Battlefield 3 - IRNV Nerf - PC 6/12 Patch

[gregthegriffin]

Seriously now... I admit, this was a little cheap because the range was very long, but still, you have to make it this close? I stood about a meter away and then backed up to 5 and it made them go dark! Seriously?! What the heck am I supposed to do with this now? I guess I'll just nade spam to make up for this obvious stupidity! If DICE really wanted to make this fair, they needed to cut the range in half of this thing, not this much! 100 kills for this... And I earn a useless scope, whoopee...

i mean it MAY come down to people abusing it, like hiding behind something with literally no visibility and killing people. u cant see them w/ or w/o IRNV scope, u can barely see there hair and they kill u type of thing. kill me once shame on u, kill me twice shame on me. lol

[Dsi1ver]

i dont think it was OP at all i think some talented people had the potential to abuse it, but then again the same people would abuse anything they could anyways. I would get kills MVPs, w/o IRNV , i unlock some IRNV i use them np, sometimes i change it up,w.e. now ever since the patch came out i never used IRNV scope and guess what, i still get MVPs so skills arnt dependent on it.

I'm glad they made this useless, it was WAY fucking OP before this. Who uses this anyway? I personally prefer anything over this, even pre-patch.

[icancount123578]

Have you people even used it, it's not useless. Its great for close range engagements, and if that's not your style of gameplay then don't use it.

[scotty12347]

What a mess. WTF DICE

[rambomator]

Nice, they made a 100kill scope completely useless.

[Vmt16]

@rambomator You got the 100 kills without the IRNV just fine.

[esspro]

its like being blind!

[infraction2008]

@esspro Get some skill then

Looks like they used plain Night Vision and took away the Thermal Optics. Too bad I liked it even though it was a little too detailed. I think they should try to use current generation technology which does Night Vision and Thermal optics. So something between this nerfed one and the highly detailed one before the patch.

[whityfrd]

went from highly useful to broken completely. its acutally a disadvantage now. oh well, was a little fun while it lasted.

[maz0r]

It has nothing to do with % of health its time in focus - at range.

[TruHeel23]

good

[anthonym2121]

well looks good to me so when you are at around 11% health they show up. just inflict damage to yourself and it works perfect like want it

[LANDOPERK]

Still not enough.

[P1n3apqlExpr3ss]

@LANDOPERK

really? most of my kills are from shooting just below the red markers ive spotted...

[stonesourbonez20]

@LANDOPERK lmao hes just shooting at the name tags since you cant even see the person. I guess they should just remove it from the game.

[chivenyc]

wow, it's fucking useless now. 

[TruHeel23]

@chivenyc go use a normal scope like everyone else

[M3G4G0TH]

thanks, i am just downloading the patch and this is one of the biggest changes for me. i like it.

to be honest - i got so addicted to the IRNV scope that i didnt use anything else. it was kinda weird though looking at this beautiful game through the dull scope. so i tried coming back to Acog etc but getting killed by IRNV scope ... i didnt want to give THEM the advantage over me. and now - finally, no more IRNV spam, people, including me, will start using proper scopes - i hope. :)

[max82power]

Thx for the quick post! How is it on an actual night map? Is it viable there?

[ManPowerNL]

I hope it stays this way.

IRNV was waaaay to overpowered before this patch.

[Radianceable]

@ManPowerNL Now it's over-nerfed and underpowered.

DICE pro developers.

[MgBagg]

And that how it's supposed to be!
