BATTLEFIELD 3

DICE wants your feedback on Battlefield 3 accessories01/04/12By Prima Games

DICE wants your feedback as it works out how to tweak Battlefield 3's accessories.

Core gameplay designer Alan Kertz started a thread on Reddit titled "Discussion of BF3 Weapon Accessories, and their Futures!" in which he said said he was working on changes to the shooter's accessories because "I feel the player is limited in choice due to a few accessories being the clear winners in almost all categories".

He admitted those accessories that are over-used will be nerfed, but insisted the focus of his effort was to improve under-performing and under-used attachments.

"Additionally it is the intention for an unmodified weapon to offer the best balance of Recoil, Accuracy, and Stealth," he said.

Kertz was unable to promise there will be an update to the game to tweak accessories - right now he's just after feedback and a discussion.

But he did propose a number of changes himself. Kertz suggested a nerf to the Foregrip ("currently it has no downside") and Suppressor ("not an overpowered, just over used/general purpose, accessory"), and a buff to the Bipod ("doesn't offer enough benefits on Carbines and Assault Rifles to be worth using"), Heavy Barrel ("aimed accuracy increase is useless") and Flash Suppressor (underwhelming generally).

01/21/12 - I swapped and changed attachments on various guns, finding very limited and only slight differences. Suppressor & Holograph seem to work with my basic standard. Flash Suppressor would overtake if changes happen.
01/15/12 - that isnt a bad ideer i would like the f2000 to be like it was in the beta
01/05/12 - I think that you guys should make the F2000 how it was in the beta. It was amazing then and is still good now, but better then. :D
