Are the bikes fun to ride around? What you playing on? Xbox//PS3//PC?

 

Only PS3 has access at this point. PC/Xbox will get access next Tuesday.

I got the 1911 S-Tac. Only used it for like 3 minutes so far, but needless to say it's heaven in a handgun. Getting it was painful (mostly the stupid fatal drop portion). Totally worth it.

What is everyone favourite maps so far on Battlefield?

 

For Conquest:

Caspian Border

Firestorm

Kharg Island

Karkand

Markaz Monolith

 

For Rush:

Damvand Peak

Kharg Island

Sharqi Peninsula

Azadi Palace

Alborz Mountains

Lately I haven't been able to play, but I may today. I hate playing alone though :(

My favorite map? depends what I'm in the mood for honestly. I had like a 6 month period where I was all about Gulf of Oman.

 

Fave vehicle conquest:

Armored Shield

 

Fave infantry CQ:

Sienne Crossing (yes I'm aware it has a couple of tanks, deal with it)

 

Fave Rush:

Damavand Peak/ Strike At Karkand

 

Fave TDM:

Noshar Canals

 

Fave TDMC:

Operation 925

 

Fave Dom:

Scrapyard

 

Fave GM:

Ziba Tower

 

and that's about all I play

 

I haven't honestly played too much of Aftermath, but I really did enjoy CQ on all of those maps.

 

Jury is still out on fave CTF map, but I really like the one with the river and ramps that jump over it (the one without the railroad)

Noshahr Canals and Oman for the winn

Endgame is great on PC, love all the maps. All of them are different and well set out. CTF is very fun, so fast paced and those bike situations actually happen alot. All the rush maps on it are good, especially the Riverside one. Probably enjoying it the most so far, but only played for a couple of hours.

I think I need a bigger xbox hard drive lol. I may go buy a 1200gb or something so I can stop moving things between my two 20gb hard drives :facepalm:

Is premium worth it? If I don't get origin banned for doing a chargeback on sim city 5 I might pick it up. Right now I only have B2K, and it's getting hard to find good servers.

Wait a few more weeks. Premium is losing a lot of it's benefits once End Game is released to everyone in about a week. You should start seeing the price drop.

Depends how much you like Battlefield 3. If you are going to play it quite regularly then definitely as most of the servers have the DLCs in their rotation. I think that Aftermath, End Game and Armoured Kill (albeit the AC130 kind of ruins it but it has been nerfed alot) are good DLCs and worth the money.

 

But there arent that many servers anymore.

Just buy premium when the price drops a bit, you won't regret it.

Well what happens now that the last map pack has released? The good servers will be even more hard to find when people play less lol.

AC130 was UNDER powered on Xbox, or at least I thought. Haven't played with any AC-130 maps since the nerf, so IDK.

I'd only buy it again (already have it for xbox, might get it for PC) if it were like $10.

Hmm they were definitely way too overpowered and kind of still are, i would prefer it if they just removed it at least for rush. They have a cannon which 1 hit kills/disables and another cannon which is pretty much the same power of a chopper gunner with 2 anti air guns also it takes a few hits to take down.

You're kidding me right?

Do you understand what cannons are ON the AC-130?

For one, they have a HOWITZER. YES, A HOWITZER.

Don't tell me that you SHOULDN'T get insta-killed by that; it's pure, raw carnage.

It's a 25mm, M197 (model of the howitzer) super explosive autocannon. (If you hold down the trigger, it'll keep shooting as it's loaded.)

 

The AC-130 also uses a modified version of this:

Now tell me what's OVER POWERED please.

 

This could have been WAY worse. The AC-130 should have had MORE power based on what it could shoot.

Someone doesn't understand that realism =/= balance.

I dont think you understand what i was questioning, it wasnt the realism of the AC130 but how it was completely OP in the game for rush. I just think they never should have included it.

Came here to ask if the premium thing is worth it as I've just started playing again but someone beat me to it. Guess I'll hold on for another few weeks.

Played very well tonight, despite it being my first time in over a year. Might look for some kind of regular squad to play with as playing with randoms and having a 2/4 squad full match sucks.

Someone doesn't understand that realism =/= balance.

 

The AC-130 was overpowered.

So, lets just compare this to real life;

If there's an enemy unit attempting to infiltrate an area to eliminate or snatch some intel and their adversaries call in an AC-130, you think they're going to call that unfair? Sucks to be outgunned. D:

What system do you play on?

Let me just stop you right there

Isn't the idea of a game based on technology from today meant to be realistic?

you're joking right

From what I can tell, most if not all of them are?

 

Oh and I'm having some trouble with finally playing online, on PC

 

If any other Master Race gamers are on, help me out.

 

When I try to play, I get this error message;

Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Notaplaugerist' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA[Caution: Executable File]

It's a casual shooter aimed at casual players, not a simulator. The aim is balance, not realism.

 

Make sure PB isn't being blocked by firewall or antivirus. Could also try manually installing PB.

I figured it out

Cruddy EA! They didn't give me everything when I installed it! :facepalm:

 

Origin is a fail, as is EA.

 

Friend and I were trying to figure it out over skype, then realized I was missing GAME FILES from the download. So he uploaded them to skype and I downloaded and copy pasted to fix my problem :)
