Battlefield 3 taclight balance tweaks incoming
DICE has taken a good look at the glaring imbalance of Battlefield 3's dazzling flashlight, and decided to tone down the power of its blinding effect. IR scopes and mobile-anti air are under investigation too.
The original dazzling long-range taclight
And its less absurd new form

Mobile AA is honestly not that bad. Good enough pilots can avoid them. I honestly think that they don't need to be touched much like most of the game.

Personally BD3 is the most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer game, To each his own.

even though i only play the game with IR scope, i really hope they fix it. the only reason i use it because other people can use it too. it makes the game 100x easier. im a monster with it. it needs to go away so i can see battlefield how it was meant to be seen. basiclly when i play it looks like some weird futuristic shooter all the time.
-
but it looks so cool through the IR scope
-
-
I concur.
I mean I use it...and if they leave it I'll continue to use it because there's no good reason not to do given the huge disadvantage you're at without it (if others are using it)...but I'd prefer to see them tone it down. The only real benefit of it gameplay-wise is that it does make snipers a little more vulnerable (though the scope glare seems to do that well enough). -
-
I have noticed more people have that spec ops armor or whatever it is so only parts of the body glow in IR and not the whole body.
-

Yeah, I wasn't very good at gun combat but once i unlocked the IR scope on the SCAR I got a ton of kills fast.
-
Am I the only one who doesn't use them? I prefer to keep switching weapons, leveling everything I have up. I've gotten the Service Star on 12 different guns, and I usually dump it for something else right away. While the IR scope is nice, I like being able to put anything I want on any weapon, so sticking with one is not going to happen until I've finished them all.
-
-
I like the IR scope, it hides the hideous overbright whites and crushed blacks that they seem to be hell-bent on.

I disagree. THe other night there was a good pilot and two guys on guns and the other spots were engineers repairing mid air. The pilot was very good and it was just a rape train that flew everywhere and never got shot down.

So let me get this straight. A flashlight was otherwise preventing him from buying a great game otherwise?
-

It really isn't that big of a deal. Trust me, I've played 36+ hours of the game, it's not something to be concerned with. The number of people using it and the number of times it's made a noticeable impact on the outcome of a fight is ridiculously small. If that is your only reason, then yes I say it is a dumb one.
Nice personal attack btw.

I'm against a mobile AA nerf (besides the ground effectiveness) because all this does is make shittier pilots barely competent but makes really good pilots god like.
-
-
Also the A10 rapes tanks so bad. Like a 2 second sustained shot on a tank will blow it up.
-
are you bitching about that or no? cause the a10 would rape a tanks ass it shouldnt be as hard as it is to kill a tank with it
-
Then you've been seeing the AA tank wasted. A properly placed AA tank can completely lock down the skies with impunity. And destroy infantry. And sneak up and kill MBTs.
If the AA tank driver on Noshahr Canals DOESN'T get the MVP, they're doing it wrong.-
Or people on the ground just blow it the fuck up.

You know, they wouldn't have been so bad if they actually had a downside to them. Like a flashlight gives away your position as it does in real life, not just when you're blinded by it (like a laser). The laser pointer gives away someones position better then the tactical light. If you could actually see the cone from the flashlight that would balance it more then just nerfing it ever would and I don't mean just toning it down.
It's sad that they can't think of other ways to balance things besides linear states.
-
-
Yeah it was a pretty bright idea to tone them down a bit.
-
-
-
Stingers only really work when more than one player is firing, otherwise yeah, flare reload time trumps stinger's reload time.
-
Not to mention dropping flares causes you to lose a lock period.
-
this drives me nuts and is fucking stupid
-
-
-
you need a recon to use the soflam then their flares wont do shit
-
-
Please patch the keybind system for keyboards and joysticks (some models). I would love to be able to spot enemies and use the keys I like.
-
It sure would be nice if i didn't have to reach across the keyboard to spot something.
-
so mobile aa is to strong? realy if any thing its to light on power stop fucken maken every thing easy for jet and chopper whores christ learn how to fly and take out the right targets god damn console noobs

wtf, how could you be blinded by a flashlight from that far away in the daytime?
-
Yeah, doesn't make any sense.
-
-
well ... it's about time :)
-
