Tomorrow’s 2GB Battlefield patch brings bug fixes, balance changes, and a few other goodies.
We knew that a Battlefield 3 patch was on the way, and we knew that it resolved a few glaring issues (like the tactical light – get it!? Glaring?!), but the full extent of the patch wasn’t really clear until the full patch notes went public. After a quick glance through, it’s obvious DICE is serious about keeping their game as balanced and fun as possible.
The bulk of the 2GB patch is content for the upcoming Back to Karkand DLC pack, but the rest is all adjustments to existing game mechanics. Among the fixes? A big nerf to mortars, a buff to jet cannons, spawn point adjustment and a ton of tiny tweaks to weapons. Here’s the full list of changes, courtesy of Battlelog:
Bugfixes
• Fixed a problem with spawn timer now showing blue border on startup and lost spawn point
• Fixed a problem where player who joined queuing on End of round got spawn screen stuck on screen, but unable to do anything with it until next round loaded
• Fixed a problem where camera would change to 3rd person on killcam when killcam was turned off in server settings
• Fixed stat references on several dogtags
• Fixed for surveillance ribbon not counting TUGS
• Fixed a missing combat area lines on the minimap for Grand Bazaar conquest small
• Moved a tank spawn in US base on Caspian Border so it would not be destroyed by a falling tree
• Fixed a problem where placing C4 with the russians soldier was playing US faction VO
• Fixed a problem where TV guided missiles could be shot into its own helicopter and destroy it
• Fixed a problem when attempting to fire lock on weapons without a target
• Tweaked the chat, it should now be a bit easier to read
• Fixed several vehicles that did not properly shoot rockets and guns towards their predictive sights
• Fixed the G17 Supressed Laser not working properly
• Added alternate HUD colors to help colorblinds
• Added a network interpolation setting. This allows users with good bandwidth reduce latency, but might increase some stuttering. The user can find what works best for his connection by tweaking the slider.
• Increased the Spawn protection radius on TDM
• Fixed a problem with smoke on land vehicles, Missiles should now miss more often
• Fixed a problem where users could end up with IRNV scope in any vehicle
• Fixed a problem where player dies if vaulting over a ledge and into water while sprinting
• Fixed several crashes and increased general stability
• Fixed a problem where the user was unable to revive two players that have the bodies one over the other
• Fixed so you can assign an axis and use as a digital input. This makes it possible for the player (on pc) to assign one of the sticks on a gameped to be used for throttle/brake.
• Fixed a problem with the Kill camera acting up when suiciding from parachute
• Fixed air radar was showing to much. now lasertagged, heatsignature above threshold, enemy missiles and capture points are only visible on air radar
• Fixed a problem where the game would enter a technical hang if the user pressed pause menu and tilde at the same time
• Fixed a problem where you could get green flashes on screen
• You can now reassign cycle weapons
• Fixed so the weapon zooms automatically after bipod deploy is gone when using zoom toggle
• Fixed a problem where the parachute would stay stuck in air if the owner was killed
Balance Tweaks
• Fixed several weapons so they are properly suppressed and hide the player on the minimap when fired.
• Tweaked Tactical Light so it is not as blinding over longer ranges.
• Tweaked the IRNV scope so it is limited to usage only at close range.
• Reduced heat masking effectiveness of Spec Ops Camo.
• Fixed a bug where Ammo spec would give additional 40mm grenades instead of Frag spec.
• Increased the number of additional 40mm grenades from Frag spec.
• Fixed so AT mines only live for 20 seconds after a player dies to prevent infinite mines.
• Increased the Time to Live on sniper caliber rounds to allow extreme distance shots.
• Fixed several weapon descriptions, calibers, and fire rates. The weapons themselves have not changed.
• Fixed so the M9 and MP443 pistol can be equipped by the opposing faction when it is unlocked at 100 kills.
• Fixed Laser Guided Missiles missing their targets if the target is moving too fast.
• Reduced the effectiveness of Stealth on Air Vehicles.
• Reduced the effectiveness of Beam Scanning for Jets.
• Reduced the damage done to Armored Vehicles and Infantry from AA guns.
• Increased the damage RPGs and Tank shells do to AA vehicles.
• Slightly decreased the accuracy for all weapons on fully automatic, burst fire is now preferable at mid to long range.
• Increased the effective accuracy of long bursts for LMGs when using a bipod.
• Slightly increased the range of the 44magnum bullets.
• Increased the close range damage of 4.6x30mm and 5.7x28mm bullets.
• Increased the reload time of the Mortar from 3.5sec to 4.8sec and increased the time it takes before a shell hits the ground.
• Reduced the aimed accuracy bonus given by a Suppressor for the MP7, P90, PP2000, PP-19, and UMP45.
• Increased the range and FOV for designating targets with the SOFLAM and vehicle Laser Designators.
• Decreased the effectiveness of 12g FRAG ammo when equipped on semi-automatic and automatic shotguns.
• Slightly Increased the power of Fighter Jet Cannons against all vehicle targets, especially Helicopters.
• Decreased the power of Miniguns against Jets and Helicopters.
• Increased the power of Stingers against Jets.
• Flares reload times for Jets and Helicopter Gunners have been increased.
• Tweaked the AN94 so its burst fire better conveys the real world advantage offered by this weapon.
• Added Single Shot to the AN94 as an available fire mode.
• Slightly increased the recoil on the M416 and removed the Burst Fire mode (this weapon incorrectly had burst fire, which was not authentic).
• Tweaked the spawns for TDM on Kharg Island, Grand Bazaar, Caspian Border, Seine Crossing, Operation Firestorm, Damavand Peak and Noshahar Canals
• Moved a tank spawn in US base on Caspian Border so it would not be destroyed by a falling tree
• Tweaked the Gas station Capture area on Conquest on Caspian Border
• Tweaked the max vehicle height on Noshahar Canals
So there’s that. See anything you like?

