even strike at karkand is bigger than some of the current maps.

There were many servers playing dragon valley and wake island 24/7.

Fact of the matter is that the smaller maps were more popular than the larger ones.

Battlefield has moved on, and its got nothing to do with being a console port.

The PC map sizes are already significantly bigger than the ones on the Consoles. The engine was redesigned from the ground up.

Any decision taken to reduce map sizes and move flags closer together was a gameplay decision taken by DICE to improve the game, and had nothing to do with it being a "console port" If they had wanted huge maps in BF3, they could have done it. But they chose not to because they thought it would make for a better experience not having to drive for ages just to find somebody.

That is how mortars work

The rockets thing is a bug, though.

Sorry, didn't explain well. Similar to the SMAW bug, he was firing 1 or 2 mortars a second constantly for the entire round. Ended up with a huge amount of kills.

Oh strange! I must see if I can find out how he did it.

Please can someone give me the IP/port of a proxy I can use to bypass the date check?

OzZie · 26 Oct 2011 at 16:51

Ive just bought it via Origin.

However, i cant pre-load any of the files, or log in to Origin.

I thought i could at least pre-load the game?

fair enough but how the hell can metro and damavand peak conquest be designed to improve the game?

same goes for seine crossing and grand bazzar. soon as one team dominates all points it turns into a spawn camping fest.

conquest doesnt feel like conquest on those maps, feels more like domination from cod.
