Battlefield 3: Armoured Kill

johnny_adidas

I actually hate this set of maps,

Rush is pointless.

Conquest doesn't have enough vehicles for such large expanses for 24 players, esp when you can't even spawn into passenger seats or on other squad members. The bigger maps badly need points e and a as the spawn points with 3 points in between.

I will only be using original maps from here on out, guess it goes to show how good caspien is.
I badly miss the classic bad company maps now too, something I hadn't even thought about up to now to be honest

Zomg Okay

You're spoiling for a fight to see who has the bigger e-penis, yet we are the ones lacking intelligence? :rolleyes:

Man, everywhere I go on the internet I see this PC Vs Console bollix, boards.ie is the ONE place I post that it doesn't happen.

If you want this kind of **** then take it to Youtube comments and reddit, we don't need the retard parade walking through here.

CQ is for consoles due to small maps and small playercount.

AK is for PC with large maps and large playercount. Seemingly its not **** on PC......

Didnt think i had to explain that, honestly didnt. But there yah go.

In fairness your making a statement that is apparently obvious when its not even released on PC yet. I agree though 1 downfall to console AK is its only 24 players. I think if it was full 12 on 12 tanks then it would be a bit better. Hopefully they tweak it based on feedback and use this early access as a "beta", the day that happens Kells will be modding COD

Apparently the cool new incendiary smoke defence for mobile artillery kills the driver not the enemy :mad:

Even if there is some waiting involved for a tank after respawning, and occasionally a tad quiet at times as well. Tank Superiority has been fun for the most part.

One or two guys running SOFLAM (as well as using mobile spawn to people ie: engineers quickly back into the action) /in the third seat of a tank, and it's game over handily enough.

One thing that has really surprised me, the Team Deathmatch maps are excellent. A lot of fun to play on, quite tactical.

Akrasia

Thanks for that. It's nice to see some positive comment about the AK release prior to Xbox release.

I'll probably start out with a few games of TDM to try and get a decent first impression of the game before the inevitable disappointment of the other modes...

Just avoid Rush really

hypermuse

Is there any demo for the premium DLC or way to try before you buy?

Was convinced I was gonna get it once rich enough but some stories make me think otherwise!

Overall a worthwhile investment?

Not unless they've a free weekend planned.

This is my take on the Armoured Shield map and it's place for console players.

TLDW : It's ****ing poop.

Well, Rush sounds sh|te. Map size sounds... alright. It sounds maybe as big as Gazala was in BF42. Hopefully it'll be bigger (although it took me 5 to 10 minuted to walk to the secret airfield when i was shot down in Gazala).

Serious question; could the consoles handle more vehicles? Thinking that large map, AC130, and Dice put in the max amount of vehicles that the consoles could handle? The consoles can only be optimized so much.

They don't have to optimize it for the PC to the same degree; they'll just increase the specs, and tell us to get a better machine :pac: So there's a chance that the PC version may have more vehicles.

In the BF3 beta, I jumped onto a 256man Caspian Border map. Pure mental, but most of the PC servers could (barely) handle it, so I'd wonder what this new "big map" can handle?

johnny_adidas

I dont know if its at full capacity in TS but they need to do something or else players need to start being a bit more clued in while playing (which def wont happen).
I would spawn into TS, quite happy to play as an engineer and repair / spot vehicles and just get left at the spawn by people charging off lone wolf in all the vehicles. Then even if you do manage to jump in for a lift, get into the battle, start repairing, the muppets then charge off into the map further leaving you stranded. never once trying to get near the objective, just shooting (terribly) from the opposite side of the map.
In the end, i would just spawn in with c4 and flank the opposing tanks or get in by the objective. I will only play it now if im with a friend or two cos its just too frustrating.
You also cant spawn into squad vehicles, only when they are outside on foot.

Mightn't be that bad...

:eek:OMG what absolute moron thought that would be a good idea for rush the power of that howitzer round is mental , accurate but mental. that thing will decimate everything

cherryghost

They should just have like a Commander, and the commander can issue a gunship once per round, but at any point they choose so. :P

They're bring out server side tweeks to rebalance this;

Gunship in Rush: Defenders have been having a hard time winning the last week and we are making tweaks to even out the battlefield The Gunship will respawn after 90 seconds instead of 60 seconds in Rush after being destroyed.

Yeah, it another download. The last one was just a patch. As for the GF, if she can launch the program it'll auto update.

danniemcq

And if she finds your porn, she'll delete it all. And even if she doesn't find your porn she could end up wiping system 32 or something crazy like that. I personally wouldn't risk it. I understand living with a technophobic girlfriend. :rolleyes:

I don't know how to feel about the release of armored kill today. Especially seeing as I'm an xbox player. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. But something tells me I should have updated my PC and got Battlefield on it.

Downloading it atm. It's 3.7 gigs so will take a bit on my ****e net

Not enough facepalm pics could convey my feelings reading that. 90 seconds is nowt, let alone the original 60 seconds which goes without saying.

Brian_Zeluz

A whole 30 seconds, wow that's going to make a massive difference!
NOT.

Should be once for each m-com base

3.7!??!?
Ah crap.
No way I have 3.7gb on my xbox hard drive.


Question lads,
If I was to buy a bigger xbox hard drive how would I transfer my profile over to start downloading the new dlc?

... or would I just be better of buying a 8gb usb stick?

ktulu123

It wont be that size on the xbox, dont know what it is on that
