What weapons are you expecting them to add? 87 weapons currently isn't enough?

This is surprising coming from someone that likes DayZ so much. Maybe if they got rid of the objectives, added crappy Zombies, and removed jump, you'd be into it.

I agree BF needs more weapons and more vehicles. Hell I'd be happy with them spawning vehicles quicker.. You get into a map with 32+ players and only 6 vehicles sucks. I guess that's what I miss about Desert Combat.. You didn't wait around for vehicles as long. I'd love to have an updated "el alamein" or something like it.

:p As if. As far as I can tell, you've spent more time in Day-Z than in BF3, and DayZ/WarZ/Whatever-arma-crap has less to it overall. You simply get bored of one mod, and move to the next. But all offer the same basic gameplay and mechanics.


BF3, map packs drastically change gameplay. Clearly, it's not really the game for you. :p

I have over 240 hours in BF3 and def do not have that many in DayZ/WarZ/Whatever-tha fuck Z.

Every game gets boring over time. I have gotten bore with dayz then played something else like either wasteland or life mod or a different rendition of arma modded missions or taviana or whatever.

That was my point. Clearly BF3 left worthiness for you long ago. It's not a big deal. :p

And I'd question how much time you think you put into ARMA mods, Brandon. I noticed when this all started, even played with you guys a bit. You've probably put into about 200-250 hours. I've put about 375 hours into BF3 since I quit Day-Z. I wasn't talking just Day-Z. All those mods are very very similar(naturally, since they all are ARMA mods).

My son is PCing on BF3 now. He is good so any one wanting a good player to team up with is welcome to friend him.
I created a new platoon with the same name as my profile on TPU. If you are interested in an invite let me know
and I'll send you one. Yeah I know Phenom and Alex you wouldn't be caught dead in a Platoon with 49ers in it.
Trying to get some local dudes from around here too. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/user/CptSizzlepants/

Played some of the new maps. They seem ok, but CTF was a ton of fun. Just me and Marine coordinating together was usually more than enough to make magic happen. I'll probably be playing that mode a good amount, I made a video of the first round we jumped into as well.

Heh mines on jumps, baby...

Edit: The Flats map is a lot of fun...so wide open is very nice and not just with the bikes. Heh, ended up on Orhan's server for a first (as opposed to the other way around; it was CTF tho...not so sure about that yet despite Kurgan's praise and didn't stick around too long).

Yeah got to be careful on the bikes on flat maps, asking to get Javelin'd. Whenever I flag carried on that map I tried to stick behind ditches and buildings to break locks, didn't really have any javelin problems doing that.

I have only played CTF so far, and those maps are pretty small. Think Noshar Canals (Conquest Large), and smaller. I think there are only two bases on those maps, one for each side. Thankfully, they are pretty wide, giving several different flanking options.

Biggest surprise: You can carry the flag in a chopper, despite what they said earlier.
