Battlefield 3: Patch Day + What was Fixed?

[theshadowkid2000]

is this patch on xbox yet cause to be honest im not sure

[runescapeep1c]

@theshadowkid2000 it should be.

[xXtolgasavasXx]

STOP TALKING BACK GROUND PEOPLE!!!

[0Tanker0]

I know this is old, but it reminded me how the spawns on the Canals are still hilariously bad.

[SlightlyXxHDxX]

I hate the new patch :/ Well, at least the part of downloading it...I mean, It's taking a lot more time than the game itself..I could've probably downloaded the game like 5 times at the half of the time the patch is taking o.o

[SkullTraill]

What addons do you use on your jet?

[MrUberSpanky]

still spawning between 5 enemies :/

[MrJuzJoe]

Hey, levelcap... are you enjoying piloting the attack chopper lately after patch? Not only that it becomes prey to even novice jet pilots, stinger, 1 shot kill from soflam / javelin and mobile AA. DICE sort of makes the rocket pots for the pilot useless! It now fires at random directions. I can accept that it does fire at where the crossair is but even if you a-line the rockets it will start to fire at a new random spot.

[LevelCapGaming]

@MrJuzJoe It's harder for sure. I can still do alright on caspian because there is a forest to hide in with the chopper but map likes kharg are very difficult with the attack heli now. The missle aiming is not random it does take some getting used to. The aiming is now afects by the direction that your helicopter is moving. I'm starting to get the hang of it but there is still much to learn :)

[sfjp1]

brilliant video, lots of great information thanks : )

[xxxxCronoxxxx]

when did they do the patch for the xbox

[Mendezllk]

AGREE massively with the nerd to full-auto fire!

(..and I near enough jazzed my pants when I read the Jet mini gun is going to be doing more damage to choppers! Epic.)

[kodytube]

why playing core noobshit play some hardcore quit that 3rd person BS

[TheDownloader86]

So mines disapear, 20 second after my death? Very stupid, thank you DICE. But the video is nice, thanks for info.

[C0CKB1TE]

PUT A JET ON NOSHARR CANALS FOR XBOX AND PS3 PLEASE

[TheGFXUniverse]

Subbed <3

[coolcar100]

They also made it so on Capsian Border the tower falls at 10 tickets, it looks epic! I was standing

right next to it and an explosion landed next to me, I thought "what the hell?!" because there were no enemies nearby. I heard creaking, and then turned round to see the tower falling :D

[IanApples1977]

All this talk of a bf3 patch. Well where the hell is the xbox patch???

[coolcar100]

@IanApples1977 It's not on the Xbox yet, it's on PS3 and PC though. The patch also makes the tower on Caspian Border fall at 10 tickets on either team :)

[bertini18]

someone better than level cap in an air craft i would just quit the game turn off my computer and wait an hour until he leaves because i will do anything to defend my self against rape

[Moobob22]

@LevelCapGaming Why do you not have more subs? You're awesome :)

[raetme1]

Thanks for the Update! keeps me from reading so much

[GeneralOstrich]

You have alot of good opinions. Hope you share them with DICE via the Forums.

[KoNLaRz]

Remove the mortar !!!!!!!

[KoNLaRz]

LvlCap the new youtube phenomeon (Norwegian sry for awesome spelling) :D

[Jazzel93]

you said they INcreased the damage done by miniguns on jets and helicopters. But the patch notes tell different: "Decreased the power of Miniguns against Jets and Helicopters"

[RazorPhoenix7]

@Jazzel93 I think Miniguns refer to the guns on the Transport Helicopters; the Venom and Kasatka. "Jet Cannons" would be the guns on the Jets.

[R0GU3dotTV]

I bloody hate jets! Helicopters are fucking hard in BF3 and making the jets stronger is stupid! 2 bullets from a jet tips my heli >:( Also Im glad they fixed the laser painter an made the flares quicker :) and that AA tank, they best of nerfed the tank against infantry, people have been going 35-0 in those things... More recoil should only be on certain guns like F2k and AEK and FINALLy they nerfed the morters :)

[XxStussyTribexX]

@R0GU3dotTV More recoil on the AEK are you crazy? that weapon has a ton of recoil already! but I agree with the F2K that weapon doesn't have one flaw especially with grip!

[Cornelp1]

Wow. So they made the Air vehicles even more useless now. How nice, might as well give up on piloting. I mean I love Jets and really love Helis. Now, I cant do crap in the Heli anymore. How nice. thanks DICE for messing up the game EVEN more. Good info and video. Thanks...

[XxStussyTribexX]

@Cornelp1 Nah they didn't ruin air vehicles they actually made them better! LvlCap doesn't mention all the things they boosted, the heli's got a boost against infantry and land vehicles and stealth got nerfed so they can lock on at farther distances also I believe they got their damaged increased against jets so I think it is more balanced and jets are now able to be more effective against heli's, who are able to land at any time and repair themselves so good pilots can be near invincible

[Cornelp1]

@XxStussyTribexX Hmmm i guess ill wait for the xbox release and see what happens. Thanks for the info...

