Grey Delta Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm a bit pissed about it to be honest. The PC version of this is going to be f**king AMAZING while I get the impression our 12v12 console version will be mediocre in comparison. Take the normal maps for example, Caspian Border is already too big for 12v12 and all these maps are bigger, one of those being the biggest in BF history. I'm looking forward to it but with a sense of resentment instead of joy. <-- I can't stress this enough without spamming the thread with emoticons.

WickedD365 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Looks SWEET! Just tons of mayhem and chaos. LOVE IT! Yes, our map will be a bit smaller than the PC version, but it will still be massive. trust in DICE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem. 2 jets, 1/2 choppers, the AC-130, that's between 4 and 8 players off the ground so who's capping objectives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. 40 people missing from these maps is going to make the enjoyment factor plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabwe Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Exactly. I wish they extended the limit to at least 16 players with this DLC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate42 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Pretty much this. 40 people missing from these maps is going to make the enjoyment factor plummet. Feel kinda the same. 40 fewer people....whew. This is where consoles need to get bumped up to 32 players per match minimum, I totally agree. Am still excited to see this come out, but damn. Double damn. That is one sexy vid. Edited July 19, 2012 by Opiate42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapturous Rich Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 God damn that looked awesome. Though as everyone else has already pointed out, it's lovely PC footage with 64 players going at it. Still, did I see some kind of jeep on skis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oozero Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 mobile artillery tank superiority mode gunship atv tank destroyers the biggest battlefield map ever 5 new assignments 5 new vehicles 4 new maps jesus christ man, the inventory of this game is f'ing massive! and its only the 3rd map pack! I do agree with most of you, sucks we get the 12v12 version's... maybe we can hope for higher lobby servers with the next xbox console, that would be amazing.

SeductiveNoodle Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Wow, this just looks amazing, but it will probably be a ghost town on consoles sadly. Also, finally a snow map!!! Definitely need more of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark197205 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Now that does look rather good, and there is snow, just not on the map I originally thought..

JORDAN K 95 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 looks epic, lots of action and vehicle warfare. its a shame on consoles it will be driving around and getting a kill in 5 minutes with maps which are probably half the size as the pc version and with only 4-5 flags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBDrew84 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Anyone else watch this trailer more times then is probably healthy? I just watched it 3 times in a row, is that another kind of Mobile AA @ 24 seconds into the video? It has not been since this time last year, when I was waiting for Fallout New Vegas DLC Lonesome Road, that I have been this anxious about a game/dlc. Damn it! I am guessing Sept. 11th is when we will get it, PS3 will get it the 4th. Only 9 days short of 2 months to go Edit: I found this breakdown of the video, it caught a couple things I did not notice. Like one of the new vehicle upgrades, Extinguisher for Armor.

Skillet Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Now why would you go ahead and say that.. You serious? Firestorm and Caspian Border are so large, it's rare to see anyone who isn't dominating the other team in a Helicopter earn more than 20 kills. And Dice never made those maps smaller, they just included fewer flags. The same is going to happen with these armored kill maps. There's going to be at least 6 to 8 players in the sky the entire game. And then a few more players in tanks or whatever. The only people capping flags will be the ones in tanks and jeeps. Which means the games are going to be long, and slow. I like the vehicular combat in Battlefield. But it really isn't fun on large maps because it just boils down to a few people in tanks and jeeps running laps around the map, capturing flags. And that's really boring, imo. It just makes me wish the 360 was powerful enough to at least support 32 player battles. As it stands, I only play on Grand Bazaar, Metro, Seine Crossing, Canals, and the Close Quarters maps as a rule. Just because I can generally get a solid 30-40 kills per game, capture flags, and don't have to spend 5 minutes running round searching for the enemy. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only solution is for the game to support more players like you said which isn't going to happen. I used to play Op Firestorm all the time but the map is always isolated on the ground whenever I play it. Not the case with Caspian Border though, I love that map and I'm never even in the air, maybe in a tank occasionally but when I play that map there's always a good 20 people on the ground in a full game. I think Armored Kill will let the infantry players down but theres nothing we can do about that, at least in the beginning we'll experience some decent action on the ground and I'm still confident and looking for to it all.
