FishyFish Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Oh lordy, 40 seconds in I thought I was looking at that highrise level from MW2. Wait till we see the next clip with the levels set in an airport terminal and quarry... It looks fun, but that appears on first glance to be deathmatch gameplay - no sign of M-Coms or Flags - so it'll be interesting to see how it works with a focussed team objective. It does look remarkably similar to Highrise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myoozikk Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Got a Rainbow 6 Vegas vibe to it i thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapa Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If they are going to reduce the number of players for the new maps then that must mean they will be completely separated from the normal playlist, not integrated like Karkand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerraig UK Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Not on console as the limit there is 16 anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigg Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If they are going to reduce the number of players for the new maps then that must mean they will be completely separated from the normal playlist, not integrated like Karkand Yeah, this really worries me. Vietnam totally spoiled BC2 like I said earlier because it was on a different rotation. Not to mention 16 players is/will be shit. It's one of the benefits of the PC version and for them to reduce that leave a lot of people unhappy I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyFish Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Not on console as the limit there is 16 anyway It's 24 players on console - up to 12 on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossSaru Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 One of my favourite bits on BF3 is the fighhting in the stairwells of the TV tower on that Karkand map. More of this is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerraig UK Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 oh yeah so it is. durrr sounds like they're gonna be very small maps then. Eek that is a bit of a worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRumsfeld Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It's sounding a bit to much like COD to me as well I'll reserve judgment but June is far to far off. How about giving us White Pass and Harvest to tide us over DICE (please....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerraig UK Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Please no more old maps. Give me something new. Ive played both of those a thousand times each (i'm playing Harvest Day now as I speak) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straps Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well lower player count just sounds shit to me. And I honestly would be happy if the DLC just fixed whatever the fuck it is they've done since BC2 that means we have to find a full server every other round. It takes the piss how rarely we get to stay on a server for more than a couple of maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerraig UK Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I really like the idea of some tight skirmish maps, just worried that they'll be tiny, lazy thrown together maps to placate the baying mob. A no vehicle map needs much less playtesting and design time. If they are tight and focused and well designed like some counter strike maps then i'll be made up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main concern is that smaller, tight maps will be riddled with RPGs, Noobtubes, grenades and USAS blasting. Like, constantly. I like the idea of infantry maps, I just hope there's scope for tactics and not fast paced mindless firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchugh Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Surely the player number thing is a mistake? Otherwise you'd have to specifically choose to just play just the 4 new maps in a rotation which would be tedious to say the least!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If they are gonna do old maps, i'd like to see Mashtuur City, it was great. Maybe Jalabad but some new ones might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerraig UK Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Despite what people here think, you really don't need to speak at all in this game to get good teamwork going. The UI is incredibly well designed to share all necessary information without voice. I'd say in general people are fairly smart and team savvy on this. Certainly light years ahead of the MW crowd. My only real bugbears are the Amtrak drivers who don't know how to use it, and support guys who never give out ammo. You always see stupid stuff, but for every idiot there's usually somebody else doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, fucking support guys. I can usually get a health pack out of medics, but I reckon most supports forget they even have ammo packs. There ought to be a clearer indicator on the recipient's screen when someone asks for ammo (or health, or a vehicle pickup). I often hear the "hey, I need a ride!" call out, but have no idea where it came from. In BC2 the player would get a big flashing arrow over them.

Trigg Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It flashes on the mini map if someone asks for something doesn't it? I agree though it needs to be more noticeable, I fucking hate try to chase down tanks and stuff for a ride. Especially if I don't get there in time and I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsdio Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No-one seems to really be playing on PS3 unfortunately, I added a few people a good while ago and I've never seen one of them playing! Feel free to add me (BadForTheGlass) and my non-rllmuk mate (KKNNTTHH). We both play a fair bit, him more than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It flashes on the mini map if someone asks for something doesn't it? Does it? That's of limited use in the choppers, though, because the mini-map range is pretty short. On a side-note, I've got into the habit of recently of flicking into the menu to see the larger map so I can see where lit-up enemies are. There's often quite a lot going on just beyond the range of the mini-map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapa Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm sure I've asked this on here before but can't remember the answer... I need some tips on getting the 2 kills with emplaced weapons ribbon. What map and game mode is best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straps Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Any conquest map with a few air vehicles and an anti-air gun. Gulf of Oman in the Russian spawn is probably best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What map and game mode is best? I got it on operation firestorm, up the dock end. You might not always get aircraft coming close enough there, but sometimes you can take down troops around the nearest capture point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What map and game mode is best? I'd try Kharg Island Rush - Offence. The massive gun on the boat can catch any spawn killing jets easily enough. You can also shoot on to the beach and maybe grab a couple of kills. Another map is Tehran Highway Rush - Defence. After the first two nodes you head down the hill and there are two Stationary AT Rocket Launchers you could try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The ATGM's definitely count, aye dude (they're at least noted as an emplaced weapon on the BF3 Wiki). Catch a tank from behind and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
