Is it tonight?

Im working late, but its inductions, so we might be able to sneak away early.

Ill try and have a couple of games when I get home, but I have work early tomorrow.

 

[TitanSound]

Is it tonight?

Yep. Be mindful that you have to download it also. Silly DICE

I wonder if my housemate will do it if i talk him through it.

I do wish you could VNC your xbox.

You have to download it through the game though, not the store dont you?

I dont wanna end up paying for it.

Should just be a notification when you start the game. If not, I think you go to the premium section in the game menu and get it from there for no cost.

Coolio. He's gonna ring me when he gets home.

My Xbox is pretty much a dead brick these days due to connectivity issues (despite every bloody other device connecting with zero problem) and Xbox support utterly useless. I'm actually seriously considering dumping it and buying a PS3!

 

[sim667]

you have put it in the DMZ havent you?

Are you running it wirelessly? Theyre terrible on wireless iirc

No. And yes. Thing is I've always had I've always had it wireless and it's only been the last 6 months it's caused so much bloody grief!

You can do this?

These maps don't really work on consoles do they

 

[sim667]

It works with 3G dongles I think

I can imagine... maps way too small on console imo, ruins the experience since BF maps are supposed to be pretty big especially the vehicle maps. I sold my xbox yesterday without even thinking about Armored Kill, knew it would suck (on console).
EA are mugs for not putting BF3 on Steam, all I got to say!

Way too small? Armored Kill maps are massive. Spent most of the time running or in a vehicle trying to find someone to kill. I'm sure they would be better on PC with more players. All the other maps are great on Xbox, so not sure why you sold it. Even the small ones are good fun - especially in gunmaster mode, makes a great change from conquest/rush.

Was it a full server?

Not sure to be honest. I'm hopping on again in a minute to give them a try, and to try different modes. I think i was just pissed off at being shit. Driving around on the quad bikes brought a lot of memories of BCC2....thing is I get carried away and head straight into rocks or buildings

I sometimes find on the bigger maps, even though the server is full, that the action is too spread out for some reason. I'm guessing squads not working together so the focus is really spread across the whole map.

You know what pissed me off, cunts riding off in tanks/quad bikes without stopping to give me a lift (even though I've requested one and the icon would be up on their screen, and they's see a littlle green arrow on the map running after them....usually emptying a clip at them and shouting GIVE ME A LIFT YOU FUCKING STUPID CUNT FACED MOTHERFUCKER.

God, that really does make me angry

Yep, or someone taking off in the chopper without a gunner.

am liking this.. some of the maps are HUGE!

 

[mwgdrwg]

Just had a good game of Rush on the mountain top one. Looking for servers with 20+ players might be the key.

Loving ak tbf

Our guys are saying positive things about it too, I still have to download it - went over my allowance for the month by nearly 60GB

when i say maps are small i dont mean like de_dust small but BF maps should be huge and 32 minimum players infact they should allow even more than the 64 which should be possible surely. dunno about armoured kill not tryed it but none of the maps on release BF3 were big enough imo flying is basically get in the air and spawn camp enemy chopper/jets before the inevitable beep beep beep dead (which is even worse now that gunners dont have flares). I think if they actually released an SDK like DICE used to do then the modding/map community would do a much better job, or at least take a look at the DC mod cause that was an epic BF mod (with flyable ac130 iirc !)
Close Quarters I didnt like at all.. I've already played Modern Warfare :/
