[SUBZERO-08]

So I have to download the Karakand stuff even if I dont own it? Seems kind of wasteful on their part.

Yeah. They said they're going to make it an optional download for future DLC though.

[WhatRobEats]

The FAMAS seems like a great gun but fuck those iron sights suck. Earlier today I finally got 10 kills and got the ACOG hopefully it's a little easier to aim now.

[Anton Sugar]

I think this was posted already--custom FXAA for BF3. Does anyone use this?

[Herpes Reasons]

ewww. jaggies. no thx.

[subversus]

1)Strike at Karkand
2)Gulf of Oman
3)Sharqui Peninsula
4)Wake Island

[Kylehimself]

I know I keep bitching about it. But how fucking angry I get playing SQDM is unreal. It's not fun, me and my friends never win. It's boring, I don't like it, fuck off with these crap unlocks.

[Mr Sandman]

If they do 2143 next that means we won't get to bring the weapons back to the main game... I'm still hoping for a Spec ops expansion with snow maps, snow mobiles, night maps with night vision and spot lights, grapple hooks and shit. But if they do 2143 I hope it's more than just 4 maps, a few vehicles and ten weapons. Give it the expansion it deserves!

It is terrible and the single BMP-2 randomly thrown on the map just makes it worse.

The only thing it is good for is the L85 and showing how bad the infantry combat is. The across the map FAMAS sprays and instant 100% to 0% PP-19 (a 6 hit kill) deaths really stand out when kills matter.

[SomeOneInaHat]

So everybody, what is your weirdest starting spawn? I sure know mine.

Im still having way more fun with B2K than I am the rest of BF3. Not sure if I'll even be able to go back to the old maps.

[MuseManMike]

1)Strike at Karkand 2)Gulf of Oman 3)Sharqui Peninsula 4)Wake Island

I'd have to agree here. On certain days, I'd say the first three can be interchangeable, but Wake is definitely last -- unless I'm in the Tunguska -- of course.

[GrizzNKev]

Played for the first time in the post-B2K world today. Amazing. The game seems so much more fun now for some reason. I guess it's the tweaks in the latest patch?

[Enkidu]

I don't know if this has been discussed before but did they flip Wake Island around? It seems that the South Base is to the north of the North Base.

[The Faceless Master]

So apparently, the physical warfare pack that was up on the marketplace on the karkand release date was a mistake. It was taken off later in the day. Glad I nabbed my download.

a mistake? they put it on the PSN too. one helluva mistake there!

... unless it was a week early ...

random tank is the key to winning!

Just had a fun game with corky/kyaw (and rapstah on the other team) Ace Squad Hoo-ah! also was a 25k round for me

I love Strike at Karkand, the urban warfare around A B and C is just great. Sometimes I enjoy just head-to-head firefights without choppers and shit flying around.

[Kyaw]

Is Karkand supposed to be a hectic infantry map?

It felt a lot like Grand Bazaar to me. At least there's quite a lot of flanking routes.
Had really great matches today.

[&Divius]

Is Karkand supposed to be a hectic infantry map?

I think so! + we were also playing on a 64 man server which can easily get hectic.

The fact that you've got these main roads but also a lot of back-alleys and buildings to go in is perfect for flanking. The only comparison to bazaar would be that it's a urban kind of map, but I don't see much similarities, especially since bazaar is a lot smaller and doesn't have as much flanking routes.

(also; I also apologize for all my rage in chat; I don't like it when things aren't going my way :p)

[Shuusui]

Just ordered the game.

Anyone want to link me to some videos that'll get me hyped? Most of the one's I've found are exploits.. Hoping I can use my C4 like I did in BFBC2!

[Cobra84]

That is why I don't like it. I should be allowed to play assault in at least one game mode.

[subversus]

I love destruction on the new maps. I wonder why they didn't implement it in the main game.

Oh, don't worry, me and Corky were having a bad day yesterday, but today was much better.

It really gets on my nerves when you are doing the best you can but your team just fails at defending/attacking flags.

Yup! Destruction really is on a whole new level with these maps.
Give us more map packs, DICE!

