EA Battlefield 3 - Part 2

[Iceman]

I love Rush although my friends usually want to play Conquest. On BFBC2 I had a K.D not far above zero but I would get the objective all the time. Btw where is your avatar from M.C.?

 

[Master Chief]

I have more fun in Conquest coz I love flying helicopters but nothing beats Rush for intense skirmishes.

Aaand it's from Knallerfrauen, a German comedy sketch show hahah.

 

[Iceman]

Haha, nice t:

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yup, it's so awesome. I still get that sinking feeling in my stomach when I'm in a building and I see a tank roll up lol. I haven't played in a while coz I hate 90% of the jackasses who rent servers and make idiotic rules. But maaaan I do miss Rush matches, sneaking around with a silenced SKS on my own behind enemy lines while fighting rages on in the distance

Haha yea i always dreaded the sound of a tank ruling up. "Dude, is that our tank or theirs coming up?" "I dont know, oh s**t its theirs, its theirs!!!"

Haha great stuff

As for the servers, DICE has added a lot more of their officials servers, still, too hard to find an official DICE server tho.

 

[Iceman]

Would just like to announce my K/D of 0.38 hahaha & having an amazing time on this game!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

lol ouch man.

it ain't about that k/d tho, it's that point total

If you're on Battlelog, we had a Hype platoon. I think it's called the HypeAvengers? It's been so long since i checked it out, but go for it if you want to :P

 

[Iceman]

Somehow managed to get 3rd MVP in a 12 on 12 game (that's crazy for me) that went on for 2 hours (2500 tickets) but I had 7 times as many deaths as kills (although I blew up a ****load of vehicles).

What is Battlelog?

 

[Wolvieboy17]

It's like Halo Waypoint, but it gives you a newsfeed of all your friends, their stats, recent level ups, weapon unlocks etc on your game main menu.

 

[Iceman]

Nice, will have to look into that. Actually I should pay them to hide my stats lol.

Has anyone played with PWN3R? He's a beast at this!

 

[Iceman]

It's quite easy to get 8 player party games in this & they are so much fun. Load of my people on my list are playing this to some extent. Much easier to get a big team together than most other games anyway.

Battlefield 3: Armored Kill DLC To Boast the Biggest Map in BF History

If anything's going to help persuade us to part with 4000 Microsoft Points for a Battlefield 3 Premium subscription, the forthcoming Battlefield 3: Armored Kill DLC could well be it. Promising to "up the ante for vehicular mayhem", the pack will boast a new Tank Superiority mode, which we're assuming means massive tank battles. Oh yes.
As well as offering new vehicles - including new tanks, ATVs and mobile artillery - Armored Kill will also include the largest ever map in Battlefield history, which means large-scale warfare will be getting even larger. Armored Kill will add four new maps in total, designed for "all-out vehicle warfare" and all six game modes will be supported across all maps.
Here's the lowdown from the official Battlefield 3 site:

• All-out vehicle warfare on four new maps
• Includes the biggest map in Battlefield history
• New vehicles, including tanks, ATVs, and mobile artillery
• Bring back five new vehicle unlocks to the base game
• Earn 20+ unlocks for the new vechicles in Armored Kill
• New Tank Superiority game mode
• All maps playable with all six game modes

Battlefield 3: Armored Kill will be coming in September, as the third of five expansions in the pipeline for DICE's FPS. Back to Karkand and Close Quarters are available now, and Aftermath and Endgame will be out in December 2012 and March 2013 respectively. You can grab all of the DLC with a Battlefield 3 Premium membership for 4000 MSP

That is gonna be awesome. Glad they got the CoD crap out of their system, now they can get back to giving us true battlefield gameplay.

 

[Iceman]

So BF4 eh? And maybe BFBC3 down the road. You knew it was going to happen with EA running things!

Yea thats about right. A BF game every two or so years has pretty much been DICEs MO. I hope with BF4 they can give consoles the 64 player MP. I wouldn't see a need to snag it other wise. BF3 is still going strong and i dont see that changing any time soon. Iv been meaning to put down Gears for a bit and hope on some BF3.

So is close quarters any good?

my buddy talked me into getting it even tho i knew i wouldnt like it, which i dont. However, the maps are designed fairly well. Theyre just, well, close quaters(which im not a huge fan of). I actually got the premium as i intended on getting sll the other DLCs. I think the CQ maps are worth it if ur looking for more intense, fast paced gameplay that the rest of the game doesnt offer. If ur like me and much prefer the more "classic" BF experience, id pass.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

The Gun Master game type is a lot of fun and the new maps are gorgeous and while they may not be classic BF maps, theyre still better than COD maps

 

[PWN3R]

It's balls-to-the-wall o'clock 24/7. Reflexes and twitch, twitch plus a little side of twitch.

But it's a blast. Nice change of pass after playing Caspian or Firestorm.

Deff true. I haven't played that Gun Master thing yet. Just jumped into what seemed like a version of conquest. I thought the maps were pretty good, but not at all a fan of that type of gameplay showing up in BF.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Like PWN3R said though, it's just great for variety. Gives BF3 wider appeal without feeling like its dumbed down or pandering at all.

 

[Quasimod0]

Thanks for responding guys, I'll have to get it. I actually like the maps like metro and bazaar. So I'll probably enjoy close quarters too

 

[AxlsAppetite]

I just got the game and I already earned the Mvp ribbon in Rush. I was worried that I would never get it since im new to this and suck pretty bad right now.

Do the shortcuts have a downside? Like, do they affect achievements? I noticed theres a shortcut for co-op weapons but theres an achievement tied to them. I plan on doing the co op missions anyways but id like to know.

Edit: eh nv the second part. i didnt realize you only unlock the weapon itself and not the actual accesories for it.

 

[chaseter]

I mostly stick to vehicles so I can't wait for this new expansion pack. Close quarters sucked IMO...too much CoD crap influence.
