So the 10 new weapons in B2K are basically unlocked through these "challenges"

Unlocked for the main game. You can unlock them for B2K as normal.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh deal with it. I like the idea of them. They get you to play in a different way from how you normally play and your rewards are significant too. It'll give me something new to play for after I have all the classes completely unlocked. It'll be fun.

I've done most of the stuff they want in one round. I seriously hope they don't expect two mortars plus LMG kills in a round again just to get my B2K guns.

 

[CozMick]

SA-80, FUCK YEAH GAF!!!

 

[Mothman91]

Damn, EA delivers one each trailer they release. DAT DESTRUCTION. On a side note, have they said anything about how big this DLC will be on the consoles?

 

[commish]

Yeah but that's just it - the requirements aren't exactly burdensome. If it was "200 assault rifle kills", then that'd be pretty annoying, but 20 LMG kills and 2 mortars is no biggie. I like unlocking stuff anyways.

I know they are unlocked for it all, but how you unlock the weapons in general. They adding more levels for everything to unlock? Assume that these are how universal unlocks in all expansions will be handled then.

Am I the only one still experiencing the game crashes after every round?

Anyone else still unable to load up the campaign?

Ridiculous that they've done like no patching yet.

I was getting this before, someone earlier in the thread suggested that if you just leave it at the score screen between rounds it won't crash, which seems to work for me.

So don't check your ribbons or kits or anything like that. Sucks I know, but it seems to work until they patch it at least.

 

[Xcellere]

A new trailer for the Back to Karkand map pack... I want it now! http://youtu.be/xjTmieRMKjo

Dear DICE,

Why, in the name of all that is good, would you not include this level of destruction in the vanilla game? Your decisions baffle me.

With love,
Me

P.S.

Nah, it's been doing this since launch day. Happening to an absolute ton of people if the BF boards are anything to go by. Usually "this program has stopped working" before it even says "your team won/lost"

Or that means he will give us the ETA next week which could be in 6 months lol. Please remember that we are talkinga bout zh1nt0 here heh...

 

[blahblah...blah]

My plan is to beast Skyrim until this comes out, and then I can revert back to BF3 (which I haven't played since the 10th!)

 

[ziadoz]

I hope this patch fixes the PS3 input lag bug. I still can't enjoy the game as much as I'd like because of it.

I'm probably in the minority concerning "balancing" the IRNV. It's already only a 1X zoom scope. What could be done to it without making it useless - maybe reduce the heat detection range?

 

[Doc Holliday]

I think this is a good idea. Too many "how the fuck did he see me" moments right now. It just makes it too easy too see everyone. What's the point of all the foliage and urban debris if you can see people right away. Also I wish the Soflam would stay up even if you die.

Put on spec ops camo, it greatly reduces your IR signature.

 

[Strummerjones]

I have a nagging feeling that the bridge on Karkand won't be destructable.

I think it's fine, but does need to not be as great as it is. Stuff like a big burning fire should really screw up the scope for example, but it doesn't do anything. Heat sources outside of player bodies don't properly register, and real IRNV is nowehre as clear as it is game. It also has an incredible range. I can snipe and spot targets further away easier with 1x IRNV than I can with a 4x scope.

Except that it makes you easier to see for those not using IR. Black is a horrible camo color as it stands out more than anything

Just got banned from a TG pistol only server. :/

I don't even know why.

Reducing the range would be a start, make it useless for longer ranges. Maybe tone the contrast down a bit and have the sun interfere with your vision like the flash light does.

Do you watch yourself play? I'd ban you if too mr. 2.61 KD ratio and 561 SPM

Spoiler

seriously how to hell do you rack up kills so quickly!

Hardly, in urban, low light and shadows your very well hidden. The only time you aren't is if you're runnning across an open sunlit field in caspian in which case you should be killed.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Dear dumb player laying in the bush prone camping. Yes, you got me the first time because you are a lucky camper but please don't be dumb enough to stay there since the killcam shows me your location. You know what... please stay there as I need more kills for the gun I'm leveling. And please... when you respawn, go back to the exact same place you were.

Idiots

Sounds like he got you more than once.

also play hardcore

 

[mr_nothin]

WTF @ guided missles + CITV being an unbeatable lock-on? Flares dont work and below radar doesnt work :/

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

I vote for getting rid of IRNV all together.

Nope. I respawned and threw a grenade into the bush and actually got a double kill because his idiot friend started camping with him.

I am a tired and true hardcore player but don't switch over until I max out my classes and feel I have an excellent idea of the ins and outs of the maps.

 

[Metalmurphy]

WTF @ guided missles + CITV being an unbeatable lock-on? Flares dont work and below radar doesnt work :/

Hum, neither of those work on air targets so... flares? oO


*edit* Oh nm. You meant guided shells. Yeah they're a pita

 

[BattleMonkey]

Most of the game is in brightly lit places, and a reason most people find the flashlight useless. The IRNV biggest issue is how good it is at any range to spot people, and in the large maps the black stealth camo sticks out badly in regular view. The obscuring of the stealth camo is also pretty useless, even at range the IRNV picks out people quite easily. The "stealth" effect is also less effective on some classes.

I vote for getting rid of IRNV all together.

If we remove everything people keep saying to remove, there wouldn't be much game left.

 

[Metalmurphy]

EMC Jammer?

That's got to be the most useless unlock ever. It lasts like 2 seconds.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Is that another rush version of Davamand Peak?

apparently, there was a 5th section that didn't make the final cut...

 

[bluedeviltron]

Can someone explain to me what the fuck is going on every time my tank suddenly decides to go 1 mph while guys are shooting rockets at me? Before it gets disabled, I mean. I could be at 100% health and out of nowhere I'm stuck in molasses.

Engineer gadget I'm not aware of?

i vote for buffing IRNV with 4x zoom.

What else needs to be removed besides IRNV? Nothing else is even near as game breaking as that scope is.

Demize is hard at work on that, I'm sure.

More Rush? 24/7 Operation Metro maps? A mystery!

 

[RibbedHero]

Demize said in his reddit AMA that he'd rather nerf the IRNV to the ground than remove it, which I totally understand. You don't ever remove content from a game. Even if its grossly nerfed, it'd still have its uses, and adds variety to the game.

 

[Radec]

Just got back to play BF3 again after sucking my time on MW3, and wow. I totally sucked at my first game. I think I went 2-8 or something. Totally forgot how to play this game.

Then the next games are a different story. Went like 28-4 or so on the next matches.

Feels good to be back.

 

[DTKT]

I almost never play Metro

Good. It's in definite need of adjustment, but I think the whole thing is grossly overstated.

more game breaking? at mine bug? prone? invincible m-com stations?

 

[DTKT]

Are you saying that explosive should harm MCOM station?

 

[The Faceless Master]

Are you saying that explosive should harm MCOM station?

that and no prone. would make rush less like a national park and more like six flags.

 

[-Stranger-]

I've seen some people getting 40-50 kills each round lately, man the best i've done so far was around 21-17 and my k/d ratio is 0.63 i'm working on improving

 

[DTKT]

Sounds like you want BC2.

 

[commish]

I almost never play Metro

I was looking up the "top" players the other day, and I came across a guy who had over 5000 kills in Tanks (in each of both types). His entire playlist was the Dam map. Another guy had nothing but Metro.

I never understand how some people can get so many more kills than me. Obviously there are many, many players better than me, but even when I do very well, I just don't even SEE as many enemies as they kill.

 

[The Faceless Master]

nah, i want BC3.

 

[desu]

This. I dont really get the IRNV hate and some people even want it removed from the game ... god they will nerf it to total uselessness just because of too many whiners.
