Question for you guys playing on the ps3... Is your battlefeed loading or is it saying "unable to receive feed"

The latter bit. Even when I reset and reloaded and connected to EA, it was still 'unable to receive feed'.

Same. It's not important so I don't care.

I know that but I'm saying its using my doubled score to work out place on the scoreboard but it isn't doing it for anyone else. So the game says i finished 3rd on the board but then it uses the double score behind the scenes to work out if i got a ribbon.

It does happen for others as well. I had a game where I finished MVP but didn't get the ribbon even though I clearly was #1

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Mine is fine. Dont know why it says that for you guys. Although I did lose connection to EA today.

Edit-Patch notes were found to be bogus, So iv'e deleted them.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Thanks for posting that, but I hope it is not the actual patch list.

Why they are buffing almost all automatic weapons with better reload times is beyond me.

I would have also like to see claymore's stay after death, not C4 as support can now do kamikaze tank attacks and if they get killed, blow it up on respawn 👎.

Yup, It would make a lot more sense for claymores to stay deployed after death than C4 because once a Claymore is deployed it needs no further input from the user, So its not inconceiveable for someone to be killed by a dead players claymore. But for example, If your in a tank at Veterans retreat at Oman, A support attempts to C4 you, You jump out and kill him before he detonates his C4. He respawns at the construction site and then blows you up? Thats just stupid and a quite flawed mechanic of the game. The C4 should stay on your tank, So you would be vulnerable from it getting shot but it shouldnt be able to be detonated by the respawning player, that is fairer i think.

On the question of the legitimacy of the patch notes, If it turns out they are fake i will edit the post:tup:

 

[Patrick]

Added C-RAM on US carrier on Noshar Canals to avoid spawn camping

Yes!!!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Yes!!!

Yes but:

C-RAM and Pantisir are now destructible

I don't think this list will be it, so we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[NotThePrez]

Explosives now remain after death

Of course, this patch isn't official yet. It'd be cool if they made it (in the case of C4) that it's still deployed but the clapper doesn't work.

 

[Patrick]

Yes but:

The Little Birds will get destroyed by the AA Gun shortly. So i'm not too worried. The patch isn't official, though, so who knows.

 

[Brett]

Sorry for this long post, But im sure there will be something in here to intrest everyone.

Leaked Patch 1.06 notes, Were posted on Symthic then mysteriously taken off. They were supposedly translated from Italian, So excuse any mistakes in the grammar.

This isnt verified by DICE, So its not definite this is 100% accurate or even true.

Quite a few things I like in there, especially the M1911 buffs.

 

[Tzun]

Guys! M4A1, with or without foregrip?

 

[gogatrs]

Guys! M4A1, with or without foregrip?

M4A1+Suppressor+Foregrip+HOLO= FTW

 

[Daniel]

increased the M1911's min damage to make it fit better between the .44 and the M9/MP443
Reduced damage, range and recoil for the M93R
Increased the MP412's rate of fire and reload time (!) to highlight the .44's improvement in CQB (?)
C-RAM and Pantisir are now destructible
The air radar now shows friendly aircraft as well as enemy ones
The jets' guided missiles now lock on more quickly
Added C-RAM on US carrier on Noshar Canals to avoid spawn camping
Miscellaneous:
Friendly grenades now have a different colour
Added flag letters on the minimap
All players with at least one SS with the SMAW and the RPG can now choose which one to equip
Premium players can now choose which one of the two knifes to equip (ACB90/ Knife)
Decreased the SOFLAM's range
Added new Master Dogtags for: M9/MP443/M1911 Tact, M1911 Supp,M67 Grenade, Repair tool, Defibs
Removed minimap on hardcore

 

[gogatrs]

Haha didn't see the tags for the defibrillator and repair tool.
+1 ^

 

[Tzun]

M4A1+Suppressor+Foregrip+HOLO= FTW

Foregrip and Suppressor? If you have both then there is np difference because they disable each other.

[Edit]: Anyone else noticed that you can have a SS for med pac?

 

[Slash]

M4A1+Suppressor+Foregrip+HOLO= FTW

Agreed

 

[Ellis]

I disagree. M4A1 + 3.4x zoom + flash suppresor + forgrip.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I disagree. M4A1 + 3.4x zoom + flash suppresor + forgrip.

Depends on your preferences

Thanks for clearing up on that problem I had guys. It does seem very unfair on none premiums to have what i would say is a clear win on there part be taken away.

Basically what EA have done is make it practically impossible for non-premium players to get MVP ribbons.

I just went on (for me) an amazing streak where I "got" a MVP ribbon in about 5 rounds in a row, but didn't get any.

They are taking the divisive nature of Premium a little too far with this. It's bad enough that Premium players get priority server access but to deprive non-Premium players of their hard-earned ribbons like that is just too much in my opinion, but at least it's only when there's a Premium-exclusive double XP event and not all the time I suppose.

I take back what I said about being completely apathetic about BF3, I joined our clan meet on Monday evening and we had a large enough turnout to field two full squads. We had two squad leaders and we were all on the Teamspeak server so we were able to operate as one huge squad if necessary and it was damn good fun. It was a shame that the opposition was completely unable to cope but we did tell them they could use our TS to co-ordinate if they wanted to, no one joined it though. But yeah, despite my several time outs meaning I lost a lot of points and kills, I was MVP (before the 2XP addition, might I add) in the two games I managed to not get disconnected from, but it was all down to the squad in all honesty. Confidence: restored!

Also I love the SCAR-L. I have a slightly unusual setup: holo, suppressor and bipod. It's a great medium to long range rifle, would be better without the suppressor but I value stealth as it can balance out its short range weakness if you get lucky.

And playstyle.

Especially as I am about 2 ribbons from my first MVP 3 medal.

Symthic are reporting the patch-notes to be fakies by the way. 👍

I do not often find myself in a squad that works together. When it happens though, it is awesome. Two full squads working together would be even more awesome and would spell bad news for the other team, so long as the rest of your team is not useless.

Not really surprising though, is it? When you've got customers who have paid double what others have they're going to a) make it better for those who have paid and b) tempt those who haven't.

Conversely, as a Premium player, I'd be disappointed if I didn't get priority access. Not too fussed about double XP.
