Hi all Battlefield veterans and fans!
After over one week of hard work I'm finally releasing my big project! It's basically a new GUI(Graphical User Interface) and a patch list that the community want to be fixed or implemented in to the game. I've been collecting information regarding all parts of BF3. Using community feedback to DICE and then made the patch list and UI.
I have been playing Battlefield since 1942, so most in this project is inspired by old BF games. Mostly BF2/2142.
GUI Design Concept
- Here is the Battlefield 3 SPAWN MENU GUI concept. (KITS, SQUADS(VOIP), DEPLOY, SOLDIER, VEHICLES & CHAT)
*
* (Click image to see full resolution.)
- Here is the Battlefield 3 IN-GAME HUD, Command Rose & End of Round GUI concept.

Community Patch List
General Fixes
- Fix the ”Black Screen” that occurs when spawning in or, entering certain vehicles. E.g. LittleBird F2-F4 positions. (Fades from black for about 0.5 & 1 sec.)
- When spawning on a squad mate, allow the player to spawn in the same direction as he/she is facing.
- When revived, allow the player to DIRECTLY move sideways, to DIRECTLY get up(standing OR crouching), and to DIRECTLY move when you have stood
up(standing OR crouching).
- If spawn point is unavailable, DO NOT auto spawn on team base. Allow the player to choose a new spawn point instead.
- Add explosions to TV Missiles. ATM, no explosion occurs at all. *
*
- ENTER button during killcam will exit the killcam and take you directly to the spawn menu. You will not be able to be revived after exiting killcam.
- Enable more/deeper ground destruction. Alpha version was good.
*
*
- Option for Command Rose to show up directly when "Q" is pressed, like BF2.
- Fix bug which makes you "lag-slide" when moving sideways using the PK-A(3.4x)(also on .44) or the Russian 4x scope.
*
*
- Revamp the Command Rose sound layers so it's on the top for everyone.
- Add blinking icon to player who yell for ammo, medic etc.
Game Balance and Gameplay (Infantry & Weapons)
- "1HitKill" with bolt action sniper rifles; up to 7M for SV98 from waist to neck, up to 10M for M40 from waist to neck and up to 15M for M98B from waist to neck.
- Increase the damage of the Javelin against both armored and unarmored vehicles. "1HitKill" against Growler ITV & VDV Buggy. 2 shots = 80 damage against
armored vehicles(First rocket = Disable).
- "1HitKill" against all vehicles using the Javelin with SOFLAM, or other laser painter.
- Increase the total amount of Javelin rockets carried both when using "Explosive Upgrade/SQD Explosive Upgrade" and when not.

- Allow the player to enter his/her placed Mortar(again) without having to pick it up first.
- Allow the MAV to JAM the Mortar mini-map for 45sec. Distortion effect on the mini-map when "in" the Mortar. (Still need to wait 45sec even if you "reload" the
mortar.)
- Add a "tip on screen" for Mortars, stating the buttons for smoke/explosives.
- Give more points for spotting enemies. 20 at least.
- Decrease the time it takes for the parachute to deploy.
Game Balance and Gameplay (Vehicles)
- Make it easier to drive the EOD bot(turning).
- Increase the acceleration and top speed of the HMMWV and Vodnik.
- Decrease the armor on mobile AA tank.
- Increase the reload time on heat seekers for mobile AA tank.
- Increase the spread of gatling gun for mobile AA tank. (So it's only powerful at close to medium range.)

LAV-25, AAV-7A1 AMTRAC, RHIB BOAT, M1114 HMMWV, GAZ-3937 VODNIK, VDV BUGGY, GROWLER ITV) . 25sec cool down before same person can "give"
you transport points.
- Give the gunners of transport helicopters and jeeps hitmarkers. (UH-1Y VENOM, KA-60 KASATKA, VDV BUGGY, GROWLER ITV).
- More vehicles should spawn at flags in 64 player Conquest Large mode.

- Repair icon showed on HUD in vehicle when being repaired.
General Gameplay Wishlist
- Two man jets; Pilots have gatling gun and heat seekers or rocket pods.

Battlelog and Forum Wishlist
