That would be a bit like having MW4 at E3. This is Medal of Honor's year.

Not that I give two shits about Bad Company 3 or that it belongs in this thread ;)

The patch feels very solid. I'm sure there will be some issues that appear and take forever to fix. Such is the life of Battlefield.

I unlocked the AUG A3 for assault earlier. It feels pretty good too. I might play around with it a little bit tomorrow. I also discovered that mother fuckin' gun game (Gun Master) is in Close Quarters. People who were already hating on the idea of a CQC Battlefield expansion need not apply. I think it's pretty awesome though. I adore gun game and it could be a lot of fun here.

You have bandwidth caps or something? That's fucking awful. 2 gigs isn't a big download.

Apparently ppl here in Sweden are buying 27 dollar premium from India via proxy/vpn. Its like a third of what the actual swedish price is. Interesting to see what happens to their accounts.

I wouldn't be shocked if they were okay. I haven't heard of anyone losing BF3 by buying from an out-of-region key vendor. It could happen though.

I play enough Battlefield that it was a bit of a no brainer anyway.

Already bought it, and I'm not shocked that you're not into it. Not only is it a bit of a different scenario for a Battlefield game, but you don't like BF3 anyway. Go play Bad Company or something.

I think BF3 CQC is awesome, and I love the little things, like Gun Game. I can't wait for it to launch for premium members next week.

I was looking at the server list and didn't see any of the new maps in rotation. Guess only people who bought the pack and view it.

I put 200 hours into Battlefield 3 and that's about it man, this isn't the de facto go to game I was expecting it to be. Which is kinda sad, cause now I got no multiplayer game to play.

Thing I liked about Bad Company 2 was the comedy relief present in the game: the wookie look-a-like snipers (were so cute), the hilarious dialogue that never got old (similar to TF2 or BF1942), the exaggerated vehicle explosions, the fun rush maps, the destruction...damn the game was fun! Really looking forward to Bad Company 3!

I will buy Premium once I get a job, I am a BF whore afterall. :P

haha so I was playing a round of Wake ISland and I ran into to a few of my Battlefield 1942 buddies. What an awesome stroke of luck! Gosh BF1942 was so awesome!

What? It's not out yet. Premium servers get it next week. Others get access two weeks after.

When you consider that you clearly prefer rush (and don't appear to like conquest), and prefer BC2 (and all it's dumbed down movement and gunplay), I'm left with little to discuss. When you couple all of those conflicting concepts with the idea that Battlefield 3 is somehow inauthentic, I'm just left scratching my head. Frankly, I'm not really interested in getting into it. Bad Company 2 was a fun (console) game, but it's a little basic for me. The game did have a few great levels though. I wouldn't mind seeing Panama Canal come to BF3. Battlefield 3 is by no means a perfect game, but I think it's vastly better than Bad Company. To each their own. I may even skip Bad Company 3 if there is any indication that PC-BF is going to continue.

I "get" how people might go back to BF2.. but not Bad Company.

You also think the graphics suck, which just reinforces the idea that you're crazy. ;)

Yeah.. small world. Happened to me recently with an ex-friend.

Kind of curious, (seeing as a few polls show that roughly 40% will be buying their new stuff) if it's going to be like BC2 where if you didn't own some of the maps, you're simply booted from the server without prior warning when it switches to the new maps.

The servers show what expansions they're using right in the server browser. They have since B2K came out.

What polls? The poll right on battlelog suggests that as many as 65% of (active) players are planning on purchasing premium, and I can guarantee that there are quite a few users who will buy the expansions a la cart as well.

350,000 confirmed Battlefield 3 players answered DICE's poll. That's a better sample than some random ass poll. But that's still a far cry from 100%, so it's a good question. I believe that servers will allow you to join even if you lack maps that are in rotation, but I'm not certain, and they're easy enough to avoid. There are still vanilla servers up and running despite the vast majority of users owning Back 2 Karkand.

The icon has nothing to do with it. But I'm glad you've been paying attention, and I see the cleaners got the grass out of your BF3 cheer-leading outfit.

To reiterate;

Like BC2, regardless of any display icon, I'm curious if you will be booted from the server without warning during a map change. Or, maybe, perhaps, put in a queue of some kind. If you do not own the new DLC.

If that is the case. That will be shit, and possibly ween people off BF3 even further.

As far as the polls go. You got to be fucking kidding, I don't trust that donkey's mouth.

lol.. still going on with your bullshit "statistics" I see. Yes.. BF3 is still dead. And man, it may be even deader soon. And some random 40% number that you may as well have made up is more trustworthy than the source. Duh. If EA were going to make that up, I'm pretty sure they could do better than 65%. Buuuuut never mind all that. I answered your question already, more or less. Non-hostile like, even. Then you go and be a dick about it. As usual.

What do you mean the icon has nothing to do with it? That icon tells you if the server is running maps from the expansion pack. And you can filter it out. How is that not in regard to your question?

I even fucking told you that I think it will allow you to join (note: not 100%) if you'd still like to for some reason. And yeah, duh, you'll probably get kicked if you don't have a map the server loads.

Still not seeing how it's a big deal. I used to play with a friend who didn't have Back to Karkand all the damn time. The game gives you multiple indications of what the server is playing. What exactly do you want it to do? Not allow you to join at all?

PS. It even shows you in the friends list if the server is running expansion maps.

And what friggin "icon" are you refering to in Bad Company 2? Doesn't all of the non-vietnam DLC for that game come with the LE? That stuff comes with every new copy of that game, doesn't it?

Frankly, I prefer the BF3 solution over how they handled BC2. Bad Company 2 didn't even allow you to run the expansion in rotation with the original maps.
