Battlefield 3: 5 Broken Features & How to Fix Them

5. Gun Master & Team Deathmatch

Why it's broken: Gun master is wrong on so many levels. 4 of them, to be precise. (Lets see if anyone got that joke). For starters, a team based mode for this game type is never going to work. Second, the weapons are crap. DICE did recently remove the MK3A1 with frag rounds, but please let us pick our own guns please. Thirdly, the two kills thing sucks. Team deathmatch pretty goes against everything Battlefield stands for, but I have no problem with that if the mode is good. It isn't. It feels like a watered down version of the game, and is so damn boring. How to fix it: For starters, give us a free for all variant. This way, we can have the best of both worlds. As for the weapons gripe, take out the grenade launcher and stop giving such stupid attachments. Seriously, LSAT with 3.4x sight? What were you thinking, DICE? Finally, and DICE has mentioned this before, server admins should have control over the modes options. How many guns there are, what order they're in and what attachments they have. As for TDM, a lot of work needs to be done. On top of the mode we have now, implement as full scale version. TDM with jets, tanks, 64 players on full sized maps. Many players just use air vehicles for kills, so killwhores can get their fix here. Win win. So there's just a few things that need some serious work in Battlefield 3. For my money, it's still the best shooter around. It has great graphics, awesome, lots of great features and is generally a blast to play. From the awesome sniper headshots to the double jet to infantry kills to the sheer scale of the fights. That is, until Medal of Honor: Warfighter comes out in October and gives Black Ops II and BF3 some runs for their money. What else needs fixing, or has something here been overlooked? Let us know below.
