    This episode we had the extreme pleasure of talking with Alan Kertz aka Demize99, who is the senior gameplay designer for BF3. This was our second time having him on the podcast and we touched on a variety of topics ranging from:

    - Xbox Patch
    - Suppression Tweaks
    - Battlerecorder
    - Upcoming DLC and Patches

    We asked as many questions as we had time for, many from the livestream. If you'd like to be notified to when we go live, follow us on our Twitch.tv.

    Let me know what you thought of the podcast this week and suggestions for things we could do or talk about in the future!

    This is really good. Thank you everyone involved. I think everyone in the community who complains in a rude and/or unproductive way should listen to this.

    I loved listening to this podcast. I feel many of the larger questions with the patch were brought up and answered in a manner that was not sugar coated. I enjoy how DICE, namely Alan Kertz here was willing to step up to the plate and tackle these issues. I come to BFO/DRMB pretty often lately, but this is the first podcast I've invested time into. Extremely pleased guys, Thanks.

    Not the first I have invested time into and was nice to hear some answers to our questions, its just a shame that although he admitted there are problems with things we wont see a fix now at least until the DLC, I would be amazed if we see a patch before the DLC is ready for release.

    I was glad to hear Alan comment on those larger issues. (Tank/Repair Tool combo nerf, Suppression, etc..) I was afraid these changes and the way they affected the overall gameplay were entirely purposeful. DICE really has to work their ass off to please everyone. When the entire community cries wolf, I 'd imagine it to be very difficult to see clarity or consistency when making patch decisions.

    Why cant I pause the podcast then come back to it, when I do that it stops working and I have to refresh the page. Once I refresh the page it works again but I cant skip forward ive heard the first part now 3 or 4 times, i was at the live stream so ive heard it already I just wasnt paying a huge amount of attention at times so now i want to hear the bits I know I missed.

    from what I've heard of the issues with the patch, I'm kind of glad us XBL players don't have it yet. Good stuff though

    Yeah dude it sucks, it keeps starting over and I have no way of moving the cursor to pickup where I left off, it just starts over again!

    Have you tried downloading the MP3 and playing on a different media player. I put all the mp3s on my phone and never have problems.

    Thats an option for sure but it just would be nice to have more control over the player here in this page there isn't really any point in pausing it if your going to have to listen from the beginning anyway once you press play again.

    Suppression should only be a visual mechanic. It should not in any shape, form or fashion impair the functionality of an inanimate object ... aka a weapon or projectile.

    Standing still hip firing an M16A3 (underslung, acog, flash suppressor) at a target 5-6 meters away ... maybe 2-3 rounds landed. That my friends is BS!

    Supression is having an impact on bullet deviation!
    There are plenty of videos with slow motion showing this.
    In the below link video an Acog center mass aimed slug round is deviating 90 degrees straight up while under suppression.
