I’m really happy to announce that real physics apply to sniping in Battlefield 3! During the live Battlefield 3 video hosted on IGN.com yesterday, I asked a question via twitter regarding whether bullet drop and windage would be a factor when sniping in the game. I left the room for a minute during the broadcast, only to come back and hear the last part of the answer to either my question or a similar question from someone else (I hope it was mine!, but I can’t confirm at this time since the video replay seems to be down), and the answer is yes…they do apply in the game!

I’m excited about this, because it makes long distance shooting much more of a challenge, and seeing as how some of the maps are massive in scale, it will make for some pretty fun sniping moments. I’m ready to spread some lead, how about you guys?!? See you on the Battlefield!

I looked all over the net to see if there was a fix for this problem, and it turns out that I’m not the only one having this issue. Not only is this happening in the Xbox 360 version of the game, but also in the Playstation 3 version.

I was able to find a single post, after a few hours of searching, that mentioned a way to at least prevent the freezing from occuring. Only problem is, you have to do it after every game you play. It’s a little annoying that EA hasn’t had this problem patched yet, but this is better than nothing.

All you have to do to prevent the freeze, is after every game you play, save your superstar, then exit career mode. Then, if you want to play another game, resume your career. It’s worked for me every time and it really doesn’t take that long to do.

I’m not sure, but this problem might also occur in Franchise mode or other modes in the game. If so, try saving your game, exiting the mode, and then load your save, after each game.
