Dipshit medics and support players, you request health/ammo, shoot at them, spam the chat, they don't even notice. Usually it's another teammate, who isn't even in your squad who will end up helping you out and dropping ammo or health. Battlefield 3 players can now skip the middle-man and request items right from the command-rose and the appropriate classes will be alerted via the mini-map on your team.
2. Orders -> Command Rose
You're a BF3 squad leader and there's an enemy next to a flag? Instead of spotting them, you've now assigned your squad to attack said point
. DICE has acknowledged this minor gameplay breaker and has moved orders to within the command rose. More spotting for Battlefield 3!3. Better Tracking
The current command rose has been buggy, the mouse will now track from the center of the command rose.
4. Easier Interaction
Hover over a command in the comma-rose and let go, no need to click each command. This will allow for a quicker spot, request, or thank you.
5. Readability
The command rose prior to this new patch was a bit hard for Battlefield 3 players to read, it's now been made a bit easier to understand.
6. The mini-map!!
It's time to do-away with the semi-artsy overview. Maps can now be the original, satellite, or a hybrid, we suggest using the hybrid version for all Battlefield 3 maps.
7. Honkkk
The jeeps, they have horns!
8. Insta-flares for all players in jets
Yes, we're all aware that jets have now been ruled somewhat useless by the new patch, but the jets are still a bit easier to get the hang of for new Battlefield 3 players.
9. Transport helicopter pilots now get a higher paycheck
Are you one of those pilots who flies a group of dedicated gunners around and only get a few points? Instead of ten points for an assist, you'll be making 50 points per assisted kill as a helicopter pilot in Battlefield 3.
10. SOFLAM also generates XP and points
As targets enter into the SOFLAM's view, the SOFLAM will paint them, continuously giving recon players points.
11. Bring on the Suppression Ribbons!
One of the most difficult ribbons to get in Battlefield 3 is the suppression ribbon. 7 suppression assists in a round, this has been lowered to a more reasonable 3 suppression assists per round.
12. Pay-2-Cheat
Players can now unlock all items for vehicles, kits, and various other weapons just by paying EA. There's also an Ultimate Bundle which allows you to unlock everything!