Back to Karkand is almost here. Can you feel it in the air?
The first DLC pack for Battlefield 3, titled Back to Karkand, is coming very, very soon. Hoping to gin up a little excitement for the re-designed maps, EA and DICE have released a trailer specific to the Gulf of Oman map, which makes its triumphant return from Battlefield 2.
Check it out here:
If you didn’t catch it through the chaos, there are a few new things going on in this trailer. Number one, the Short Take-Off/Vertical Landing jet is back in the game, as is the classic desert buggy. There’s also….is that a bulldozer?! Oh, Battlefield.
Back to Karkand still doesn’t have an official release date, but I’m guessing you can expect it in the second week of December. Here’s why – if it were the first week (i.e. next week), they would have announced it. And it can’t be the third week, since PS3 owners get it a week early, which would put the Xbox/PS3 launch right in the middle of the Christmas holidays. Which means the second week is the most sensible place to drop it.
Of course, that’s just a guess. What do you think of the new vehicles/explosions?

Bethesda is promising to resolve some of Skyrim’s many issues in a patch due next week.
Skyrim has experience great success, but as we’ve stated previously there are a fair number of glitches and bugs floating around in its massive world. I experienced one myself yesterday that resulted in a quest being uncompletable (thankfully fixed after a save and load). People have been clamoring for a fix to the bugs, and VP of Marketing Pete Hines has been getting berated via Twitter for the better part of a week and a half.
Good news for Pete Hines and Skyrim fans everywhere: the game’s first big patch is probably coming next week.
Updating via his Twitter account, Pete Hines confirmed that the latest patch for Skyrim has been submitted  for PS3 and Xbox 360 certification, and there’s a PC patch in the works. He goes on to state that Bethesda is expecting to see the patch land sometime next week – we’ll just have to see if that actually happens.
Some of the issues expected to be fixed include:
Xbox 360’s texture-streaming issue
PS3’s frame rate problem
PC’s random freezes
Certification is a notoriously shifty process, so while Bethesda expects the patches to go live, don’t be surprised if they are delayed by one service or the other. Bugs are a common fixture in Bethesda games – Fallout 3 is still packed with them. But, for the most part, they’re little things.
Beyond my one small inconvenience, I haven’t had too many weird problems. The walls in my house disappeared for a little while, but that’s about the strangest thing. One fix I’d like to see: a dramatic improvement in follower intelligence or resilience.
What’s the weirdest/worst Skyrim bug you’ve encountered?