[XxStussyTribexX]

@Cornelp1 No prob the only thing us pilots have to worry about is the stingers and soflam as they got a boost as well, but I guess air radar shows incoming missiles so you can dodge more effectively but idk I'm on xbox as well so I'm only hoping what DICE is saying is true :P

[Cornelp1]

@XxStussyTribexX Wait. Incoming missiles are shown on the radar? Hmm I like that. I hope thats true now. U on xbox? Nice, add me pls, Im always looking for wingman or gunner/pilot on the Heli. XBL: WarD0minat0r (those are zeros). Thanks for the info. Im EST timezone and I always play in the evening, EVERYDAY lol. See you in battle...

[XxStussyTribexX]

@Cornelp1 Aight I'm on the west timezone and usually roam with a full squad but will add you incase im looking for someone if my squad isnt on or we need a fourth, my tag is: A Quick Deuce. Expect an invite soon :)

[Cornelp1]

@XxStussyTribexX Will do. Ill add you tonite when I get home. Thanks...

[wardogPC]

still no remap for air-brake

[chkdsk1991]

holy shit 4.2 gygabites :|

great vid

[Marchangsje001]

As a full time heli pilot i feel screwed... now jets kill you from theire bullets and rockets instead of suiciding ... what is worse... ?

[jimmyakakev]

keep em coming =]

[mistagtr]

the an-94 is awesome now bloody fun to rape with

[ExildMan]

We,the mobile AA guys will find a way to fuck up everyone,from infantry to the elitist Jet pilots.

[BeefSnakStik]

Watch the minimap at 1:00. Having a wingman rocks.

[cmanballa22]

wow that gameplay was air rape

[ncktbs]

i have yet to unlock even flares for the jet

[kang174]

TV missiles can still kill your own chopper, despite what the patch notes said... Me and my friend was playing last night for like 30 minutes and i managed to blow us up at least 4 times.

[MrOblivion94]

this is somewhat related but lvlcap i was playing back to karkand and so far on conquest and conquest assault there is alot of attack helicopters but i have yet to see a scout :( but i know how much you love attack choppers so i thought i would give you some heads up

[gunwhores]

As a heli pilot I feel screwed!

[11Reaper9]

The stringers are meant for choppers not so much of jets

[iwatchyardsalecrap]

lol im glad they nerfed the AA tank. I got in it not knowing what it was and got 16 kill no deaths. and 12 vehicles destroyed

[whityfrd]

the fact that you can fly around with no worry about dying while commentating for 9 minutes is a testament to the severe lopsided advantage to jet pilots. need i say more?

[Minotaur36191]

@whityfrd I'm pretty sure he was just commentating over old footage, not commentating while playing. Although I don't doubt that lvlcap could do that if he tried

[blazy19]

@whityfrd its funny cause he does the voice over after he plays the match

[utanede]

*thumbs up*

[whityfrd]

i really dont see what the point of increasing stinger damage is when the helis and jets have more flares than i have rounds. warding off a stinger rocket is just an afterthought to a jet pilot. makes me wonder what the point is in general. you have to have atleast two people working one jet with stingers to get a hit. fucking bullshit. wouldnt be so bad if i could use the damn thing on a tank or land vehicle.

[KuzuRanger]

@whityfrd i agree with you as to the pre-patch situation. but hopefully now with longer flare reloads + more stinger damage we can actually take out air vehicles as a solo Engineer. 

[drblog1]

With regards to the air radar, you could see almost everything -- spawn beacons, SOFLAMs, etc. Now you can only see laser-designated vehicles, vehicles with heat signatures above a designated threshold, enemy missiles (?*), and capture points.

Not sure what's happening with enemy missiles, because I was never able to see them, but it'll be interesting to see how that works out!

[EvenBattlefield]

@drblog1 In the games I've played it hasn't really shown much of anything, which is a real pain. It used to be my favourite perk for the choppers and the AA gun because you could tell where the ground vehicles were, but it's pretty much useless now. 

[LevelCapGaming]

@drblog1 cool thanks for the details on that fix!

[doctorrodders]

As helicopter pilot I'm going to be flying a lot lower to avoid the jets. try to follow me through these tight turns >:D

[MixedKidbx]

thank you for the info!!!!

[TheTortuga22]

There is no jets in Noshahr Canals...

[TheRandomname538]

I think the at mines nerf was pointless, why wont dice make it like bc2?

[KirbKirb20]

@TheRandomname538 This is a temp fix, the real fix is being worked on now, and should be out next patch.

[totter2]

The only time i use a mortar Is when someone else is mortar spamming, one shot kill lol.

[wazzzzzzzzzzup1]

i can download b2k its awesome

[harrison918]

Have ps3 and LE. Still cant download B2K ARGHH!

[ESELkoek]

@harrison918 Me too!

[athfuhshgh]

they should't screw the aa tanks

[Tsquare28]

you gonna do a video 4 b2k?

[codssmd]

@LevelCapGaming what is a platoon?

[Pyro333P3Train]

worried about jet minigun damage going up but what can you do. I like the old video screen shot titles more. And you have not linked the patch notes.

[Alltid1337]

great video as always! :)

[chungawanga]

this is real cool

[1337Roflc0pt3r]

DICE: Download should be around 2GB

Reality: Patch is 3.9GB

DICE trolling again
