"Shotguns are the bloody hardest thing to balance. Gotta be hurty up close, but weak at range... and gotta feel fair still on the other end."

~Alan Kertz. Shotgun balancing starting now.

Shotguns are effective at 30 yards, but honestly if you got shot with one when you are wearing a vest it wouldn't do anything.

Health regeneration was announced a few months ago for Battlefield 3. For veterans of the series, this came as an unwelcomed surprise, zh1nt0 (Daniel Matros - DICE Community Manager) came with a little bit of happy news for the community today. Health regeneration is a server side option, meaning that a server admin can disable or enable the regeneration feature. We assume that the option also includes vehicle's health regeneration. When the option is turned on, soldiers and vehicles slowly regenerate health over a period of time. Those that were concerned about this Battlefield 3 feature can now relax.

You should quote the source for that information. enterbf3.com ftw!

yeah server option.


its more of a campaign +
as healing on campaign like old school duke or doom. stupid for a modern game.

you dont necessarily "heal" anyways. its a warning you are in danger, as players normally can react fast enough in that split second to hide anyways.
instant deaths and health packs would be incredibly lame in the single player game, they have to find that safe middle ground.

and by "health" they dont mean you have a health bar anyways. depending on the shot, weapon, distance, it can still be instant or more/less brutal a shot.
a weapon that would kill you in 2 shots you can hide from, then return in 5 seconds prepared to go head to head with that npc again.
you all seem to miss the point of these game mechanics.

The kids who grew up with regenerating health will scream if their precious Health regen is not enabled. I was beginning to loose faith that we would never see the Health bar again, unless its a valve game.

Console version blows. I'm not quite sure how people are actually going to sleep happy knowing they bought it for console.

and what was with that "console versions will run slightly lower than 720p" ninja title swap?

Consoles run on 704p.

lol consoles run it on a lower resolution simply because they suck and CANT run the full game.

they just wont word it that way

[heedicalking]

agreed. i really can't be satisfied buying a game for a console. they only made it on consoles so they could make money off of it. dice is the kind of company i support because they don't try to balance it out on all systems like skyrim is doing. dice gives pc players the features that they can support and the consoles pretty much get an alpha version in comparison.

the funniest thing is when people on the BF3 forums complain that consoles have a 24 player max limit and cry to raise it up to 64 like PC.

pc fanboys are the second worst

PC gamers: My 900 Dollar Rig with 8gb of ram, graphics card, quadcore, and good internet speed are better than consoles.
Console Gamers: Xbox/PS3/Wii are good because they cost less and I don't have to worry if I can run games.
Board Gamers/Table Top gamers: What's technology? *rolls dice*
