4 hours until PSN changes the store over for the week for me and then I'm going to DL the DLC.

 

[Twigg4075]

So who's in for some face shooting tonight?

 

[Realist]

I'm downloading the patch or whatever it is right now

 

[padman59]

Downloading Aftermath now. It's a bit down the list in the Add-ons section. 1.6GB download.

 

[Swarley]

Have Close Quarters, Armored Kill and Aftermath all in my download queue. This could take awhile. *le sigh*

EDIT: Maybe not.

 

[JayDizzle]

72% and counting...

my friend had just a used copy of bf3 with no pass at all and when he loaded my info and downloaded the premium pass from my account it worked for him

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.

Quick Review on Scavenger mode:

-5 points to take on the map/spawn from once you have them.

-You start with a Squad Perk and a Sidearm (pistol) that you've unlocked from your previous playtime.

-Any weapon you find on the ground will come in the form of a "Level"; this can be anything from shotguns, sniper rifles, SMGs, PDWs, etc.

The higher the level, the better the gun will be.

-The ticket system still exists as I jumped in a game that had my team down by 10 tickets and it bled from there because...

-...YOU RETAIN NO GEAR DESPITE WHAT CLASS YOU CHOOSE.

No shock paddles for the Assault, no MAV/TUGs for the Recon, etc.

So mic work and teamplay are key as you WILL get swarmed by 2-10 pubbies at a time if you aren't careful.

-There is destructibility in the maps as myself and a group of squaddies were spawned in a room that seemed to have no exit.

This was quickly remedied as someone blew a hole in the wall that gave us access out to the street.

More to Come...

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. :tiptoe:

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.
