[Megathread] Battlefield 3

[Shinzai]

Damn this thread died quick :\ anyway here's the armored kill trailer..



..all I can say is.. SNOW MAPS, YAAAY! This is the real BF, not that CQ joke

...I'll be in my bunk.

Everytime I see that trailer, it just gets me hyped about BF3 again. The AC-130 is an absolute monster.

Flares are useless if you are being locked on with SOFLAM, any stinger or guided missile will hit you anyway

No?
its not true since b2k patch

There's so many things coming out in a couple of months. I CANT DECIDE WHAT TO DO.

I'm getting armored kill, that's for sure. I'm a vehicle freak in BF.

So another EA press conference has come and gone with yet again very, very little new information. For anyone who missed it we learned that EA are using their old scumbag money-grabbing ways and are releasing a premium package, original game and premium for $70, yep you read that right, guess people who already bought premium are getting screwed over again and there's going to be a night snow map

So wait, how am I getting screwed?

I bought that game almost a year ago for $50, played it for 8 months, bought premium for $50, played that for 3 months.

I for one, am shocked that things get cheaper the longer they are out.

Show me a game that hasn't decreased in price over time.

Really looking forward to getting Armored Kill. I'm gonna rock from the sky with my Viper.
Also if you head over to CJS keys, you can get premium for £27.99. I did it because I don't like to get raped by EA.

That's done all the time. If you want to be thrifty in the videogame world, always wait a year or two, inevitably the game comes out with DLC rollups for less than it originally cost. For non-EA games, you can toss the Steam sale factor on top too.

I have a question. Why is every top player playing as Assault? Every player in the top clans have like 40-50 service stars as assault.

You get mad points if your teammates suck Really, though, you get a LOT of points for reviving and healing, and the weapons are awesome for all around use. I think Assault is the easiest class to earn points as.

Do Conquest Metro with 1000 tickets as Assault and you'll know why they have so many points. Find a staircase where your team is trying to move up, and just ress people as they glide back down to you when they get mowed down at the top of the stairs. It's an incredibly efficient farm setup.

Not really excited for Armored Kill, unless I get some neat new guns, and camo for more than 4 guns I don't use.

I'll be honest, I'm deeply disappointed and pissed off at the bonus content, an artbook?! For one it's not content, is anyone actually looking forward to that?

What's not to love? Massive open world vehicle warfare, raining down fire with the AC-130(on rails), tank version of king of the hill a snow map AND a night-time snow map. How could you not be excited for that? D:

I prefer to do it as recon with the motion sensor. 30 points for every kill made near it.

We've got a week's worth of Double XP starting tomorrow morning. Isn't that enough to be pleased?

True, you can rack up quite the motion sensor assist ribbon count too.

It's the fact that they hyped up the bonus content on twitter, facebook and the forums as some amazing in-game content that we'd all be surprised to see and then they drop this on us so as you can assume, there's a lot of unhappy people out there, myself included and I don't really care about double XP, though I will admit the contest they're doing for the august event is pretty sweet as we could potentially earn up to 2 maybe 3 or even a month of bonus XP.
