Battlefield 3-Patch: Vorläufige Waffenänderungen - umfangreiches Balancing geplant

Alan Kertz, ehemaliger Battlefield 3-Gameplay-Designer, hat eine vorläufige Liste mit geplanten Waffen-Anpassungen für den nächsten Battlefield 3-Patch bestätigt. Die Webseite symthic.com veröffentlichte viele umfangreiche Details, bei denen die Community vor dem Patch-Release noch mitreden darf.

Der nächste Battlefield 3-Patch lässt bis März auf sich warten, so viel war bekannt. Wie sich nun herausstellt, wird dieses Update eine Menge von Detailänderungen an den Waffen und deren Balancing mitbringen. Die Webseite symthic.com veröffentlichte eine umfangreiche Liste mit konkreten Anpassungen für verschiedene Waffen im Ego-Shooter. Die Liste ist bislang vorläufig und wurde der Community zwecks Diskussion zur Verfügung gestellt. Via Twitter hat der ehemalige Gameplay-Designer Alan Kertz (weiterhin bei DICE) die Echtheit der Liste bestätigt.

Es kommen verschiedene Anpassungen für alle Sturmgewehre, etwa beim minimalen Schaden. Alle Scharfschützengewehre sollen künftig bei Entfernungen unter 15 Meter "One-Hit-Kills" ermöglichen. Dazu kommen weitere Balancing-Maßnahmen für Schrotflinten, Maschinenpistolen, Handfeuerwaffen und Co. Die vollständige Liste findet ihr über das Inhaltsverzeichnis auf Seite 2 oder ihr klickt euch zur Liste der geplanten Waffen-Änderungen in Battlefield 3 auf symthic.com. Die Twitter-Bestätigung für die Echtheit der Battlefield 3-Liste lest ihr hier.

2. Attachments

Fore grip
Basically before it reduced the horizontal recoil by 50%, in these files it reduces h-recoil only ~20-33% depending on weapon.
It also increases the minimum spread 20% ~ 50% depending on stance and weapon.

Suppressor
Suppressors will not reduce the damage anymore.
Now it will reduce the distance where damage starts/stops to drop off instead.
For most weapons it will decrease the min spread by 25% instead of 50%
Although looks like M60 will still have the same 50% effect.

Heavy barrel
For most of the weapons it decreases ADS min spread by 75 or 50% depending on weapon.
Recoil is still increased by 10 or 15% and HIP min spread by 20-25% depending on weapon.

It doesn't make AN94 100% accurate anymore while aiming down the sight.
Reduces ADS min spread by 75% and only increases recoil by 10%, the hip fire penalty is 20% for AN94
G3A1 is same than AN94 except heavy barrel increases recoil 6.7% and hip fire is increased only 14.3%

For few weapons it also makes Spread increase per shot 10% higher.
Edit: which was a bug and has been removed, no spread increase increase anymore.

It will also increase drop-off end distance by 50% making weapons more deadly at ranges between 50m and 90m, depending on weapon.

Flash suppressor
Will decrease recoil by 17 ~ 25% depending on weapon.
For most weapons it increases hip min spread by 20~25% but some weapons don't have any hip accuracy penalty.

Extended magazine
There seems to be extended magazine for AS VAL which didn't exist before.
With ext mag it will have 30 bullets in a mag instead of 20
