When will they do something about the USAS and frag rounds?
As on top of shite as Dice is why do they continue to let this be a clearly over powered issue?

Apparently it's been cleared up on PC and is making it's way down to the consoles. No eta on when that will be yet.

it was fun using it for awhile, because i was using it when it was still an advantage and not 95% of the community was using it, but now i've had my fun with it and its just annoying

Do a little research on the Battlefieldo Blackout thing...check out battlefieldo.com and follow them on Twitter.
Long story short, Battlefieldo is a large BF community that likes to communicate with DICE. DICE likes to communicate back, but the problem lies with EA keeping DICE close lipped about patches, ETA's, and DLC information.

By the time I unlock it, that patch will probably be here so I may never know the "fun" side of the gun...just the cursing side of it.

I follow all of the Dice guys on Twitter and the last patch they didn't even say what they patched. Everyone was playing just trying to figure it out. Seems like a bad way to handle things IMO.

Maybe they're working really hard on that DLC announcement.

Really? Because there are patched notes for it. I follow Battlefieldo, BF3Blog and MP1st as well as check out their sites. They always have patch notes and updates.
ETA: A lot of DICE's interactions are on reddit, I believe.

I just thought maybe with them having like 50 community managers they would tweet it out. I didn't really go looking at 3rd party sites for it.

Twitter is sometimes weird. Lots of those guys use Twitter as their personal facebook status updater.
A lot of the information they put out on the game is done on reddit, at least that's what the third party sites always link and reference to.

I saw PC gameplay video and it looks like the IRNV scope is good again. Yay!

Guess I am just used to other developer putting updates and links out via Twitter.
Notch with Minecraft, Vonderhar with BLOPS, etc
I will check Reddit from now on I guess.

I will probably pop it in today, Jeffo. Have had the itch but have been playing Gotham City Impostors still.
