[swendro]

Would love to see a WWII expansion pack. I would love to see any new content, frankly. Any news?

 

[fresh prince of nowhere]

That update is looking good. Being able to see the mines before their spotted almost made them useless against vehicles. That fix and the EDO bot with better controls will move me back to the engineer class

for me a way to counter them are having a higher rate of fire gun, famas or f200 of anything higher than 900rpm...

Reports indicate that will be some announcements incoming at GDC (which is happening this week).


By the way, I've already sold my PS3. And my rig's GTX 560 Ti GPU died last Ash Wednesday (with me consequently giving up PC gaming for Lent

). Waiting for the replacement. Man, 12 days on... I'm really itching to play! 

 

[sole vintage]

did they fix the control lag on the ps3? feels like killzone 2

Actually, the PS3 was my brother's and we got a pretty good offer for it. Running two BF3 profiles may be a chore, but it wasn't a factor in the sale. Still probably am twice as good on PS3 than on PC. 

 It really didn't make any more financial sense in owning one for us, so we sold it while it's still "hot" over here. Two PS3s over four years. Never really copped any other console twice. Anyway, it was a good bunch of runs with you guys. 

Yeah, I know. 

 Part of me still wishes we sold it after I get my replacement GPU back in a couple of weeks (and sell that one to cop the new ones releasing later this month)... or after Lent. 

Too bad nobody really runs on NT BF3 PC anymore these days.

good lord... EA/DICE is whack. June? 

[h1]Battlefield 3: Close Quarters announced for June, two more packs incoming[/h1]

Battlefield 3: Close Quarters was announced at an EA event last night for this upcoming June, the first major paid piece of DLC for the game since last December's "Back to Karkand." The expansion includes four maps, 10 weapons and no vehicles -- it's about close quarters, after all.

There will be two more expansions for the game following the June expansion -- one called "Armored Kill," which will focus on weapons and larger maps, with new drivable vehicles. The second pack, entitled "End Game," which EA isn't sharing hardly any details on, does feature cover art with some crazy tripping lunatic holding a knife on it.

The news of this expansion couldn't come soon enough. Frustrations in the Battlefield 3community had been bubbling into potential action, as EA maintained radio silence as long as possible about any expansion plans after the "Back to Karkand" maps launched in mid-December.

Confirmed by EA/DICE. June it is.

The HD Destruction in Close Quarters lets players riddle the environment with bullets, reducing entire locales to ruin. Everything from furniture to plaster can be shot to pieces, and players can see the result of the mayhem as rubble and broken pieces pile up on the floor.

The tight level design and many opportunities for vertical gameplay mean players will need to bring their A game if they want to stay alive in this highly competitive theater of war.

Battlefield 3: Close Quarters will be available on PC, PlayStation[emoji]174[/emoji]3, and Xbox 360[emoji]8482[/emoji] June 2012. Head to theBattlefield Blog for details on our other upcoming expansion packs Battlefield 3[emoji]8482[/emoji]: Armored Kill and Battlefield 3[emoji]8482[/emoji]: End Game.

Return to this page on March 13th for more information.

I can't decide what sucks more about that announcment, the fact that we have to wait till june or that the entire expansion is for infantry only maps. This is battlefield. Why the hell would i want infantry only maps?

 

[zk1mpls]

^ To cater to the COD crowd, obviously.

I hope that "Armored Kill" would be interesting. 6 months for a DLC, though. They're stretching the content out too far. God know's who'd still be playing come June-December.

Might be playing Arma III by then.

More tanks, helis, and jets, DICE!

Not knowing when the supposed massive "February Patch" would be released sucks more, to be honest.

 

[zk1mpls]

Close Quarters gameplay:
looks kinda meh...

 

[ricerocket1]

Im still waiting for the patch

 

[zk1mpls]

^ Yup. Same here.


Actually, I'm waiting on my GPU more than anything... so I can flip it already and cop the next-gen ones coming in a month's time. Trying to keep myself occupied without PC gaming... which is quite a challenge so far.

 

[spidermachine916]

don't think i'll get the first dlc
but DEF. the "armored kill" dlc

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Not crazy about tight maps. If I wanted that I will play COD. Intrigued about the latter two map packs coming out though.

 

[zk1mpls]

That level kinda looks like Rainbow Six.

New "Close Quarters" DLC Trailer
thing looks like a COD x Rainbow Six mashup to be honest. Might cop just because I want new maps to play with. 

 

[yallayalla]

i can see everybody using USAS-12 in that map already

 

[spidermachine916]

that trailer makes it look good. but yalla has a point.
i didn't get bf3 for close quarters, i'll wait for the 3 dlc

lmao

still I gotta say the trailer got me kinda hyped. I play a lot of team deathmatch too.


Does anyone here use their mic when playing BF3??

I was thinking about buying 1 but I'm not sure yet. Also who's GT is KING AZANA on here on NT?
My GT is Nujabez add me if you guys want. One of these days we should maybe play as an NT squad or something.
