So we Battlefield fans who have been here through the last FIVE titles get it after PS3?

Its only a week.

Its not the point, every game is made for the consoles nowadays, we finally get a game that is "made" for PC gamers, and PS3 gets it 1 week before us.

One word.

Gay.

Sony probably paid EA millions of dollars to get that week.

I really don't see why a week matters so much just to play karkand again.

You people really want to play karkand that bad. It was one of the worst maps ever.

It's only a fucking week. Cry moar.

Anybody able to sign into Battelog yet or do you get a 'You are not Allowed' message?

So two good maps, both of which we've already played to death.

Its nothing to do with Karkand DLC, its EVERY DLC will be one week early on PS3.

Considering this game was to "give something back to PC gaming", it hardly feels like it with vehicle re-generation, no commander etc. and now PS3 owners get EVERYTHING before the people who actually made the brand what it is today. Makes sense.

Ok, maybe Sony is paying for the development of the DLC. You honestly have no idea why this is happening. And it's still only one week, why bother getting mad over this shit?

Useless?  Take out other jets and helicopters?  Strafing runs?

Yes useless. The game is about interactions between different facets of the battlefield. having the pilots off in their little mini game adding nothing to the main battle is completely pointless.

Shitty balance for the kids who cant deal with getting bombed in the face.

I had no problems getting bombed.  I rarely got bombed anyways.  I've done some bombings myself.  It's easy mode.  Nothing on the ground could take you down.  Only another jet posed any challenge to you.  And on most games, rarely did both sides have equally skilled pilots.  No challenge in it.  What I have a problem is players who will teamkill because they must have the most dominant weapon/vehicle in the game, aka fighter jets with bombs.  Make it so that they aren't so dominating, and maybe more average players will get a chance to use them.  It's called having for all concerned.  Don't give me that sh*t that you're teamkilling because you can win the game for the team.  That's plain BS.  Plain and simple, you want to make kills with very little chance of dying.

1943 did it right.  Enough aircraft for everyone who wanted to fly.  In the hands of a good pilot, easy kills everywhere.  But with plenty of aircraft to use, and effective AA on the ground all over the place, even the best pilot was not invulnerable. 

As for nothing to do?  Serious?  Like I said, taking out other aircraft, especially helicopters.  And rather than a no-aim easy mode bombing run on a flag, just maybe, some skill with a few strafing runs.  Without jets, the helicopters would be the dominant vehicle in the game.

Karkand non-IO was fun as hell, with armor convoys and really the only map that the commander played an important role.

Quit kidding yourself. Karkand was a fucking stalemate on all modes.

Take ff off and there's no teamkilling, problem solved.

Though I did like c4ing people off the carrier to get the jet, that was funny.

Quit kidding yourself, karkand was by far the most popular map because it was fun/action packed.

And not at all had to do with the fact that it was super easy to get retarded amounts of points on!

No I've said it before. It's because the action was nonstop because of the close proximity of the flags. Who cares about points, dude?

Yes, for everyone.  And that was a problem because?

Wait, I know.  Only jets and helicopters are allowed to have retarded amounts of points.


Edit: lol at mod edit comment above.  I meant to edit my comment and edited yours first.

On a jet map then yes, the person in a jet should be getting a lot more points than the guy on the ground. I see nothing wrong with that at all.

Depends on the map.  Flag hopping on Fu She and Dragon Valley on those FAV's?  Not much killing, but plenty of points.
