Someone with twitter should ask Alan about that RPG laser thing. I really want to know which it is.
Isn't it kinda obvious the former is just a typo?

+ Darklord confirmed it at MordorHQ
I hope they removed the lock-ons
Not only it's completely unrealistic (RPGs barely have any stabilization fins, let alone guidance systems), it's already hard enough to stay in air with everyone making you their priority target
I don't see a single bad change on that list. It's all reasonable, and it's pretty apparent that they listened to the feedback.
As far as RPG's go, they probably made it so you could lock on RPG's to designated targets so helicopters wouldn't dominate the shit out of the beta.
I don't think they went far enough with ammo packs. Ammo boxes still just seem like a better option. I loved med packs though. Running around and throwing heals at people is so much more fun then throwing a box in high-traffic areas.

You could hardly use any of the air vehicles in the beta though, as soon as you set off it was either lockon from the laser or some asshat sitting on the top of a skyscraper with a stinger while his support buddie threw down ammo bags.

The ammo packs over the bags/boxes, anyone with sense would take the bag. It just gives more.
Medic though the packs are better than the massive box. Don't heal as fast but the fact you can throw them half a mile is worth it.
Good changes all around. The only one I found odd was this one.
[quote]-Reduced and rebalanced full auto accuracy based on rate of fire for all automatic weapons to balance low ROF weapons. Low ROF weapons were remaining accurate long enough to get easy kills outside of their intended optimal range.[/quote]
At first glance it seems like this was a change to balance low ROF weapons and make them better by reducing the accuracy of high rate of fire weapons. But then in the second sentence it says that low ROF weapons were too accurate and killing at further ranges? Is this a nerf to low ROF weapons or a buff? It kind of conflicts with itself.
AK5C was too effective on range compared to ACW-R, hence a nerf.

I swear everytime i'm like "oh this gun perfectly compliments my style! i'm doing great with it"
Nope, actually just OP. Nerf time.
To be fair the AK5C had very little spread increase and recoil per shot.
Look at it on the bright side: they actually have to nerf the slow ROF guns this time around.
Means they're on the right side of things, at least.
Before I unlocked the carbines I thought they were op, then I used them and KNEW they were.
[QUOTE=Del91;42559322]Before I unlocked the carbines I thought they were op, then I used them and KNEW they were.[/QUOTE]
The ACW-R felt pretty crappy to me. AK 5C was great though.
They should have kept the carbines/PDW's how they were in BF3. Engineers got carbines, everybody got PDW's.
The PDWs were pretty decent though in the Beta I think.
So, I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now my BF3 won't run..
Getting the error:
"The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll"
Did anyone have this error with the trial 8.1 during the beta?

Just did 5 min google search.
It seems like it's very common problem with new 8.1 windows update.
Some people say it's common with SweetFX, so if you have anything like that installed, try deleting it.
You can check this topic I found for more info, I just glanced few post here and there, maybe you will find your answer.

So uhh...i hope they'll also patch up the slugs in BF4. They were pretty fine in BF3. Now they are weak ass hell and are inaccurate! Now they seem to be useless. Looks like they nerfed it!
It is so ridiculous that at 20m you can't even hit someone that's so close!
Really, if i miss 1 [b]SHOT[/b] then i will be already dead in no time.
For me, slugs takes skill to use, especially at long ranges. They play really differently than automatic rifles. If you make a kill out of it, you will feel very rewarding using it afterwards.
They need to bring it back!
[b]EDIT:[/b] Check this image of how slugs are changed from BF3 to BF4.

Look how ridiculous it is in BF4!
good or bad?
They've already said it's unintended and fixed in release build.

It's all over
No more laser assault rifle
Went to GameStop today and they were throwing out displays and stuff, grabbed a BF4 poster and box.

EB Games gave me some Double EXP thing, real dog tags, Air vehicle shortcut for bf3.

DICE professionals at work, making decisions on small amounts of anecdotal evidence and pretending to balance weapons for ranges (but actually just shitting out numbers, sometimes even just taking them from real life measurements)
I'm not sure this guy actually knows how long a meter is
Ideal range of 12-25m should be for PDW's and not assault rifles.
At that range you might aswell just throw the AR at their head and knock them out cold, you're wasting ammo otherwise.

Has the BF4 main theme been released?
I'm glad to see some of my favourite guns in that trailer. Namely that M60 and Sg553. Oh baby :v:
