Well, excuse me for not having the time nor the money nor the inclination to work on keeping a computer up to date for gaming. "Console peasants"? Christ, you're worse than the PS3/360 fanboys.

If there's more people like you on the PC, I can certainly see why so many people play consoles.

Those presents allways get rattled so easy

So what do ps3 people think of it so far? I can't wait for tue!

Really liking it so far. The 4 maps have a very diiferent feel to the ones shipped (probably as they're from a different game). What is interesting though is that on some of the maps one side will start will all the conquest points captured while the other will have a few extra tickets and have to win them all back.

I believe that is the new gamemode "Conquest Assault".

I like that.

Enviroment is more destructible too? Are houses open to walk in though? Or they are just empty shells? Any limitations on how much damage you can do on buildings?

I just want to blow the building out from under the snipers at the 2nd flag, that place used drive me nuts in bf2.

B2K is unreal to be honest (PS3). Never played the maps before apart from Wake Island on BF1943 so still learning them.

Gulf of Oman, Sharqi and Karkand are amazing in any game mood, Conq Assault, Rush etc but while Wake Island is very good on Rush it is too big for Conq with only 24 players.

I find Conq Assault goes too fast with games lasting as little as 8-10 minutes and even Rush can be over in less than 20. Wish you could higher ticket games because even at 12 v 12 it can be quite chaotic.

1 MAJOR flaw in the game is the unlocking of the Noob-gun to be all Noob-guns, the Famas. Be prepared to be killed every third time by it. Its is completed OP. I used it myself and finished 18-3, just can't be touched by it (and that was with iron sights, say it is even better with red-dot)

AnCapaillMor

Well it'll be a change from being shot by the f2000.

Is this out tomorrow (midnight night )?

cherryghost

Tomorrow morning as far as I'm aware.

Is the environment more destructible than the shipped maps?

Why do people keep asking that???


Where on earth are people getting the idea that somehow new maps will change the game engine:rolleyes:

That's just marketing tripe that has been up for a long time. The destruction will e the same as the current maps. Hence the line:

you’ll be surprised to see how your old strategies and camping spots are not very secure anymore due to the enhanced destruction that Frostbite™ 2 brings. The enhanced destruction in this expansion pack lets you turn entire maps into rubble. Chip away at cover, blow holes in walls, and bring down building façades on enemies.

Its just re-hashing what was said about BF3. And that there is 'enhanced destruction' just like the main game.

Wonda-Boy

Well it can replace the M60 you used to have super glued to your mitts mate, wanna get that jack hammer shot gun that used to be EPIC!

LighterGuy

So how will I download this on the xbox 360?
I bought the limited edition back at launch. Will it be an automatic update? ..

BlitzKrieg

anyone tried the proxy trick yet to see if the add on will unlock?

Do not speak to your Gods in such a manner. Now kneel in awe at my superior processing power you heathen.

battlelog updating as I type. Expect Karkand within the hour!!!

BlitzKrieg

GO! GO! GO!

AnCapaillMor

Z0mg!!! the MG36. Ok so whats the story with 2nd set of assignments, they show locked on battlelog.

ktulu123

Once you unlock the first one the next one will unlock I think.

BlitzKrieg

had a good go of wake island there (before my computer crashed ) and it is AWESOME!

Unlocked the Famas which felt nice in my hands, sort of like the kh2002

sink

Was it a big download?

if you've played in the last week then you've already downloaded it. Just update Battlelog (less then a minute) and away you go!

Just play Karkand and Gulf Of Oman. Karkan is fantastic, the map is huge! all points accounted for and it genuinely feels bigger then the original due to all the buildings feeling like they had an extra storey or two added to them, also the destruction is very distinct here. (though the middle building seems to be indestructable)

Gulf Of Oman is just confusing, it feels very different to its BF2 counterpart, need more time with it.

Famas is tricky to get the hang off.

BlitzKrieg

Oh and look out for the easter Egg at point E on wake island, its quite good!

spooky donkey

oh to finish work and go try it out

cherryghost

Can't wait to give it a whirl after work also. Will be on b.ie TS3 for the night for anyone interested!

Dublin_Gunner

Why is it still so long until home time?

Knew I should have taken the day off - well, with the blizzard and all this morning, nothing to do with BF3...

I think it feels smaller, more cramped...
or maybe there's just more "stuff" in it, not sure but it definitely feels more "different" than Wake Island and Karkand.

FAMAS = noobgun, almost a cheat in that it is so overpowered.

ShadowHearth

sharqi peninsula is really great map, thats what i was waiting for from BF3. a destructable town. freaking awesome!


Wake island - fliping air is OP... trololol flares trololol flares trololol flares.... are they infinite?

Sounds like a job for the UndeadWondaGunner's!

I just unlocked FAMAS and wow!!! It's probably the best gun in the game really feckin loved it, ROF is unbelievable and almost no recoil. Hopefully DICE don't nerf it's only gun I prefer to use, cause other guns hit detection seems broken for me...

What do you need to unlock, If your assault score is high enough will it auto unlock?

Genghiz Cohen

Go to BattleLog and look at the assignments.

Doesn't feel much better than other guns to me, will unlock foregrip etc and see how it feels

ShadowHearth

Sharqi is awesome map. i am so enjoying it.

i killed some fella with repair tool lol. by pure luck too, as i jumped out of the tank and ran at RPG bastard with my repair tool in hands! that compact G3 is damn good too. might be a replacement for my trusty g36!

It is the ultimate noobgun with everyone using it. It is a shame that people need to use falsely overpowered guns while the rest plough on trying out lesser guns.

Simple reason why I quit playing football games, can only play v Man Utd/Barcelona so many times before getting bored of it, i.e. people choosing the best tools ALL THE TIME
