BTW ill make a highlight reel of tonights gaming. i got some good bits. ill try and get it done tomorrow after work

Oh so my buddies are all playing again. Does that mean tomorrow night I can count on some TPU buds on BF3 and not Arma BS night ? I get my new laptop tomorrow and gonna play around and see how it does. Fucking newegg is incredible. I ordered it Tuesday Night and it was sent from NJ and I get it tomorrow. It is a refurbed, but I think I have any glitch figured out already from Reviews. Bios and Devise manager fixes. First half way descent Laptop I've ever had and actually the first I have bought. That last gifted one drained me of a couple hundred and I tossed it. If this one works well I will bump it to 8 gigs of ram and the Hybrid SSD hard drive. Another 125/175 , but it should be a screamer for less than $600. Man how time have changed for computers.It is the only good thing to come from Asia. Has dropped the price for us.

[Wrigleyvillain]

Ill be back for DXP for sure...ready to play something else again anyway.

[MxPhenom 216]

I think we should play hard core a lot more often. Last night was pretty fun except for the ACT guys who all ran with M98Bs.

[cadaveca]

Even so, it was their server, so you need to suck it up, princess!


One or two of them must read TPU!

It was still fun! It's not like they were cheating...Firestorm is Sniper Heaven.

But seriously Hard core is really fun. A bit more at stake since you die a lot faster. Which is how it should be honestly for a game like BF3 rather then using 3/4 of a clip to kill someone.

anybody wanna play Hardcore now ?

Its better, but harder. People actually die now though when you shoot at them.

[Durvelle27]

i just played HC for the first time and i love it SV98

[MT Alex]

I played hardcore almost exclusively when BF3 first came out, that is to say when I was playing solo, I could never get others to join in and not complain. The thing I like best about it is that the crew mounted weapons in tanks and jeeps actually hit harder than a .22 LR. I mean, seriously, they are firing .50 BMG rounds and they don't kill crap in normal.

[Black Haru]

HC discourages team play. It's annoying. Also promotes camping.

[cadaveca]

Ha! I like to think of it as "No Rambos Allowed".

[Wrigleyvillain]

Well I have kind of have trouble playing "as a team" with you guys anyway as I don't use a mic so bring on the HC

Battlefieldo - Armored Kill comments w/ Daniel “zh1nt0” Matros

Discussion in 'News & Updates' started by PR3SIDENT, Today at 11:12 AM.

Daniel Matros and I have established a pretty great personal friendship, as well as a professional one through the community, Last night we had some time to sit down and just talk about armored kill, nothing more. Please don't read this and think we are going to be revealing secret DLC details... we aren't. Daniel is an DICE employee, and under a very strict NDA on Armored Kill, so please, This is just a short Q&A on Daniel’s thoughts on the Armored Kill DLC, both as the DICE Global Community Manager, and as a 10 year Battlefield Veteran.

Question 1:
How much time have you had to play Armored Kill in the Studio playtests?

-- Simple answer. Every day. Playtests are the best way for us to ensure that we like what we are playing. It´s one thing to sit in a builder and try out some cool models as well as working on the level but actually trying it out is our best way of making sure it really feels the way we want it to feel and play. If it doesn´t play right, we need to take it back and look at how we can improve.

Question 2:
What do you think about Armored Kill? Will it be a return to the “Classic Battlefield” experience?

-- Armored Kill is definitely going to bring that experience back. Close Quarters was more focused towards infantry and close quarter battle so Armored Kill is naturally in line to bring out vehicles and huge maps with lots of flying, shooting as well as tactical sneaky maneuvers by infantry units.

Question 3:
Have you had a chance to play Armored Kill on any other platforms? If so, how does it play? A lot of the console players are concerned with scalability; do you think Armored Kill is going to be enjoyable for all platforms?

-- It plays very well indeed. We of course need to make it feel right for all platforms.

Question 4:
Have you decided which map you love the most, and why?

-- Oh yes. Alborz Mountains is definitely my favorite map. Mostly because it is so vast and has very different levels of height and altitude. It is also a very beautiful map to play on as well with different weather effects.


Question 5:
Tell us more about Tank Superiority mode, do you enjoy it?

-- Yes. Tank Superiority is a good mode I think a lot of folks have been looking forward to. It is essentially a king of the hill type of game mode where you as a team battle against the other team for one flag. The challenge is to hold the flag since the map is quite large and flanking routes come a plenty here.

Question 6:
Knowing the battlefield community as well as you do, and as a long time Battlefield vet, do you think Armored Kill is more “tailored” to the veteran based Battlefield community?

-- I definitely feel that these maps bring back some of the old BF flavor we have seen over the past 10 years but it also does a great job in introducing new players as well. This is an expansion pack based on BF3 and not any older game although all of our previous experience has made BF3 possible.

Question 7:
Have you been inside the AC-130? What’s it like trying to defend the Gunship while also trying to provide over watch on ground assaults? Do you think the AC-130 will be used more as an offensive or defensive weapon?

-- Haha, it gets quite hectic to say the least. The Gunship is an important vehicle and can definitely decide outcomes on the battlefield. You´ve got one cannon that you can use to primarily hit ground targets and lay waste to flag areas with. On the other cannon you´ve got an AA cannon. As with everything in Battlefield, skill determines the winner in tight vehicle combat situations so the tides might even turn if you face an amazing jet pilot. For defensive and offensive? It really depends in what situation you are currently in when you get it. It can however be used for both purposes.

Question 9:
We’ve seen the AC-130 on multiple maps via the trailers DICE has put out; can you confirm it’s available on all maps for Armored Kill?

-- The Gunship is available on all maps on Conquest small and Large.


A thank you to Daniel for taking some time out of his schedule to discuss his thoughts on Armored Kill with us, we look forward to seeing all the holiness of Armored Kill for ourselves in a few weeks.

Sorry but I find that normal game mode encourages all those things. I've never had problems with squad/team play and camping in HC and that is the only game mode I play.

If you want dude, I have a mic sitting in a box not being used at all. Not to mention I have an extra headset just in case the one I'm already using goes to shit.
Woops, there goes that generous TPU personality...it's starting to rub off on me

[Wrigleyvillain]

Heh heh thanks but no that's not the issue. Note I said "don't use" not "don't have".

It's not just this game. I could join organized, higher-level Tribes Ascend "pick up games" but one thing stands in my way...I hate using voice chat.

I see. Well I guess I can see your point to an extent. It's a love/hate relationship with me to, but I like it more than I don't. Everyone has their preferences

It has owed me since the beta. I'll play some this weekend
for DXP , but really waiting on Armor Kill. This lappy has HDMI
so I already have a wireless 5 button mouse coming Monday.
Then I'll get a wireless Keyboard and will be able to play in my loft
sitting on the couch on the 55" Sony. Shit I have 4 machines that
can play BF3 now. After I get an SSD hybrid and 2 more gigs of ram for
this I think I'm done sinking money into computers for awhile. Gonna start
buying hookers now All 54 yr olds need a couple STD's

[mastrdrver]
