Go! Go! Go!

The newest and extremely long patch for Battlefield 3 hit Sony's PS3 a few days ago, and now that it has passed Microsoft's labyrinthine, torturous certification process, it has gone live for Xbox 360 as of today. The list of fixes was covered previously, so I'll link you to that rather than take up another whole page in this thread.

Things like fall damage, vehicle behavior, and weapons damage were all addressed after months of communication between DICE and BF3 fans. Expect the hefty update next time you put the disc in.

COD > BF3


Just thought I'd make up for all the trolls who troll the COD articles.

Seriously no frag round nerf? That's like the worst problem. Did this get addressed at all??

Haven't noticed a difference yet but only played for an hour or so. Glad to hear it.

If you're going to troll, at least be a troll that's played a BF game before. I say BF > CoD, but I at least played multiple CoD games to be able to say that.

But back on topic, I personally can't wait to be done with Gears 3, so I can get back into BF. By the time I am, the new map pack should be out.
I'm gonna ninja you!!

Your right I haven't played BF before. Maybe it is good. Wouldn't know. Only immature douche bags troll. Just thought I'd throw them a little of their own medicine since this is likely a good place to find them. Maybe they will look at it and realize how stupid and obnoxious the post is and learn something. Pigs would probably be flying in this scenario as well.
