Feel alot of stuff is still broken after this latest patch
At least they nerfd the thermal scopes, they arent as powerful as before.
Yeah they changed the brightness and range of the tactical lights aswell I think. Should have done away with them altogether imo.

Everyones still using them, i use them..don't feel they have changed all that much..you can still see ppl clearly in daylight even if there standing next to a burning tank.

Game needs some sort of realism when it comes to these things..specially the support class weapons, you can spray from 10-20 meters away and still hit every time..the foregrip addon is far to OP..As for the tactical lights i thought they were a fresh thing when i was playing beta but yeah, now there just annoying..getting blinded in broad daylight by a tiny flashlight on the end of a gun is just stupid

it's well easy to drop someone with a flash light on, just aim above the the middle of the light.

m249 & foregrip & RDS with double ammo is great

if your whole screen is white? doubt that

support class is so annoying, most just camp somewhere with their fucking bipods.

wake island is cool, though kinda hard on attack with 64 players

So I'm setup as a Support sentry on the outskirts of the Army Outpost on Kharg Island, it's pretty close we just pushed back the Russians to the Gas Station. But then an entire armoured column shows up. 2 tanks and anti air. I can do nothing but hide as these tanks roll past, I spot them all and our chopper takes out the anti air, but catches a shell from one of the tanks and smashes into a building. My squadmates are hunkered down across the outpost and are drawing heavy fire from the tanks. I run out and place 2 c4 packages on each tank, run and detonate. 5 kills, 2 tanks and a woop later, I'm feeling this is one of the most satisfying games I have played.

Check map rotation list on the server browser once you've selected a server and are at the info screen, you can find servers that have mostly B2K maps and also look which is current on the rotation and check whats coming up next, get a couple favorited that have maps you wanna play on running at different times in the overal rotation, that way you can pick and choose say a sertain server thats got 3 B2K maps, once the 3rd has finished quite out and join another thats just started a clump of B2K maps.

I do this with Air vehicle maps as I purely play anti armour close air support. Viper FTW!! Fucking loving Bf3 btw, it has its flaws fo sure but overall it is dam fun to play.

Anyone on PS3?

yup, there's 3 like tab things half way down on the right, the first window shows things like how many kicks before a ban, respawn time percentage e.t.c., top of that lil box thing, 3 tabs, middle one is the map rotation list. Last tab is like 'friends on server' or some dumb shit.
