    i wished they added more factions for the MP, it was fun playing as the europeans, chinese and sand people.

    Every video makes me want to play this game but when I do, I realise I'm shit.

    Week early for PS3?

    Just wondering, not foaming.

    Brand new, but all that still feels so familiar

  • zegerman1942 #5 6 months ago

    the destruction in that is simply stunning. i can't wait to see this massive old favourite of mine with the new engine and see how it destroys!

    BF3 desperately needs these maps IMO. Even the big open maps are disappointing to me, it's like they're all designed to channel everyone into infantry combat and screw vehicles over.

    @M_of_the_sys

    Just go for it, even if you don't have the best reflexes, you can still settle into the Assualt class and be useful to your team by spotting, healing and taking the odd oppourtunity kill.

    Similarly most of the best weapons are unlocked very early on (SV98 sniper, 870 Shotgun, SCAR-H carbine, M416 assault, M39R battle rifle from co-op is my fave), so you won't be missing out for long.

    BF is more about playing as a team - more than Kill/Death ratios.

    @DUFFKING The problem being that these maps will not be BF2 maps. If you look carefully at the trailers you can see that swathes of land have been removed in an effort to make the maps smaller and more action oriented... EA and DICE may be saying PC was lead platform, but the whole game has been designed around the consoles and so have the maps.

    So basically we get the BF2 maps redesigned to be playable on consoles. Thus smaller and more cluster*@#&ed

    Considering I only play on 5 maps (the rest lag too much or are flat-out boring), this will be a definite value boost.

  • Bennyjj81 #10 6 months ago

    Awesome! Even more places for possibly every French and German player to lie prone in a dark place like a coward and shoot me. . . . Oh BF I love you (sometimes).

  • johnw100 #11 6 months ago

    I like how they promote "enhanced destruction" for these new maps. Considering BF3 destruction is a step backwards from Bad Company 2. I guess "enhanced destruction" means on par with Bad company 2? Still nice to have 3 great maps back.

    31st December 23:59 comfirmed.

    Dunno what you lot are moaning about BF3 makes me want to shpunken when I'm playing... best multi-player by far.

    Loved these maps on BF2 so I'm proper excited about this.

  • maxb #14 6 months ago

    Was a little dissapointed with a few of the maps on the disc so looking forward to these.

  • Ramboness #15 6 months ago

    I hope they'll fix the huge bugs which prevent me to play this full of potential game.

  • johnw100 #16 6 months ago

    @maxb Think the idea is to keep releasing maps every few months (i hope). I think its a good idea as this way you have time to learn the maps.

    Good good. Love the maps so far except the larger vehicle ones as too quite with 24 players. Re sound effects, that is one area where bf3 totally dominates mw3. Bf3 sound is near perfect.

  • DAN.E.B #19 6 months ago

    Theres a new map pack for COD too its called MW3

  • intrepidbeaver #20 6 months ago

    I'd like to play as the sand people too. Jawas as well are a possibility

  • goondocks74 #21 6 months ago

    Yeah looks great. Shame I have become the worst BF player and no longer enjoy playing what was my favourite series. :(

  • RustyBullet #22 6 months ago

    on the sound with BF3 dont forget to set it to war tapes for the best sound option. fkin amazing.

  • Mr_Fujisawa #23 6 months ago

    @Crovax20 The problem is on console a lot of the maps are still too large. If you play Caspian Border with 2 planes, 2 tanks, 2 helicopters per side you end up with 6 infantry on a map with 4 capture points. You pretty much never see anyone. Same with Firestorm and the canals one. On console the ones that seem to work better are the smaller levels. It's a shame from what you've said they've gone for a middle ground and aren't pleasing either crowd.

    On console I never had a problem with the size of map in BFBC2.
