Are the maps in this game (Conquest mode) as bad as everyone says? I've already felt burnt once by MW3, where the maps are horrendous.

With B2K in one week (today on ps3) the map pool is pretty decent.

i've got an idea that i might have seen Sniper Rifle tracers in this guys long-range sniping video in BF3 on caspian? Someone on GAFposted it and everyone went insane about how good he was.

Here it is Found it.

BTW his last 3 kills on Operation Firestorm are NOT edited together, the rest should be, look at the ammo counter to tell when he cuts if you can't hear. The guy is talking in the video, maybe you can use the [CC] on youtube to read what he says.

-That said, if you are hearing impaired and BF3's tracers are too small or nearly nonexistant to aid you then I'd suggest you either re-setup your sniper so you can stay scoped and watch the round hit/miss OR try other methods of killing if sniping is frustrating you too much in a round or something. No use getting pissed over a game bro.

Some amazing sniping, but still the bullet velocity needs to be upped to real speeds with matched low drag ammunition. I want to see the 2000m+ kills

I smiled when "I like to TYPE IN ALL CAPS" came up. The text chat is totally me. :lol

I somehow always accidentally turn caps on but never accidentally turn it off again. So every time I go to type I have to do it again to in lower case.

*shakes fist* My beloved maps will arrive one week later because I play on PC. *shakes two fists*

i'm sure that right after the PC update tomorrow, there will be PC servers running the B2K maps unofficially...

 

[TheSeks]

Did that happen with the "VIP" maps in BC2?

Also Cuban: That dude is really good with the ballistic scope. I can't use that for anything other than "this is where the bullet will hit" mid-close range sniping since the guns fall far too short for that scope or hell the 7x either. And yeah, there's tracers there. But it's still hard to see when unscoped.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Sniper rifles don't need improvements, the recon class should have it's points adjusted for doing it's roles. They make little points compared to other classes doing their job, they should get bonuses for using their equipment to compensate and bring them in line with the points the others can generate.

yeah, buff the motion assist points, buff the spot assist points, buff the laser targeting points.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

yeah, buff the motion assist points, buff the spot assist points, buff the laser targeting points.

I hope they actually focus on making it useful first. The most recent update made it turn slow as balls (which with a mouse is especially bad) and the range is pitiful. Everytime I pick the SOFLAM I always end up thiking, "Why did I even bother?"

I unlocked the P90 today - pretty nice gun right there. I grabbed a kit with the ASVAL (not sure if thats correct name) rifle. That thing is a monster. I'm in a rush to unlock that now, can't wait.

 

[HotHamWater]

Update is up for downloading on PC. Restart Origin if you've got it going.

[CozMick]

[Patrick Bateman]

Look at it this way, no dinner interruptions

 

[leng jai]

Mine says 3.9GB as well. B2K content?

 

[HotHamWater]

It was always supposed to have B2K content, but they announced it'd be 2GB.

 

[Nabs]

Large ass patch.

 

[Cobra84]

Mine says 3.9GB as well. B2K content?

Yes, it's in the Battlefield 3\Update\Xpack1 folder.

Unless a server figures out how to get the maps working, I'm going to feel like this all week.

 

[derFeef]

"Patch the content today, play next week!"

 

[HotHamWater]

Playstation Blog Twitter says B2K should be live at noon (hour and a half).

Chats better and ping on the scoreboard finally. I forget if these were in the notes.

 

[mr_nothin]

Everything about this patch is :O

• Better netcode (with help of network smoother slider)
• Toggle chat box to always on | always hidden | popup
• SOOO SMOOOTH
• Seperate vehicle sensitivity
• Much better text/font used
• Chatbox is soo great now that i leave it on (much better placement)
• Burst > Full Auto = omg!
• Ping on scoreboard

So many things they got right with this patch

 

[Jburton]

Playstation Blog Twitter says B2K should be live at noon (hour and a half).

Oh yeah baby, just under half an hour to go!

 

[Broder Salsa]

How big is this fucking patch? 3.9gb downloading for me.

Edit : lol see everyone are getting that, ffs DICE.

 

[Audioboxer]

Is there a new PS3 patch coming? (not the DLC).

 

[Nabs]

Yeah, the chatbox is finally decent again.

The FOV felt a little weird, maybe it's because I haven't bothered launching this game in weeks.

 

[HotHamWater]

Edit : lol see everyone are getting that, ffs DICE.

Patch is like 800mb in files, B2K is 2.9gb. Don't know why they said it was 2GB.

 

[Nabs]

I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but the MAV felt pretty good last round. I'll test it out tonight in some CQ.

 

[HotHamWater]

Burst is sooooo good. Finally gonna use the M16A4 for a while. Maybe check out whether the AN-94 is less useless.

That's a third party account.

[Ikuu]

Not sure why they couldn't make B2K an optional update so I could grab it overnight or something, rather than having to download 4GB.

 

[Jburton]

Downloading now!

10 mins to go.

[EarsOfASnake]

So, odds of PC servers running B2K before the 'official' release?

Not in the US, you bastard.

Did you use the search for "Back to Karkand"? That's what I did.
