This is one of the oddest DICE trailers yet. VO was cringe worthy but the second half was great as usual. The maps are looking REALLY solid, and I'm excited to try them out...

...when DICE gets their shit together so people can actually play the game.

Second Assault comes out on launch day for the Xbox One and most likely sometime next year for everybody else.

I agree.

Disagreeable first post.

That being said the new Metro looks sexy as hell.

I appreciate your honesty and I admire your bravery but I sense that you are about to be torn a new one very, very soon.

Are you insane?

Hard to look at anything EA/DICE is putting out when you can barely play the game on any platform.

 

[SJRB]

I can't wait to replay the maps I've been playing over the last 1.5 year or so in my game that came out last week.

 

[a916]

That's a pretty cheesy VO... rather they just show all that crazy footage and play the BF theme... looks good though. That sandstorm is amazing!

EDIT: Why is there a trailer for Second Assault... isn't China Rising releasing first?

 

[Mayyhem]

How do you buy this map pack on day one on xbox one? Does it come for free if you have the game?

If you have to buy the seasons pass or premium, is that offered only on the Xbox One marketplace or in store too?

Seriously...

It's not like it's a classic game being remade. I don't want to play BF3 maps. In fact, most of the BF3 maps were total garbage.

In a way. But Second Assault launches next week*.


*First on Xbox One.

All I know is that it's not free. I have Premium so I'll probably get it that way.

 

[Enkidu]

Compared to Back to Karkand it's quite hard to get excited over these returning maps. Some of the best BF2 maps versus some vanilla BF3 maps that range from meh to horrible. At least Gulf of Oman is included again.

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

That was actually pretty sweet. Voiceover worked well & the gameplay definitely looked good. Plus everyone I played with hated Firestorm except for me, and that made the cut so I'm in.

Hopefully I don't have to wait long on my PS4, or maybe by then it will be working!

[TacticalFox88]

I always enjoy BF trailers more than the actual game.

*sigh*

 

[moai]

looks awesome, but the horror stories about bf4 not working keep coming. it killed any hype i had for the game.

 

[NinjaTehFish]

No Damavand makes this ninja a sad fish.

I live for the jump.

 

[EatChildren]

Love Caspian and Firestorm. Hopefully I can actually play the maps.

 

[RoboPlato]

You know what would be cool? Being able to have the base game in a playable state before advertising DLC.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Love Caspian and Firestorm. Hopefully I can actually play the maps.

it's nice to want things.

 

[K.Sabot]

Basically, fix Damavand (maybe cut the mountains off and add a second layer to the tunnel part) and you'd have a good BF3 map.

The rest of them are terrible.

 

[Derrick01]

Ok I understood when they did this with BF2 maps but this is ridiculous. This game only came out 2 years ago.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Im still trying to find the logic in them making BF3 Classic maps when the game was out about 2 years back. I can understand if they added classic B1/B2 maps but from BF3 when it isnt even considered a classic yet? SMH

 

[SiRatul]

Looks great and I'm looking forward to it but I'm totally confused by the release schedule. When is the regular release of this DLC? When do premium members get it on PC or PS4? Does it come after everyone gets China Rising?
They just talk about X1 X1 X1 all day. At least last time when stuff was on PS3 first we got some dates on when stuff will come to which platform.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I don't want to play Metro again.

What I want to play is Battlefield 4.

Fix that shit before making these trucking maps.

Ah! Now it makes sense. Second Assault launches next week on the XB1 but China Rising releases the week after for Premium members (and then 2 weeks later for everyone else).

Disagree by a whole kilometer. Grand Bazaar is my fav but not Metro.

 

[Disguises]

Ugh. I've just played these maps. Why did they choose maps from bf3? Sure, some of the maps are cool, but they could have chosen some BC1/BC2 maps at least. Operation Metro can also fuck off.

It's a good map but not the best, that award goes to Panama Canal.

Anyone heard if CTF is being added to the all other maps?

I don't think the idea of including some good maps from the previous game is a bad thing. A good map is a good map, but charging extra money for them is a bit too much when they won't be that different, especially so when most of the maps included weren't that great anyway.

Artists ≠ Engineers... people making content is not the same as people fixing the technical stuff.

I didn't know today was Opposite Day.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Caspian Border is gonna be sweet. As long as the changes didn't break how well the map flowed.

Metro actually seems to have made progress, how well the new paths actually work will need playtime.The falling roof segments looks cool

Op Firestorm is fun but they didn't add any cool levolution thing to it, just fire coming out of some pipes from what I've seen

Oman's new sandstorm makes everything super hard to see which will make for some good combat and mid round loadout changes. People will start running more with IR scopes and thermal sights in tanks etc.

Not surprising coming from a Laker fan.

 

[RoKKeR]

Ok I understood when they did this with BF2 maps but this is ridiculous. This game only came out 2 years ago.

Especially since this is one of the very first map packs they are putting out, I agree.

However, they aren't just a straight port and have added quite a few things to change how they play. If they didn't make an effort to change them up then I would be annoyed with the maps.

 

[domstah]

When does Second Assault launch for those of us who are second class citizens on the other consoles and PC?

You won't see any Bad Company maps in a main BF game I think. BC2 had BC1 maps and BC3 will get BC2 maps if it ever comes out.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I wonder what effect the sandstorm will have on the number of recon per team.

How can a person say anything other than Wake Island? Even if it ain't your favorite, you still have to say Wake Island. Metro is a one stop shop to repetitveland. There is nothing to gain from that subway. Not even a sandwich.

 

[RoKKeR]

Also this. BC2 or BC1 maps, for the most part at least, don't necessarily support what we have in Battlefield 4.

But god damn, the day when I can play Port Valdez on Frostbite 3 will be the day I throw all of my concerns about DICE out of the window.

Spoiler

Not really.

fixed your post for you. not a fan of wake island, and id wish metro would go die (along with locker). but Oman...OH MAN. BF2 demo for DAYSSSS

I'm with you there. Even though I played the heck out of Port Valdez and Arica Harbour during the beta and demo I still couldn't get enough of it. Rush on those two and Valparaiso was all I needed.

I really hope things gets fixed till the EU launch. Already had enough trouble with the PC version. For now I can worry about other maps later I guess.

[realcZk]

I hope they fix BF4 before all the DLC comes out, I can't wait to play it. What little I can experience is loads of fun.
