I've started to really properly enjoy this game, now that I've got a fair few people from here on my friends list.
Stop complaining about the DLC charge thingy, with the conquest DLC on the old game the maps were mostly the same, and they'd just added a game type, but it added a lot more to the game than CoD DLC ever has. I'm loving the new maps, and I don't blame EA for trying to make money off of the pre-owned market, considering how many copies have undoubtedly gone through the hands of multiple CoD die hards when they realise they can't sprint around with a sniper rifle like a madman on crack.
Also it was probably a safeguard, so that if the game flopped, which it certainly hasn't, it doesn't hurt them as much as it would had all the DLC been free.
Also, just the fact that it is a new map makes it fun for me, if we have them all at the start, none feel special and we're not grateful for one extra, it's just human nature. I love going through maps for the first time, once you already know the game, it adds a special element to the game that makes it feel almost like a co-op mission as you don't know exactly what's going to happen at each base, but you know how to work together.
It may sound stupid but that's how I actually feel about it, and unlike on CoD I would be perfectly happy if they recycled old maps and charged us, considering they put effort into them, and one Frostbite rush or conquest map encompasses about 5 CoD maps with infinitely more v****tion(EDIT: Umm so apparently general variety is wrong?
), I honestly wouldn't mind paying £20 for all the BC1 maps updated to Frostbite 2, I really miss Oasis! That map was awesome, as was the night time conquest map, can't remember the name, but there was a bridge then two conquest points either side of the river.

You have to get ten gold stars for that weapon.
I don't think it does. I'm guessing you'll just have to see how many kills it takes to get your second gold star, and then times it by 9.
A medic + assault (smoke) pair seems to be a pretty insane squad/fireteam if you've only got two people.
The Assault guy covers the medic with smoke when he needs to revive someone and then the assault drops an ammo crate, both get consistent points, and when the medic dies the assault can smoke, swap, revive and when the assault dies the medic can revive or swap,smoke,swap, revive.
Smoke is probably my favourite squad play weapon at the moment, I'd say getting your entire squad across a MG and sniper guarded plain is much more rewarding and useful than running out to recover one ticket and then dying, ultimately going nowhere, yet the smoke is the least points rewarded weapon in the game. However, as this is Battlefield and not another game, the points and kills aren't everything, because getting the win is the ultimate goal of most people playing this game rather than their KD, knowing that you enabled the win seems more rewarding than taking out people as they run around corners you're camping
Man I love this game! Still trying to convince some of my friends though, they saw BC2 recon gameplay and scoffed at the "hardscoping", oh for shame!

Agree....espically when there's dedicated servers.
I'm going to go trade in a few games to get this later on. Played it at my mates yesterday for a few hours and I think I'm hooked lol. I'm not all for tactics at the minute but I didn't play with anyone I knew.
If anyone's up for teaching me a few things or at least just some new people to play with add me XBL Tag: V0nsteve

Hi all. add me on PSN jojothemonkey69 I'm new to the game but it's very enjoyable.
Yeah really enjoying this game at the moment especially when I actually get in a squad that co-operates...
If anyone has room for an extra squad player that would be cool as only one of my mates has this game so far. cheers!
Xbox tag same as my forum nick.

Cheers that's pretty good for a tube link. Not sure I like body armour in Hardcore though, especially when I don't have any and it's a long way away.
anyone else started to get kicked randomly from lobbies or is it just my connection going wierd? It's probably the connection as Xbox live functions are going dodgy as well.
On another note, WHY are the nerfing the AN94? The M16 is so much better than the AN94, nerf that! Magnum ammo M16 is a one burst kill and with a 4x scope you can pretty much treat it as an anti-sniper marksman weapon with full auto capability!

Are they nerfing the AN94? I've heard nothing of this.

This is my experience too. late night the games go downhill with only a couple of people trying to cap flags and a lot more base camping etc. At first i thought it was a couple of bum games but it seems too much of a trend now
