BF3 Patch #1 Details (10/28/11) by Whos Henry (Battlefield 3 Gameplay/Commentary)

[MrRifleMaster]

Cool story bro

[summo121]

What was the first map he is playing on?



[Robbieman111]

@summo121

I think Kharg Island

[WBFC1995]

PS3 always has communications problems. Well I guess you get what you pay for, which is nothing in their case.

[Dan1428Gaming]

@WBFC1995 ps3 never has communication problems, except in this game.

[WBFC1995]

@Dan1428Gaming In Homefront and CoD I had communication problems so did others.

[scarletinne]

@WBFC1995 You get nothing? Updates for your games, the ability to play online with friends etc etc is nothing? Yea and i never had any communication problems lol. You really sound smart bro...

[WBFC1995]

@scarletinne Smart? What has smart got to do with this? 'Nothing' as in paying wise you clown not in features. Think before you reply.

[MyThePooP]

Dice-33

[TheMayonnayse]

Patches already?? HAH

[TheRuthlessTopHat]

@TheMayonnayse

All games need patches, its good that BF3 is releasing them early because they recognize the problems with their games and are going to fix it as soon as possible.

You must be between the ages of 12-15 and a COD fan so I'm probably not going to try to argue with you further.

[vicx05]

WHERE are the source links?

[AlotofCarnage]

wish the semi auto snipers would be buffed up to a 2 shot. 3 shot is a bit of a annoyance. Also the TDM spawns are terrible so wonder when there fixing them? Apart from that good info :)

[TheEvan1811]

@AlotofCarnage They are 2 to 3 shots this isnt cod where you shoot some one in the foot and they die insantly it has to be in the central area not the arm not the leg not the fooot 

[AlotofCarnage]

@TheEvan1811 There 2 shots if you shoot them in the head twice. They do 30 damage roughly if its just a normal chest shot. i never once said i want it like cod. i never said i want it a 1 shot cause for BF3 that wouldnt be right. Also if you shoot someone in the a leg or foot they wont die in one shot on cod unless there already injured or if its cod4 with the acog. I think 3 shots is just a bit much especially on a long distance shot. hard enough hitting 1 let alone 3.

[TheEvan1811]

@AlotofCarnage 2 shots in the head ? never heard or seen that i get 1 shot (uninjured of course) and 2 to 3 shots

[AlotofCarnage]

@TheEvan1811 With the bolt actions its 1 but with the semis its 2. Thats why they should be buffed in my opinion

[TheEvan1811]

@AlotofCarnage i never said bolt action

[AlotofCarnage]

@TheEvan1811 i know? I just brang it up as another example?

[TheEvan1811]

@AlotofCarnage What i am saying is IT IS 1 shot to the head with semi and 2 to 3 shots in the body semi [injured its 1 (some times) ]

[simbasnm]

when we will can have the patch???

[CrashtestGames]

thanks for the info. very frustrating to play bf3 right now with the lag, the party system, the communication issues (yes i'm on PS3), no mute button, useless jets... fix it up guys!

[NZLInvader]

ok, nerfing the stinger made my day. also, for choppers it should show up on their radar or something where the stinger lock on is coming from. as well as that, FIX THE BIPOD. it needs to be a different button than left trigger, sometimes it wont work and sometimes ill want to aim in prone without my bipod so i can look up more. make stationary AA not indestructible, and make the mobile AA weaker. cmon DICE we want balance!

[fearofthedark88]

SO... no helicopter buff? helicopters needed flare respawn time cut in half at least.

[nhlkingen55]

@fearofthedark88 WHAT? If you're the Main gunner, and a friend of yours is the secondary gunner, you can just run flares both of you. So like this:

"Lock-On", you drop the first flares, lock-on goes away and your flares starts to reload.

Lock-On again, your friend drops his flares, and now your flares is already reloaded.

[BallonkaSwe]

I often have a glitch where the crosshairs on the shotgun disappeares. Does anybody else have this problem?

[eXtraReSiSTaNCe]

i thought the beta was to fix bugs, yet there are still loads

[ToBeDeterminedLater]

PDW buffs? YES PLEASE! 

[WhiteDragon1021]

finally more aussie servers thank god!

[triggcall123]

what a bout rubberbanding its the biggest problem at the moment...

[CIAN4FAEP]

thanks for the info

[456dna]

Singapore servers D:

[sndvl1527]

Thy need to patch the portable suns. Getting blinded in broad daylight by a flashlight is stupid. And especially from far away.

[jakanddax0]

@sndvl1527 The flashlight is a "feature." Also, what about the sun itself and also the other weather effects that don't let you see anything?

[sndvl1527]

@jakanddax0 i know it is. its meant to blind people in CLOSE QUARTERS. and DARK AREAS. Not outside a mile away in broad daylight.