Celebrate the upcoming launch of Minecraft 1.0 with a glimpse what’s to come at Minecon, including a massive block version of the Mandalay building.
Minecon is almost upon us, and with it, the official launch of Minecraft. Next Friday, a legion of Minecraft nerds will congregate in Las Vegas to swap build tips, meet the Mojang crew, and (my guess) drink 8,000 gallons of soda. And, hopefully, dress up like Creepers.
But all nerdy jabs aside, the trailer is absolutely hilarious and features a crazy range of Minecraft building skills. There’s even a jet!
In the past two years, Minecraft has gone from simple little indie game to selling 4,000,000 copies, and it hasn’t even come out yet. The official launch, marked to coincide with Minecon, will be the first time the game has ever been considered “complete.”
I’ve been playing around with the game for the last few days and I have to say that there’s something compelling about it. I can’t put my finger on why exactly I like punching trees, but I do enjoy it.
What about you? Are you ready for the retail release of Minecraft? Are you one of the lucky fans heading to Vegas for a weekend packed with booze and blocks? Let us know in the comments.

DICE ups the destructive ante with this action-packed trailer for Battlefield 3’s first DLC pack.
Battlefield 3 has only been out for about a week, but DICE and EA are already pushing the game’s first downloadable content pack, Back to Karkand. The DLC contains four maps from Battlefield 2, updated and imported into the Frostbite 2 engine developed for BF3.
The DLC pack promises new weapons and new maps, but most of all it promises an increase in the destructive damage you see across the Battlefield world. Check it out here:
If you pre-ordered Battlefield 3 or managed to pick up a Limited Edition by dumb luck (like me!), the DLC is absolutely free of charge and you’ll get it automatically on release date. If you didn’t, you’ll have to ante up $14.99 or 1200 MS points for the privilege of playing on repurposed maps. The pack also offers new “persistence,” which though I’ve been playing BF3 all week I can’t quite figure out. I think it has something to do with your ribbons?
Anyway, $15 for four maps seems pretty steep – weren’t we just furious about a similar price point for five MW2 maps? I guess this is the new future of downloadable content.
Are you going to purchase Back to Karkand? It drops sometime in December.

Bethesda releases a quick clip from the special edition DVD, “Behind The Wall: The Making of Skyrim.”
Skyrim is just under two weeks away from release, and many RPG lovers (read: me) are pretty freaking stoked. Bethesda is looking to capitalize on this hype as much as possible, and has released this quick clip from their behind-the-scenes DVD:
This three-minute clip covers the making of the Skyrim trailer and features developer commentary on how they went about putting the whole thing together. If you’re a fan of Oblivion or Fallout 3, you may even recognize a few friendly faces as the video roams the back halls of Bethesda’s labs. The video clip is just one part of the documentary developed for the game, but gives a good indication as to what kinds of content you can expect.
Of course, if you want to watch the rest of the video, you’ll need to pick up a collector’s edition of Skyrim. I would do that, except it costs an absolutely ridiculous $149.99, thought it does seem to be packed with cool stuff.
If you opt for the CE, here’s what you’ll find:
Alduin Statue. Created in conjunction with the IP Factory, this collector's only statue stands 12" tall and is made of high quality PVC. Modeled from actual in-game 3D digital files, it showcases Alduin, the World Eater.
The Art of Skyrim' Official Art Book. Featuring over 200 pages of striking, full-color illustrations, sketches and models, this stunning 9 3/8" x 12 1/8" coffee table book showcases the characters, creatures, environments, and weaponry of Skyrim.
The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' DVD. This documentary DVD contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team.
Are you getting excited about 11/11/11? Did you pick up a collector’s edition, or does the high price point turn you off?
I’m sure there are some Elder Scrolls fanatics that are okay with buying a game at that price point, but personally, I would opt for one regular copy of Skyrim and one regular copy of Skyward Sword.

