New Patch Details:

Senior Gameplay Designer, Alan Kertz, looks to fans for feedback!

He recently revealed his thoughts on the infamous mortars in Battlefield 3, which have been receiving a lot of complaints lately. This is not so much because they are “over-powered,” but because they are often “spammed” and usually from an unreachable spawn zone.

One solution to this “annoyance” may lie with the recon class’ controllable MAV. Kertz recently thought out loud, “Seriously considering MAVs as a counter to Mortars. ECM jammers could destroy the Mortar with a few hits. Looking for feedback.” This could be seen as a particularly welcome solution considering it will allow more uses for the MAV. Let us know what you guys think down below!

For those curious, another bug that has been brought to his attention can be seen in this video. It involves the ability to use the IRNV optic’s vision while flying or driving any vehicle, making it rather easy to spot enemies. Kertz responded, “I’ll put it on the fix list, I know exactly what this is.” Expect a fix for this one in an upcoming patch.

Some other things DICE is looking into: more frequently are players experiencing spawning without a weapon. DICE has assured fans that they “are currently looking into this issue.” Fans have also been asking about colourblind mode and if will be incorporated any time soon. DICE responded, “we’re aware of this request and looking into it for future updates.” These updates have yet to be given a date but DICE promises “…SOON!! Please continue to be patient.”

I thought the whole point of Infra-Red was to make spotting easier? Thats why it takes so long to unlock, now they're taking it away?

Tried that IR glitch, doesnt work on PS3

LOL how did you get to that?

From what you've quoted, I gather there is a bug where you can retain your NV mode while in a vehicle (presumably by pressing circle to enter a vehicle while aiming through an NV scope?). Who said anything about removing NV? He said they were going to fix the issue...

well i had a massive rage quit today dazobaby and my friend zatochi can confirm, camping little shit snipers staying behind on op metro, only played it as we had a decent squad going

i know its a valid tactic but i had some unfortunate failed attempts at killing the bastard

[redVENGEANCE]

don't touch metro at all unless i have to!

[Symonator]

Metro conquest is alright but if you loose B it's game over, chokepoint is captured.

The same for grand bazaar which i fucking really hate because people bitch and moan that they get killed yet will happily play it in the first place.

I was using the MAV to guide you, I could have given clearer instructions really.
My Bad.

I find it more stressful jumping in and out of games to avoid particular maps TBH.

No problem, if you were using your headset I might have joined on you.
