Consoleized no.

Wake island 5 flag proved even console gamers like the big maps. Today i fired up mt BF3 server browser on xbox and asked for all servers playing gulf of oman conquest (4 flags on xbox with jets etc..)

How many servers ? 14 pages of them

Then i switched it to te 3 flag conquest assault version thy demod at E3 last year. How many servers ?

Just 3 and all empty.

You're right about being unoriginal and shallow however.

I can still enjoy shallow though

I'm sorry but the larger conquest maps just DON'T work on the consoles. I've got BF3 for Xbox as well, the 24 player limit means the smaller scale of the default conquest maps works for it. The larger maps on the consoles are just a bore.
 
Just buy the DLC as it is released, why pay for something that could suck. The last two DLC are months away, the last not until March 2013, who knows what state BF3 will be in then, it's already in huge decline on PC in player count.

If you don't mind missing out on shiny things with premium and paying up to £8 more if you buy all DLC then just buy the DLC as it hits, gives you a chance to weigh them up before filling EA's pockets.

TBH the whole PC gaming is dead imo.
 
I wouldn't say it's dead. There are way better games that aren't run of the mill FPSs and whatnot that hold their weight on the PC.
 
Massive maps, 10 man squads, in game platoons, in game VOIP, hundreds of players engaged in vehicle and infantry combat, that's planetside 2, imagine what BF3 could have been if Dice did no sell the franchise out.

BF3 got old a few months in, players are just grinding for worthless stats and shiny things. Planetside 2 innovates and refreshes the FPS genre, something BF3 never even attempted to do on PC. If anything it went backwards compared to past games, from map design to team work tools, lack of standard PC features like VOIP, spectator mode and battlerecorder.

This is one of the reasons I refuse to put anymore cash in EA's and Dice pockets, they won't even bring the game up to previous titles standards, but are a happy to spam us with tacky premium content, 50% of which we have no clue what it's about.

Happily bought all three. AF was the pick of the bunch.

But BF2 had a 5yr+ lifespan so at least u knew when buying the expansion that there was much fun to come. With BF3 u know EA are going to release something in November each year that is going to kill the playerbase.

I remember I logged into my account on a friend's computer to unlock the extra weapons in Euro Forces for BF2, didnt need to buy the expansion. I wonder if the same will be true for BF3...Ended up buying SF, EF, AF eventually when it was £9.99 for the lot (did wish I'd bought it sooner but only cos I'd spent so much time on BF2. For BF3 I'm lucky if I get 15 hours per month so no point in the expansions for me really unless that changes.
 
maybe to fix some of the early patch bugs, i've seen a few myself, mostly with batlelog itself, mainly with assignments not tracking properly with the premium.
 
Hopefully they will fix the issues with the country and game option filters that i was having problems with yesterday.... Looking on the Battlelog section of their forums there is a major issue with it..... :/

Do they not test these things before they go live!?