[adsasfd]

They should change the flash light its stupid blinded from a mile away goddamn thats harsh!!

[AwesomePanda34]

YAY!!! More Australian servers!!!

[WhiteDragon1021]

@AwesomePanda34 oath man we need about 400 more

[MyNameIsRewind]

Thank You! Theres only 4 to 0 Australian servers u can find -.- sigh

[Coltc8]

Since when does nerfing mean giving more power? Confusing and annoying info.

[Boglaboll]

Cheers for this vid mate, very helpful.

[hotdfrog]

thank god more aus servers!

[slayer100141]

nerfing the stinger -.- really..... -.-...... its not needed.... its hard enough to hit a jet with a stinger if its a good pilot now its going to need twice the amount of stingers or more -.- really.... that seems unfair,,, the only way to take a jet out now is to take it out with another jet..... i mean really when it takes almost 6 stingers to take out a jet sometimes because the pilot actually knows how to use it... it will now take 12 or more wtf.... no nerf is needed... -.-

[racoonanator97]

Thanks but do u know when we will be able to play the back to karkand maps

[Demonat865]

@racoonanator97 when it comes out for everyone, we just get it for free if you preordered

[UnderdogLT]

@racoonanator97 december

[JP8940]

Spawning with no gun has happened to me.

[dachamp74]

@MoonLamb89 u can, not while ure alive though, just press left or right on dpad and u get a different class

[pwnt7]

I've spawned with nothing in my hands. Unable to do anything but run around.

[lolJoely]

Australian servers!!!!!!!!!

[MrKingLeO213]

lol flying ragdoll

[mattc116]

woo hopfully soon ill be happy and start supporting the game right now hard to tell people to buy it in the state its in now

[CooleioBeans]

should i get this and mw3 or.... mw3 and skyrim?...

[MoonLamb89]

This is the first bf game that i have got and tell me if its always been like this but why cant we change our classes in between rounds?

[JJJBLKRose]

I assume the 10 +1 magazine sizes are due to guns having a round in the chamber.

[MoonLamb89]

@JJJBLKRose it is

[TheAsianRusher]

Why is there 10 + 1 clip sizes and stuff?!

[WhosHenryy]

@TheAsianRusher Because a round is in the chamber.

[33abz]

@TheAsianRusher You can reload with one round still in the chamber.

[nikosyv]

The jets are easy, so many noobs in the air = free kills

but the stinger is toooo powerfull

[ClyroXIII]

glad they're fixing the Aussie Servers cos they're fucked atm. Just hope they keep up the support

[NickyboyOC]

why is the stinger getting nerfed. the jet flys fast enough and they will get shot down anyways if they dont have flares on. Its the pilots fault for not having flares.

[MrXRoachx]

Omg i noticed that they must have nerfed the ump last night when i unlocked it!! In the beta it would rape face but in its state right now it sucks hairy lepercauhn balls :P

[sixDUMBbeaners]

they fix these bugs, and bf3 could live up to its potential. right now its not. i want call of duty to shit bricks over battlefield so they will wake up and produce better games.

[TheMightyGub]

Why nerf the stinger one time I couldn't shoot a guy down coz every time he was using flares I think you should only be allowed to use 3 flares much better If you like shootin shit DOWN!!!!

[Jorgerico87]

Its got 99 problems and "the vehicles" is one

[Hanu951]

They schould fix the crosshairs of many guns i often run around without them and that sucks

[lilwrath8]

@Hanu951 switch to your pistol then back to your main gun and the crosshairs should be back...the same thing happens to me alot

[funnystone64]

Patches FTW

[codyluna23]

i like all those patches :D

[MFINN23]

Oh yeah spawn points suck too

[MFINN23]

Flashlights and vaulting are the only things that bother me and neither are getting fixed....

[13xzanezanex13]

i thought that theater mode was being added in the patch....damn

[AvengedCriminal]

Stinger getting nerfed? It's hard enough to kill an experienced pilot as it is. They need to increase the time it takes to deploy more flares.

[MrBrodieCromar]

They should make it so tou can 'dropshot' like in the beta and also sort out the tactical light in daytime out door areas

[MFINN23]

@MrBrodieCromar dropshotting is retarded but I agree on the flashlights

[MrBrodieCromar]

@MFINN23 its not even the animation, its the not being able to shoot or aim from prone to crouch or vice cersa

[soccerdomination33]

I think he thinks that nerfing means increasing or decreasing the damage but it just means decreasing damage

[SUBinfinit]

@nupme thats because right before you shoot you need to aim up in the air

[nupme]

Patch the fucking Javelin missile, it hits the ground in front of stuff that its locked on.

