Just tried this out and it's very good. Taken a few heli's down already with the stinger and the maps feel like BF2 again. Also performance is very good considering map size. Runs better than CQ.
 
Went home and downloaded this on my lunch, had a little go on rush on the snow level... it's awesome! :D

It feels really good to play, the one map I've played is beautiful, the AC130 does not seem too overpowered, a couple of people with stingers or a single jet can take it down if they focus on it, haven't been in it myself yet, gotta wait till 3!
 
Seen some weird hit detection issues, shot a viper right in the ass with a tank destroyer and nothing happens, got the hit marker but no smoke from the heli..just flew on like id not touched it. Also ive been killed inside a vehicle by the ac130 while the vehicle was still at 100% health, that happened while running along in the mobile rocket launcher. :confused:

And to add to that was in a tank destroyer and got killed by an abrams in a single hit while at full armour...

And another one, helicopter hovering behind the ac130, spammed the crap out of him with the aa cannons and it didn't seem to do anything.... Also anyone noticed on armoured shield the plane seems to bump slightly into one of the windmils?

Thank god for teamviewer. Downloading this now while I'm at work. That is, unless my missus turns off my pc for hogging all the bandwidth as she threatened to. She works from home, but still... she must know this is punishable by DEATH!

Shame you can't teamviewer an AC130 to watch over your house! Few warning shots into the garden when she goes to power your PC off :p

Even better: remote quadcopter with sharp stick on the end. Then I could fly around and poke her when she gets close to the power button.
 
Had a few rounds now. Maps are a good size and it runs well, a lot better than b2k and cq. However, one map in particular is way too blue, (night time one). Also had a problem with javelin hit's not registering a few times. Looks like a decent expansio though. Enjoyed the few rounds i played.

I think almost one year after the release date, now BF3 is picking up to be what it shold have been from the beginning, though this experience is mainly represented in this latest dlc.

As for their art direction it's still poor. Need to infuse the game with natural colours rather than blue/green tint lol
 
I might start using the fxaa injector again. That night map is way too blue. Hurts my eyes lol. Agreed, this latest expansion has a bit more of a bf feel about it. The b2k maps just dont seem to suit bf3.
 
Are Dice playing a different game to us?

There is a bit of destruction, but it's a lot lower in scale than what was possible in bc2. Ie, bring a whole building down on people for destruction kills.
 
Yeah the destruction is nowhere as good as BC 2 in terms of what can be destroyed and the animations/looks (although from the building collapsing looks better from the outside in BF 3) IMO, plus I loved it when you were in a building in BC 2 you could always tell that it was about to come down due to the creaking noise and screen sort of shaking with the bricks/dust coming down around the sides.

So many things like trees, brick walls can bring tanks to a complete halt in BF 3.

Big annoying thing with BF 3 is the way some stuff can be destroyed whilst another part, which is the exact same can't be i.e. on seine crossing, can bring down the walls on some parts but on other parts nothing happens.
