I'd never have guessed that no matter how long you gave me lol.

Can't wait to try out Conquest, it's gonna be so good with no restrictions where you can go :D So who is all playing then?

I'm in definitely. I'm once again calling a spot in the squad...calling "shotgun". :laugh:

yeah that was cheesy. lol.

I'll be on late tonight and tomorrow. GT is soLoredd. Hopefully I can string some good games together and improve myself.

One thing I'm still getting really used to is squad play. I would love to get more strategical but a lot of the squads I've played with online are just free-going so I end up following them and covering.

What time is the update supposed to be out?

Woo, met another face from Neowin, LOC :D Good game man, you too AJ (Y)

Hope you join us in Conquest mode tomorrow etc. Sorry I had to go but it's 3:30am here and I never even realized.

Yep, I already talked with LOC today via PM, and he will be playing tomorrow as well. Good people indeed. :yes:

I have a feeling we will inevitably be dealing with to many people for forming just one squad tomorrow, so just keep that in mind everyone. I know pretty much for a fact at least 7 of us are definitely going to be playing.

Well, since there will more than likely be a full squad tomorrow night, theres the option of getting into a game, then just sending out invites through the dashboard. At least there will be a good chance everyone will be on the same team, just not the same squad. And we could always launch private chats between players. Being that we've all played with each other so much in the past few weeks, its probably safe to say we know what the other person is thinking...

Or at the very least, the routes they take through the maps, the vehicles they get in, and the classes they choose to play as.

Yeah I joined you through the friends list thingie, I figured what the hey since my PC was at the time being scanned for icky viruses or spyware and all :D

And what were you smoking???? Good game? Neither of the two maps I played with you did I even get a single kill! lol I for some reason or another couldn't hit a thing for about an hour there...it was weird.

Yep, can't wait for the download to go live, on Live....heh. Man I hope it comes out EARLY instead of later today. A surprise download right now would be ideal :D

Got mine updated. I thought it would be a game update (when you start the game) but instead its on Marketplace. I'm out of the loop LOL. There is a game update available as well though.

I went and bought me a new headset, the official 360 one. Not sure I like it though, compared to the old one I had. Having the mic control hanging from your ear kind of sucks. I much preferred the button/volume on the 360 gamepad. I spent about 2 hours playing, although it wasn't Conquest. This game irritates me sometimes - nobody on my team was defending crates. People are out in the woods running around like blind bats and the enemy is just going to town on us. And there was no communication at all! Maybe I take it too seriously haha.

File is only 80MB so however long that would usually take you, took me a few minutes to get

went online and no one has a clue how to play it seems, just treating it as a giant deathmatch game, with no one defending flags or even attempting to capture them :(

Funny, sounds exactly like the old Game-mode :laugh:

But the servers didn't work at the time I updated, so haven't tried it yet. Me and Munky will go test it out in an hour or so.

I hopped on shortly after downloading mine. Got to agree with Belgarath that nobody seem what do to. People just running around in Tanks/Heli's and blowing people up. I kept taking flags (30 points for flags, 10 for assisting) and defending them (pretty boring if you don't defend one in the "middle" of map), but nobody else really tried anything other than killing. A squad working together can do some serious damage in defending or attacking.

Aw man what a disappointment :(

They've cut down the size of all the maps, so although they've opened up new areas, they've taken probably half of the map away.

Because of that, all the flags are really close together, except maybe Harvest Day which is an ok size and the locations are better.

With the cut down in size of the maps, everyone is using the Demolition and shotguns, as most of the time you are in CQC.

Another change to the flags from previous BF games, they have removed the base you start with as a non-capture base. So each and every flag can be captured. And so that leads onto the next point..

If you can capture all the flags, the other team doesn't have a chance to make a come back. Sethos and I played one match where it lasted all but 1 minute and a half.

And, you still play the map two times per round, except you switch ends.

There doesn't seem to be a very high population on Conquest, when Sethos and I played a little earlier we switched between Oasis and Acension 3 times in a row (N) Also the teams were half full at best of times.
