Even after the game is released, they keep putting out epic trailers.

 

[Moaradin]

if i buy the limited addition now, will i get the map pach for free?

Yea, if it's the limited edition.

 

[childplease]

It does look tiny, but if I'm not mistaken DICE said its bigger than previous versions.

Dice says alot of things. Most are never true.

 

[Nostalgia~4ever]

cept they never that they are bigger. Gustav Halling confirmed size is the same.

 

[Ostinatto]

CONQUEST ASSAULT? what is that?

 

[Sub_Level]

Was that a Harrier?

 

[Ramirez]

What is Conquest Assault? I never played BF2.

 

[Kyaw]

Was that a Harrier?

yes

 

[bishoptl]

No Arica Harbor is a sin against God and man alike.

 

[Spl1nter]

Ya the screenshot of wake looks really small but then in the trailer at 28-29 the map looks like its right size.

No Arica Harbor is a sin against God and man alike.

good rush map, bad conquest map.

 

[bloodydrake]

So hyped for this. Wake Island is one of the best multiplayer maps ever.

Thats the Gods honest truth.

It still is mindblowing that Wake Island was the free demo for 1942.. servers were running that demo for what, years? it was that good.

 

[VaLiancY]

I wish I could beach the carrier and cause stupid amounts of performance drops like many moons ago.

It's detailed in the OP. It wasn't there initially so don't feel bad about missing it

I'm fairly certain you can still find servers for the Wake demo.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Bring back naval warfare!

 

[firehawk12]

I'm not so sure, almost all of the vanilla maps are actually the same size on both console and PC. The difference is usually only in the amount of flags.

Oh really? I thought the 64 player versions were bigger?

 

[I H8 Memes]

Integrates with vanilla map rotation

Yes yes yes yes yes.


I didnt even want the old weapons and vehicles, just the old maps. In fact I would prefer to not have the old weapons and vehicles.

 

[Enkidu]

Oh really? I thought the 64 player versions were bigger?

Sadly, no. This means many maps end up feeling really cramped with 64 players because they are so small.

 

[Spl1nter]

Yes yes yes yes yes.

Dont worry, the j-10 isnt one of the old vehicles included in the game. The more weapons the better.

 

[firehawk12]

Gack, oh jeez. No wonder PC players think Metro is a joke.

Ahh good times

Midway but close enough

 

[BoobPhysics101]

These maps look stock BF3 maps look so tame. They're going to be beyond incredible on PC! My hardware is ready.

 

[Zapdos1121]

So will only the people that bought the LE ever be able to get this, or can someone who has the regular edition buy it?

$15, 1200 MS Points without the LE.

That does look super tiny lol.[/QUOTE]


Is that supposed to be the whole island? I think it looks like the chinese base in the foreground and that is giving the illusion that this is the whole map. But where is the airstrip? I think this is actually the left side peninsula (looking at the island from the U.S. Carrier) and not the Chinese airstrip.

 

[RibbedHero]

On second thought Wake Island looks the same size it was in BF2. Here is a picture from a similar angle:

 

[Enkidu]

BTW, I just checked, you can still get a game going in the Wake demo.

[Vilam]

There was literally not a single good map in BC2.

Screw off with this nonsense.

Panama Canal
Atacama Desert
Arica Harbor
Port Valdez

...all great maps. And among the rest they were all at worst "good" maps - not a bad one in the bunch.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Wake Island is one of the best maps ever made. Period.

Not really. Use that chopper to judge the scale, and then consider that part of the island isn't even in the screen. Looks about right to me.

 

[def sim]

I should be able to pull away from MW3 by the time this gets out, so good timing on their part. This all looks so good, hopefully they put in single map servers on console.

Atacama HAHAHA

And every one of those maps sucked on Conquest.

Did you ever play BC1?

 

[bloodydrake]

See that's just so awesome

 

[Vilam]

Oh, you're one of those people. There's nothing wrong with Rush, plenty of fun to be had in both modes. Panama was fantastic for Conquest, and Atacama was best played on Conquest as well.

 

[dragonflys545]

Mmmmm Karkand!!!!

So good! One of my favorite Conquest maps.

Atacama Desert and Port Valdez were solid CQ maps as well

 

[Anton Sugar]

Lots of comparison screens here.

 

[Enkidu]

3 capture points in a straight line isn't exactly what I'd call a good Conquest map. That's not to say you couldn't get a good game going on those maps, but they were not very well designed for conquest.

 

[J-Rock]

Looks good to me.

 

[Anton Sugar]

So it's kindof a mix of the 32p map (5 bases on one side) and the 64p (2 bases across the bridge).

 

[Jakeh111]

For once I can say

MY BODY IS READY

 

[childplease]

Would be cool if they included a video option to remove the color grading and the sun flares.

Bluish tint looks atrocious.

 

[-tetsuo-]

i've really missed the crazed sycophantic ballwashing from the pre-release battlefield threads, glad to see it's back in force for the dlc.

wait, i mean BE MY BODY ADVISED ABOVE THE CALL BRO GOTY.

U mad?

I fantasize about that.

 

[Woorloog]

How many flags on consoles?

 

[Prologue]

It says "enchanced" destruction. Why wasn't this in the game to begin with? Why in just these maps?

 

[RoboPlato]

It says "enchanced" destruction. Why wasn't this in the game to begin with? Why in just these maps?

I think it's odd too. I would have thought that these would have had less destruction than the base game since they're BF2 maps, not the other way around.

 

[RibbedHero]

How many flags on consoles?

At most 4 I would think.

 

[TTP]

It says "enchanced" destruction. Why wasn't this in the game to begin with? Why in just these maps?

I guess they mean enhanced compared to the original maps?
