I would've liked to have seen, along with the pistol customisation, scope add ons for the rocket launchers. Nobody does an RPG with a PGO scope anymore
It says on the Battlefield 3 wiki that in the full game, there actually will be a scope unlock for the RPG.  That's cool as shit, wonder if there will be one for any of the other rocket launchers or other non-primary weapons.  Hell, maybe pistol customization really is in the works

http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/RPG-7#Battlefield_3
Doubtful.  You already have pistol unlock progression, like tactical and suppressed variations.
Yeah, that is true and extremely stupid.  I guess it's just so they have more bullshit unlocks to sprinkle across their retarded rank structure which obviously copies off the CoD ranks.

Anybody figure out what the heavy barrel does differently?  I unlocked it for the AK and I'm having trouble seeing the difference with it on and off.  By default, it's already on the M27 IAR

Makes it more accurate afaik but increases the recoil or something

Heavy barrel should decrease recoil and therefor increase accuracy.

Apparently it reduces horizontal fluctuations and increases vertical fluctuations.

That's backwards as hell.

Does anyone know what the T-UGS for the sniper is supposed to do?

Also, what were you all saying about no .50 cal sniper, I was just getting my ass one hit handed to me by a guy using this thing called an M98B, which looks a lot like a typical high-caliber Barrett rifle.  That M40 sniper is srs bsns as well.

T-UGS are supposed to be fast motion detectors.  But I've read that they don't currently work.  I haven't seen any indications on the map whenever I've deployed it.

The T-UGS is a deployable motion detector, replacing the motion mines.
It can only detect standing enemies, so you can crouch and prone and go undetected.

The M98B is .338 (not .50) and garbage. You get the same results with the SV-98 with an added 5 rounds to the magazine.

T-UGS doesn't work.

Straight-pull bolt doesn't work.

TUGS sucks and it won't even deploy half the time.

The motion balls in BC2 did something similar. You could throw it into an area, detect nobody, and then bump into someone crouching and not moving.

Just went on at least a 12 person kill streak mostly involving the ticket room area in the third stage of attacking using the M4 with a red dot sight, ended up running out of ammo and switching to the pistol and that was my downfall.

I pulled off a rather epic comeback. Was using the M1014 which put me at about 10 deaths down. Used my M416, obliterated guys coming up the stairs, got three squad wipe ribbons, killed a few more wiht my M9 and then held the escalators single-handedly until I ran out of ammo.

Next round sucked. This cocksucker called ajaxniek started using an aimbot so nobody on our team could do a thing. He apparently gets paid to cheat on a beta. Mong.

Seriously, about running out of ammo.  That "could use some ammo" icon is out there right in front of you when you are support.  No trouble at all to just drop and go.


We need regenerating ammo.

What makes you so sure it'll be in the PC version?  The Q key already spots people, and does nothing else at all.  Commo rose would require even more PC-specific programming, god forbid

They need to fix the horrible minimap. I was playing Caspian Border and had to navigate around that huge map with only the 3d Map and a minimap that looks like this

For people putting "overtime hours" into this game they sure like to miss the important things like decent squad management and a decent minimap like BC2 and BF2 had