[wr3add]

nerf means to make weaker

[abcRebel]

I want to make things clear... ALL GUNS in BF3 are the same damage per bullet. NO exceptions.

[Ha1frican]

@abcRebel shotgun slugs...

[abcRebel]

@Ha1frican those arent bullets -_-

[Ha1frican]

@abcRebel uh yeah the slugs are

[abcRebel]

@Ha1frican shotgun ammunition are not bullets. slugs or pellets. they dont load bullets into shotguns.

[Ha1frican]

@abcRebel slugs are just big bullets loaded into the shells, and you dont load a bullet into any gun you load in a round

[abcRebel]

@Ha1frican you do load bullets in, i didn't say "bullet" in the singular perspective. anyway slugs are NOT bullets. they are just larger PELLETS. metallic balls if you will. Bullets are not shot gun shells or any shot gun amunition. I hope you know bullets are designed to go in straight lengths, shotguns are scattered.

[Ha1frican]

@abcRebel most modern slugs are bullets, they used to be more ball shaped but alot are essentially big bullets inside of shells, and again you load in a round not a bullet, the bullet is on the end of the round

[abcRebel]

@Ha1frican You impathetic moron. Do you even know what you are talking about?

[Farismaster1]

two best things i heard from this- fixing the squads and making jets more powerful :D

[Kardelification]

WOOOO more aussie servers

[resonatorproductions]

i dont think they should nerf the stinger....how do you combat a good helo pilot who constantly rapes your team? flying jets and helos should be difficult not easier.

[randomguys2]

@resonatorproductions i agree. With flares jets are hard enough to shoot down...

[rpglover101]

@resonatorproductions I think the damage is high. Essentially one-shotting everything is definitely too powerful, but the time between flares or the number of flares, should be decreased. In an ideal world (how DICE wants the game to be played), there should be more than 1 guy who pops out with the stinger when a chopper/jet comes around.

[Judothrow5]

1:56 LMAO WTF!

[Thejohnnygmm]

Whos Henry?

[TheFASTScoper]

Dont know what other people may think of this, but i think bolt action sniper rifles like the SV98 and M40a5 should take only one shot if the bullet hits the enemy above the legs

[52887tj]

wow i spent one whole game just shooting at one guy in a jet and i never killed the jet and he never went down.

[mattrip]

Any news about the audio cutting out on PC? Had it happen to me a bunch in Multi-player and single player campaign. Unless it's just me ofc.

[Aaronspark7]

At 2:00 did anyone notice his jet crashing into the giant explosive oil tank but his jet was still in one piece.

[DibbzTheLoner]

To clarify about pistols: I think Henry misspoke when he said "sidearms are getting a nerf", he should have said they're being UNnerfed.

Whether they will be as powerful as they were in the Beta or not I don't know, but DICE is responding to the fact that sidearms were rendered very weak when they were nerfed from the Beta into the release.

In previous BF games sidearms have always been quite powerful, and I believe a DICE employee said they were "giving pistols some love".

[WhosHenryy]

@DibbzTheLoner Yes I did sorry about that, I meant they are getting a buff, apologies.

[DibbzTheLoner]

@WhosHenryy No need to apologise, good sir. I think many people would have been able to interpret what you meant anyway.

[Saudedell]

sniper rifles 1 shot kill ! >:O

[mountainsarecoolful]

@Saudedell too over powered. ppl would run around and just be indestructible. no accuracy required

[Saudedell]

@mountainsarecoolful Just for the barrett (m98b) ?

[monkeyniko]

There is lots of lagg and framedrops on ps3 too. They should fix that.

[DibbzTheLoner]

1:58 holy shit you survived o_0

That was epic!

[christ8laze]

They need to give the snipers a buff!

[Buggyfly3791]

The stinger shouldn't be nerfed. If you have taken the time to get a mere 300 points for jets and helicopters you can avoid the missiles easily.

[superskunk5555]

LOL stinger getting a nerf? Its fine, FFS its a stinger missile it should disable the bloody jet.

UMP needs a little buff

LMGs need to be nerfed or the grip removed, it is too easy to run and gun with it.

The spawn thing is if they die using a piece of equipment.

The PP2000 is stupidly good at close range. it is a sub machine gun/machine pistol it shouldn't be good over range! a G18 is a machine pistol, should it be as good at mid range as a rifle? NO!

[chipaggie12]

@superskunk5555 I definately agree with you on that no doubt

[runerage202]

bf3 having problems!?

didnt notice anything in the beta LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[deidikx]

@runerage202 is that meant to be funny ?

[runerage202]

@deidikx clearly you havent played the beta.

[deidikx]

@runerage202 yh i have :L but is not like ur shit joke is meant to be funny u troll

[runerage202]

@deidikx did you just get out of school?

get to your homework, thanks.

