Battlefield 3 Releases Enormous List of Planned Changes, Community Sites Tight-Lipped on Blackout

WOW

That IS one massive list

Most look good

Has anyone else experienced any issues configuring their joystick for air controls...???

HEAPS of changes I'm happy to see. Mortar out of spawn, MAV kill = Mav death, weapon tweaks here and there... Quite impressed.

Also, I wonder when the patch is due...

Lots. Probably not fixed from launch, IIRC the problem is that BF reports random bindings when setting up but works anyway, just have to ignore what it says you have set. That was my experience at least (Logitech extreme 3D pro)

Their should be a patch to let you click on the spawn map itself, instead of having to click on A,B,C on the left etc.

That is something I'd like to see as well.. I also miss "GIMMIE A HEALTH KIT YOU DUMBASS" and "I NEED SOME **** AMMO" from the q menu..

The one for the health kit already exists. You press the sidearm button to pull out the 9mm menu, and then you click on their butt for the action.

Then they drop health.

Typical EA...this patch will no doubt be 3GB plus in size.

That is probably this most idiotic criticism I've ever seen.

You know, i like everything in that list.
But yeah there are some bigger things like the menu after being killed, the 'squad' rush and am i right in saying that there is literally no VOIP in-team for PC?

From what I understand this would make latency/sync a nightmare due to the sheer amount of extra data this would force servers to deal with.

-Zooming shotguns with Buckshot and Flechette loads will now result in a slightly tighter cone for the pellets.

Wat.

Meh, kinda sounds right - to use the zoom/scope you put the shotty to your shoulder making for a slightly more steady shot than firing from the hip/side

I had to REMOVE all the key bindings as well as the joystick bindings - Then only put back the joystick bindings I wanted

The joystick config issue was always a problem. I've given up on jet flying in general because I'm a old-school joystick flyer and there seems to be a distinct disadvantage vs people who use kb + mouse. Now I'm focussing on learning chopper flying with a kb + mouse.

You wouldn't have to run the voip from the same server.