[Kylehimself]

Praise be to what ever deity you please. 5 wins on SQDM. It was tough, it wasn't fun, I will only ever play once more to help my friend unlock the gun. Goodbye SQDM, you wont be missed.

[PoweredBySoy]

Is there a site that breaks down all the dog tags and their requirements?

[ColonelSkills]

I am shocked just how badly they managed to fuck up Wake Island. I don't even know how that's possible. One of my all time favorite maps is now shittified beyond belief. I don't know if it's the flag count, the US side spawn mechanic, how they handle assault conquest in this game, or some combination there of.

But fuck me sideways.

[The Faceless Master]

OH NOES! 0.06 SECONDS DIFFERENCE. Oh, wait, what was your point with this again?

Um, whatever point you were trying to make with this post:

You funny guy, I kill you with P90 first before your M416 can get the drop on me.

When you're dealing with latency and internet connections, that 0.06 seconds, as insignificant as it may seem, makes a difference.

[TheSeks]

Except Client Side hit detection says "sup," and "no it doesn't."

Frankly, the PDW have far better agility/flanking mobility than the other guns. People can run rings around the other guns with them. Fact.

[PoweredBySoy]

These new maps give you absolutely no incentive to play anything other than engineer. Tanks and choppers everywhere, there's hardly any cover from them, and to cap a point you need to basically stick your dick right on the flagpole.

Unimpressed.

[Kylehimself]

Right, can somebody confirm or deny this before I convince myself I'm going mad. But I'm almost certain I've played (on 360) Strike at Karkand with both 3 or 5 flags. If this is correct, why is this?

People complaining about squad dm for the unlock really should read the bf3 thread sometime.

When they don't they miss things like this:

Last time I'm posting it. People who can't read will have to get the unlock the hard way. :)

That's grand and all. But when you're not playing PC, what good is that? I will however be jumping on to that to get my unlock for PC as I don't want to relive the SQDM horror that was 360. Cheers.

As shitty as SQDM can be, this seems really unnecessary. I got my unlock in 5/8 rounds. Just switch teams if your squad sucks. That's all there is to it.

[jwhit28]

Is there a fix for the mumble overlay not showing up in DX11 games or are we screwed until the next version of mumble?

Thanks for the tip! I just got my five wins in like 15min! Was actualy kinda fun too lol. I just wish the server wouldn't wait 45sec between each round. A bit unnessary in that particular case.

[SCHUEY F1]

Just started the single player and my squad won't move forward in Op. Swordbreaker. Plus I have lost connection to the EA server twice. Not impressed.

edit: Fixed. I had to start the level over instead of just resume for some reason.

Sounds like normal BF3 to me. If you aren't an engineer or a support with C4, you can't trust you teammates to take care of it and there are no fixed launchers or machine guns to take care of it yourself. Even if you get a few good hits with a jeep mounted machine gun on helicopter, it is easily auto repaired.

Right, can somebody confirm or deny this before I convince myself I'm going mad. But I'm almost certain I've played (on 360) Strike at Karkand with both 3 or 5 flags. If this is correct, why is this?

There are 3 versions of Sharqi, Karkand and Oman Conquest maps. 3 flag small, 5 flag medium (console only), and 7 flag large (PC only).

[TheSeks]

Spamming rockets for the engineer last gun unlock. 1 more kill. SMH. >_<

Thanks for this. Just got my 5 wins, won the first 4 after I joined the server and it took me like 10 more games to get the last win lol.

[TheSeks]

Finally, such a stupid requirement. All the B2K guns unlocked. But the QBZ seems pretty shitty. :/

[WhatRobEats]

For being shitty I get killed with it all the time. Seriously every other death is from that gun or a vehicle. I haven't unlocked it myself to form an opinion one way or the other though.

I thought this was the PC BF3 thread. If you're not playing on PC squad dm isn't your biggest problem.

[SapientWolf]

Seems like it's a performance hog. I went from 100+ fps to 40-60.

[TheSeks]

Well, that was awesome. Pulled off a double-headshot in Operation Metro with the LV98. Too bad we still lost that round because the enemy was in that part of the tunnel I was trying to thin/scare them back but they kept coming. :/
