What is garbage, is somebody trying to base an opinion of what is an extremely complex subject on one anomaly.

This is lag, anomalies happen, people have spouting the same crap whining about something they can do nothing about since the early Quake days.

Well I love the pack. My server has switched over to B2K and I can see it staying that way for some time. Especially enjoying Oman and Sharqi which is a surprise, as I was most looking forwards to Karkan and Wake.

I haven't played the maps on Conquest yet but the Rush modes of them are good fun and difficult

I unlocked the G53 last night. It's a great little carbine about the size of an MP5 with a bit more punch....and it came with a 12x ballistic scope.

 

[Spook187]

We have the new maps on one of our servers if anyone interested

No it's crap netcode, this dieing well behind cover has been going on since the alpha so yeah horrible netcode.

With the issues with Origin, not managed to play all of the 'new' maps. Only briefly had a go of Gulf of Oman, which didn't feel like the Gulf of Oman in BF2.

However, Karkand has a very,very similar feel and really brings back the memories!

My biggest issue with the new maps is the Frostbite engine. At the start of the round, the buildings are all whole, cover is fairly easy, and movement is smooth. After a couple of minutes every building is leveled, you think you are in cover behind something, but the wall lying diagonally has a hole by your waist, and you have to constantly jump to get from one place to another.

I don't mind some destruction, but when it means most maps look the same by the end of the round, it is a bit silly.

Apart from that, had a couple of brilliant rounds last night, and I seemed to get way more points on Karkand and Oman than I have ever done on any of the BF3 maps .

Morning Gents. Busy server this morning. Anyone for a game??

 

[Banzai_Joe]

Sorry if this has already been posted, but i got the recent 3.9Gb update. I assumed it was the Karkland pack as i bought the LE which gave me the DLC for it.
However when i just search for Karkland in the server filter i get zero results.
Can someone advise please?

 

[SiDeards73]

I suck so much i get my ass handed to me 24/7 on that server hahaha

Will pop on though to boost other peoples ratios

 

[xGBHxPegasus]

Can a server have the old maps and new maps in same rotation?

Heard they cant and will be a bit stupid if not 4 maps on rotation, which for me arnt really all that their cracked up to be isnt really that fun.

yes you just get booted when a new map comes on and you don't have it.

Well that was the complaint...bf3 maps had toned down detructon compared to bfbc2 and people complain. But then when there is too mcuh destruction it means the maps just become flattened out with no real structures making them pointless.

I mean whats the point in a nice looking map with cool hiding spots and alleys and what not if within 10minutes everythign is flattened or has holes in it so theres no hiding spots etc....

I think there should be an option to run servers with no destruction at all. Just for a variation.

I mean ID liek to sight-see and enjoy the gfx of this next gen title esoecially comparing to old maps. But when its all destroyed within minutes you cant see or feel what the map is ''really'' like.

I dont know if its easy as flickign a swithc to put no destruction on? Can dice do that? Is it that simple? Just change a bit coding to cancel destrcution of environments?

The irony is we all want as much destruction as possible on the other hand.

When I was hiding in the hotel I thought I was safe but the tank blew the walls of and I was exposed so I climb upstairs and he blows the walls of there, lol..and so on. That sucks.

But if Im in the tank its great.

sun glare is a pain too.

Do you think it would be easy for DIce to release a pacth that offers no destruction?

 

[gjrc]

with origin...

i have bought the new B2K pack.... and yet it seems to think i dont.

there didnt seem to be any download...

i tried to join B2k servers and yet it says i am missing game content? am i missing something?

 

[maxilive]

I doubt it compboyo, what they could do (will probably effect all maps) is make weapons/tanks do less damage to structures so it will take longer for the to fall.

I remember the beta/day1 moaning about the lack od destruction and now its to OTT?

I do like the aspect of full destruction I just want it to take a little longer which I think over time it will, buildings are getting destroyed far more quickly at the moment due to players not being used to the map so they just spam buildings with tank shells and hope for the best!

 

[Nevakonaza]

they need the option to turn destruction off ,.

The only thing that annoys me about the Destruction/debis is keep getting stuck on them while running,Usually ends up getting you killed because you cant seem to bloody budge off some sorrounding debris around a base your trying to capture.

sun glare is a pain too.

Do you think it would be easy for DIce to release a pacth that offers no destruction?

Yeah sun glare is is horrible in this game,Its too bright...a lot of things are.
I wish it was more like BC2s graphics..dount they will release an option to disable it though.
as for patch to disable destruction,cant see this been easy to to...most likely wont happen either.

Mind you looking on the get satisfation forums lately Dice/EA dont seem to be taking much intrest or giving feedback in anyones ideas as of lately,maybe its because they are/were super busy with the latest map releases or something..i really hope they continue to listen to the community.
