Actually, Rush on these maps could be pretty fun, if they emphasize the verticality. There is a serious lack of vertical elements in BF3.

What do you mean one set? Just one M-com!
considering the map looks like its designed for Squad Rush then yeah that would make sense.
Maps looks to be a cluster.. but might be fun in some modes. But certainly not what I was hoping would be the first DLC in 6 months.
What they need to do is something similar to how Epic handles certain Gears maps where say on a building map it is slowly falling over until the end of the match when the building falls. Give us different elevations as the building falls over and then maybe 10 seconds of free fall as the match ends.
Then again that is over the top and stupid but I can see it being fun if that happened once in a while.

Surely they wouldn't shoehorn wildly different game modes into a map not suited for them.
... :lol ...
I'm still waiting for that rebalance of Frag Rounds to where it's only RPG/Grenade spam locking down choke points.

I'm going back to CS... fuck explosives.
I wouldn't mind Squad Rush evolving into a Search and Destroy/CS mode for casual play. One life to live with a 30 second bomb window and the bomb continues to be armed even after death a la freeze in Rush BF3 mode to where the defense/last person alive on defense has to defuse it during that 30 second window or something.
But lord knows people would abuse the "n00btube" and explosives just like they do in CoD's similar mode.

Looks kinda cool, but 4 maps is disappointing. I was hoping for 6.
I don't know, I think people might be overreacting. Sure, it's not the basic bf kind of map setup, but what if it's actually good?
I'd also like to see new vehicle unlocks. Bombs for planes and a missle defense system for ground vehicles would be fun.

Whenever this ethereal patch hits, rumors say that it reduces base rocket counts by one, and reduces infantry splash damage. I wonder if these changes were made with the DLC in mind.

You can almost guarantee that. The splash damage on infantry is already pretty low. Unless you hit them with the rocket, they wont die if at full health even at your feet.
Dat brown.damn didnt know imgur did that heres one hosted on minus enjoy

Doesn't make it look any less bland.

Metro Rush is still a lot better than Metro CQ Large. Rush has a way of making even the big maps feel small, although walking in between Caspian Rush points is a drag. I would pay $15 just to be able to respawn in a jeep anytime I wanted to.
I don't know how the gameplay will turn out but the CQ pack trailer really highlights how good the BF3 firefights are from an aesthetic standpoint. The graphics, sound, destruction, animation, particle effects... it's impressive.

Interesting news on the big patch. It's currently waiting for MS/Sony certification, and according to Battlefieldo, it could land next week.
Side note, I hate that this game was released for consoles. It really holds up the patching process. I wish they'd separate the PC and console development so that us Master Race people get upgrades and what not faster.
Edit: To the poster above, yes, the whole B2K expansion is excellent. They did screw up the F35 though. It's a flying coffin.

I don't recall console and PC patches being in lock step. Seems like they're synchronizing the big patch for promotional reasons.

The F35 is such a joke of a jet. Just get rid of the hovering ability and it would be a bit better. Trying to slow down for a turn and starting the hovering mode is just too frustrating.

Yeah, that's stupid. They should have released the PC patch by now. I am hoping it's massive and fixes everything that it's rumored to address.

they need to make hover it's own button or mode or something.
Patch notes say they are going to tweak it but I wonder how. As it is right now it seems as the gun on the F-35 has a little bit higher damage output than Su-35/F-18. Especially against infantry.
Sometimes it's great, you can hover with the jet right next to a Havoc and take it out fairly easy. But I'd much rather want them to just make it identical to the the other fighter jets, so you would actually have a chance in dogfights. Those sluggish gun rounds are sometimes painful to hit jets with.

The 3 people on earth who still use the flashlight are hardly a problem.Nope.
Fixed, bro. Nerf didn't do shit. It's still glareful even in the goddamn sun.

well, nobody uses flashlights because they are too busy rocking a FAMAS with Foregrip/Suppressor or USAS with extended mag.

First everyone complains that there isn't enough destruction now everyone wants to remove all the weapons that cause destruction.
Second that, yesterday I only saw a single guy with a flashligt during 3 hours of playing.
Jus sayin
Almost no one uses them on the 360. Must be a PS3 issue.
With so many other better attachments nobody in their right mind would use something as useless as a flashlight.
1) yes
2) disc version? What disc version
3) it's against the tos but if he isn't logged in at the same time they wouldn't know.
Pfft, the flashlight is a damn force field I tell ya! So many times I'm being blinded by a flashlight, in broad daylight, and I shoot exactly under his red little tag... and it's like I hit nothing. I swear it must be a "you're supposed to be disoriented/blinded by that thar flashlight in your eyes, so shooting the enemy should be hard."
Destruction within reason is fine. The issue most people have is that with no destruction the explosives are unchecked. But on small maps like these CQC even with destruction it would just make it worse.
Enlighten me, what third perk (other than the laser) is there? Heavy Barrel?
Why exclude the laser?
