Battlefield 3: three themed expansion packs announced; 12 million copies

CTF/SND aren't fun to play in COD; I don't see how putting it in BF would magically make it better.

I dunno, having a Medic class already makes it 100% more fun than the CoD version. Add to that stuff like suppression etc and it could be an interesting mode.



Raide said it best. I see these potential modes working PERFECTLY. This isn't COD, mang, this is battlefield. This is a team game... and CTF/SnD are team oriented game modes :O!! With the classes and full destruction the new maps provide, matches will be played out like they should be.

Scenario: Grab the flag... being escorted by your teammates. The medic following you is providing health and reviving any of the defensive line. You have support gunners keeping their offensive team suppressed (would be loled at typically but the next patch is greatly improving suppression!). You've hit a dead end.. you know the enemies are trailing behind and if you have to backtrack it will lead to inevitable death. This will allow for them to cap your flag. One of you pull out your grenade launcher and blow a hole through a wall and continue towards your base as your support gunners lay prone and lay down the cover fire as you sprint towards your base.


I could seriously write-up dozens of cinematic battlefield experiences that would occur in these types of game modes. I think going on the offense with your squad would be the best... you have to clear out the room their flag carry/squad is camping in.. open up with a smoke bang and a few explosives and go in guns blazing. Anyway, it would/will(hopefully!) be fucking awesome.

Search and Destroy will play out just as awesome if not better!



ps- Of course, there will always be the games where you land on a team of scrubs that get stomped when attempting to secure the flag or defuse the bomb.. but the battlefield moments will make it all worth while :D


tl;dr its gon rain!



What kind of utter idiots release the most wanted expansion a year after the game is out. Who is even going to be playing by then.

This game has the worst post release support I've seen in a major title, total joke.


.... unfortunately I have to agree. It's sad. How long have we gone without a patch? The first DLC came out several months after release..CQC will be 7 months later. This is ridiculous. MW3 has already had TWO map packs (right? two?)

I like to believe it takes far longer to create a map on frostbite 2 than it does to creating a COD map... or that COD's maps are just rehashed areas from the campaign...

but this long DICE:(

oh, and the community will be fine. There will ALWAYS be full servers up for all of the maps! they'll be there until BF4 comes. This is battlefield we're talkin about, son.

dozens of full servers down the road... probably not with this post launch support.

Can't really see it clearly, but I think I saw some new weapon called a ACW-R. Didn't look a whole lot different from what we currently have with all the attachments, though.

Trailer looks good, although I will refrain from buying it until I've seen more or hear other people's opinion about it. The addition of HD destruction does look nice, although the maps still look cramped.

I don't buy multiplayer games for graphics, so HD destruction won't push me over the edge.

If the CZ75 and CZ750 rumors are true and if they're going with the 2 per class route like B2K.

Matching the kill feed with the squad names, class, and likely pairing:

Assault
SCAR-L
AUG
Engi
ACW-R
MTAR-21
Support
L86
LSAT
Sniper
CZ750
Something Semi-Auto maybe?
General
CZ75
SPAS-12
