that broke the camel’s back, PURE FUCKING RETARDEDNESS!!! I just want more normal and hardcore servers with JUST conquest and JUST rush and JUST team deathmatch and ALL THE FUCKING MAPS without renting a fucking piece of shit server to play what I used to play. Is that too much to ask for?
I’m fairly certain if someone from EA said “Hey! Rent-a-server for $70 or I will chop off your left nut”, I would probably
chop off my nutrent the server and keep my nut.Those are just my priorities.
I do agree with what you’re saying about finding a ranked server with a reasonable amount of tickets. It is a bit of a hassle now, but I kind of like the ‘pub’ server mentality instituted with these rental servers. Harkens me back to the old days of Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat.
The people who downvote me must like spawn camping the other team and kicking whoever got past their entire team and capped a base
i agree with you!!! i want the normal servers back, i dont want to play at OP Metro over and over and over with the battle never ending. i want the old battlefield back, where EA/Dice didnt screw over people just to make a few extra bucks, i have actually played this game less since the rent a server crap began, i went and bought Rage, which is a pretty damn cool game, so if you want me back Dice, bring back the old servers and stop being money whores.
anyone else think they need to buff the ground transports?
the Vodnik gets disabled at like 70%
No, one RPG should disable a Vodnik, Keep or Humvee in one hit. If it took two hits with a rocket launcher to disable a jeep, that’d just be fucking stupid.
you stupid piece of elephant shit, i meant stronger against heavy caliber weapons like those ‘big guns’ on the top of tanks……no shit a rocket should disable it you dumbass.
Why didnt u mention that in your first post then you fuckin retard!! Instead of mouthin off u!
WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL OF YOU SO GODDAMN FUCKING RETARDED? a rpg no shit will blow up a car. But all other vehicles get disabled at around 30%. The vodnik n shit get disabled at 70%. JUST USE YOUR FUCKING COMMON SENSE BEFORE YOU GET MORE DICKS DEEP INSIDE OF YOU
No, the Vodnik is as hard to kill as a tank now. If anything, they should be easier to kill.
will they fix the freeze issues my friends and i have been having in the rented servers that have max tickets?
I love BF3, but i miss the great experience with BFBC2.
BTW, they should add the M203 for the M16-y rifles. The M320 just doesn’t look right on an M16.
Everybody realy needs to get Jesus in their life before its too late If you died tomrrow or right now and you didn’t have Jesus you will go striaght to the lake of fire and burn forever.

you can’t be serious with that comment when your name is “Jesus is Black” and is clearly an insult, racial and completely WRONG!!! He is NOT black, all you have to do is look a Jew today and you would have his color whiteish/brown Also if that is you in that youtube video you are clearly misrepresenting Christ with your “style” your heart maybe in the right place but at a certain point you need to represent on a physical level as well. That “culture” you are representing is an ungodly one (rap/hiphop/gangster), “behold old thing are past away and all things are become NEW”…
He’s an obvious troll. He has been doing this for quite sometime now.
Just ignore him and move along; he’ll eventually get bored and go troll elsewhere.
i agree, the dude is a troll, but i should just quickly point out that jeus WAS more then likely black, and can most definately be assumed he was not white. unfortunately whilst american jews are pale as hell, isreali jews are actually of a much darker tone, and you would find that historically jesus was located in the middle-east, if he wasnt black he was the only white boy over there. again not trolling just pointing out some fairly strong historical theories
I am a Christian man, but this is a BF3 BLOG. Post about the topic not about the skin tone of Jesus.
What does a zombie have to do with BF3?
Please give me my CITV back….. its been nerfed beyond belief.
Please add/fix the following.
Number one must for this game – IN GAME VOIP. I don’t want to have to stop what I’m doing a type a whole command to a squad mate.
- High damage or even death from random small falls.
- Add that awesome helicopter spinning out of control when hit by RPGs etc. (Like in BC2).
- More squad leader commo rose commands like in bf2. i.e. move here then a yellow smoke nade appears. Also a “look here”/”attack here” command to instantly show mates where a sniper is at”
gotta go. much more needed. bye
hey dude, just a quick heads up. if your playing on pc, ive heard a lot of people are using ‘skype’ to comunicate whilst playing online. solution no, but work around yes
can they put a patch with battlerecorder
It would of been nice for them to get it right the first time.
At least you should be satisfied with knowing BF3 is getting ongoing support from developers. There are many FPS out there which dont.
Fix the range on that Sh*t, its range is unbelievable, you cant even lock on to a jet when it flys overhead with its afterburners on
The range of the weapon isn’t broken; DICE intended it to be this way.
What they did was simply significantly reduce its lock on range, BUT they made the lock on time much faster, and made the rocket do a significant more amount of damage.
DICE’s reasoning behind the changes is that they didn’t want people with these anti-aircraft rocket launchers to be able to cover a huge portion of the map.
1. Air to Ground missiles still lock on laser painted Air targets.
2. Spotting is a pain in the ass now. More and more people dont even bother.
3. LMG are useless in all ranges due huge recoil at first shot (without bipod). Support class is dying.
4. Suppression is a joke. First shooting wins. That + lowping or highping = godmode.
5. LMG and HMG on Tanks shooting BB balls !!
6. Stationary AA on some maps is a big joke – still covering over half map and after last patch have almost no spread and low drop bullets. And still cant resp in it on most maps so baserape runs forever.
I’ve heard a lot of people saying LMGs are useless without a bippod but I haven’t had that problem. I found I’m still able to tear it up with my RPK using a foregrip and laser. As regards the heavier LMGs I can still get kills by using a foregrip its just a case of burst firing. Once you get a measure of it LMGs act like they did before the patch.
I vote that they just forget it, drop all work on this disaster and just move onto bf4 with a new engine please.
all patches dice have released needs patched. do they even test the patch before they release it?
stingers aren’t really designed for jets in the first place, I think all priority should be put on taking down attack helicopters as they are over powered
Now tanks are useless so they need to be put back to where they were before
Attack Helicopters being overpowered? They were never overpowered! At least on PS3 it was hard enough to stay alive pre-patch when 6 stinger-engineers were craving for your death, but post-patch it’s not even possible to even do a quick attack if 3 guys want to kill you!
Yeah, no, a good attack heli pilot on PC is impossible to take down. And I’m serious about the impossible part – barring incredibly lucky RPG shots, jet ramming, direct fire weapons, or an entire ground force consisting of javelins and SOFLAMs, you cannot harm an attack heli. Largely, they just have to dip down, fly evasively, abuse below radar, hills, buildings, ecm jammer, and gunner flares, and there is no window of opportunity for effective targeting, period.
Meanwhile, 10 roadkills later…
I agree RUFEI, the attack heli’s -with even a mediocre pilot in- are impossible to take down with AA. Flarespam, ECM and below radar plus the very short stingerrange makes it impossible to hit them.
Let alone lockon.
The PC version of BF3 has major balance issues with air-ground.
Fix the goddamned recoil too DICE, or you’re fuckin’ done!
im glad to see dice is quic to respond to this,this was the first thing i noticed wrong after the recent patch as this is pretty much usless right now.
