User blog comment:The Z/Battlefield 3 - What DICE (still) need to fix/@comment-5586199-20121006010350

Since this was written & there having been more updates & 2 further DLC's the game has got even worse.........the main problems being 1. Assignments, they have turned a team based game into a lone wolf cod style game & some force players to play modes they don't want to play. 2. Close Quarters is pure cod & camping, right from the start the game was full of glitches such as being able to get on top of roofs that are meant to be inaccessable 3. Armored Kill has maps way to big for console & Alborz mountains in particular is riddled with bugs such as no clipping & players can lie in rock fire rockets & can't be killed while in these rocks or can sit behind a hill & look through it & lock on to things.

The biggest problem I find right now is lag due to players playing outwith there region & gaining an unfair advantage, European servers are full of Americans as well as other non EU players, during the day European time games are good & enjoyable but as soon as it gets to around 8-9pm European time & Americans & other non EU players start to appear on the servers the game gets bad & to a point where it becomes unplayable, many changes are seriously needed if BF3 is going to last till 4th DLC & have large enough community left when BF4 comes out {reportedly this time next year} as I see more & more saying they will not by anymore battlefield titles due to the disaster with BF3.
