[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Darren S]

If they can get that Armoured Kill map running smoothly, cleanly and with a decent draw distance on the 360 - I will be totally in awe of the devs!

D.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

You don't reckon you can fly it lol?!

I reckon it will be something like the Air raid that was available in 1943.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

The AC130 has one gunner and one person looking out for enemy jets and using flares when locked onto! The gunner may be able to control the direction though.

 

[Spiezels]

I hated that at first but then loved it. Shooting at a Little Bird with a machine gun and having to resort to a pistol due to ammo restrictions and finally connecting with the pilot with my last bullet as he was trying to smash into my head on a grass bank. Then seeing the chopper come to its knees several inches infront of my feet was unbelievably satisfying.

Loved that game.

Was great!

Loved Nam.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Right, almost finished the assignments just need to win three games of Conquest domination but that may take a while cause i hate it! Too much like COD!

The M5K is awesome! went 30-2 on metro just "sniping" with it lol (they never got the first two bases)

Also... the ACW-R is the best gun in the game now bar none! Bloody lethal and accurate too.. no doubt that will be nerfd in the next patch!

 

[Fergie127]

What does everyone think to Gunmaster?

Admittedly, I find it too much like COD. But me and a group of friends had a good laugh on it last night.

Love Ziba Tower. Can't say much about the other maps.

 

[Spiezels]

What's gun master?

 

[James28]

Where you all start with the same guns and each time you get two kills (I think) you move up a gun.
Similar to gungame on Counterstrike:Source and COD:Blops

 

[Fergie127]

Same same as Gun Game.

Two kills to move up to the next weapon. Game ends when someone knife kills another player.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Oh really? Didn't know that. I still think its spoilt the fun really, being able to just buy every unlock. Fair enough for those who have ranked up and just want to buy the tedious upgrades/weapons etc. But people totally new to the game buying every single unlock is just annoying lol.

I disagree, it's not like you can buy an 'I win' button. That's the great thing about BF is that you get some of the best weapons by default.

 

[Rhino172]

It is down to the player realy. Personlly I don't see the point in buying the extra bits early as part of the fun of the game is earning them myself. You don't buy a game and then pay someone else to play it and complete it for you, where's the fun in that?

Anyway, so whats all this premium business about? If I want the new maps I have to pay £40 odd?

 

[Spiezels]

Still got a pikey HD so can't do the update!

No playing for me ffs.

 

[ChrisR]

I'm not a fan of and wouldn't pay for unlocks, chasing them is more than half the fun in these games for me so like trying to get them all.

By that I mean unlocking the weapons etc themselves rather than going through every gun to get every upgrade.

 

[dave_rudabar]

BUt if you're rubbish at it like me, it takes forever!

That's what I like about it, plus you get using more guns instead of being stuck with the same setup.

Well I can't talk, I've got 2500 kills with the DAO12, LOL.

 

[ChrisR]

BUt if you're rubbish at it like me, it takes forever!

I'm not exactly any good but it's fun Should have my M98 sniper soon, only 8k more points to go as Recon.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

I'm actually quite pleased to say I unlocked everything the "proper" way, I enjoy that part of the game tbh! New map pack came out.. all i was fussed about was the assignments and unlocking the extra weapons/trophies!

Must say the JNG sniper rifle is awesome, I rarely get hit markers with it just kills!Also the spas 12 is good fun!

 

[Ray Gin]

On today geordie?

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Dunno mate. might pop on for a few hours now, off to Newcastle tonight for the Olympic torch events. Bear Grylls abseiling off the tyne bridge should be canny to watch!

 

[Ray Gin]

I've been promoted 3 times today, gotta love double XP!

Almost on 3,100 kills with the DAO-12, love it.

[Scutch]

Yeah noticed it was Double XP weekend yesterday after I bought the Premium pack, but I didn't get a chance to go on.

Am I right in thinking the new map pack (Close Quarters) and several game modes are already included with the Premium as of now, even on consoles?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Yeah CC is there with premium and also Gun game I think, is included, plus new assignments and guns.

 

[Scutch]

Yeah I think I got killed by a new gun a few days ago on Grand Bazaar. JN20 or something.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

JNG 90 - beast of a sniper rifle!

 

[imprezaworks]

Been shot by that a few times, pain in the ass gun. Is it the best though?

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

I have more success with it than the m98B and it sounds awesome!

 

[Scott™]

Been having some mental CONQUEST 500% ticket matches on Metro. Each game lasting over an 1hr.

Would be good to get some Cliosport action going. It's been a while (Xbox).

 

[Scutch]

Agreed. A dedicated CS rented server would be so good.

Oh 360 of course, not PovertySpec3. For reference I have a PS3, too. It's good for movies, media and Uncharted.

 

[Ray Gin]

I shall rise above it. Lol.

Went premium last night..... only tried out one of the new maps, operation 925...wow what a mental map! I finished first in the tdm and it still annoyed me! Lol definitely a shotgun map.

LOL

 

[AK]

Scutch, you got the new maps yet?

 

[Spiezels]

Are they all available now?

Gutted I still have a w**k HD.

This updates gonna cost me.

 

[AK]

Close Quarters is oot I think.

 

[Scutch]

Scutch, you got the new maps yet?

I have Premium, so I'm assuming so mate. Just haven't been on since last week. But now Max Payne is out of the way, nothing stopping me. Apart from the Insanity Workouts I'm doing every f*cking night. That guy is relentless.

 

[AK]

LOL how's that going for you? How far in are you?

 

[Scutch]

Week 3 Day 3. Literally sweating like a rapist. Which is always good.

Month 2 is double the insane too. Look forward to that /sarcasm.

 

[Scott™]

I've played one of the close quarters map. Its an office block. You start in the underground car park and the battle is fought on 4 different levels. Pretty much everything can be destroyed. Epic.

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah that's operation 925 (I think?). Mental map. I only played TDM on it though, not sure if you can play any other game modes? Can't see Rush being an option.

 

[Scott™]

Agreed. A dedicated CS rented server would be so good.

Oh 360 of course, not PovertySpec3. For reference I have a PS3, too. It's good for movies, media and Uncharted.

This would also be epic. Any idea how much a server costs?? We could have a little fund and rent one.

 

[Ray Gin]

£20 a month.
