Dattebayo 446 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Least DICE can do, eh? x)Kind of like how Bioware did by releasing all multiplayer DLCs for ME3 for free after their debacle. Hmm, both controlled by EA... Conspiracy? Or just crappy EA practices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,806 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well there sure as hell ain't gonna be a EA appreciation month anytime soon Full credit to them for doing this. The community had to put up with quite a lot of significant issues for the first few months and did provide some important feedback to DICE to help them sift through the countless problems that were identified. I think overall the relationship between the fans and the developer has been pretty effective with only EA really experiencing the huge wrath of the customers and the media scrutiny. DICE were certainly to blame for a portion of the chaos but thankfully we've moved past that onward and upwards. You'd never see Activision doing this without having to pay a premium! Even with all the support for COD and the billions it's brought them; they will persistently hold the community to ransom for even the smallest content.

Sennex 1,903 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A battlepack a day? Thats a bit much to be honest This is nice and all, but damn, this is way overkill to be honest Unlocking all shotguns, Grenads, Pistols, and DMR's? Double XP? damn Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason 1,245 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think it's a generous gesture. A bit too generous, perhaps. Am I going to really bitch about free stuff? Nope.

TigerBurge 2,374 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hell I'll take it. Especially if I can unlock the DMR rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baabcat 1,642 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I might unlock the pistols, but part of the fun in the game is earning the weapons, so I think I'll just keep plugging through the DMRs and shotguns as normal.

cyberninja2601 1,103 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 That's pretty cool. Makes me consider getting premium (so I guess the accomplished their mission ) Also community objectives was something they did on Mass Effect 3 co-op. It was great. During their was a personal objective and a community objective and you got packs for accomplishing the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,374 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You will get a bronze battlepack everyday you sign in Monday-Friday and a silver on Saturday and Sunday. Read it on the blog. To lazy to link source on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Diamond 407 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Premium is a good deal if you want all the expansion packs.all the other stuff is just a bonus. Also....METRO!!!

uberwarrior 373 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Am I the only person that didn't like Metro? Great TDM map, crap for Conquest, and hit and miss for Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Great TDM map, crap for Conquest, and hit and miss for Rush. I don't know if I agree with the part about Conquest Reason being, is that Locker is just like metro for Conquest. On PC the Metro Large Conquest map sucked, but the Regular Conquest was the same as the PS3/ 360 and it was perfect IMO Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

On PC the Metro Large Conquest map sucked, but the Regular Conquest was the same as the PS3/ 360 and it was perfect IMO I know what you're saying, but the really good matches were few and far between. Usually it just ended up in a massive base rapping session dependent on which side gained control of B. At least Op Locker has a bit more variety for flanking. Then you had the rented servers with 500% tickets which just got really boring after 30 minutes. I loved the epic large ticket matches on maps like Oman, Kharg Island, Op Firestorm etc..because they could go either way if the teams were balanced, but Metro just became a kill whores paradise if you got on the right side. Great for your SPM as you could earn massive xp by throwing down health and ammo without getting that many kills, but that was about it for me. Seine Crossing was one of my absolute favourite BF3 maps, I wish they'd bring that back with levolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know the first time I ever did seriously badassed on a map was on Metro, with the m249 I must went 40-X, it was so flippin sick, they just wouldn't stop charging me I felt like a british soldier fighting waves of zulu warriors. My dad was actually there and he asked me if the point of the game was to not ever move but to kill as man as you could LOLZ Dr Diamond and Jason 2 Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Baabcat 1,642 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Never played BF3 but the fact metro is being compared to locker is making me happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,806 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Metro and Locker are pretty different although they both rely on teams moving offensively through a tight map. Matches can get very untidy very quickly and can become exhausting with persistent gun battles and tactics being thrown out of the window. Maps like these are more suited to rush and TDM but large ticket games on Conquest can be a bit too chaotic for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberwarrior 373 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I must admit, it's a big improvement in terms of the levolution aspect, hopefully that'll improve the game play in Conquest. What got very boring very quickly were the rented servers that were Metro only with massive ticket counts. I did play one match on that map with a big ticket count and it went on forever, almost to the point of boredom. Like I say though, great for big xp gains. Whereas there was one 1000 ticket server I used to play on with Oman as the map and those matches never got boring for me unless your team got horribly base trapped. Which wasn't very often tbh.

Yea, for me it got to the point where I stopped even trying to play on a rented server. It was never worth the frustration of 3-4 hour matches. Aint nobody got time for that! The Earthquake expansion had a few good higher ticket servers, but towards the end I had bad luck there as well Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."
