The trailers always make the game look like lots of fun, but then when I sit down to play it's almost always frustrating as hell to play.

We will publish an update to the BF3 PC game client on the morning of Friday April 27th.

The game client is compatible with the currently-live clients and servers.
There will not be any corresponding updates of game servers or central servers.
There will not be any downtime for Battlelog.

Since the patch is only code changes, it will be fairly small. I don't have the exact size in MB at hand, but expect it to be less than 100MB in size.

Changelist
* Origin wrapper updated
* AlienFX support
* Bugfixes to Eyefinity detection

-----

and im getting that cqc update for sure.

The only issue i can see with Close Quarters is they said because the levels were smaller they had more power to play with to create the destruction but on the old levels the destruction won't change. Won't that make the old levels feel dated already?

Don't kid yourself. The close quarters maps are to draw in Call of Duty players and that is the only reason. But they can't outright say that so they have to make some nonsense excuse like destruction.

Now that's not really a good or bad thing, it is what it is, though.

It's basic programming though. If you have a smaller area to work in you can squeeze more 'special effects' in. Hence the wondering if the other levels will seem a little polystirene in comparison.

I do agree with you about the fact it's probably to draw in the COD kiddies. It doesn't bother me as i much prefer BF mechanics to COD and so now i can stay in BF if i fancy a quick pray and srap small level romp

If you watched the videos though the destruction doesn't really look like it's any different than what we have now. It's all just small stuff that can be blown up and shot through an pieces of walls blown off.

I have watched the videos and i did see significantly different destruction to the current levels implementation.
I guess all we can do is wait and see but i still think a lot of user will have the feeling that 'something's missing' from the older levels'. Unless of course you're correct and the damage isn't as intense as made out to be.

Haha im finally getting back into some of my Support guns. They been ruining each gun one by one which each patch. But recently i discovered flash suppressors. I thought they were for reducing muzzle flash, so i never bothered with them. Turns out they help reduce the recoil, which has been added to each of the weapons i love in each patch. So im back to loving my guns again.

Sucks that i have to give up extended mag and stuff like that, but most of these guns i love holds 100+bullets per clip anyways.

i wish they'd fix the tanks though, so stupid how easily they are able to explode now, kinda ruins the point.

CQC is only bound to make the shitgun problem on BF3 worse. Great.

Though the typo was probably unintentional, I vote this for "post of the day".

In response, yes I agree.