Ó

Now that we’ve all settled in for a Panda-themed expansion, it’s time to look at what’s actually going to change with World of Warcraft’s newest expansion.
The player community has only known about the upcoming WoW expansion, Mists of Pandaria, for about a week. But as with most things Blizzard, the official announcement marked the beginning of an incredible information surge, with previews, images, videos and all sorts of other stuff cropping up across the web. Last night, the Pandaria dev team hosted a live Q&A session packed with information about the expansion, but one recurring theme was the return of world PVP.
Fans of the original World of Warcraft (Vanilla WoW) will remember that world PVP was an integral part of the experience. From raids on Southshore, occupations at Gadgetzan and the enormous pain that was Blackrock Mountain, world PVP managed to crop up quite a bit in the old days. After the addition of a sanctuary city in Burning Crusade and another in Wrath, it became difficult to find a good, steady world fight.
Blizz seems to be aware that world PVP has fallen away and answered a few questions on the topic in the Q&A:
Q: At Blizzcon Tom Chilton mentioned possible incentives for raiding enemy towns to encourage world PVP in mists, can Greg or Cory elaborate on this at all?
A: In regards to extra rewards for world pvp, we are contemplating the idea of increasing players conquest point caps by an extra 10-15%.
Q: Hey there. Will Pandaria have a new Dalaran like city or will we be using the ones already existing ingame?
A: We will have separate player hubs for both the Horde and Alliance on Pandaria. Separate hubs means we do not have to make them sanctuary and will encourage world PVP. These hubs will have access to an AH, Bank and general vendors. Valor, conquest, profession and faction vendors will be scattered around the world to encourage travel.
Q: One of the current issues discouraging World pvp is the presence of highly overpowered guards around cities and hubs, 1-shotting anyone who engages in PvP. How will this be in MoP?
A: We know this is an issue in the current game and we plan to address it in Mists. We want to encourage world PVP, not make it a one-shot game for NPC guards. This is one of the main reasons we decided to make two separate player hubs instead of a shared sanctuary.
Q: I don't like PvP, I play on a PvP server, because my friends on a PvP server and most people from my country is playing on that particular server. I have to face world PvP every time I am doing my business in the new hubs in Pandaria? I love the new zone, but I don't want to be backstabbed by a rogue while I am selling my stuff, or buying equipment. Can non-interested players avoid the world PvP
A: Yes, we certainly don't want you to always be back-stabbed while you are setting up your auctions. However, if a group of the opposing faction wants to form a raid and attack your city, we want them to have a chance to be successful. So yes and no. =)
Q: With the world PvP that is being talked about, are there any plans to add any Quest Hubs in Mists of Pandaria which functions like a smaller scale of Baradin Hold/Wintergrasp that will change faction when it is assaulted? Maybe even ones with actual leveling quests instead of just more dailies to add a dynamic questing experience like the ones that were talked about at Blizzcon?
A: Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing we are thinking about. We will share more info on our ideas for this soon. The idea is that we want to give players more options and not just always have one place to go or one thing to do.
As a former WoW player and fan of flash raids and other world PVP content, I’d hope to see much more of it in future World of Warcraft builds. In the old days, before cross-realm battlegrounds and instant-queue, teleporting dungeons, it was possible to build up a rivalry on your realm. It had less structure and more excitement.
Perhaps these new changes in Mists of Pandaria will rekindle those flames?
If you’re a WoW fan or player, you should read the entire Q&A posted at MMO Champion.

mfworldpvp1Now that we’ve all settled in for a Panda-themed expansion, it’s time to look at what’s actually going to change with World of Warcraft’s upcoming content update.

