It's a shame I never got the LE. Don't have the map pack.

But yeah, this game is awesome.

The B2K maps are worth buying, though I felt a little ripped off for how expensive they were for just four maps.

[EvilsergE]

There is no fascination, it's CoD, and people will pay for everything CoD related. Activision knows this.

[EvilsergE]

I ended up buying the ultimate edition or whatever it's called.

Also, I didn't hop into that game till way later....

[harryfrodo]

I bought the game in December at reduced cost, so it wasn't that bad to throw down extra for the maps.

But I still think $15 for four maps is a little steep, even if I use the B2K weapons a lot.

[EvilsergE]

I'm waiting for $50 PSN card in mail. I'll have my maps then.

I love this game, but I really hate some of the cheap strategies people use to win games.

The spawn-killing helicopters make playing Conquest really not very fun, and the shotgun frag rounds are #### ridiculous. Like MW2 ####-12 plus a thousand times infinity (ward) ridiculous.

Especially when you're on maps like Operation Metro or Grand Bazaar and everybody is using USAS + frag rounds. It's almost impossible to move anywhere.

[Kakashi_Sensei18]

Read on the battlelog that DICE are finally doing something about the USAS, and a horde of other fixes.

What I remember is that the USAS will now have increased recoil for frag rounds, smaller clip (9 instead of 12 with extended mag) and buckshot and flachette rounds now have a much smaller effective range.

Not sure if they have reduced the range on the frag rounds, as well this is what the main problem is.

[DorkusMaximus]

I think they're reducing the rate of fire for frag rounds too.

Wasn't that for all shotguns bar the USAS and MK3(whatever it is)?

I recall reading that they still want those two being a high rate of fire because thats what they are supposed to be like or something.

[harryfrodo]

Interestingly enough, my rage over the USAS has subsided and the past couple days I've played a bit of Battlefield 3 ... and no one is using it anymore.

People still spawn kill the jets though. Guess it can't be helped. They've only been doing that strategy for like eight years.

Yep, you're right. I read it wrong.

In other news, new DLC could be coming out soon. Link

[DorkusMaximus]

New DLC has been announced. Link

[JQuest15]

New DLC Is Nice , and i like how the PS3 is finally getting some love. (Comes Out earlier for PS3)

But as soon as i saw the map, all i could think of, is the USAS, and Frag Rounds.

.........Fvck, that is not going to be fun.

[RPD]

That close quarters mod is gonna be sweet...

[DeathInACan]

eh, not really excited
I think it's gonna be super linear and clusterfuuuuuudge-y, like OpMetro

However I am really excited for the Armored Kill pack, that'll be awesome
I'm hoping they'll throw in a remake of Heavy Metal from BC2

[RPD]

Got back into it a couple days ago. Just a couple more ranks and I'll finally have that black camo...

[EvilsergE]

Hot damm, that is a sex trailer.

Also, I am sure I'm the only one who noticed, but I love how you can actually see wall studs when destroying a wall, instead of just a hall in it....

[harryfrodo]

I don't think so.

The USAS-12 really hasn't been so heavily abused lately, at least on the Xbox 360 side of things. I'm actually just glad to see less vehicle maps. I realize that vehicles are a huge part of Battlefield, as they always have been, but some maps are just so annoying to play on due to how they've handled vehicle mechanics in this installment. Conquest can be pretty much unplayable if you join a match mid-session and everyone is camping the helicopter and the other team is blowing up all your jets.

I only play Battlefield 3 when I have at least three friends online to run a full squad, but even then that's rarely enough to win unless the other team is full of randoms.

Rush, on the other hand, is another story. But that gets dull after a while.

[RPD]

Got the Spec Ops camo and the USAS a few days ago...

[RPD]

Why is it whenever there's a guy who can take an entire clip and not die he's always from Hong Kong?

[RPD]

Update's out and I don't know what to make of it. Didn't like having to reset all my kits, I know that...

Yeah that was pretty annoying. I'm really liking how suppression works now.

Have you noticed a difference in the F2000? Seems like it's harder to burst at long range...

Yeah alot of the guns I'm still getting readjusted to. The M1014 is beastly now thought.

[harryfrodo]

I take it the FAMAS has been gimped?
