Tommy Stephansen

Born in '84, I've always been a gamer at heart. My first gaming console was the Nintendo (NES), 8-bit system. I was sold from day one. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a SNES, but with patience came the PlayStation... The rest is pretty much history (for another time and place).

Battlefield 3: DICE Swings the Banhammer

Good news! According to an official tweet, EA and DICE have begun dealing with statspadders (aka statsboosters) now by banning some of them, while others get treated to the stats-wiping broom. Stats wiped… Just like that… Love it!

Let’s hope they do something about the lame aimbot-abusing nooblets and not just the EOD-bot repairing statspadders.

Battlefield 3: USAS-12 with Explosive Rounds: One Man Army

Apparently, equipping a USAS-12 with explosive frag rounds equals “One Man Army” mode in Battlefield 3. Nerfhammer time again, Dice?

Edit: Thanks to comments after this posting, it is said to be much harder to avoid damaging yourself in Hardcore mode while using this loadout. Still, it does rip people to shreds in Standard mode. (Note: I used to call it noob mode, but as some people (noobs) were offended, I will stop calling it that from now on. ;-))

Battlefield 3: Almighty Tactical Light Nerfed!

Thanks for listening and pulling out the nerf-hammer, Dice!

When comparing these before and after and side by side screenshots of the soon-to-be nerfed tactical light effect, it’s pretty obvious that it’s going to be much more realistic, to the point where you can even see the player character in broad daylight! Oh, the joy.
