PS3 Users Get Battlefield 3 Expansion First

[SL33TBL1ND]

Well that's a nice change, I guess. How about just releasing it to everyone at the same time instead?

 

[Whoracle]

Wait, am I understanding this right?

You pay for the expansion stuff, which you then have to unlock in-game?
As in "You pay for the privilege of being allowed to unlock something"?

What has the gaming industry come to?

I bet they would like a copy of 1943 instead of being allowed to pay early.

At least this adds more than just 5 maps for 15$.

[small][sub]*cough cough* first *cough cough*[/sub][/small]

yeah instead the map pack contains just 4 MAPS. and some new weapons

*sigh* although i have to put my hands up this whole CoD Vs. BF thing. it's now become an Middle East Conflict, neither sides are willing to give in and almost everyone has an opinion.

 

[Leg End]

People, 1943 can be had now! EA is fixing this issue! Let it go!

Yes, by having a one day only program with different days for each region and barely doing anything to tell people about it for a promise that it would be included on disc for ALL PS3 copies of the game.

That certainly fixes it.

OT: Well, this'll be good as I'm getting a new controller soon.

VIBRATION, HOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I know WTF!
what am doing is when its out am opening a ticket thing with that support thing they have and explain this to them.
saying I've got it why do i have to play to unlock them just seems kinda cheap.

I will say I dont have time to play all that much with kids the wife and work. can you please unlock them for me.

1 of 2 things will happen.

$15 for just remakes of old maps?

Why are the stupid FPS game DLC so expensive......I think $10 should be the max you can charge..higher if its an Expansion...then again people would name em and roll em out as expansions instead....

Battlefield 3 Expansion Pack: Karkand

 

[Sixties Spidey]

So you guys ***** about this and not BC2: Vietnam because...?

 

[Wolfram23]

Should be free. Sigh.

Good news for me anyway is I don't play it enough to be bored of the maps already there... barely even know their layouts yet lol!

I was capturing flags like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. Now I'm an adventurer

actually, I think EA/DICE went back and agreed to give 1943 to the PS3 crowd, either immediately, or along with the launch of the expansion pack.


OT: Meh, I can wait, Im already tired of getting killed by no-skill engineers and their god damned Rocket Launchers.

Meh, I'm packing Javelin, using it for vehicles, dont need to waste explosives on enemies I can aim my gun tbh.

I am sick of those no talent supports with their god damn mortars from out of attackers combat area spamming the objective so you basically cant win.

Do miss the good days when Recon could blow shit up when nobody felt like sitting still.
Not being funny but I went back to BC2 today, found a full server, was fucking glorious. Far less tedious than when you end up against noob rocket spammers and prone diving bitches that dont realise rush isnt team death match.

I always hear people complaining about getting rocket spammed, but in my 20 hours online, I can safely say that I've been killed in pretty normal ways. Never rocket spammed. Only time I get rocketed is when I'm crouched in a building trying to take a flag in Conquest, but that just makes sense. And it has only happened about 3 times. Everyone else I've talked to is also curious about this rocket spamming, since it never happens to them.

Do people get killed by the rocket launcher once and immediately cry out that it was rocket spam? I wonder.

I'll wait the extra week, since I have it on 360. I am extra excited for it, though.

Actually, me and my squad just rage-quit a TDM server due to the sheer amount of rocket spam.

When we didn't get killed by a rocket, it was a M320.


I wouldn't ocmplain about it much if they reduced the damage vs. infantry that the rockets do, since for example the RPG-7V2 can either use Thermobaric warheads or anti-vehicle warheads, that being the anti tank warheads have a very small splash damage radius since it is for primarily penetrating armor, and the Thermobaric warheads for increased anti-personel use.

The main difference between the two is that they are very ineffective against the others effective target.

So either the rockets need to do less damage to vehicles, or they need to do less damage to infantry.


Besides that, the Engineers carbines need to have a reduced damage as well since they are not full fledged assault rifles, but still more powerful than the PDW's. I cant count the times that someone with the SCAR was able to kill be at longer ranges while I was using an Assault Rifle or LMG.

To be fair the SCAR-H uses a bigger round than alot of the assault rifles do and in reality it's closer to a G3 than an M4 in terms of range and firepower.
I'll admit the G36 is overpowered, but I use the SG553 in all it's neutral chocolatey glory

 

[The White Hunter]

Also, this is free if you bought the game new nearish launch? So alot of people arent gonna be poaying... now the next dlc, oooh boy, that will be overpriced.

Also this expansion has really crap trophies. Much like BF3 itself.
Now Resistance 3 was a fun trophy set, I mean who doesnt love a pointless digital trinket for blowing up a santa decoration from a boat while being overrun by Grims and Longlegs?
