New Expansions

[cableguy1999]

Hey guys how are the new expansions are they pretty good..i have return to kark but money situation i would like to know if they are even worth it to get them. more and more servers are going to the new ones and its hard to play since i don't have them.

TBH dont get them I personally dont like either one of them and would much rather play b2k maps and vanilla maps but thats IMO

They're okay, it really depends on personal preference.

From what I see most people don't seem to like the new expansions. I however really enjoy armored kill. Could be because Close Quarters was not my thing at all (basically small, crazy jam packed maps, tdm quick reaction COD style if you will), so maybe I just wanted some new vehicle maps, but I like it. Large maps, all sorts of vehicles, but seem unbalanced atm. Most maps I play are usually heavily one sided. Not sure what, if any, specifics you want.

Close Quarters wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but not something i see myself playing again anytime soon because Battlefield and horribly implemented random spawn in my opinion don't go together.

Armored Kill I love the maps. Unfortunately as emery said they seem painfully one sided. But only because once one team pushes far enough at the beginning it never goes back the other way because PUBs are terrible at making strategic decisions. like not constantly fighting over the same flag. Or half your team is left behind in deployment because no one wants to wait 5 seconds for passengers. In a game full of competent people working together I can imagine AK games being very very good probably some of the best in Battlefield. However, I don't see PUBs ever accomplishing that. Hence why I rarely play Battlefield anymore unless its in an relatively organized match.

I'm with Axeman, I rather play Vanilla maps & B2K...

Imo, it was a waste of $50.00 (so far) :facewall:

CQ and Armored Kill are a pretty wild style imo. Love it

I really like my Premium . It gave us all a good advantage by playing things early etc. In my eyes it was sort of worth it to pay 50$ but sometimes i just get that CoD wannabe style feweling when the expansions and extras only include camos for weapons etc. . I would love to see more exclusive content like weapons you can't have if you are NOT premium etc. Or maybe even more different camo's to wear than NON premium .. but all in all BF3 has lived up to it's name and has showed me it was worth the game for a total of 110$ including pre order BF3 Limited edition etc.

*edit* did i kind of got the feeling you didn't really wanna know about the premium ? .. lol .. my bad .. sorry

Yeah the Expansions are cool. If you like CoD style individual killing NO Team Game action than close quarters and Gunmaster is cool ..

The DLC are well worth it. You just have to be adaptive in playing each one just get a squad of friends an you will wreck.

personally i like close quarters, but i like the city vanilla maps more.
Armored kill... meuh dont care
But i am so exited for the next dlc,which is gonne be urban.
But like stated by others it depends of personal preference.
If i was you i would youtube gameplay videos and decide accordingly after vieuwing them.

I've enjoyed each expansion so far.

B2K was awesome because BF2 maps are awesome, it's probably the most fun expansion in terms of gameplay, imo.

Close Quarters was O.K. I do enjoy a good game of Conquest Domination, it's very fast paced and high action. The CQ guns are pretty cool, especially the SPAS-12 It does break with traditional battlefield but I don't really see what's wrong with that, diversity is good.

Armored Kill is exactly as advertised, it's all out vehicle warfare. Most maps have between 6-8 tanks for each team, mobile artillery, attack helicopters, scout helicopters, jets, AC-130. It's pretty awesome but that much armor on a map can very easily lead to imbalance. Once a team takes the majority of the caps and thus controls the majority of the armor it can be difficult to come back. Armored Kill also has a proper air ceiling, none of the sub 1000 BS that you find on other maps, flying through a cloud layer is pretty cool.

So in my opinion each of the expansions has been worthwhile, they each bring a different kind of gameplay to the the table and give you options.

 

[cableguy1999]

Its the fact that i do a server search and a majority of them are cq or AK even alot of ours and they are empty even BK ones are empty hard to play on empty servers any more lol

 

[Beemermarine]

The fact I do not own premium and have watched myself in que go from one to the 15th in line, no one is playing ANY B2k map or vanilla and after the most recent patch messing things up to the point I dont know if the loadout I put in is in effect or not, this game is real lucky I don't just uninstall it, waiting for hours to get a game on ANY server just aint worth my time, and I have nothing but time.
Let's not get started on spending what in the end will be close to $300 to play the game, and STILL can't play due to empty servers, it was not worth it. I would much rather spend my money on something like WoW that I can play,but it is too late for that now with the money into BF. Hell I have even thought of leaving the division and eGO because of it, and after a recent post in our forums, I may just do that.

B2K -> Absolutely worth it
CQ -> Don't bother
AK -> Middle of the 2. Fun, but with pubs, can be one-sided. Awesome maps though, and I enjoy it

B2K is a lot of fun, CQ was a huge disappointment, AK is the best of the three.

I love armoured kill because of what it brought to the game, especially the TDs.
