Battlefield 3 - Page 411

BUT...everyone missed out on the Nexus/mph drunkfest/ragequit! You two were killing me last night, lol.

Everyone also missed out on playing against the homos! ([HOMO] moniker squad.) I know Nexus got poked (knifed) by one of them for sure!

Homos one and all. Sure felt like I was taking it hard in the wrong place. May have been poor alcohol fueled choices though.

But that takes commitment.. I DUNNO

Yeah when I took a quick look at the roxio one and read a CNET review talking about how the sw put a strain on their PC until they tried it out on their gaming rig and it worked OK. That turned me off of that one since I have a crappy pc. Otherwise I would of tried it out.

Buy from a place that has a good return policy. If it sucks take it back, then I'll just have to post vids from my point of view of you killing me with a knife 50 times with no dogtag animation

hopping on in a little bit!

... that is if I can get past the loading screen! My xbox keeps freezing right after I "press start to begin" UGH

Some fun tonight. Wacky games, particularly on Metro. I spent 95% of the match shooting out smoke while Zath chucked grenades at poor disoriented souls wandering through the mist and into his claymores. Got team-killed 4 times in one game, despite not even being on Hardcore. That takes some effort, but thanks to Hapi shooting a gas tank near me while I was trying to save him from being C4'ed, and some blue jackass pushing my Vodnik atop me whle I was Jav'ing a tank, anything is possible. Little was left of Seine, since Zath and I blew the town apart with the tank. Amazing how playing with you guys changes my attitude. Randoms just plain suck.

Spyder and I were the trolls at the end of the bridge on Seine. Great times. Coupled with other RPGs, we completely demolished the entire facing side of both buildings, getting a few rubble kills along the way.

Don't forget me killing the guy just as he was about to knife you!

And perhaps the greatest miracle of all - we didn't crash into each other!

Another highlight of the night was flying a n00b over to the enemy carrier on Kharg and LANDING the chopper right behind the AA gun. Idiot in the AA gun didn't even notice. Then I saw the enemy chopper on the Air Radar, so I took off and we had a chopper battle at close range. Poor guy panic-flared, so I switched to heat seekers, locked on, and fired from point-blank range. About that time, we landed again, as the AA guy finally noticed us and killed us. Poor gunner!

Sounds like y'all had some fun last night. I probably won't be on until next Wednesday. So I plan on getting some aftermath action then, with PVR going.

After leaving BF for about a month for those "other" games last made me realize how much more I like BF. The games is a year behind those games and I personally they are not as good. The only downfall I did notice was the sound was not as good as though. For the 1st match I kept on making sure everything was plugged in correctly. It was the gun sounds that threw me off.

No PVR for me last night, that computer has been busting some ass the last week converting videos. I'll have it back running up for Aftermath.

Been playing Blackops 2 for 2 weeks now and I can't wait to get aftermath! The big difference IMO between the two is the action and pace of both games. BF3 is kinda boring if you are playing without a team or in game chat. Also when the other team is not attacking just sitting back and sniping. But when you have all 24 players playing at the same time and going for the objectives, BF3 is the best shooter.

Now with blk ops 2, anyone can get in to the game and play. Most of the time I play solo and had a blast. Not much team work or in game chat. It's so fast paced that you can play 100 games in hr and that makes COD so addicting. You have 5-10 mins per match, then it's only 30 seconds before the next match starts. Skip the cam and get right back in to action. No changing load out, attachments or perks bc you can't.

They are both very different games. Both have their up and downs. But in the end, it's just entertainment. BF3 still has way way way better audio. The guns in blk ops 2 all sound the same unlike BF3.

Popped in BF3 last night for the 1st time in 2 months and lo n behold-some south American had hacked my battlelog acct. My battle feed now sez I've been earning ranks/attachments forever under the guys gamertag. Not sure how he did it. He hacked into my acct, added himself as a friend, and now everything he's done is on my battlefeed. However, he didn't hack my Live acct-yet. Time for new email/passwords!

New maps are incredible. Constant flag flipping like Seine. For consoles and infantry, easily the best map pack in my opinion.

... but are there any jets?

I'll probably pick it up if everyone here says it's good

I think if you want to fly you will have to stick with the scout choppers or jeep+c4

No jets. Scout chopper is only on one map. Couple maps with tanks and think they all have vans/vodniks/hummers.

If you're a fan of the gameplay of Seine, you'll absolutely love these maps. There are no real chokepoints, but there is constant action and flag flipping throughout. Flag placement and map design is top notch. Finally feels like a map pack that suits the 24 player count perfectly.

Kinda like close quarters flag caps?

=D
Seine my fav original BF3 map. DIS GONNA BE GOOD

The Scavenger game mode is exactly like close quarters domination (flags cap quick), but you start with pistols and have to find weapons throughout the map. The conquest variations of the maps are larger - in between Seine and Strike at Karkand. Flag placement is perfect so the action is constantly rotating.

Dude....I think you'll love it. I've been playing with one buddy and mostly randoms but lucked out with being paired up with a big group last night. We were rolling and capping like the AVS days on Seine.

Good to hear, sounds fun, thanks for the review.

So when does it drop for xbox premium members?

Edit- nevermind found it..." For Xbox 360 and PC Premium members, Aftermath will be available on December 4."

Dec. 18th for me!

Not all of us can be cool

I am equally excited about this as I am of Aftermath.

Looks like a Dec 16 release, here is a little teaser

The return of the bucket!

heading on in a few min.

Downloading Aftermath!

I loaded up bf3 and could see servers with aftermath maps and it said I didn't have the required dlc. So I went to the bf3 store through the game menu and started to DL the aftermath dlc. Its 1.59 gigs, so plan accordingly later. For some reason I was thinking the patch that came out last week had the aftermath maps in it. I'll be on for an hour or two later this eve around 5:30 central.

Nice. For some reason I thought the maps were dropping on the 6th. Guess I'll be on this evening.
