Battlefield 3 Thread? Battlefield 3 Thread. All 9 multiplayer maps have been revealed, check em out:http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/Default.aspx##Doesn't look like water-based vehicles are going to play TOO big of a role, but I'm interested to see how they handle once the game comes out.
>9 mapsWhat the DLC milking?Thanks console peasant.
That Cliff one still looks like it will be the cooliest.Wake Island 24/7 Servers regardless
>>113491517Yeah I hope that base jumping element is as cool as it sounds.I'm just praying that Operation Metro is the shittiest map of the bunch come release. Infantry-based maps can be good, but not when they're filled with chokepoints and zero vehicles
Why did they bother with the "supported game modes" category when every map has every game mode?
>>113493531Because DLC for a dollar a map, with 20 maps on the horizon.
>another island mapThis makes me happy
>>113491951Didn't the Alpha have an LAV for the US?
>>113491157What are you crying about? Your maps are bigger.Plus, Back to Karakand is free with preorder. +4 maps. Cry some moar.
>>113491517>Wake Island 24/7 Servers regardlessmy nigga
an entire 9 fucking maps?fuck thisremember when fps' had at least 40 to begin with and all extra ones were patched in free?
>>113494017get over it
This is so fucking tragic. Caspian Border is the only map out of nine that they describe as a true Battlefield map and with heavy vehicle gameplay.What's horrible about it is that compared to Battlefield 2, it's babby vehicle warfare. There are much fewer vehicles, and they are much less important as well. I'm sad they didn't dare to branch out too much from CoD gameplay maps.
>>113494017Uhh, no?BF1942 had about 20.
>>113494017>40 shitty CoD size maps>9 Huge maps with destruction and all that shit plus at least 4 more confirmed with however many extras they decide to release like they did with BC2I'll go with door #2
>>113493711Even though I pre ordered and all DLC will be free for me, I would still pay $20 easily for 20 maps of BF3 dlc.
for all you autistic fuckheads there is 5 different versions of those 9 mapsso 9x5=45there 9 unique maps but 45 different maps
>>113494368Yeah, sure, I guess every CoD game has 90 maps on launch by those standards then.
>>113494331>9 huge mapsSo far>2 of them are CoD-tier close quarter maps>the other 2 have the same layout as each other, and they're basically 24 player sized maps with tacked on outposts at the far ends to make them 64 player size
>>113494456...What are you even talking about?
>>113494256Found a list:AberdeenBattle of BritainBattle of the BulgeBattleaxeBerlinBocageCoral SeaEl AlameinGazalaGuadal CanalInvasion of the PhilippinesIwo JimaKharkovKurskLiberation of CaenMarket GardenMidwayOmaha BeachStalingradTobrukWake IslandI'm pretty sure some of these were added after release, I'm almost sure Battle of Britain was.
>>113494565Because that retard said changing the game mode makes it an entirely new map. Since CoD comes with like 10 maps and 10 game modes that makes 100 maps.
>>113494522At least its not Nuketown 24/7 you faggot
>>113494331Can i fix it for you ?>40 cos sized maps>35 of the are from DLCs in stock of 5 for 14.99E each.I'll also go with battlefield
>>113494717It ain't Battlefield either, pally
Should I preorder this game to get the free maps? Or, should I just buy it used come later and not get the maps? Are the back to karland maps worth it since it's basically free?
>Base jumping mapOh dear lord all my spongefrybobs.
>>113494646Yeah, because CoD maps change with each gametype
>>113494808>buy used>consoles>battlefield on consoles
>>113494965Neither does Battlefield maps faggot
>>113494973Deal with it, bitch.
>>113494717Nuketown is the worst map in BLops, along with Firing Range and Hanoi. What the fuck do you autists see in those maps, never mind in that shitfest of a game?
>>113494808weigh you options.A.Pre-order and get all fuure DLC free. Get to play day 1.B. Wait 3-6 months after release to buy it when it might be less than full price. All DLC will cost you, you will be behind everyone else that has been playing for months.That sure is a hard decision.
>>113495021lol Wut?
>All 9 mapsAre you suggesting that's a lot? Fuck you.
>>113495165It's only a hard decisions for me since I'm unemployed and only got 200 dollars in my bank atm. Does Amazon take 60 dollars from your account the instant you put it on preorder?
Casuals
>>113495288No, he's suggesting that all 9 maps have been revealed. Fuck you.
Why not just go full server side?
>>113495289Amazon don't usually charge until they dispatch.
>>113495414alright, cool. Guess I'll preorder then since by then I'll be working.
>>113495289Stop eating out and buying rockstar energy drinks and starbucks coffees for a week. It's amazing how much money you can save. The release date has been available for months, unless you are a pathetic poorfag that lives paycheck to pay check without any savings ability, you have no excuse to not have it pre-ordered if you really wanted it.
>>113495510>the people who think that 60 bucks magically appear out of thin air and that everyone eats pizza and mcdonals every week
>No Coral Sea v3I want a jet only map so bad.
>>113495510Funny thing is I don't eat out and only go out maybe 2 times a week to hangout with people and don't spend money on anything even when I do.I'm very conservative in my money, which is why I asked.
