New weapons shown in the video: Spas-12, MTAR-21 (no idea what that is), ACW-R, LSAT (???), L86a1, and AUG. All in all, apart from the new guns the maps look "meh". Spam explosives to win. Which I guess is no different than how it is currently.

Edit: MTAR-21 is a sub machine gun similar in looks to the A-91 already in game.

SPAS we all know

MTAR-21 is a variant of the TAR (CoD players will recognise this one)

ACW-R can't find any info on

LSAT is an LMG looks a bit bigger the the M27 and RPK but smaller than the other big LMG's

L82A1 is a LMG version of the L85A2

and the AUG is another clip fed LMG like the M27 and RPK

Interesting they're are gonna be 3 LMG's in a CQB map pack...I'd expect, shotguns and PDW weapons...

The ACW-R is just the ACR (same as in mw2/3). DICE apparently has licensing issues so they change the name around. The same goes for the PDW-R that is currently in the game.

I don't think that's all the weapons either, because there were no rifles of any sort shown, bolt action or otherwise and you'd figure they would include at least one. Also as you said no shotguns besides the spas-12 or pistols.

Edit, this just in:

This June expansion pack has the same scope and ambition as Back to Karkand. This means that besides new maps, the expansion pack also offers 10 new weapons that you can bring back to the base game, 10 new Assignments, 5 unique dog tags, new audio, new ways to play, and more.

So it is as I said, that was just a few of the guns that will be released. Although I hate the bull**** assignments to get them, at least the Karkand ones were a joke.

Yea I was gonna say it looked like the ACR...Yeah...as much as I hate to say it I'm kinda expecting a CoD AA-12 esque gun...but I will hate anyone that uses it.

and No its not all the guns I've heard there is another 10...dono if we'll have to do assignments to get them though.

That Close Quarters gameplay trailer actually looked pretty nice in my humble opinion. I don't know what the popular sentiment is like, but I actually enjoy Operation Metro quite a bit on Conquest. I haven't touched BF3 in forever (not for a lack of interest - my plate is just full with other things), but I remember having quite a bit of fun on Metro. Perhaps it's slightly antithetical to the whole idea of Battlefield, but I'll still check out the Close Quarters maps when they come out. Sucks that we have to wait until June for them, though.

I am actually really, really looking forward to the DLC after this one. "Armored Kill" I believe is the name of it. I have always proclaimed my love for tanks in the BF series, so any maps that are geared specifically towards vehicular combat, I am all over. I have not played the game in quite some time actually. Not out of lack of interest, just because there have been so many other games I have been playing. I may hop on this weekend for a few matches, feeling like I need to visit my old friend again. But yeah, the "Armored Kill" DLC is what I am all about, but I will probably check out this DLC as well.

As you know, Battlefield games are known for their large maps and vehicular combat. And it's the main reason I like them; however, it doesn't mean they shouldn't have small maps that encourage close quarters combat. I had a lot of fun with Operation Metro (both in the beta and the final game). I look forward to Ziba Towers as well as the other yet-to-be revealed CQC maps.

Armored Kill should be good. It's going to have the biggest map in Battlefield history which is definitely something to look forward to.

Does anyone else think Armoured Kill might just favour chopper and jet pilots? Im a tank driver and whenever there is a good jet or chopper pilot, worse still, both, in a game I just get smashed! AK sounds like a lot of fun but the pro players are really going to shine here.

I just see them as targets in the air and not the ground to be honest. The deadly ones are those that can do damage and not fly close to you. Key is patience. Let them think you are not going to retaliate, or even better that you do not see them, and they think it is safe and fly towards you. One shot and that is all she wrote.

I hear ya man, those drag rounds are annoying. The MAVs are also that. But both make me laugh, its kinda funny getting blown away by drag rounds, and the sniper character models all have this intent unblinking look that cracks me up every time. I love this game, but at the same time feel like I'm close to having enough of a good thing.

It's actually very effective to use the MAV against people who abuse it initially. If they're using it to get up onto the highway in Tehran Highway, you can zip up and kill them. Since they'll sit with a Spawn Beacon you can float around until they spawn again and... yup, the circle continues. :p

FRAG rounds annoy me, but the FAMAS actually goes further to annoy me. That thing is very difficult to beat at the moment, but it might be because I'm using the M98B with Holographic and Straight Pull Bolt.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
