Battlefield 3 flashlights toned down in new update



One of the nagging complaints about Battlefield 3′s multiplayer were the flashlights, or tactical lights as they’re known, which seemed far to powerful and blinding regardless of the circumstances they were used in. DICE has listened to the feedback, and flashlights will be adjusted in an upcoming patch.

DICE’s Alan Kertz has provided some comparison screenshots, showing the flashlight effect before and after, and the change is dramatic — you can now actually see the person behind the flashlight.

^That's better now, as it was very hard to kill the guy running straight into you with a flash light on his weapon. It completely blinds the opponent, which is not good.

Back To Karkand features “improved destruction” and new game mode



Battlefield 3 Back To Karkand will feature 4 maps, 3 vehicles, and 10 new weapons, but there are some other new features that aren’t part of EA’s regular pitch: improved destruction and Conquest Assault. Back To Karkand maps such as Strike At Karkand will feature improved destruction where buildings can be destroyed to a point where only the skeleton remains, according to new info. We’ve previously seen before and after pics of Karkand’s destruction, where the destruction looked a lot more extensive than what we’re used to in Battlefield 3.

In addition to improved destruction, Battlefield 3 ships with a new game mode called Conquest Assault, which hails back from Battlefield 2, but back then it was called just “Conquest”. In the Conquest Assault mode, one team starts with all of the flags and the other team has to attack and advance throughout the map — if you’ve played Strike At Karkand in Battlefield 2, you’ll know exactly what it is (and the tense fighting that happens at the first flag).
Back To Karkand will be released in December, most likely around Christmas time. PlayStation 3 owners will get it one week earlier, though

Thanks for the update.
Strangely, none of this happens in the multiplayer. Time to finish the single player now.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
