Generally, Hardcore servers attract a better kind of player. I hate to admit it as it sounds elitist, but it's defo something I've noticed.

I was thinking team killing being switched on might encourage people to play better too. You can't spray n pray as much if you might wipe out half your squad by accident!

It defo makes you consider your shots a bit more. The only TK's I get now are if I'm in cover and someone runs across my line of fire. Or I chuck a grenade and catch the heart sinking sight of a team mate running towards where I chucked the grenade.

"No you fool!!! You'll be KILLED!!"

My upstairs neighbour must think I'm a right weirdo.
 
Ive gone premium now, but i have mental evenings this week and am going to a festival on thursday, so wont be playing until next week anyway :(
 
My thoughts on the new CQ expansion pack.

It's going to annoy a lot of the BF die hard players but then again I guess they won't be buying this expansion pack.

The maps look like COD maps and play like them but with a lot more destruction.

I must admit that playing these new maps for the last half hour or so has been more enjoyable than some of the conquest games on big maps like Caspian Border and Operation Firestorm that I've taken part in recently - not that those maps are bad it just was a case of running / tanking it to capture a flag and repeat for the next hour or so.

I won't be playing these new CQ maps all night,every night but it's a nice change to play for half an hour before / after dinner.

If you do get this expansion map then make sure you bring a shotgun to the party, you're going to need it :)
 
It's an xp fest, racked up 10k in one game. Good fun, enjoying the new maps although I think the novelty may wear off over time. That said its nice to find some games which don't have 600 tickets!

I wish they didn't have static settings for the tickets. You can only go up by a certain amount at a time. Means one of my fave maps, Oman, lasts for ages at 200% tickets where as others don't. I say the perfect amount for a good game would be around 350. Slightly longer than a normal CQ game but not an epic marathon.
 
Nice little cinematic video of Ziba Tower (quite like this map):



Have to say I was cynical about Close Quarters but so far I'm loving it, really is great fun and yeah it's a fragfest but still plays better than CoD and there's teamwork too.:D

there is a server plug in you can use that gives adaptive tickets. so if few people there are less tickets than if lots. this seems to help iron out those 2 hour mapathons
 
Had a game early this evening that was 1.5 hours long, I quite in boredom and the tickets was still something like 750-260 then...

Not on the consoles unfortunately :D

Saying that though, I played a near 2 hour game of Oman yesterday and it was excellent. Started off SHIT as the other team were pussies and could not get off the carrier. But after 20 mins or so they got clued up and it was a right old battle. They made a comeback, overtook us, then we brought it back again. I don't think I've gotten so many BTR-90 kills in a round as I did yesterday :)

Gun Master is fun but I've resigned myself to never getting the M5K weapon as my reactions aren't quick enough to finish in the top 5 :(

If I make it past the handgun section then I class that as a win :)

It's tough alright. I find myself running around a lot and not seeing any enemies on Gun Master.

On a separate note, I think I've been given the night off to have a few glorious games if any one is around :)
 
So guys - whats ya thoughts on Premium / Close Quarters - worth the dosh or not? I ask because i'm skint and don't really get an enormous amount of time to play at the moment.
 
Well, I bought two lots of 2000MSP (£34 for both) to buy it. Works out cheaper than buying 5000MSP. That means I get all the new content to come out and all the premium features.

I like close quarters, it's good fun. Will be much better when we all play together though. It demands teamwork to do well. Gun Master is pretty fun and Conquest Domination is fast and frantic.

Pretty good value for money seeing as there is plenty of content being released over the next few months.
 
I loathe all this DLC/Premium content crap. It's just milking people. All this paying money for unlocks, special weapons and dog tags, utter pish.

I don't feel milked at all. I couldn't give a shit about ZOMG DOGTAGS or any of that, but only the map packs.

I bought the Limited Edition so got B2K with that and that cost me £39.99. Now I've spent £34 for four maps packs. Before I even got the Premium package I'd racked up something like 230 hours. For £39.99, that's not bad. I'd do that easily in one night down the pub and have a hangover to deal with the next day.
 
To the PC players, I got bored of this due to DOTA2, but am considering playing a few games again. Is that feasible considering all this DLC bollocks now?
