I agree! Like I said earlier I understand the complaints about the brightness the tact light had BUT I felt in the game format it worked because there is a pro/con associated with it.

Pro - Made enemy struggle to hit you due to blindness
Con - Easy to spot from distance due to light

Now with the nerf of the light, I said you will see much lower numbers of them because where is the benefit of carrying one??? In that lower screen shot there is nothing in the lower screen that would prevent me from hitting my target, thus the light is now useless. Also if only in close CQB encounters will it be worth while then the numbers drop even more due to lack of CQB maps.

So basically all in all they made the light more realistic but for sure not worth the spot to equip. Tact Light now = Useless

This is coming from someone who has only equipped one once on a shotgun last week.

I am sure there will still be the sneaky sniper with a tac light on. Yesterday on Tehran Highway, two snipers were upstairs in a building with tac lights on. I sent a tank shell their way.

I was never really bothered by the light because most of the time they had the drop on me anyways so death was inevitable.

The only change to guns that I want to see right now is the planes guns. If they make them a little more powerful it won't feel like Air Combat is useless. Ground units will appreciate a skilled pilot to either take out an enemy plane or give them Close Air Support.

In BF1942 I loved those bombing runs on Gazala.

Yea Chizzy I agree on Jet cannon. Personally I see VERY little buffs or nerfs needed. The balance of the game so far seem excellent.

I think one nice change I would like to see if have the Red Dot Lazer sight automatically "spot" targets. Thus given the Sniper a reason to use one without having to constantly sit on the back button.

Pro - Easier and faster spotting + blinding
Con - Easier to be spotted as it draws fire back to your hiding spot

Same here. The balance is very good. There is never a time where I actually think that a gun is superior to the other. Even the Scar, I don't see the need for a nerf. I have been using this lately and it doesn't feel like its any more powered than any other gun.

This makes more sense now. Both pics the soldier should be at the same distance. I think with it nerfed now, it is more realistic to real life. The top picture would make sense if the light was about 5 feet from you, not at the same distance as the soldier in the bottom screen.

Exactly, +100.

Here's a strategy that works on Op. Metro for conquest, if you're the RU. Today, I was just getting rolled, and my teammates were mostly snipers for some stupid reason. Once they captured the cafe I knew the round was over and I was just focusing on somehow trying to capture a checkpoint. Well, I decided that I would try to capture C and force them back from A, maybe I could relieve some of the pressure on my team. I decided to enter the ticket hall from the right side instead of the center or left. That way, it put me closer to the turnstyles and it would be a mad dash. Well, after a few deaths, one of my teammates figured I was onto something. So he and another random joined me.

Eventually we made it through but they stayed at B for reasons we understand and were promptly cut down. I paused for a second to recognize their sacrifice and proceeded to C. I waited for a few to make sure no one that died would respawn there and proceeded to lay C4 to protect the perimeter. I waited for agonizing seconds then finally people began to spawn on me. We captured C, detonated the C4 to kill those that were curious abou what was going on. In the meantime, the US withdrew to see what was going on, the RU randoms rushed and captured A. So now we had A and C and turned the tide of the battle. It went from a 210 to 80 shellacking to a close defeat for us. But it was fun.

Nicely done.

Re: Battlefield 3

Anyone notice a difference in randoms today, seeing COD has finally released?

Not to be rude,but posting this question in both forums,what kind of answer are you expecting?

I'm sure in the other forum you're going to get several COD recommendations,and posting in this forum you're going to get BF responses.

What it comes down to ultimately is your preference...***n and gun fast arcade action? COD......Slower more methodical gameplay? BF3

I was looking for 2 sides of an argument. But I have already made my purchase. Battlefield, here I come. (pause)

Re: Battlefield 3

I love the down to the wire rounds of conquest. It feels great to try and grind out the win. Each team or even my own team down to about 30 tickets, and it's just a matter of capping more than half the points and just sitting on them. We were down about 50 - 150 and our squad split to hold B and C with the other teammates doing just about the same. They also had the 2 man advantage.
