Ha! That's awesome!

Instant install then!

So glad I bought a 250gb Slim now with all this extra content.

Yup. That will definitely be an instant install.

Nice EA. Nice.

AK · Oct 13, 2011

Well played.

Spiezels · Oct 13, 2011

Do like that!

How many Gb's do we think? Mines still and original HD from release so it's tiny.

GeordieClioDriver · Oct 13, 2011

EA just love finding ways to kill call of duty off, this gesture by them is another nail in the coffin for activision IMO! They wouldn't give anything like that!

Just over 2 weeks to go and i can't wait now!

Scutch · Oct 13, 2011

Hmm, "Appearance" option at the bottom.

That be new.

GeordieClioDriver · Oct 13, 2011

Yup, although it did say Camo's were available at certain ranks so im guessing thats what it is!

Scutch · Oct 13, 2011

Ahh, ok.

Well a disc is 4.2GB capacity is it not? So I don't see it being bigger than that. Trouble is, it may well be compressed a lot. I think some were claiming HD textures for Rage were 15GB worth.

Spiezels · Oct 13, 2011

s**t!

I'll have a clear out of my HD then. Tbf this is all I'll be playing.

Christopher · Oct 13, 2011

I can't see it being more than a 2-3GB install TBH.

I'll install both discs regardless. Quieter innit.

I thought that but now I'm contemplating Batman given it's apparently the greatest game ever.

Cannot wait for BF3 though.

It'll be excellent considering the amount of guys here who are also getting it.

F*ck you, sniper Yanks. F*ck you.

Indeed, especially with it running so silent and putting less strain on the comp itself. Forza was a simple install.

Scutch · Oct 13, 2011

M$ aren't as prone to hacks as $ony at the moment. Another hack yesterday wiped out a few folk.

I've just got my eyes on this and forza for now so I'll just nail this for ages then have a blast on F4.

I know, Proper CS team, we'll lead the way!

EOD bot lol's are going to be had.

Scutch · Oct 13, 2011

I think it's quicker to up-rank on BF3, too. There's a whole load of s**t to unlock, but the rank set has been raised from 50 to 150, IIRC.

I think I was only level 36 on BC2. But I didn't fly the choppers at all and still haven't really started on Medic class

Spiezels · Oct 13, 2011

That's cool, from about 25 you'd unlocked everything on BC:2.

I had a blast on BC:2 again t'other day, straight in the chopper got about 6 ace pins in a row. Helps when you have a good gunner though.

Think my engineer class is well ahead, recons not far behind though.

I'm only lvl 42 or something now and I've done about 240 hours ffsnake! f**k getting to 50.

In giddy about the jets!!

Lay off the crack pipe pablo.

Lol I'd have needed some glassware to keep playing it-just felt clumsy/wooden. I'll give it another go tonight. The heli flight dynamics were terrible too-don't understand why they had to dumb it down so much. You'd have to be a bit of a simpleton not to be able to fly in the previous format (i even used a 360 pad) :dead:

Scutch, you done much fliying in the beta-what are the jets/helis like? Looking like the heli's won't be equipped with tv missiles for bf3 either. Piss poor decision imho

.Adam. · Oct 13, 2011

Think I'll be getting this and bumping off COD for the first time in a fair few years.

Played MW2 the other day and it's a crock of s**t tbh.

I'm on poverty spec (XB360) so didn't get to try out the jets, sadly.

Besides, I'm more an infintry and ground guy (with the tanks if anything) so will leave the flying sh*t to Spiezels while I man the guns.

Scutch · Oct 13, 2011

Multiplayer maps?

Oh, ok.

They look absolutely awesome.

Damavand Peak looks interesting:

Damavand Peak, internally known as Base Jump, is built on the idea that we want players to be able to base jump, and features our most extreme height differences ever in a Battlefield map. Attackers in Rush and Squad Rush will start high up on a mountain ridge above a mining facility. The only way down into the valley is to somehow make the 500 meter descent.

Spiezels · Oct 14, 2011

The size of 3 atacamas!!!?

Holy s**t!

BioHzrd · Oct 14, 2011

Need to get a list of PC users for this set up !!

im looking forward to jets more than anything tbh! I loved them in bf2 and had fun bailing out over spawns and dropping mines into them!

Scutch · Oct 14, 2011

How bloody frustrating was he to watch!?

Terrible!

Use single shot ffs!

Looks sweet though.

LOL. My mate at work said the same. He was f*cking awful. Right next to the enemy and firing like a mad man into the air.

Got a decent double kill with the grenade in the alley tunnel, mind.

It looks awesome, all the same.

Scutch · Oct 14, 2011

I still remember that first time we both played on multiplayer together. White Pass map, you in a house and I joined your game. You turned around and we both started jumping up and down in the attic and I got shot in the head by a sniper. LOL.

Memories.

Spiezels · Oct 14, 2011

Haha I remember that!!

Brilliant! Was I able to pick you up or did I just jump/run/fall down the stairs?

Scutch · Oct 14, 2011

You ran like f*ck, TBH. You were playing a sniper.

Spiezels · Oct 14, 2011

Haha!

"f**k THIS s**t, CYA!!"

Scutch · Oct 14, 2011

Was it you on the Nelson Bay map I was with in that porta-cabin and I got killed with the rocket launcher and you saw it happening right in front of your face? I think you sent me a message via XBL saying it looked funny as f*ck.

:dapprove:

Spiezels · Oct 14, 2011

Yeah. On the 2nd set of MCOMs.

We were doing the usual 'stand really close to each other and jump up and down, crouch'. Some fucker obviously saw us and fired an RPG at the wall, you flew to the other side of the cabin via the f**king ceiling and I survived to witness it.

Once again I got the f**king s**t outta there.

Haha!

Spiezels · Oct 14, 2011

300% ran off like this.

Scutch · Oct 14, 2011

LOL yeah that was it. Hahaha!

I remember me and AK fighting each other with the knife as it does no damage to team mates on HC mode. We were at it for about 2 minutes non stop and this guy on the opposing team actually stopped to watch for a bit before unloading and killing us both. PMSL.

That was us trying to get that En Brute Achievement (killing 5 friends with the knife). Got to be on opposing teams. What a deuce.

EDIT : LMFAO @ the pic.

Spiezels · Oct 14, 2011

Haha! Love that s**t!

I was lucky enough to have a mate who went on the other team so we both met up in the jungle for a stabbing party.
