Apart from the fact that you don't know me. Lol you see kev182cup on a screen and see a sarcastic Internet comment a few times a day.

And back to the game I'm not putting in loads of hours on this either just using it to get used to the feel of it and get my bearings before the big release.

The map sinking is f**king annoying.

There's a way around the map sinking though.

Suicide.

:dapprove:
 
Speaking of getting stuck in the scenery, I remember on Laguna Presa on BC2 I jumped down from a hill and ended up behind a tree in a ditch by the river and couldn't get out. I was jumping like a mad man trying to free myself to no avail. This guy on my team runs past and must see me out of the corner of his eye, turns and looks to see me struggling. So then he starts trying to chop away at the bushes and trees with his knife in an attempt to rescue me. Quite nice, considering I didn't know this guy at all. I then had a brainwave - I'd shoot my way out. Sadly I'd somehow forgotten that this guy was standing clear as day infront of me so I just unloaded a round into the trees and watched as this poor guy stood there, convulsing, as I sprayed a full magazine of bullets into his entire body. He then respawned and shot me in the head. Nice.

<3

I laughed reading this, lol!
 
LOL!

Reminds me of the time some randomer kept team killing me and a squad mate. We devised a plan to continually kill him and revive him as punishment. We hunted him down, shot him and got into position. As I revived him my mate started shooting and missed entirely, killing me with a pretty well executed headshot. Subsequently got himself killed. Rediculous.
 
Seb, AK and I got stuck UNDER the metro section last night.

We were running around under the map and could see everyone else playing above us. lol.

Me too!! Was good though as you could kill folk if they knelt or lay down so everytime they tried to arm I'd f**k em up.
 
EA & DICE pulled out all the stops, hosting the Final Hours event in San Francisco, CA at the posh Terra Event Center to show press never-before-seen footage of all 9 multiplayer maps to be shipped with Battlefield 3, as well as new co-op missions and new singleplayer missions. While PC was the main platform showing off the singleplayer portion, I was able to hop on both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the multiplayer, and let me tell you, if you were concerned about the game after experiencing often bug-ridden beta, you will sleep soundly knowing that this most recent build of the game played (and looked) like a game ready to be shipped. As DICE producer Patrick Bach reassured me, this most recent build that I experienced is STILL not the final build.
Though all 9 maps were present and playable, I was able to play through 3: Operation Firestorm – Conquest (Xbox 360), Caspian Border – Conquest (PS3) and Grand Bazaar – Rush (Xbox 360).
Here are a few of my thoughts from the maps and a list of improvements I noticed from the beta:
Operation Firestorm – Conquest (Xbox 360)
  • A linear map with three flag captures, desert setting, like a cross between Arica Harbor of BFBC2 and Gulf of Oman of BF2.
  • Each team has a plethora of vehicles including 2 jets, 2 choppers, tanks and jeeps.
  • All flag captures are in the middle of a giant oil refinery spanning most of the map. The refinery contains a lot of tall structures, ladders, cranes, and construction buildings. Great for snipers.
  • Though scaled for consoles, map still felt really large. I never once hit the boundaries while flying a jet. Map’s size slightly smaller than Heavy Metal.
Grand Bazaar – Rush (Xbox 360)

I’m not as big a fan of rush, but this map was really fun!
  • Middle Eastern setting, lots of alleyways, quick corners, rooms and offshoots to get to the objectives. Found myself a little backwards at times which made it feel less linear.
  • Impressive ambient lighting from porch lights and sun, great atmospherics made the city feel life-like.
  • Map seem to turn directions as objectives were taken
Caspian Border – Conquest (PS3)
  • Though DICE has said the map has been scaled down to fit consoles still, felt very large. Environment looked the same as PC, objectives seem closer than the PC counterpart, that’s really the only difference.
  • Lighting effects were phenomenal on this map. Found myself blinded by the sun more than once in a dogfight.
  • 24 players still felt really fun on this map. I didn’t find myself having to search for people to kill.
New improvements since the beta:
  • First thing I noticed on the consoles were the graphics. They looked much better than the beta. Textures were smoother, character movements were much more fluid, and environments seemed to have more warmth to them. Also, the lighting was more dynamic, atmospherics more gritty and present, things just seem to run smoother on this build. All the frame rate issues, glitches, pops and sound drops of the beta were nowhere to be found. Bach reiterated that the beta was already a month and a half old before it was launched because of the time it takes to certify for release. It’s amazing how much polish they were able to put on the game since the beta.
Gameplay changes:
  • When placing a spawn beacon or a enemy motion sensor as a sniper, the devices would appear red indicating that it could not be placed in that location. When the device could be placed, it would turn yellow. Very helpful visual cue as the beta gave no cue.
  • Your player screen loses color saturation as a new visual indicator (besides the timer) when you go out of bounds.
  • Same sort of visual indicator as the out of bounds screen appears but with blood surrounding it when you’re low on health.
  • Hit boxes were dramatically improved. My bullets didn’t magically go through enemies’ torsos.
  • When running as the assault/medic class, the visual indicator of an incapacitated teammate is more prominent with a circle surrounding the defrib symbol now.
  • Jet stick controls on console are similar to BF1943 on console. If you don’t prefer those controls, they are completely customizable. Also, when your jet is low on health, it becomes a little more difficult to control until it is completely incapacitated and falls from the sky. Y (or triangle) switches between your heat-seeking missiles and your cannon. R-bumper (or R1) deploys smoke.
  • Flying choppers felt almost exactly like BFBC2. Was able to fly right away.
  • Changing views in the vehicles has been moved back to the R-stick much like BFBC1 unlike up on the D-pad on BFBC2.
  • Parachutes take little longer to deploy than BFBC2, and while in the air they are a little harder to control to your destination.
  • Death animations look more realistic. No more funky physics where their body flies 30 feet across the screen after being killed. Player’s eyes are closed when they die.
  • Knifing animation looks a lot better, especially when knifing someone on the ground.
  • Frostbite 2 was in full effect in terms of destruction. Buildings were tumbling down, everything was being destroyed around me in most every map I played.
  • The amount of damage it takes to kill an enemy on regular mode seems a little less than the beta.
  • I was able to equip the knife on the PS3 build. Not sure about the Xbox 360.
 
Great news!

I love how people were cancelling their pre-orders because of the Beta.

It's a f*cking Beta! A ten-month old build!
 
Can't wait, once again.

I'm actually considering holding back on Batman, Assassin's Creed and whatever else is out soon just to concentrate on this. I can get those at Christmas, I guess. However, I am thinking about making Saints Row the Third a day one purchase. Will wait on reviews but it just looks f*cking insane, which is great.
 
Still s**t. Although I'm gonna try it on the PC and see if it's any better than the piece of w**k it is on 360, beta or no beta.
 
People were canceling because you can't have a squad made up of your own friends. You have to play in random squads sometimes on different teams.
 
Lol i know how its supposed to work. It just doesn't, you make a party of four join game everyone is in a different squad and some people on the opposite team. It's a main talking point on battlelog and apparently EA aren't going to fix it.
