[QUOTE=Hammer7;39970420]Fun fact - I can fly very good on Transport Heli, but I hardly can handle Attack and Scout.
Dunno why.[/QUOTE]
Scout and transport I can fly really well, attack I just can't handle to speed it goes at. :v:
Premium is on sale for 25 dollars, and premium edition is on sale for 30.

So I claimed BF3 as my free game on Origin from SimCity...
And damn, is it taking a [I]long[/I] time to install...
[QUOTE=MegaChalupa;39967588]Welp, CTF is absolutely fucking horrible, at least the maps are neat.[/QUOTE]
There is a sweet spot in CTF that is achieved when both teams have equal skill and equal desire to go for the flag and defend their own. If one team is better than the other though it's an absolute disaster of spawncamp. Some of the maps are so hilariously poorly designed in that one respect that it's amazing. Sabalan Pipeline RU team, for instance, simply spawns under an awning that is easily camped. Kill their offense then throw a net around their spawn. Congrats, you just won the game, enjoy 15 minutes of practically free kills.
The opposite can happen as well, and is becoming more common as people play the mode. Defense is far, far more lucrative in terms of score and KDR than attacking, so now both teams are simply locking down their base and killing the stragglers that attack. I played 2 games in a row that ended 0-0 yesterday before finally winning a close 1-0. There needs to be a bigger incentive for offensive play beyond simply winning, a condition pitifully few Battlefield players actually concern themselves with.
Under balanced conditions it's the best game mode in the game. The small size and structured feel of it mean that fights happen all across the capturing corridor and it's one of the few times in Battlefield where lines and fronts can actually materialize.
Sadly, it's probably the worst mode if you simply get unlucky with teams or just no one in the server wants to actually win the game, creating boring stalemates at best and server-killing spawn farms at worst.
[QUOTE=overdark;39968017]I don't know what it is, but I think I'm definitely getting better performance on End Game maps compared to others. In Aftermath, vanilla or CQ I would often have to turn down to all low, where as on End Game I can go all medium just fine.[/QUOTE]
Lack of destruction. When Aftermath came out they said they were toning down destruction because it was significantly affecting the performance of low-end PC's and consoles. Also generally improving the engine and tools they have to work with.

[QUOTE=Lizzrd;39968029]Yeah, DICE's mapping has improved both performance wise, looks wise and gameplay wise.[/QUOTE]
Looks and appearance yes, gameplay wise? eh. Aftermath was great but all of the expansions including End Game have their questionable design decisions. Speaking just on EG;
Nabadan Flats suffers heavily from simply having no cover in the middle and emphasizing passive play over sprinting across the desert to get javelin'd over and over.
Kiasar Pipeline is simple far too small for the amount of vehicles they want to throw into it, though the hilly layout flanked by roughly straightaway roads is cool.
Sabalan Pipeline is decently designed, albeit suffering from the same problems Firestorm does (there are simply parts of the map you aren't allowed to be at on foot.
Riverside is pretty okay. Still not sure if it necessarily needs scout helicopters but the actual design of it is rather good. Symmetrical, plenty of cover, logical routes of movement.
People that can't see LIVE CHAT. Just select USA and it pops up.
Everyone I've talked to seems to have trouble winning at Scavenger to get the crossbow, whereas I won the first three games I played.
My problem seems to be Conquest Domination. I'm not a big CQ guy myself, but I cannot seem to win a game of that.
I just bought Battlefield 3 Premium Edition on Origin, and after waiting 4 hours for it to download and install, I can't even play online. I only get the "Game disconnected: no reply from server" message. From every server. Oddly enough, co-op seems to work just fine. Anyone else suffering from this?

The Flat map is indeed pretty bad, but it too isn't too bad, since you do have cover as infantry if you move around properly. The interior design of the buildings is great though. I'm biased from killing a friend of mine with a dirt bike inside the factory building though...
Railroads is just great imo. The abundance of armor is countered easily by the multitude of bikes and a good chunk of C4. I just love how it's so damn wide. Feels like a proper battlefield map with no artifical borders, instead letting you flank wherver you want.
Pipelines, agree.
Riverside is great, feels a bit cramped at times though.
