After canvassing the Battlefield 3 community on Reddit for feedback, DICE core gameplay designer Alan Kertz has initiated a major overhaul of the weapon accessory system in his hit new online shooter.

Kertz has resolved to fine-tune the benefit of each accessory for each individual weapon to ensure better game balance, and the Bipod in particular will be getting a lot of 'love' – when Kertz's refinements go live, this accessory will deploy faster, and deliver better performance in order to make using it more worthwhile.

Other buffs will include significantly increased max range and ranged accuracy for the Heavy Barrel, reduced horizontal recoil for the Foregrip, and reduced vertical recoil for the Flash Suppressor.

You can read the Reddit thread here – it includes a lengthy essay from Kertz on all his proposed buffs and nerfs, and the reasoning behind all of them.
