So, does premium give you all of the DLC? as in Karkand, CQ, AK etc? Is it a one off payment or somewhere it said yearly? If it is yearly, Does the first payment cover all the maps and you don't lose them? Would someone guess at a price for all the extra map packs if they were purchased separately?

One payment only. Add-ons should cost $15 individually.

How does it put you at a disadvantage exactly? If you suck at the game, you still suck even if you spend $49

New weapons, unlocks, etc, that you can't use will put you at a disadvantage. I'm already at a loss when it comes to players with the FAMAS, and adding in more guns that I'll never have puts me further behind.

Needless to say I'm done with Battlefield. I paid $60 up front for a broken game, and I'm not paying again.

No they don't. New weapons are a side grade and you specifically mention the famas which is an absolutely terrible gun. It has some of the worst bullet spread and recoil in the game, not to mention it's iron sights, which again are the worst in the game.

There is no weapon that is outright better than any other weapon in the game. The M16a3 is proof of that. It's the first US weapon you get and it's probably one of the best assault rifles in the game, too. I haven't used the Close Quarters weapons yet but I'm fairly certain that still holds true.

To his defence the famas was OP when it first game out. Shot lasers. Although they quickly fixed it.

I won't be going premium.

I already own B2K so that's kinda ruined half the good thing about buying it and i'm not sure if i'll be buying any of the other expansion packs yet.

It's great for those that are heavily into gaming though, the sort who know they'll buy everything anyway!

It was a bit OP in close quarters. When it came to mid-longer ranges, M16 pooped on it. Now it's pretty bad at everything, unless DICE changed something (don't remember the change log).

I haven't used it once I got the 1 star on it. For rifles now I find myself using the L85A2 which in my mind still needs a nerf. But I'm almost always camping these days having sniper fights with my friends on the other team.

Apologies if posted just wanted to get this up there quick; I'm a Xbox user and haven't checked but wanted to help out anyone (especially on PS3 - confirmed):

Basically, dont buy DLC via PSN, do it via BF3 in-game menus.

Max Payne 3 did the same exact thing with its Rockstar Pass. Why on earth they would even allow it on the store is beyond me. Incredibly messed up as you know some people will make the mistake.

I went ahead and got premium yesterday, even though i already paid $15 for b2k, i think i still save a few bucks in the long run. hopefully they'll give us who already bought b2k a refund for it, but i doubt it.

mostly to show my support to the game. It's well wroth the $100+ i've spent on it so far. even with its bugs :p

So CQ will start in june12 for premium on PC? i hope its nothing like COD games. Metro is does kinda have the MW feel, but much better, still not my fav map. hopefully the destruction in CQ will make it very fun.

i've been tryin to unlock some of the new weapons, but havent been playin too well lately :( i go through bad months and good months lol

hopefully they wont keep jacking up the new weapons with each future patch (adding bs recoil, taking it away, etc)

You should hope the other DLC is up to standard too. I'm not to comfortable in giving EA money up front for something we haven't seen.

I'm not comfortable with any sort of season pass after Gears of War 3. Epic's pretty much abandoned the game and don't listen to any fan complaints. Said this in another topic, but it's almost as if they said, "Aright, here's what we're going to do for DLC. And that's it."

I won't be making that mistake again. I'll be buying these packs one at a time, once I know they're worth it.

I recently pre-ordered CQ but then I cancelled it, looks far too much like cod and not enough like battlefield. I hope the rest of the dlc looks better, the armored kill screens look interesting, but i'm not sure I believe the whole "biggest map ever" claim.

no?

Is there a source on that?

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/08/battlefield-3-armoured-kill-ac-130-detailed-aftermath-set-in-post-earthquake-tehran/

To get the AC-130, your team must first capture a base, at which point it will spawn and start taking its own route around the map. There are two gunner seats equipped with a 25mm autocannon and ?a big cannon.? The gunship will also act as a roaming spawn point, so the remaining members of your squad can choose to para-drop from the gunship on respawn.

The AC-130 gunship is by no means invincible. Fegraeus says that ?if your team has the AC130 it?s really, really important for your pilots to protect it because it is vulnerable, it?s a big target, it?s not nimble in any way, it?s just flying on its path.?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
