Battlefield 3 developer seeks accessory help

Early last year, Battlefield 3 developer Alan Kertz took to Twitter to tell gamers all about developments in the then-upcoming game.

Apparently that worked out pretty well for him, as he's back again in 2012. This time around, Kertz has popped up on Reddit, asking for player feedback on weapon accessories in Battlefield 3.

I'm working on a retweak of the accessories in the game currently, as I feel the player is limited in choice due to a few accessories being the clear winners in almost all categories. While this unfortunately means nerfing those that are over used, the goal here is to focus on improving the under performing and under used attachments. Additionally it is the intention for an unmodified weapon to offer the best balance of Recoil, Accuracy, and Stealth. Right now this is preliminary, I've already asked for feedback on different attachments, and there's several good threads here and on Battlelog that discuss the weapons. Again, I'm not promising this will go live, and I'm not promising there will be an update, I'm looking for feedback and a discussion.

Specifically, Kertz mentions the Foregrip, Bipod, Suppressor, Heavy Barrel, Flash Suppressor and Target Pointer as accessories which may need to be looked at. What do you think?

The conversation's been going for a few days now and is still bubbling away - and Kertz is still listening to what you have to say. If you've got an opinion - even if that's a tear-filled "Leave BF3 alone!", head over to the Reddit discussion and make your voice heard!
