Was conquest ever adjusted on consoles so that the ticket count will decrease more rapidly when you control more points, or were they never planning on changing that?
Yup.

Its pretty awesome now.

Dunno, it seems that rush games are just going faster and faster every day, the attackers just get better and faster at rolling through the defense and mcoms it seems on PC.

Olimpia might know for sure, he plays Conquest a lot. We were playing some the other night and regularly locked down all 3 or 3/4 and the games went really fast.

Thanks guys :).

Oh, and what was that 200+MB optional update on 360 about? A quick search seemed to turn up that, at the moment, it does nothing?

It has bug fixes and some lighting changes on a couple of maps i think.

I started to enjoy the game less when my rank rose towards 30. I had the feeling that my skill wasn't represented by my rank. I still think games are less relaxed than they were when I had a lower rank. But my skill has risen so that I can enjoy it a bit more.

My god. Can you imagine? Starting off against infantry, then ATVs/transport vehicles, then light tanks, heavy tanks, then choppers...would be fucking awesome.

Holy shit, DICE please make this.

Isn't that exactly what Onslaught is? Each level gets progressively harder with the AI getting vehicles in the later levels? I thought it was like that anyway.

Just dug up that Onslaught gameplay interview vid on youtube, it's kinda like a single m-com rush vs. AI. You advance from your base and capture objectives along the way.

edit: there's a timer counting UP in the lower left corner. And despite what the guy from DICE says, it tracks time down to 1/10th of a second (it's right on the screen).

Onslaught Launch Trailer

Im at work so im buying it tonight =/

Same here, stuck at work. I might wait for some impressions before buying.

Pixelenemy has some E3 footage of Onslaught up (allll sniper action)

edit: I'm wondering what the minimum number of players to start an Onslaught match is. 2? 4? The guys time is past 15 minutes in the e3 vid, people are gonna be farming points like crazy if there's no limit.

Maybe i can get the rest of my d 2.0 kills???

The only thing I care about is the ability to steal a helicopter and infinitely destroy a pool of AI defenders without a time or ticket limit. I'd rather have the comp stomp dropped in my lap, but if I have to work for it slightly so be it. Don't care at all about the high-score leaderboards and frankly I'd assume most of the guys who would are the same ones who've been chopper raping on Atacama since day one.

That would work for me. I've been dying for a sandbox to practice things in.

wat

That's preposterous.

Blasphemy!

Ok, fine. If green buys it, I'll buy it.

Heh heh.
Only thing that bothers me is the lag issues in the other modes, I'd buy this in a heartbeat otherwise.

Yea, that's what's holding me back. I want to see if it's going to be laggy/crashy/shitty/worth the purchase before I buy it.

That's why I expect a comprehensive review from some of our more liberal spenders on here (hi Fersis) :D

Will wait for your impressions then, are you playing tonight?
Ill try to.
Dont know how big the download is. Maybe its just an unlock?
 
Erasus said:
Anyone else a little bored when all the stuff is unlocked? :lol

Once I hit 22 I really stopped caring as much as I already had all my pins. I also got 1000/1000 achievements. Now I'm playing to get my SPECACT weapon achievements and I'm 3/4 on them. Just need 40 more kills with the Sniper rifle and I can do that in one night playing defense Rush on hardcore.

Oh, and I'll wait for impressions for Onslaught. My friends stopped playing this game so I want to see how it is going Lone Wolf style first.

Blasphemy. The reason I started and loved playing Battlefield with 1942 was because of leader boards, unlocks, achievements, ranks and points.

I'll wait for the fixes with the lag to buy it. Just a bit burned out at the moment,


Looks like 360 won't even be getting it today anyway.

The new co-op game mode, Onslaught is available on PlayStation 3 in North America from today and tomorrow (Wednesday 23rd) in Europe.

Xbox 360 owners will be able to pick up Onslaught mode in the very near future and we are also still investigating the possibility of Onslaught coming to PC.

I find unlocking boring. The game only becomes fun once you feel like you are not being restricted.

the opposite for me. i was getting bored playing the 'unlock meta-game' and was extremely happy to finally start playing the real game when i was done.
Same here.
COD set this awful standard of unlocking,progress,stats and all that jazz.

Conquest feel so different now on console with the faster ticket bleed.

yeah, it's like 4 seconds a ticket now.

Onslaught Mode: BOUGHT!

Its a 100 KB unlock key, so the mode was on the 1.03 or 1.04 patch.

Looks like EA made a timed-exclusivity deal with Sony for some stuff and also some other exclusivity deal when we think about other PS3 exclusive things too (MoH beta delay on 360, Dead Space 2 with Extinction and MoH with MoH: Frontline HD)
it's probably just incompetence. why wouldn't they tout an exclusive deal like Activision/MS? if it actually was an exclusive and they just didn't say so, it just makes makes them look incompetent, which is almost as bad as the alternative.

Played some Conquest matches with Olimpia84 and we had 0 lag.
Looks like the server side mainteinance helped a little bit :D

Onslaught Mode Impressions:
- No lag if youre host
- No lag if you are not host but you may see some weird hit detection. (Nothing crazy)
- I played on Normal difficulty and it was a good challenge... so hardcore must be a beast.
- Loooots of stuff explosions and bullets flying all over the place.
- It seems to be crazy fun with a full GAF squad.
- You can play it all by yourself.
