I have to say I don't actually like a lot of the maps currently. Caspian Border is so boring. Spend most of your time running between flags only for someone else to kill the one person that is there. Not to mention the maps that funnel everyone in to one or two channels so people just camp throwing grenades and firing rockets (Op Metro for example). Operation Firestorm is where it's at. Nice open plan map but also with a few flags close together for more infantry based combat. I need to get the Back to Karkand expansion as Karkand and Sharqi were both great.

So sad to see such a great series end up like this :(.

You're acting like as if DICE have wee'ed all over the plans for the tank warfare dlc and then stuffed the soggy mess into your dinner. It's coming out after this. And don't forget the third unknown DLC.

(I love your sig by the way.)

With B2K we got "Enhanced Destruction" (which was nothing more than empty stone structures inexplicably exploding outwards when shot at), with this we're getting "HD Destruction". Whats next? Seems to me theyre just adding in the Destruction level as it was meant to be before they half arsed the game and released it early.

I don't want just tank maps, cqc maps can be fun, but dice seem more interested in making tiny maps, with as many choke points as possible for people to spam rockets at. Where are the good cqc maps that accommodated 64 players and vehicles and provided a good mix. Road to Jalalabad on Bf2 was a great cqc. Fairly open at the front for the tanks to push and break the defensive line along with a few major roads that the tanks could use. Then intense infantry fighting inside the city and around the inner flags.

This dlc is so far from what a battlefield game should be :(. Dice just seem obessed with making tiny maps with choke points everywhere.

As for the tank dlc, the only thing that has going for it is Dice claiming it will have the biggest maps ever. Everyone knows they are full of crap though, they already used that lie with the stock bf3 maps. Before game came out, they were the biggest maps ever. What do we get, all the flags clustered in the middle with space around the outside for jets.
If they had any intention of biggest maps ever, then bf3 stock would have at least one map the size of zatar wetlands, clean sweep or any of the larger bf2 maps.

Anyone who believes DICE when they say it will have the biggest map ever is a fool.

This as well.
 
Dice wouldve made their lifes a lot easier if they putted the armoured kill DLC 1st and then then the Close Quarters one. Instead they go easy money way which might backfire on them. Sure u get new players but a lot wont be there in Oktober.

on another note... when people are sniping why do they fix torch / laser sight to the rifle?

surely this just gives away your position?

They don't

That's the "glint" from the reflection of the high power scope that happens even in the darkest depths of metro.

It's a game play mechanic to discourage the wookies from spending all game up on a hill somewhere staring down a scope because you can see them from a mile off

People on here moan about metro all the time, yet it seems to be on every map rotation - why? :confused:

Because for every die hard battlefield fan on a forum somewhere moaning about the size of the maps, there are 3 or 4 casual gamers who just want to have fun and like close maps.

It's why when maps came on like zatar wetlands on a BF2 the server, it went quiet, and for every server playing a large map like that, there were 2 or 3 running karkand 24/7
 
Is there any word on a patch for the game?

Im going to wait for the dlc to come out before I decide if it's worth it. Really I'm
So peed of with dice for selling out and giving misleading information, I should not even play the game.

I hope someone recognises the needed for a bf2 replacement and make a game that makes dice/ea regret they ever heard of cod
