Battlefield 3

Re: Battlefield 3

Ok here's my review of Close Quarters

It is seriously like Call of Duty. There is no teamwork needed whatsoever. It's just running from flag to flag over and over again because it's impossible to hold a flag for more than like a minute.

But it's kinda fun. At first it seemed really cool because it was something new, but it got kinda old fast.

The games go so quick that you need 200% tickets to actually feel like you played a full game. Explosives can get really annoying too.

The maps are really cool. Team deathmatch seems more appropriate for them though.

Gun Master is pretty stupid IMO. It's like team deathmatch, only you get a different gun after ever two kills or something. It wants screw your W/L ratio because even if you lose, you will get a win if the person who wins is on your team.

Also it doesn't help playing with Badb0yz and two of his friends from AxW since they got to the last level before I even got to like level 10

I see myself rarely playing Close Quarters after a while. High ticket Metro requires more skill and teamwork than this. But if you like team deathmatch, this would probably me a good DLC for you

That is why I have no interest in the dlc and would be a waste of money for me. I was watching some of the vids posted and was bored after a few minutes. It just looks mindless and very repetitive like rats running through a maze rinse and repeat. I think Dice should have given people the option to buy things individually as I have no interest in close quarters or armored kill.

Re: Battlefield 3

I think the maps are slightly bigger than they advertised, 8v8 makes it a bore-fest, they need to make it a full 24 players. I can understand limiting it for PC bc 64 would be ridiculous(but chaotically fun im sure) but 16 ppl for console is just stupid and slow paced.

I agree. I understand they did not want to crowd the maps, but there is definitely enough space for 24 players on these maps. There is a good bit of down time running between objectives. The one round of gun master I played, there was a point I ran around for five minutes and did not see any enemies.

I don't know how many rounds in a row I could play them. I end up missing the battlefield feeling of bigger maps and flanking routes. If you like the frantic pace of COD in a BF setting, then you'll love these maps.

I also agree here. I was "satisfied" with playing on the new maps after a very brief time, and I actually wanted to go back and get to the old maps. It is a nice change of pace every once in a while, but this will not be a steady part of my rotation.

These maps were introduced more as a means to satisfy the "infantry only" players, I think. There really are not many maps providing the experience without vehicles of some sort (Operation Metro is the only one I can think of off the top of my head).

I generally would have preferred if they made all the maps similar to Op Metro. In that vein, make the maps large enough but still not require vehicles. At least then you could still do Rush on the maps (and have full 24 player games so they could be mixed up with the other maps).

Re: Battlefield 3

I also meant to ask does anyone know how to unlock the other gun camouflages? For the F2000 woodland camo on battlelog it says complete "F2000 Specialist Assignment," but what exactly is that?

Where can I find out how to unlock all of the CQ weapons? Just purchased premium.

You can buy the DLC individually.

This would have been a little more fun. I was hoping one of these maps would have been like this.

You do have that option. Don't buy premuim and just purchase the DLC maps you want. You just won't get them early.

Re: Battlefield 3

I just watched a video of some Gun Master gameplay and the guy got knifed and it said "You Have Been Demoted". So I guess it is like Black Ops' gun game.

FWIW, I actually liked that mode in Black Ops as a break from the regular online multiplayer. I probably won't play it a lot, but I'm glad there are alternative games on the new DLC.

So playing yesterday I realize that whoever said that you cant stack perks, forget who it was, was right. Kind of.

It doesnt work like it used to where a teammates perk would stay with you even if he left the tank or even died. Now the teammate has to be in the tank at all times for you to utilize his perk. So once he leaves the tank, you lose the perk. Realized it playing with Marino when I had on Reactive and he had proximity. He hopped out to go after a guy hiding around a corner and the guy disappeared from the mini map so Marino lost him and got killed. Lol



We were clobbering that round. Funny thing is we joined that round late and still managed to finish MVP 1 and 2.
Then there was another round we played earlier in the day where we were clobbering as well on Caspian. Then I think you got disconnected.





That mess was so funny. We'd swing around to where a flag was being taken and we'd find you in a corner being motionless. You wouldnt run or anything. Either you just accepted your fate or you thought you thought we were a TRex in that as long as you didnt move, we wouldnt see you.

Then after we killed you a few times, I see a "f*** you" message pop up in the corner of the screen. Had me cracking up.

Lmao I was laying still because I thought you didn't see me then ya starting shooting an I tried hiding behind the tree lol. Another time I got lucky an caught Marino but someone came in the tank an took me out.

i prefer infantry only maps. From what i'm seeing of these maps they resemble COD a little too much for my liking but i wont judge until i actually play on them

Cant imagine only 8vs 8 too and as far as running between objectives is anotther thing i hate about the main modes in this game.

The original TDM maps were perfect size imo...Not to big and not too small

Check Battlelog or look at the assignments under the My Soldier menu in game.

If you're 360 the weapons come with the map-pack not premium.

Re: Battlefield 3

I can't use the ACW-R at all, the controller doesn't even vibrate when you shoot which throws me off.

yea thats annoying i agree...but running games with teamwork involved and none of your teamates well, using teamwork is even more frustrating IMO.

nothing more frustrating then going 2 on 1 against 2 good tank drivers

And somehow your *** kept surviving my shells. Now granted I'm not the best shot. But every time I found you, you werent moving. So I'd aim the turret right at you and fire, only to see your life bar drop to a pixel and then Marino would finish you off.

He finished off so many of my kills that round. Lol

I'm the closer, what do you expect?

Re: Battlefield 3

Played CQ last night with JNES, Jwil, Chizzy and more OS heads and got flashbacks of playing Black Ops.

We'll probably need more time with the maps to figure out strategy, specifically holding some flags. On Donya Fortress, the flag that is on the balcony (forget which letter) can definitely be held because it seems there are only two approaches to it.

Some of the other flags, like the one in Donya in the middle of a wide open two story room will be impossible to hold down, especially with only 8 players.

I agree with others in that after about 45 minutes I found myself wanting to go back to the other maps that have some strategy in it. Hell, later in the night, I actually enjoyed getting spawn trapped in Metro (US side) against Chizzy and Jnes. I was practicing picking and popping from range and took those two down a couple of times. Sorry boys.

That's not to say that I won't play the CQ maps but as someone else said earlier, they won't be part of my regular rotation.

I really enjoy working maps as a team and the quick thinking that it requires. Trying to out think the other team, flanking, back raging, spawn bombing, and the strategic use of vehicles is why I've played BF.

I can't blame EA / Dice for trying to tap into the COD fanbase, strategically it was probably a good time considering that Modern Warfare didn't do as well as some people thought it would.

All that being said, I'll be on your server 2nite Jnes getting some CQ in.
