I think I'm gonna do it.

If you play Hardcore, this has always been the case, only with the .50 cal rounds though, which is accurate. (for a game)

There are no .50 rounds in BF3, the highest is the .338 in the M98B and they have never one shot killed unless you had been headshot before this patch in normal mode.

I think that since you play hardcore the patch hasn't affected your play as much, everything is already gimped in that mode.

Terrain what now?

BF3 was meant to have fully destructable/maniuplable terrain. It didn't.

It was enabled in the alpha and beta, they then disabled it in the beta after the first couple of days, citing they had a fix for it at release.

Your right, I should have researched beforehand regarding the round size.

How is hardcore mode gimped? That's what I think about Normal mode. Seriously, a full clip to down someone???

It's nowhere near a full clip unless you're across the map, hardcore makes the lag compensation far more prevalent since you die in half a second from everything.
Not to mention after the suppression has been turned to 9000 you can't even fire back and as usual everyone camps much more than normal since you die quicker.

BF3's normal mode is actually a good medium between the full clip shooting of BC2 and the near instant kills in hardcore.

I'm obviously not playing the same game then
