DICE is “making good progress” with BF3 PS3 Input Lag and VOIP Issues

MP1st - Daniel Matros gives Battlefield 3 players an update on the input lag and VOIP issues that have been holding back the PS3 version.

Majin-vegeta5290d ago

Good to know they are it will take time just like BFBC2 now look at the game it plays well.

Mister_V5290d ago

Definitely. I think this game will be a masterpiece in a couple months. Next update seems like it'll be a heavy one.

zeeshan5290d ago

Fuck you dice. Morons are going to kill this game. Nerf this, nerf that. I am so sick and tired of this. Fix the damn voip and input lag first bitches!!!!!

BraveToaster5290d ago

Yeah, and it only took them up until a month before BF3 came out to fix BC2.

"un"balance the weapons then i consider playing it again.

seriously!
tanks shells are worthless.
mortars are worthless.
AA guns are worthless.
rocket launchers are worthless.
90% of guns are worthless.

everything seems nerfed and under-powered!
i dont want cod super unbalanced mayhem but i dont want too much balancing!!
its not even realistic if thats what they aim for.
mortars dont kill unless you aim it right above the other ones head or else he wont die!!!
tanks shells, rockets are the same thing with mortars.

that, and the guns balancing is bullsh#t!!
everytime a decent guns is being used, moaners and cry babies b$tch about it till they nerf it!

Ace_Pheonix5290d ago

I think the balance is perfect. If you want everyone to die easier just play on Hardcore.

scrambles5290d ago

lol i do fine with tanks. This game is also meant for tank shells to hit tanks while coaxial lmg and the tank shot gun take out infantry. Dont go running down streets and especially play it safe when u dont have an engineer. On console, AA guns are so overpowered its unreal they destroy everything in sight. RPGs need their splash toned down due to over spamming. I can use over half the guns in this game and come out the other side a winner. I believe you sir need to learn how to control the gun. Each gun recoils and sprays differently. Weak mortars are there cuz Op Metro is so small that if they did do tons of splash damage theyd destroy the whole map in seconds. Same thing for shotguns theyre incredibly under powered on any map that isnt OP metro. In my mind the assault rifles need a small buff in min damage and carbines need a nerf in the long range bullet deviation and min damage.

Also what you might be feeling is the bullets having random damage drop offs at around 5meters down to like 24 damage making it a 5 bullet kill.

Hufandpuf5290d ago

Have you tried arming an MCOM under mortar fire? It's hell.

@Majin

Quit making excuses for them. The BC2 servers were crap for A LONG time to the point it was unplayable for most people because of the rubber-banding. You praise DICE as if there the GODS of the gaming industry. You shouldn't exclude them just because you see them as the competitor to CoD. I love the BC/BF series. But I won't be making any excuses for them.

They had a BETA. They stated that the issues in the BETA will be fixed by the retail version. I believed them. As in everybody else that was defending the "Beta". Now its been over 2 months and the input lag, VOIP, Squad seperation, and disconnects still haven't been fixed. Its an FPS, so one of the most important thing has to be the aiming. Yet its hindered by the Input Lag that is yet to be fixed. A game that promotes nothing but teamwork, yet the VOIP and the Squad System are yet to be fixed as well. And by the time there fixed it'll probably be 3 months for release or longer. Yet you will most likely still make up excuses for them.

"Good to know they are it will take time just like BFBC2 now look at the game it plays well."

Yeah, damn right it took time. But why and how are you defending them? I played BC2 from release up to about a little over a year from release. And let me tell you that they took MONTHS to fix the issues. You said it takes time for DICE to get the games playing well, Hmm well then why even release them in a broken state in the first place? Sorry but your comment shows a hypocrite. Countless times you go running to COD articles just to bash the game. Yet you defend DICE for it?

ShoryukenII5289d ago

They wanted to release it to compete with CoD. If they released it in March like BC2, they would've gotten more sales. I think they should have left GTA V to knock CoD off of its throne (assuming it releases in this coming holiday) or they should've waited for the CoD to lose the attention of its kids.

Cosmit5289d ago

Yeah it was pretty obvious.

A game like GTA can't and won't dethrone a shooter like COD. There two completely different games. And GTA isn't a competitive multiplayer game like CoD. Sure it might get good sales but it won't dethrone CoD.

Honestly, sales-wise and business wise they released at a good time. But obviously the game on PS3 still needed more time. The hype that DICE and EA made out of it was a very good business choice. Hyping it to be the "COD Killer" and a 2 weeks before the COD release was perfect to get the hype going big for this game.

DICE should consider doing more small patches. Waiting until all the weapon balancing and bug fixing to be ready is not working out so well in my opinion.

ExposingLames5290d ago

LMAO and when did this game come out? screw DICE. my last game by them ever.

S-T-F-U5290d ago

2 months the game has been out and we PS3 owners have had to put up with crippling controls. It's ridiculous, so much so I have given up playing until they finally do fix it.

I don't get how it can take so much time to fix... I mean, it took them less than 2 month to break it between the beta and the final release.

ShoryukenII5289d ago

I honestly don't notice any issues with the controls. I'm sure there is an issue and that it needs to be fixed but can someone tell me what's wrong? :p

S-T-F-U5289d ago

If you have BFBC2 load it up and play for a few minutes then load up BF3. The difference should be noticeable immediately...

Noticeably_FAT5290d ago

Typical Dice and their issues with their games...maybe they should consider selling a finished product for a change, instead they just shovel the same thing over and over at us.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel540d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast540d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223540d ago (Edited 540d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1326d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1325d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
