Battlefield 3 - Page 329

My typical hat email involves no life or no sex life. Though I do take bathroom breaks :-)

Who needs a bucket?

That last video was hilarious, BF is my p($$y another great line. That's the best video they have made so far.

Anybody want to start a MAV squad later? Or better yet, a MAV team.

Funny you should mention that, since they patched the MAV killing a while back I haven't seen it much. But yesterday on metro there had to be a couple of squads doing nothing but MAV killing. There were 4 or 5 MAVS buzzing around taking people out. I managed to never get killed by one but blew up several.

Had some good matches this weekend. After unlocking a few attachments for the PKP I love that gun.

I hate to say this, but if you join a party and there are already four people in it and we are switching servers, don't be a douche and take the last place in the squad, I'm sure if you asked somebody would be willing to split the squad up so everybody can have fun. This is the third time this has happened to me playing with this group and I feel something should be said about it. I just quit playing because I was so disgusted. Not going to name names, but please be mindful of this.

If this was me, I apologize.

On the flip side if there are 5 AVS / friends of AVS , split into 3 - 2. It really sucks being the fourth on a squad of MAV fliers.

It was Zath wasn't it?

Now that I think about it he was probably on the other team.

Does anybody know exactly what time the new maps will be available? What about a download, is that necessary and if so, will it take long? Just curious, as the new maps are upon us ...yay. Still bummed about hearing it's only 8v8, instead of the full 12v12.

No it wasn't Zath or BigOrange, LOL. I'm over it I just don't want it to keep happening.

That's the first I've heard of it being 8v8 instead of 12v12, I hope you are wrong about that.

I think Harpua was the one that had said that CQ was 8 v 8. I wonder if it is a limitation to avoid lagging or stuttering with all the destruction going on.

They toned down the number of players to up the destruction and to account for smaller maps. I was thinking we could combine SQDM and CQ on our server since there's only 16 max for both modes. It's why I setup the SQDM maps over the weekend to prepare.

I bit the Bullet and picked up Battlefield Premium..

So far it feels worth it....

Just bought Premium, it is a 108 kb download, so the mandatory update obviously contained all the new Close Quarters data.

For anyone on the fence, I bought a 4000 point card this am for $39.99 from here:

Got the code this afternoon in my email, just input it now and it worked.... seems like a deal to me. I am in no way affiliated with this dude.

Those who have premium make sure you pick up CQ from the ingame store and not Live. If you get it from Live your charged for it separately. Saw that posted on the Battlelog the other day. Still not up yet, figured I'd check. The AVS server is setup for gungame though?

Scratch that, just started the game and it said congrats on the new goodies.

Maps are really small. Fun though. Flags cap fast on Dom. Gun master is tough.

I'll be on this afternoon to play the new maps.

as expected. this is their bid to show how BF3 can not only do huge battlefields but also the COD style CQC.

It works. The maps are really open. Not much Metro style chokepoints.

Except there is no camping for killstreaks which instantly makes this more enjoyable (surprisingly I haven't run into many claymores either). I still find it fatiguing, but it's tough to argue that they didn't accomplish what they set out to do.

My biggest gripe with the pack is the 16 player limitation - tough to shove these maps into vanilla/B2K rotations. I am going to be extremely disappointed if one of the last two packs doesn't come with Metro/Seine/Bazaar style maps.

Anyone use the new M417 yet? Wow. SKS has a rival.

It will be nice to gave stuff blow ip on a small map. That's one thing that steered me away from COD is there needs to be destruction of the maps. And it has been the same game with a different name ever since COD 4 modern warfare 1.

I was a little disappointed in the destruction. They made it sound EPIIIIIIC!!!!!! I expected to blow entire walls completely out, big gaping hole. Well not so much, you can open gun holes up but not car size blasts. C4 radius seems a lot bigger too.

Gun Master is NICE!!!

I played a quick match of Gun Master on Towers and TDM on Scrap Metal this morning. Gun Master was fun, and a nice bit of thievery from COD that I think will be even more enjoyable in the BF world. I really liked the lighting and sound on Scrap Metal, and the potential battles between the two buildings' rooftops seems promising.

I'll be on in a bit if any of the lunchtime crew wants to cut their teeth with me on the new maps.

Silly me logged on this morning to queue up the download only to realize after talking to Nexus I already downloaded the maps with the last update. Doh. I thought I was being clever. I'll be on tonight after 7 or so.

Played hooky for a bit this morning and checked out the new maps. Fun I guess. The destruction is nice, good change of pace. But Dice you're not going to out-COD on a COD type gameplay. I think the lack of 60fps shows up more here. Need to learn the maps better before giving my final opinion. didn't get to play gunmaster yet.

Yeah played some Domination earlier and it was fun, way better than I expected. Didn't try Gun Master yet. This is from someone who never liked COD. And btw Gutter they did not lift it from COD see Counter Strike's Gun Game

Also harp is right -- definitely more intense feeling than any other mode but will be nice for change of pace at times. I think this mode sticking with squad will be key since you can either spawn on your squad or random point. If a team is playing with two coordinated squads I can see them dominating a team of randoms even more than regular conquest since the maps are much smaller.

Good to hear the positive feedback.

I plan on breaking my own rules of not playing during the week to play to with you guys tonight. See ya later.

Make sure and dive off Ziba tower for your secret cheevo.
