BF3 Premium?

isn't everyone else playing it premium? kind of negates the specialty of it no?

 
I got it because I planned on buying all of the upcoming DLC anyway. It wasn't cheap and I can see where people are coming from but it makes financial sense. Hopefully at some point they'll bring out Par For The Course from BFBC as that was a true map!

 
Agreed! Crossing Over, Harvest Day and Arica Harbour all need a BF3 outing too.

They were all awesome maps.

I also wish that more people would play the B2K maps, I think Strike at Karkand is the best map in the game, but I've not been on it for months because no one seems to have any of the B2K maps in any of their rotations. It's fucking lame.

Ed, add Oasis to that list and I'm sorted!

Would also like to see a snow map, like Nelson Bay in BF:BC2, but one where the snow doesn't have so much glare that makes snipers completely useless.

 
Loved Arica Harbour, and Strike at Karkand IS the best map in the game, why can't people see? :P

I wouldn't mind having Arica Harbour in BF3 aswell as Oasis and Harvest day, Heavy metal, etc.

oh and by the way, i think there's a snow map in Armoured Kill

I meant to include Oasis, Liam! Can't believe I forgot, that used to be my favourite map! It'd be awesome on BF3.

ALSO, what about Panama Canal?! That was the best map ever.

In fact, all the maps that came with BF3 seem immensely wank in comparison to all the previous BFBC maps =[

Armoured Kill is out at some point in September. So there's not much longer to wait.

 
hmm, off topic, but, Just now, my game was loading heavy metal, then just stopped and started loading a different map :(

On topic however, Panama was a great map too, that was the first map that i started playing conquest on.

Maybe they should make an old school map pack and have guns like the M24, 9A-91 and others.

 
M24 would be cool, that was my most used weapon by a mile. I was a total boss with it. Sniping was better on BFBC2, on hardcore all the bolties were 1 hit kill with magnum ammo and no one was moaning about it back then... <_<

M24 would be a bit of a downgrade though, considering it's basically a backdated M40 and the most up to date M40 platform is already in the game.

I'd like to see some better zoom optics added to BF3 though, like a 20x or 25x scope for the armoured kill maps.

 
But then unlocking it for the new maps would unlock for the old maps... making it a tad too easy and powerful.

 
20x zoom! Are you kidding me XD As much skill as it takes for a player to get those long distance kills with a sniper I still get pretty annoyed at most snipers who use the 12x scope. Most of the time they are not playing the objective and it ticks me off. If theyre covering an armed MCOM then thats fine by me. But staying in that same spot the whole game with a 12x just really irritates me. Especially if theyre on my team. I have just installed BFBC2 on my PC again though so I am more than happy playing that :)

But as for premium. I planned on getting all the DLC so I got premium. Plus it makes good content for my youtube channel. I hate people who bitch about the premium weapons being over powered. Sometimes I go in a server which bans the use of them... Real silly if you ask me. All of them have their drawbacks nd advantages. And so far the M16 platforms are still the best weapons in the game. Low recoil, high accuracy and rate of fire. Plus epic quick reload... People just like to complain.
