Battlefield 3 Developer Talks Attachment Tweaks

Battlefield 3 developer talks attachment tweaks

DICE has more tinkering to do behind the scenes for Battlefield 3.

DICE has more tinkering to do behind the scenes for Battlefield 3. Next on the agenda, a host of tweaks being made to the weapon attachments in the game. Several weapons have already proposed changes underway, and DICE is looking to poll the Battlefield community for suggestions on how to make their game even better.

Alan Kertz took to the Battlefield 3 Reddit page to announce the new tweaks and take suggestions, which go figure, there have been alot of. Kertz says that the goal of the upcoming tweaks is focus on improving the under performing and under used attachments. But the developer did add a disclaimer to all of the tweaks mentioned on the page, "I'm not promising this will go live, and I'm not promising there will be an update."

Among the changes Kertz discussed, suppression class users may see a "buffed" bipod for faster deployment. While Heavy Barrel users will see increased maximum range and accuracy. For the full list of proposed and potential changes, hit the Reddit page, where the Redditors also added a slew of great ideas into the fold.

And while you're here, let us know what you think could/should be tweaked in Battlefield 3 in the comments section below.

Im wondering the same thing. If we’ll actually see a Dino mode or 2143. As much as I would like to see that. Im expecting another themed expansion on the lines of modern warfare…

Soo this generation of gamers finds this OK? Developers continue to sell us rushed products knowing that they could “tweak” or “patch” it later. And at the end of the day, these tweaks never fully iron out the game as much as a few more months of development would. Back in my day if a game a game-breaking glitch or broken mechanics we gave the games back and punished developers for selling half assed products. Look at skyrim, that game wins game of the year, gets 10/10 yet the game seems to be virtually unplayable for some people. Open up your minds kids, your getting shittted on by these developers
- Cool dude
  
  Im sorry but does 5 years of development sounds rushed to you?.
  
  Have you played BF3??
  
  No ofcource you havent. The gamplay is perfect.
  
  Its just that some weapons are overpowered but it doesnt make the game rushed. Lol.

  Games these days are much bigger, more ambitious and difficult to develop than older games. If every modern game had to be perfect before it was released, you’d be seeing 4 year dev cycles AVERAGE. And bf3 is far from broken. You wouldn’t know that of course because you haven’t played it.

  If Skyrim is unplayable then how come it is the most played game of 2011 (on Xbox360 and Steam)

Dino mode will be in a different battlefield game, just like when Bigfoot was supposedly discovered in gta San Andreas which turned out to be false but since many people wanted it it will now actually be in the new grand theft auto game coming out this year
- abc
  
  bigfoot was in red dead redemption undead nightmare pack
  
  i even had a trophy “5 years in the making” lol
Bacon

I want snow maps!
- Cool dude
  
  I read an article that some hinted a snow map in the next BF3.
  
  Do you have a battlelog account?
Bacon

Or a map taking place at an island with an erupting volcano
AIRFREAK

more open warfare, vehicle centric maps like oman would be nice. The smaller maps are ok but they get boring.
AIRFREAK

That would be so overpowered its not even funny
Cool dude
