Battlefield 3

Recommended Posts

Like pretty much all other FPS paid DLC on PC, they split the community and makes it hard to find populated servers.

 

It happened with the BF2 booster packs, MoH Hotzone, Crysis 2 DLC, etc etc. Plus many server admins won't run a server that kicks many players for not having the paid DLC. It only worked for B2K as many got it free for pre-ordering.

 

Its a good point you make maydx. Going to have to make some interesting decisions as a server admin when the DLC is released. I can imagine running all maps plus the new DLC will severely affect quick match traffic. I find even now that adding the B2K maps to my server affects quick match traffic. I dread to think what this CQ DLC will do. Bad times.

 

I would much rather DICE released a balanced map mack. Two infantry maps and two larger vehicle maps. That way there is something for everyone.

Sorry, but im not finished ranting.

 

We get a close combat DLC which is 16 players max

 

So what do us server admins so with servers that support more than 16 players? We either lose half our players or we have to abandon the DLC. Yeah, great choice Dice. Cheers.

 

EDIT

 

Check this out. 40 seconds and nowards.

Ummm, yay? I don't think I've ever purchased and played a multiplayer game in which I lost interest as fast as I did with BF3. Don't know what it is about it...... In the beginning was PC gaming. On the second day, Skyrim was created. The end.

Yeah it may be defaulted to 16 players... but I'm sure you can set it to 64. Then you'll have 5 Metro-esque maps. Doesn't that sound grand? /Sarcasm

Nope, it says 16 players max.

Yeah well Rush was supposed to be 32 players, and TDM was supposed to be 24, and SQDM was supposed to be 8, and we see how that turned out.

This video explains the changes, and some of the new cool features it adds. For example you can now kit up any gun with attatchments and it will list all the stats of that weapon. Ever wondered how much bullet drop you get on an L85 with a heavy barell? Yes i hear you cry, well this is for you then.

 

Don't believe me? Well then check out this video

Will Close Quarters be able to support the max number of 64 PC players?

No, we are restricting players. I can’t tell you exactly what the restriction is right now, but we are restricting players so we can focus on the fun factor. How many players do we want before it turns into carnage?

It would be overwhelming.

People could potentially find that funny, but not fun.

look for it to be 24 or less, you know, console sized

 

:(

 

Bad times. I wish they would focus on adding Close Quarters into Medal Of Honour rather than adding it to battlefield. Battlefields greatest strength is that its not cod, nothing like it. This will change all that.

 

EA dont care though, they will no doubt make a ton of dosh from this. Look at me bitching, yet ill be buying the dlc just for the new weapons and co-op missions. Yep, you dont need to say im a sucker.