>>113495410This. It would make hit detection so much better with minimal effort.
karkand/wake 24/7 serverdoesn't matter about these 9 maps
>no large forest based infantry focused maps>probably no cliffside helicopter insertions on basejump map>no island or fjord or lake based maps for awesome boating / island vs island infantry warfare>no large desert map for heavy vehicle and tank fights
>>113495767You have to admit the base jumping one will be fun as fuck.
>Only one night map>With no jetsPlease please please
>>113495783>Battlefield series>Tank fights>GoodPick two
>>113495811It's a gimmick t hat will just be annoying after the first 15 times
>>113495783There is a desert map, and an island map
>>113495915>gimmick
>>113496031>implying it isnthurr jumping from a cliff so strategic game mechanic
>>113496105Shut up I think it's fun here's why you are wrong:1. You are stupid2. I hate you3. Your opinion doesn't agree with mineI just like to jump off high things ;_;
>>113495811>Game starts>half of the attackers lose a chunk of their tickets right at the beginning due to retards.>other half of the retards then get in the helicopters and promptly crash them>attackers loose in 1min.Please don't happen.
>>113495943But the premise is all wrong. All it means is that attackers start outside the island, presumably on a carrier, and use a boat to get to the island where the real fight starts. It makes the whole element superfluous just like in BC2. Or just like caspian border, where all the open areas are between the bases and the flags. They're essentially pointless and are little more than parking spots for tanks and AA. Wasted space to give the impression of a large map.
>>113496270> attackers loose in 1minI thought they didn't let women in the military?
>>113496377>2011>being misogynist
>>113496270>Retards somehow summon a tank and drive it off the edge.
>>113496370>Map where defenders are in a small village somewhere in europe>Opposing team is on an aircraft carrier in the ocean>Big cargo planes that can carry ~10 men each>Piloted over the city, everyone jumps out to perform a parachute invasion>anti air guns>DAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKKAAK>falling through a hail of gunfire and shrapnel>deploy refrigerator and land
>>113496689>refrigeratorThe fuck? I meant parachute.
>>113496689oh lol
>>113496689>Deploy refrigerator
>>113496689> refrigeratorI think you need to go to sleep, man.
>>113496746
>>113496689>deploy refrigiratorI'm obviously missing something here.
>>113495674>oil platforms in the middle of the sea>boats>planes>yfw
>>113496689>deploy refrigerator
>>113496689>falling through a hail of gunfire and shrapnel>deploy refrigerator and land>b-be advised teach>spaghetti falls out of ammo pouches
>>113496689>2011>keeping your refrigerators in cargo planes
>>113491045Awesome, evne more awesome with the 4 free maps I'm going to get, holy fuck I'm excited.My only concern is, where can I use the Jets? I know I can use them in Operation Firestorm and Caspian Border, where else?
>>113497435> not keeping your spaghetti in your fridge.
>>113497534Oh godThat got me
>>113497534>not keepin your fridge in you ammo pouchHow would you deploy it then?
>>113497871>spaghetti falls out of my fridge
>>113496689>Deploy Refrigerator This could be cool
>BF3>vehicles>matterpick twoanything that allows all 3 is a godsend though
>>113497058>Uhh... be advised... uh a refrigerator has been spotted... stay frosty, over.
>>113498271
>>113497437>>113497437oh god i lol'd for like 5 min
>>113495898"I never played on el alamein, Aberdeen, let alone ever played desert combat, highway tampa in 2142, please rape my face"
>Enemy refrigerator spotted!
OP here, glad to see the thread hasn't derailed completely. To all the people saying 9 nine maps is BS...yes and no. Yeah BF1942 had 20 maps, but there is an argument in that all nine maps for BF3 are playable on all modes. Hate Rush all you want, Not a fan personallyit does change the nature of the map, if done correctly. I think the main thing to look out for is how much DICE supports BF3, even after the Karkand expansion. If we're talking years of new stuff here and there, I'll be satisfied.
>>113498486
>>113498432>Desert CombatFuck, what a brilliant mod. Does anyone know if it's still active? I know 1942 still has some active servers, anyone know about DC? I miss those buggies.
>>113498594But they aren't classic Battlefield maps. There is one map that could be classified as Battlefield, Caspian Border, which is even then not up to par compared to Battlefield 2 standards. The remaining 8 are Battlefield-CoD hybrids, and at least one, Operation Metro and possibly more, are straight up CoD maps.
>>113498773And how do you know that? Have you played the other 7?
>>113498773>Implying you've played all the maps.
>>113498594>I think the main thing to look out for is how much DICE supports BF3This is excatly what people should be focusing on. This happens with every single battlefield game>EA imposes ridiculous deadline>DICE has to meet it>DICE cuts features in order to meet release>EA is satisfied with the release and moves on to the next big release coming up, leaving DICE to fix the game
>>113498983They have described all the maps and Caspian Border is the only one they describe as a Battlefield map.
>>113499081>Hurrrr they described it as the only battlefield map because clearly the others aren'tOh fuck you lol Are you retarded? Just because some blurb says its a battlefield map doesn't mean everything else is automatically CoD maps
>mfw the guy whe first said refrigerator is quoting himself and is trying to start a bad meme.
>>113499263I said Battlefield-CoD hybrids which they very clearly are, except for Operation Metro which is a CoD map.
>>113499292>yfw the thread has already moved on and no one gives a shit
