Gamers discover and abuse invincibility glitch in Battlefield 3

Exactly this!
I don't mind non-core issues at all!
Can't disable mouse smoothing? FINE!
Not enough settings to tweak graphics performance? FINE!

Core issues on the other hand...
Can't launch the game at all? NOT FINE!
Can't login to the platform REQUIRED to play at all? NOT FINE!


I don't mind those small annoying bugs that you can just ignore. Borderlands had MANY of those. But as a game designed from the ground up as a coop and single player RPGFPS experience... the core worked!
Red Dead Redemption, while having multiplayer, wasn't focussed entirely on MP. Fine, my car's passenger seat is made of barbed wire, but at least the friggin car works!!!


I'm really just fed-up beyond comparison with AAA titles releasing broken core components. ESPECIALLY when those issues were already brought up vehemently in testing!

im assuming your running into the two core issues you mentioned there Whenuis? I def agree, if a bug effects the playability of the game then yes its a core issue, whether or not this is something a developer can completely avoid is another question, for all we know it could be a driver issue etc, so how do we decide its the developers fault or another cause? here at my work when we update apps, we test as much as we can, sometimes we miss something, not because we didn't test it but rather because its an extremely freak related incident, we get them, there what we can an acceptable amount you can miss, for instance if it brings down a major part of the app, then no its not acceptable. Again i work small scale, i have honestly no idea how complex BF3 for instance is i just cannot say, therefore i will not come out and say for certain yes they shouldn't have missed this when im not 100% sure that its something that shouldn't have been missed. I will go on the record and say this, often the environment in which the game is running has the biggest impact, for instance we test our applications on testing servers first, the client then tests, works 100%, we implement into production and BAM! half the things now don't work, the type of environment on which the application runs has a huge impact. Would you believe that once of our apps would not work a one persons machine because he had Gtalk installed, now its our fault? No, its something that just could not be avoided at all....

i hope you all see my point in this, its % of people that exp a common issue that either makes a bug acceptable/unacceptable

HEY!!!! This shit happened to me last night on the iGame servers.

I was sniping and had a very clear shot of him, I even managed to shoot 3 times, each time thinking WTF??? Each shot was dead on target and didn't even register he just stood there and ran off. I thought it was lag, but this could very well explain it.

It's a fair point indeed. My main reference was actually made with some hostility towards Rage.
The fact that iD claimed that they developed based on a specific ATi driver, that wasn't available at all to anyone anywhere, was laughable.
Inexcusable bullshit like that can't be allowed anymore!

BF3 I can't personally complain yet, because I am yet to acquire the game. But to be completely honest, with the amount of core-issues left in place brought up during Beta... You can guess where I'm going with this...

I'm absolutely farking sick of forking over my money to shitty developers that don't even bother to fix the shit we test free of charge for them!

they always find away, so annoying and it ruins the game for those who want to play it properly. they will come up with the excuse that they allowed to use the glitch and its not hacking. JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME
