so you think they just banged this out ?

it would have all been planned and ready probably as the game was launched or before not last week.

simple fact is the close quarters will sell more than the bigger map pack that comes later . 5 pound bet ? donate it to whatever :)

take a look at what is most played = metro
take a look at what people most leave on = vehicle maps / large maps

not rocket science.

as for people crying about stuff on forums that is what they do :p

It's only metro though for score pimping. I played lots and lots of metro just to get my sniper class upgraded and my medal for surveillance and to upgrade some weapons.

I don't really enjoy metro anymore and its certainly not my favorite map by a long way. I suspect most people are the same.

Strange things tonight. I ran up behind a soldier and knifed him. Animation didnt start, i just swung the knife and the guy just disappered into fresh air! No kill either.

I've had that as well...It's just as they leave the server...Chased someone across Kharg only for them to vanish into thin air....proper annoying.

the reason they bringing out the new upclose dlc is they know mw3 is bad they know it will sell a lot better than the vehicle big dlc maps.

they know what time frame this game has and shelf life basically one year.

so get out most popular dlc in the most saleable order before thier next product hits in october and people buy that and forget about bf3.

medal of honor war fighter will probably do exactly the same

EA/ Dice are in the market to make money...They have to look after their interests first, community second.

I go between metro love / hate....
 
People are feeling threatened because their game is having another play style introduced. If you don't like it simply don't buy the DLC or play the maps.

I think it looks great, something a little different to the large maps which will require a different approach and strategy.
 
It's funny as a die hard console cod player friend of mine recently moved over to BF3, and he does not like the close quarters maps, he much prefers the big vehicle maps.

But then me, a die hard BF2 fan, really likes the close quarters maps.

Go figure :)

The main problem with the new DLC will be all the kids running around crying that they can't find their tanks.

Easy, just tell them the tanks are through a door somewhere but really you have planted some claymores on the other side :D:cool:

The main game is not even finished, you give them to much credit if you think they had the DLC all sorted before BF3 was rush released. BF3 is full of bugs and balance issues, it's missing 90% of standard PC features seen in past games, so yeah they are just banging content out. They did it with BF3 and they are doing it with DLC, the easiest and quickest to develop **** gets pumped out first. How long does it take to design them tiny indoor maps? not long. How long does it take to design maps on the scale of kharg island and bigger with all out vehicle warfare? think on.

Metro is only popular due to its derp design that boosts stats and allows for super quick unlocks, the map is complete ****. Large vehicles based maps are the next popular after it.

The fact CQC is 8v8 will not appeal to the casuals that enjoy the mass spam of metro, they will play it to grab the new weapons and then dump it, that's the only incentive to buy the DLC and Dice know it.

In the video?

-Guy joins a game as Russians.
-Guy drops C4.
-Guy kills himself.
-Guy joins the Americans.
-Guy detonates C4 he placed on the Russian side.
-Profit.

For the people who don't know, if you placed C4 and you die, you can still detonate it when you respawn, even if you join another team.
