Battlefield 3

[PepperNY]

Ok, so I downloaded the Premium pass for my wife and when I boot the game up it says Premium is unlocked, Online Pass is unlocked and the Welcome Package is unlocked. But when I go to the in-game store all of the content still shows $14.99. I even clicked on them and it was asking me to conform the purchase and add funds to her wallet.

If I still have to start the downloads for each thing by signing into my account first that would be dumb.

I think you do because that is the person that purchased it but once its installed all other accounts on that system should be able to use it

More on the new DLC:

4 maps:

-Azadi Palace
*Basically a busted up royal's palace


-Epicenter

*Conquest usually boils down to capturing either the spot nearest to the building/gated market that's a spawn point for the other team (which leads to either spawn-trapping or getting overran while the rest of your team is capturing across the map)...

The middle point on the street that has multiple entry points (the spot with all the cracks in the video and the open sewer pipe you can low crawl through to get a few cheap-o kills if your lucky) and is REALLY hard to keep because there really is no cover.

And the back end that has a few corners you can stowaway for a few seconds behind; easier to take than to keep if you aren't careful.

-Markaz Monolith


-Talah Market

*0:00:24 of the video shows a set of stairs and rooftops you can jump across to if you're quick; great for vantage points against enemies on the ground.

Just note that a lot of people, including me, will use the stairs to snipe from; it only gets worse on Scavenger because you don't have the luxury to fight back in a return fire engagement because he's got 12 shots while you might have 3 if you're lucky.

Pretty much everywhere else on this map is open season as multiple vantage points, shadowy corners and basic numbers games affect everything when it comes to capturing points.

Fun as hell though.

3 new vehicles plus a set of regular tanks (T-90s and I think an Abrams) and some Little Birds:

-Phoenix
*Modded Humvee with a grenade launcher in addition to the machine gun attached on top

-Barsuk
*Modded Vodnik with the same set-up

-Rhino
*Heavily modded van with remote-controlled gun attached that acts a troop transport

**All are bullshit status when it comes to armor because unless you run a set of C4 on them, it's going to take more than 4 rockets to down these fuckers.

No idea about landmines because when I played, nobody lived long enough for them to be effective.

This game still has plenty of bullshit but I still love it. Ater not having played this game in months and getting CoD and thinking "This game isn't half bad", I don't think I'll ever go back.

Nothing like emptying a clip in a guy and take him to less than 5% health only to have him fire a few shots and you and you die.

I always seem to have the worst luck in shooters in general. I can't tell you how many times I I'll be the only person killed in a missile drop in CoD or how like several times last night, I'll be standing around with five other teammates taking a flag point and one enemy will pop up and only shoot me. Or my favorite, when an enemy will knife me in the back. I didn't even see him coming and somehow he ran right past three of my teammates. :suarez:

Oh well, I just need to realize that I will forever have a bullseye painted on my virtual back.

when you are bad at shooters these things will happen to you. You are not the only one....you are not special.

Oh, I know I'm not good, and probably never will be. I think of online shooters like golf. Unless you play them consistently you will never be good at them. Playing them once a week isn't going to cut it. But even with that in mind some of the shit that happens to me on a consistent basis is straight up bullshit and horrible luxk. Maybe it's also latency from a wireless connection too. That's been all but proven on CoD but I haven't been able to determine with full certainty if it's as prevalent in this game.

I'm far from the best at online shooters as well but what I love about Battlefield is its not all about your K/D ratio or even how many kills you get. There are plenty of ways to get points other then kills for team based objectives like repairing, resupplying ammo, reviving people, capturing flags not to mention driving tanks, helis,jets, and speed boats. You actually get rewarded for working together with your team mates instead of someone getting pissed off at you for stealing their care package lol

The crossbow is growing on me. The standard bolt has a pretty short effective range, but it's a guaranteed one-hit kill. However, the long reload time evens makes sure it isn't overpowered.

Oh, I know. That's why I love it too. Even that game where absolutely nothing went right and I was 0/10, I had the third highest score on our team and the highest in our squad.

[padman59]

I present to you the most bullshit challenge in the game.

10 pieces of enemy equipment destroyed with the EoD bot

Could you still get it if you played on a private server?

[padman59]

Could you still get it if you played on a private server?

No. None of the stats you get on private servers count toward anything.

[JayDizzle]

No. None of the stats you get on private servers count toward anything.

Then I guess there's setting up a public match and putting it on... Squad Rush so nobody will jump on it.

Do it up like we did on Wake Island with Fife.

[Leftwich]

We need to revive this on the 360

I was playing with GiantEsco last night. I ended up picking it up for ps3 and starting over as well but I still prefer playing on Xbox as Xbox Live trumps PSN but not many people here that play on xbox

[Rylo]

I started playing this again last week and I have been raping. Mp5, red dot, iron sights. <3333333
