I feel the same way, but I read that the most popular map is Operation Metro. I would say it's more of a reaction to that than anything else. I'll admit I like operation metro myself, but I didn't know it was this popular. I'm down for the new maps hope they keep balancing so that USAS-12 doesn't take them over.

The only reason why that is so (especially on PC) is that it's the easiest map to pad stats. 10,000-15,000XP in a round easy -without even killing an opponent. 
Anyway, the optimist in me wants to say that with this DLC, they're trying to beat Activision at their own game. But most probably this is more likely to please the COD kiddies. They made BF3 wack.

Word is that there's not going to be a Rush mode in the "Close Quarters" DLC.

New mode: Conquest Domination. Why do I have a feeling this mode will be similar to CoD's?

what else is there other than "normal"?

Looking forward to the new DLC. Like Operation Metro the best class for the team will be the Medic. I rarely am an Engineer in Operation Metro.
Get a couple of team members up and running again and kill a few enemies as a Medic(assault).

infantry and hardcore

what's that about?
i don't have pc version only ps3

 

[zk1mpls]

Engineer is easiest to get used to. Definitely love taking out tanks and helis with my RPG.

But for infantry only, Assault is your best bet. For Metro Conquest 64... the MG36 or the USAS-12 with frags (kidding).

Def is, RPG with repair tool in huge maps is the best combo unless you've mastered the Sniper and that damn MAV equipment.

I read that being a Recon with the SOFLAM helps the engineers with their Javelin's, any one tried that out yet ? If so is it a big improvement for your team ?

i have no idea because every time i try to play on that difficulty no one is ever playing... like i said everyone is on normal.. 
maybe people don't know about it 

 

[spidermachine916]

chances are high that no one knows about it...
i'm 215 hours in playing this and i JUST hear about it now

 

[Junok]

I don't know who i was just running with an hour ago, but damn, we was getting lit up! 

. Our team weren't doing crap!

Nothing more satisfying than successfully RPG-ing a Jet or a Helicopter.

Well, taking out a chopper pilot with a sniper rifle headshot is up there, too.

For the SOFLAM... yeah.. it's a big help. It renders jet/heli flares basically useless. one-hit disable... one-hit kill sometimes.

Just hard to set up a team with SOFLAM + JAVELIN since PC doesn't have VOIP for randoms.

Yup... BF3 has hardcore mode. Makes it easier to kill and die, basically.
Once my brand new GPU comes by next weekend... I'll be back on the battlefield.

If you're on the PS3 for BF3... squad up with SPIDER and yallayalla and JPTHE3 (where you at?

). These guys know what they're doing. 

 

[adrian1221]

Some guy was camping while the rest of the team was getting destroyed on conquest. Every time we had to respawn in our own base we would pass by the camping sniper. He never died nor did he get killed. so out of no where, since our tickets were low and game was almost over the whole team came over and started shooting him

Obviously you cant kill your own teammate but it was hilarious to see that happening

 

[juiceesquire]

My squad >>>>> All of NT

The goons know. We'll murk anythang movin breh

-The Juice

 

[yallayalla]

good game spider

[spidermachine916]

it's like my grenade.

add me up on Battlelog/Origin: zk1mpls
Can't game now... but my EVGA GTX 680 should be here by the weekend. And I got to re-install BF3 first since I installed a new SSD. Hopefully makes playing sweeter.

Disclaimer: I'm not as good on PC than on PS3. Guess my Battlelog profile makes that apparent.

^^^Money man. They wanna make more money. It is a business after all

Well, you PS3 guys luck out again: the "February Patch" comes out today. One week later for us. DICE charging more $$$ for content.

Wake Island alternative 5-flag layout on PS3


Included in today's update is a new 5-flag layout for Wake Island, based on community feedback. Enjoy!
After a lot of constructive feedback about how we can improve your Back to Karkand experience, we have added a 5-flag Conquest Assault variant for PS3 on Wake Island. This new flag layout will offer a more tactical gameplay where key bases can turn the tide of the battlefield! Another change in this variant is that the mobile Anti-air now spawns at the Beach base. This now makes the Beach base a very important tactical advantage to own, besides the close distance towards the airfield.

To find this new layout on PS3, search for Conquest Assault and Wake Island and look out for the “CQA Day 2
