Nope. It still drops fools with one round with a clean shot.

well the end result of them fixing it is the range is decreased. The reason it had such massive range was it was shooting rifle bullets when you had it underslung. Now its should the correct round, which in the end result in less range

Exactly. And I am good with this. It should be a freakin' one shot drop at close range as others have already pointed out.

Depends. A slug can drop a deer pretty easy at 130yrds. Maybe a lil more. Should be the same for a head shot on a man.

It's actually against Server TOS to ban or kick people for using weapons as far as I know. Those servers that do so are just hoping people follow the rules, if someone actually complained about being kicked from one, something might get done (or might not, lol).

Ive been to a fair few servers that kick people for using weapons that have been 'banned' in that server.

If they dont kick you then they kill you instead, which is a rather shitty deterent as some guys will happily take a death for 3-5 kills with an M320 which is not allowed on that server.

Its no different then saying PISTOLS ONLY on your own server then running around and hosing people down with an M60 but it kicks or kills the opposing players when they try to do the same thing.

they are obviously using some sort of hack or exploit to bypass the server rules.
 
Yeah a head shot...IRL. This is a game, and not ARMA either.

Well without body armor it could kill a man too. No problem. They should be that powerful in the game too. Just a lower rate of fire and higher recoil.
 
Personally I'm happy as a pig in shit they didn't totally screw up the underslung. It is Great if you use it with
a rifle with range. Like Dave implied it Gives you the best of both worlds. Now if only I had 50 fucking dollars :wtf::roll:
 
Oh I'm happy too...but not about shotguns...

Yeah well people are stupid and reactionary sometimes and need to choose better battles, imo. And I wouldn't want to play on someone's server anyway if that's how they are. Is this a great sales model for the consumer? Not really (though B2P is still essentially worth the money I think). Are some people getting their panties way too twisted over it? Absolutely.

There are plenty of servers. Including a few Premium-only ones so whatever to those admins.

I didn't say those servers don't exist, I just said they are breaking TOS technically and they are just hoping for people to abide by the rules they want. They can kill you as a server Mod without breaking TOS, but kicking you for using a specific weapon is against TOS. So if someone wanted to be a pain, they could join said servers, use the weapons they want, report the kicks and such. Also most sever admin kills don't count as deaths against you. So you can noob tube all day for kills then eat an admin kill and keep that kdr.

Ranked Server Administrators:
If you are an administrator of a ranked Battlefield 3 server (referred to below as a "Server Administrator"), you must also comply with the EA Online Terms and Conditions.
Server Administrators are in violation of the EA Online Terms and Conditions if they enforce server rules on ranked servers that prohibit or severely limit players from using any roles, kits, weapons, vehicles, or other features of the game while playing on their server. Examples of such rules that would violate the EA Online Terms and Conditions include:
Running knife / pistol-only servers
Preventing players from using certain weapons or items (such as flash bangs or C4) or enforcing a "pistol only" or "knife only" server rule

Server Administrators may implement and enforce rules that result in minor changes to gameplay behavior or styles as long as these are clearly stated before a player starts playing on a server. These rules typically introduce minor or limited restrictions on how a certain aspect of the game can be used, but do not create or promote an environment that would allow abuse of the scoring/award system. Examples of such rules that are acceptable are:
Disallowing repeated main base camping/attacking of bases that cannot be captured.
Limiting the use of mortars to a particular region of the map.

I enjoy sitting in my chair and playing pretend war. If I wanted more realism, other games are out there, but they dont have the fan base simply because they are more rough. I actually enjoy lower damage models, the less bullets it takes to kill I find teams just don't want to move, it just becomes a sniper/camp fest as people know that when you make a break to flank, you die too easily. Just kills strategy.

Yeah..if you aren't aware of the extent of the hacking "tools" and functionality available for BF3 give this a look-see. I really had no idea how "bad" it was and how much shit they could actually do/see until I saw this (which was the point of the submission). Though who knows how much more there is and how outdated that info is already....

Got more details on this? Not sure I really follow what you are referring to.
 
gameinformer - Hands-On With Battlefield 3: Armored Kill

We take a tour of the biggest Battlefield 3 map ever created and get the details on the new AC-130 gunship.

Since the launch of Battlefield 3, it feels like the community has splintered into two separate camps -- the purists who prefer the large, open environments jam-packed with vehicles and the fans raised on close quarters games like Call of Duty who prefer a more intimate setting. Fans of the pure gunfights are already indulging in the new Close Quarters map pack (on the PS3 anyway. Xbox 360 and PC players get access in less than two weeks), but come September the old-school fans (like me) get a new dose of classic style maps with the Armored Kill expansion.

Behind closed doors at E3, DICE showed off the first map of the expansion pack, Bandar Desert, the biggest map in franchise history. Here are some details I picked up during a short but sweet hands-on conquest battle.

  • Several new vehicles are featured in the expansion, including new tank destroyers, an AC-130 gunship, ATVs, and mobile artillery.
  • Taking over a specific base grants the controlling team access to an AC-130 gunship. The gunship travels on a fixed circular path around the bases and it has four seats -- two for shooting 125mm cannons at the ground and two anti-air turrets for defending its airspace.
  • Though only four people can man the AC-130 at once, other soldiers can use it as a mobile parachute spawn point.
  • The AC-130 is also a great position to spot and mark enemies for your teammates.
  • If your team controls the AC-130, the smart strategy is to have all patrolling the aircraft defend it from oncoming attacks so it can continue its forceful barrage.
  • The AC-130 is heavily armored, but it cannot be repaired by engineers. This means ground forces can bring it down with concentrated fire.
  • The tank destroyers are lighter and more limber than the tanks included in the base game. They still pack a punch, but are much more vulnerable than the conventional tanks.
  • Over 20 upgrades are available for the new vehicles, but there is no new infantry weaponry.
  • Armored Kill also has a new Tank Superiority mode, but DICE wouldn't go into specifics just yet.
  • You should spawn on a squad member near a hot zone or to jump into a vehicle. Given the large size of the map, hiking from your home base to a flag point takes a while.
The maps are large enough that you can employ new team tactics like positioning your mobile artillery on the ridge and shelling any troops approaching a hotly contested flag capture point from a long range.
DICE plans to reveal the three other maps, the new vehicle upgrades, and details on the new Tank Superiority mode as we move closer to the September launch.
