What does the new version entail?
Fixed so Bug sentry sends crash info
Fixed a telemetry error that caused some reporting to be wrong
Fixed a exe problem that allowed clients to visually host server
Adjusted the value of several scoring events
Tweaked balance on some weapons
We recommend nVidia players go and download the nvVidia 280.19 beta drivers from
http://www.nvidia.com as it contains changes which should improve the BF3 Alpha Trial experience.
Service stars:
Now have names to show why you got it
Reduced to 2000 points (previously 10000)
Scoring:
Repair points now work for both squad and the rest of the team
Resupply points now work for both squad and the rest of the team
Ribbons
A few adjustments to criteria needed for ribbons.
Weapons:
Increased damage of bolt sniper rifles at long ranges for two hit kills.
Fixed so claymore mines will detonate and damage properly. Note you can crouch or prone to move past a mine without detonating it.
Adjusted the distance fall off for all automatic weapons. Weapons retain their power in extreme CQB but require an addition hit to kill at longer ranges.
Increased the headshot bonus to reward players for accurate fire at long ranges.
Fixed a bug where Snipers were never perfectly accurate like they should have been.
Increased the range of shotgun pellets to better fit our battle distances.
Tweaked the recoil of the G36C, this weapon had far too little recoil.
