    If you quit the game and go into the Playstation Store and then go to the NEW THIS WEEK section it should be there.

    Nice one, thanks for that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    Okay, I already love AK. Some dudes tried to roadkill me with a Quad and I headshot them both off and robbed their ride. :)

    I've got some gameplay recorded from Alborz Mountain which is rendering out now and I'll throw a link in here when it's up.

    The map is big, it'll be epic for you PC guys...I really do envy you right now. Damavand Peak is literally one of the many mountains on this map to give a concept of scale.

    The Tank Destroyer is fun, although it's Javelin bait on most servers right now until you unlock the IR smoke. The gun on it is NOT just a cannon from an Abrams or T9, it's a very different beast with it's own drop, velocity and profile...took me a few shots to get used to it.

    Loving it so far myself :) , one thing , spawns need quads' nothing against peeps standign at the spawn waiting for tanks as no way would ya run to the flag , also grouping together is a good tactic v javelin as it just jumps lock between them. Also who is Johnny _Addidas or soemthing ? .boardsie?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭johnny_adidas


    yep thats me :) back at work now. had to try out the AC130 before i left so quit out of our game. Tank Superiority is good fun although losing your tank on the objective and trying to take out tanks with rpgs isnt :)

    Shot twice while trying to jihad a quad so it certainly wont be as easy as with jeeps.

    dont know if i was spawning in the wrong seat or what but only had use of the guns and not the AA in the gunship
    Its v easy to be brought down if there are good pilots against you. It certainly is a sight on fire for ages before it does explode. A few players taking aim with IGLAs will certainly bring it down in no time.
    Managed to shoot it myself with the tank destroyer pitched up on a bank.
    Have to sit through the evening in work now and wait til all are in bed before i can get it a good whirl tonight

    Soby, you're dead right about the spawning in TS. Cant see me playing it too much going forward once the novelty wears off. Id say they left them out just as its tank only and people would just use the quads offensively


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    I agree with Jonny...probably going so far as to say the AC-130 will be a massive disappointment to most people.

    It does have an AA gun, but its only on the top of the Gunship. I brought down 3 in one game just by flying at them from beneath the plane and strafing it with my Flanker a couple of times.

    To echo thoughts on Tank Superiority, I can only see myself playing this when I have at least a squad, if not a full team, of my buddies on. Too many people jumping into a vehicle and driving off solo, then the rest of the team has a 500-600 hike to the one base only to get shot on the way there by a tank or destroyer.

    That said, it is fun, me and some random dude jumped in a Tank Destroyer and worked the flanks of the map, jumping out to rep when we needed to and we did wreck some kids.

    Okay, so here is the Alborz Mountain vid including my sweet ass double headshot/quad theft at the start.

    I remember that happening when Close Quarters was released. Wasn't able to get in either

    Only played two maps so far, both on Rush. Bandar Desert and Death Valley. Absolutely love the former. Stunningly beautiful map and I can only imagine how good it would be on PC with 64 player playing CQ.

    Death Valley isn't bad. But I think that it'll take some getting used to, especially in Rush which is the game I prefer most due to numbers on the console.

    Turning into an odd auld day. My video got tweeted out by some of the bigger BF3 Youtubers and one of the Machinima guys wanted to use it for his commentary, so I've been playing a lot less that I thought and answering a lot of questions on YT and watching my subs and views go up.:D
