Some of the upcoming patch details have leaked out in recent days and it appears that some much needed nerfs will happen.  Most notable is one that addresses mortaring from deployment zones while not being able to be attacked.  They are also nerfing the USAS-12 frag rounds.  Thank God!  Other confirmed fixes are a MAV tweak, M-COM attack and defender ribbon tweaks, a tweak to laser designation, and a suppression ribbon tweak.  There is no info on whether the MAV tweak will address "MAV riding" or killing with the MAV.  Also the M-COM tweaks will make it easier to earn those ribbons.  The same goes for the suppression ribbon.  The laser designation tweak is believed to be a nerf in acquisition range of SOFLAMs and laser painters.  There will be a big announcement this week in New York by EA concerning a DLC for BF3 and a possible subscription plan that EA will deploy along with the DLC much like Call of Duty Elite.  We'll keep you posted with more details as they continue to be made available.

With the lastest teaser by Daniel Matros@zh1nt1 The BF3 Community Manager we can only speculate what the upcoming changes or additions could be.  Obviously though the news is out to some community sites but they have been sworn to secrecy.  Battlefieldo.com Commented via twitter,"Cannot wait to drop the news that we've been sitting on for over a week".  Whatever it is it must be something big.  The lastest client patch has been hinted to be released in February.  It is confirmed to have Commrose 2.0, more voice overs, and a lot of weapons tweaks.  But there must be something else for it to be teased the way it has.  My guess is a new DLC.  Maybe not maps but new weapons loadouts.  Maps would be great too but nothing of the sort has been leaked through community channels.  It could all just be over hyped and there's nothing more than the anticipated patch that no one really cares about.  What are you thoughts?

The age old question youth or experience, the answer is experience. After a long and drawn out clan meeting WDA was eager for a fight. Someone suggested an inter clan scrim not Alpha/Bravo, but young vs old. So we thew out our ages and to my surprise I was the youngest old man. We divided into eight man teams. While the kiddies were sucking on their thumbs, the old men were getting on a fresh pair of Depends. We were almost ready until Colonel had to get his late night fist full of rum and take the longest leak of his life.(Come on man! Maybe its time to get some FLOMAX?) On Colonels return it was live on restart, game on! After two round and two wins for the old guys, the kids wanted a chance to reclaim some pride. The old men were tired way past their bed time so we all called it a night. Good job old guys!

Discussion of BF3 Weapon Accessories, and their Futures From Demize99 off of reddit r/battlefield3

I'm working on a retweak of the accessories in the game currently, as I feel the player is limited in choice due to a few accessories being the clear winners in almost all categories. While this unfortunately means nerfing those that are over used, the goal here is to focus on improving the under performing and under used attachments. Additionally it is the intention for an unmodified weapon to offer the best balance of Recoil, Accuracy, and Stealth. Right now this is preliminary, I've already asked for feedback on different attachments, and there's several good threads here and on Battlelog that discuss the weapons. Again, I'm not promising this will go live, and I'm not promising there will be an update, I'm looking for feedback and a discussion.

Thanks, Alan "Demize99" Kertz

Foregrip

The Foregrip is for players who who are in close combat and highly mobile fighting situations. It reduces the horizontal recoil forces that make maintaining a consistant aim on target difficult, however it makes aimed shots more difficult.

+34% reduction in horizontal recoil (adjust based on gun)

-20% penalty to base accuracy when aimed

Happy New Year WDA!

With all of the new incoming members, I would like to Welcome all of you to the best clan out there. So lets grab some cold ones and game on in the new year!