[Kevfate]

what about a fix of the flash light and the laser . i shouldnt be blinded in the sun by a flashlight and a laser shouldnt blind me at all ...

[migaxxx]

I bet that in real life if you hit a Jet with a stinger it will disable it right away so why should in game be different?!?!

And what about that jet colliding and players running towards the sky? LOLs

[PinkFloydFan95]

why make stinger weaker its meant to take down aircraaft if ppl r complaining they are fucking idiots

[TONEdaMC]

The snipers need more power...but aye add me on ps3 E_MAZE_N an follow me if u like on twitter @TONEdaMC

[kanichiwoh]

2:33 Fail!

[RussianSnipeU]

why does my party keep getting split up on ps3? Its really annoying.

[jordrl66]

Over last couple of days ive seen improvement in getting into a game with a party on PS3 so there obviously fixing problems before the patch is officially released

[Havoc88x]

for gods sake. fix the spawn points in tdm. people spawn right in front/ behind you. please fix the leaderboards on xbox. and fix what ever these bhl guys are doing to boost

[Fletch360PS]

PTFO

[jackD546789]

When is the new map pack being released?

[joshuatimco]

thank god

[Xanoptic0n]

great, they nerfed the stinger which I had deemed useless without 2 people using them with perfect timing.

[bassmasstaa]

@xNO4H How do you unlock them?

[mnkyjunky]

This is great news!! Lets hope the fixes work

[mastr980]

Almost time for the "Back to Kirkland" map pack to be released. Hurry up DICE.

[RixxYbrolleyTash]

Any uk gamer selling a copy? I'm poor and kinda feel your not even trying to help me out GAWD! msg bk.

[VirgilMastercard]

@RixxYbrolleyTash Sad.

[BertoBeats]

YES. I was wondering why the thing wouldn't get me any fucking kills.

[zmed93]

Where did you get this info?

[andrew688k]

Now I can't go in the F-ING server again.

CRAP

[speedy123321]

wtf, they should nerf the mortars make it limited ammo with no refill until spawn

[ThorvaldFan999]

@speedy123321 why mortars are awful as is, if they nerfed them they would be absolutely useless(if they arent already)

[xNO4H]

@speedy123321 have you used the mortars? its really hard to get a kill unless the person being aimed at is standing still.

[SCOTTYHG1]

@speedy123321 no hating or anything but why dont u just get a mortar and kill them or go up to them and kill them thts wat i do

[TheRascal5678]

no team deathmatch spawn tweaks? the spawns are ridiculous you literally spawn infront and behind of enemys its worse tha nblack ops nuketown spawns

[NutHoofd]

They should do something about the unrealism of when you leave a jet or a helicopter, because right now it (The vehicle) falls like a not-moving feather.

[C0MINGinH0T]

They need to patch the snipers they suck!

[jake546213]

i was really hoping that they would lower splash damage on explosives 

[kproc131]

please fix the ps3 communication problemssss!!

[SuperHen3ry]

Oh My God! No way! A guy that is British and also has the name Henry! BTW. I'm Henry. Check the name.

[foshizzlemygrizzlful]

What the hell?! What about Xbox, you can't use the quick match game! Fix it!!!

[ScornfulReFleX]

PS3 sucks, SHOCKER.

[TheWejoo4]

@ScornfulReFleX u suck

[Jespertheshort1]

@ 1:56 "they're also going to be nerfing the pp-2000 and which means they are going to be putting some more damage in that" Doesn't that mean it's getting buffed?

[7FlyingPenguin]

i had a glitch where i had no HUD for the whole game they need to patch that

[Rimoledde]

thank you :)

[vincentvanmierlo]

can someone help me with some pc bf3? It keeps crashing. pm me plz!

[T0xinCF]

@vincentvanmierlo I can help :) Tell me the error + PC Specs + Drivers.

[Rimoledde]

how can i open the parachute on the ps3? :)

[123Jandrew]

@Rimoledde when ur guys free falling press x

[dadedraak]

@Rimoledde

X

[micahjones81]

@Rimoledde hold down X

[Marktim84]

can anyone tell me what that box was at 4:00? i couldent figure it out in the beta, does it mean you can spawn where you place it?

[thieso31]

@Marktim84 You can place the box as a recon and when you've placed it you and your squad can spawn on that location.

[123Jandrew]

@Marktim84 Yes,and the rest of ur squad can spawn on it its called a spawn beacon.

[nuckchorris481]

@Marktim84 it's a mobile spawn point, most of the time you will spawn right on it (when it's placed inside) other times you may parachute down around the point you place it (this has happened a few times when I placed it outside)

[xSHFHxUNDEAD]

@nuckchorris481 that happens to me every time i put it down i thought that was normal lol
