The Close Quarters map pack is now available to all players who bought Battlefield 3 Premium, it features four new maps oriented in close combat. We therefore offer no less than six videos providing an overview of these maps and two of the new game modes ("Gum Master" and "Conquest Domination"). For non-Premium players, this pack will be available for purchase starting next week for PS3 owners, and in two weeks on PC and Xbox 360.

For example, I've got a 120 Hz screen, but in games when I don't play in 3D, I put the refresh rate to 60, only because sometimes when the engine of the game cannot handle 120 FPS, it drops frames, and even if it only goes down to 110 FPS, it can clearly be seen.
If you don't use v-sync and have a 60 Hz screen, try with v-sync, it will lock the game to 60 frames and look smoother than frames fluctuating arround 100.
If you have a 120 Hz screen, try 60 Hz, in my case it seams that my CPU is the culprit and makes the frams to drop to 100-110.
And if some wonders which settings I used in the game : 1920*1080, Ultra setting.

Commented on 2012-06-13 23:33:53Also, the destruction shown in the trailer, is not representative for the map pack at all. It's a lot like COD, run and gun, but at the same time it feels much better and honest. No stupid perks, kill streaks and so one. Just team vs team combat at high speed. But i have the impression that it's still in beta for pc, as there is lag, which i believe is server based. By the time it will be available for non premium players (which have no advantage gameplay wise), i hope that the lag is fixed.

Commented on 2012-06-15 11:04:38I'd go so far as to say 16 is the sweet spot for this. I can't see myself staying on it for too long, mostly because I hate random spawns, but it's a good diversion. It's fun stuff.

Commented on 2012-06-16 05:25:28 In reply to InflatableI really suck at mouse and keyboard, but now that I play a lot since a few days, my aiming is back, I aim to the head faster and I can now be in the top of games scores most of the time, I even finished second in a Gun Master game with 48 players, my team mate finished first, playing with a pad too :D
But thanks for the advices.

Commented on 2012-06-16 13:29:50 In reply to GriftGFXI tried to get back to keyboard and mouse, but it's worse than playing with my Xbox 360 pad, and I don't like the feeling of playing with keyboard and mouse. And in BF3 it's much more easier to control vehicles :D
