BF3 Discussion - 8.5 on GS Keep it Here

New Wake Island gameplay trailer for the Back to Karkand expansion is up (PS3 footage).

Looks like NA users will have to wait till 2PM to get it. :(

The caspian tower only comes down when the round is about to end. You cant bring it down yourself.

The game plays much better now. Feels smoother and I didn't get frustrated once when playing. And I would get annoyed in every single round before because something went wrong like being shot through walls and my shots not registering. But all that was gone when I played. The hit detection is still perfect for me and have had no issues with it.

The IR scope was completely nerfed. It has like a flash of green when you aim first and you can't see anything for a second. The whole ground is all one green sheet now too and enemies are just slightly different to the background. Its much much better.

Tanks feel stronger too and don't blow up as fast from the sides and front.

Also this is in Wake....

Ugh, waiting for these maps on PC is killing me. How are they, PS3 gamers? Are they glorious?

does anyone get problems with the sound? at random times, the sound just goes off and i can only hear my footsteps and shots when i see a bunch of explosions but cant hear them..... it happens to me a lot smokingsbad

Haven't had that at all. Hmmm strange

Karkand is the best one, its looks a bit rough but I guess thats because they are old maps

Not liking it so far. Oman has been ruined. Sharqi is terrible. Only played one round of Karkand and Wake so I can't say much about them. The F35s feel really fluid, so that's nice. Lots of vehicles on the maps, too. Tanks everywhere. There's a weird glitch where the kit weapons for Assault and Support didn't carry over, so I'm stuck with the starting guns and the all kits for those classes.ActionRemix

How has Oman and Sharaqi been ruined? You don't have the whole map open.

You're comparing PC maps to a dumbed down console version of them. Of course they will feel ruined.

The new maps are good, never been to karkand before, its open and sprawly I get shot in the back ALOT, but I am enjoying it...hate the FAMAS I unlocked, x12 zoom for a famas?.....

Back to Karkand bringing back destruction is BS!!!!! I was playing on Karkand or w/e it's called the desert city map.. any who there's like these 2 roads in the city one on the left one on the right between them are houses and there are also houses in the perimeter. Can someone explain to me why can't you blow up a hole in the back of the wall of the houses to make another route? I mean isn't this the point of that.. strategist warfare -,- instead on the PS3 having to run across the road. Anyone can pretty much assume it's a camping spot where people are just camping on the roof tops and inside houses killing anyone that gets on the street. This is lame :[

How many of the PS3 guys have tried the Assault Conquest game-type and how is it?

Rush is awesome.ActionRemix

Play on a better team. It seemed to work fine in the BF2 days

Back to Karkand should be $10.00 not $15.00. Its a really good expansion imo.

The new maps are good, never been to karkand before, its open and sprawly I get shot in the back ALOT, but I am enjoying it...hate the FAMAS I unlocked, x12 zoom for a famas?.....

why not just remove it?

Back on the hardware front! Thought the patch fixed my black screen problem with BF3, after a few hours it returned. Was able to play Skyrim for 140 hours before it started on that. Swapped video cards with my brother and he was getting choppy frames on Skyrim. So now I'm RMAing my video card to the manufacturer (which is Gigabyte and their process is a b***h.) Probably going to end up buying a 7970 when they come out, yay amazon text book trade-in. So now I'm reduced to playing on my old HD 4850, but I'll just stay away from BF3 until I get my card back / a new one. :(bleehum

That really sucks dude and Im sorry to hear it :(

Now that this patch has hit, for no particular reason most servers in my region have had their ping quadrupled. From 20-45 to 150-180.

I was playing a match in wich half the other team was playing Recon, lying down in their bases piloting those MAV, swarming the entire map. This sort of thing sucks the entire joy of the game. Seens like there isn't a lot of people willing to play the game seriously, no wonder Metro 1000 tickets is so popular. I'm gonna punch my neighbor in the face for convincing me to buy this ****. Perhaps next patch I'll try it again, if it isn't dead by then.