The company that’s usually pretty careful about its public image is in hot water over an interview played during the Blizzcon closing concert, one that contains homophobic slurs and profanity galore.
If you made it out to Blizzcon and were lucky enough to catch the closing concert, you may remember a brief video clip played during the performance of Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftan. The video featured Corpsegrinder, the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse, and generally revolved around his passion for World of Warcraft and insane hatred of the Alliance faction.
You can check the video out here, but be warned that it contains graphic language:
The video, which is packed to the gills with curse words and homophobic slurs like “faggot” and “queer,” was somehow vetted by Blizzard officials and shown to the Blizzcon audience. Naturally, the gay gamer community is fairly upset over the remarks, but more so over Blizzard’s insensitivity to the subject matter. It’s worth noting that the content was censored in the video that played for the audience, meaning most of the words had to be inferred.
All gamers deal with profanity now and again, and homophobic remarks often seem to come with the territory, but there’s a big difference between someone calling you a “fag” in general chat and the game company broadcasting those terms out to the world. Knowing Blizzards in-game chat policy for WoW, it’s surprising they would make public any video that violates their own rules, but perhaps it was just an error in judgment.
The forums are blowing up regarding the video, with numerous threads of complaints and a few weak “it was a joke” apologies from Blizzard staff. The most recent update involved locking all previous posts and providing this snippet to forum members:
“Thank you everyone for your feedback regarding the closing night performance at BlizzCon. While we had some other messaging worked up we were going to post, the members of band wanted to instead address it themselves:
Hey guys, we read and heard all the feedback from BlizzCon this year. The Corpsegrinder bit was never intended to be taken seriously. We are sorry that we offended anyone; everything at our shows is just meant in fun. Thank you all for speaking up. We’ll definitely keep this in mind for future shows.
Our humblest apologies,
Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain”
The drama is still ongoing, so we’ll see what ends up happening. There’s not much Blizz can do besides apologize, but some players are definitely upset.
What do you think is the appropriate response?

Next week may be all about Battlefield 3, but let’s not forget about that other small first-person-shooter that comes out later this year.
Modern Warfare 3 is coming. You may have forgotten, what with the immense media push from EA regarding next week’s release of Battlefield 3, but that doesn’t mean the game doesn’t exist anymore. MW3 is headed to your living room very, very soon, and by all accounts, it’s still demolishing every other game in terms of pre-sales.
Activision and Infinity Ward are naturally going to poke their heads in on BF3’s publicity a bit over the next few days, and the first such announcement comes in the form of an enhanced description of the game’s newest addition - point streaks. What were originally kill streaks in the last couple of games have been modified to point streaks, which was done to help players (like myself) that don’t necessarily play Modern Warfare with the sole intent of stacking up a body count.
Essentially, you’ll be able to select one of three Strike Packages for your character, based on your individual play style. Each Strike Package has different perks; for example, the Assault package has UAVs, Predator missiles and other aggressive bonuses, while the Support package has defensive items like airdrops, EMPs and turrets.
This trailer/commercial goes in-depth regarding what players can expect from the different Strike Packages:
I may be biased since I’ve long since given up on Modern Warfare in favor of Battlefield, but I just don’t think we’re going to see many of those alternative Strike Packages in use during regular play. Established teams might make them work, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see everyone locking into the one Strike Package that seems best geared at generating kills.
Maybe I’m wrong – which Strike Package will you take on November 8th?

fortunestreetNY Comic Con always produces a few weird pieces of information (and pictures!), but the more detail that is made available on 'Fortune Street', the more we are waiting for the creepy Monopoly guy to start jumping around on the TV!
