Its odd because I did a search earlier for the CQ maps on 360 and people were playing them so I’m not sure why that is. Its 4000 MS points, I got 4200 because I was going to get VF5FS. I think VF5FS will just have to wait until I next decide to get points because 3 weeks is quite far behind everyone else and I don’t like to fall behind on new BF stuff as you make it harder on yourself with lack of map knowledge or new gun set ups. Judging by the B2K map pack being 1200 points I will spend less getting premium and get more things for that money and get it earlier too so it seems like the smart move.
I can’t believe how much HDD space this games taking though. Thats BF3’s only true downfall, 250GB HDD and I have 86mb left 
CQ maps look larger than the average CoD map.
That’s because they’re usually the size of about 4 CoD maps together.
I think theyre still pretty big but they are multilevel so everyone is closer together and theres none of the filler between like Kharg Island for example with a bunch of hills and rocks. I’m really looking forward to Donyar Fortress and Scrap Metal looks pretty interesting.
I been watching YouTube videos of the PS3 players (which I’m one of) on these new maps. I seriously hope
this is the last time DICE ever does small maps. -_- Ugh, AK—you’re so far away…

Damage values are wrong but funny how people are saying that the ACR is OP/will replace the M4A1.

Currently trying to scrounge money to go Premium.
It definitely looks like a good gun but it’s apparently got a shorter drop off than the M4A1 so less range. That Shustybang always gets the damage values and stuff wrong.
You’re on 360 if I remember from your bf3stats you posted so there isn’t too much of a hurry. The weapons were unlocked for PC in a Capcom level error and 360 still has to wait until the 12th. Basically I paid 4000 points today and got an arts and crafts knife and access to some assignments that just give you tags you will probably never use as they take up the back tag slot where the tags with your bragging rights are like MVP count. I love my MVP count tag even with 2000 people higher than mine. They probably played 900+ hours haha/
I got a head shot with my new knife earlier. I prefer the old one though, I felt more like Action Man with that one.
Drivable or not the AC-130 being in AK is pretty awesome.

I bought Premium the first second I heard it got announced. If you love this game there’s no reason not to do it!
And let me tell you something… just having a new Knife was worth 50$. LoL!
The new knife looks like a craft knife/ potato peeler. The old knife was awesomely Action Man.
I already stole somebody’s Premium Dog Tags last night XD Twice.
Ha I can’t be bothered to put mine on. They put it on the back tag where all the bragging right stat tags like MVP count are. I wish they did them for the front tags because they suck.
Not so good quality footage of Armored Kill in action on Bandar Desert:

Niklas Fegraeus, Game Designer at DICE, answers questions about the highly anticipated upcoming Battlefield 3 DLC, Armored Kill. For those who don’t know, Armored Kill will have players battling it out over land and air in epic, vehicle-based combat on some of the largest maps Battlefield has ever seen.
We caught our first glimpse of Armored Kill footage in the recent Battlefield 3 Premium trailer as well as in these jaw-dropping screens of the map Bandar Desert.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most important information about the Battlefield 3: Armored Kill DLC from a recent EA Origin live chat with Niklas Fegraeus.
General:
[LIST]
[]Five new vehicles will be available
[]Each new vehicle will have its own career of unlocks.
[]Four maps will be available – all really big and with diverse environments and themes.
[]Bandar Desert is the largest map in Battlefield history (demonstrated in the live chat).
[]It will also have a very high flight ceiling.
[]No comment if more cinematic events will be returning, though players will see some “cool stuff.”
[]Armored Kill will introduced the new game mode Tank Superiority. Details are being left for later.
[/LIST]
AC-130:
[LIST]
[]To use the AC-130, you need to capture the base that harbours it.
[]Once captured, you can spawn into the gunner position or simply use it as a mobile spawn point.
[]It will respawn like any other normal vehicle. Though if the opposing enemy team has captured the base, it will spawn for them instead.
[]It will have two positions: the 25mm auto-cannon and the 120mm “big” cannon.
[]You can spawn and paradrop from the AC-130 even if all the gunner positions are occupied.
[]Gunners on the AC-130 do have the option to deploy flares if they are being locked onto by other vehicles or weapons.
[]Players can also jump into a 360 degree AA turret.
[]The AC-130 will serve two roles: suppressing ground units or controlling the air space.
[]It flies on it’s own path and is not very mobile. Use friendly fighter jets to protect it.
[/LIST]
Tank Destroyer:
[LIST]
[]A new tank destroyer class of vehicles is being introduced.
[]It is basically a faster moving tank with lots of firepower, although only lightly armored.
[/LIST]
ATV:
[LIST]
[]2-man ATV quad bikes will return (as in Bad Company 2) which will allow for driver and gunner positions.
[/LIST]
AA Vehicles:
[LIST]
[]There will be no new AT or AA infantry weaponry, but players can take control both mobile artillery and tank destroyers.
[]Mobile AA is a very vulnerable vehicle yet powerful. Its best defense other than teamwork is good positioning.
[]It’s meant to be challenging but rewarding – not just a point and click weapon.

Some of the stats on bf3stats.com graphs are just pointless. Overall kills?! Thats never going down. The only ones I keep track of and in priority order are SPM, W/L, K/D, Accuracy, KPM. I would say kill streak but it doesn’t change often enough, until today it was 26 for about 6 months because I only play infantry and I am always pushing forward on the opposition so I can get pretty wreckless. I was really in my zone today though and I managed to get up to 44.
All I care about is SPM, K/D, and W/L.
Some dude on Symthic asked me how my win-loss is so good XD
My W/L is good because I play fighting games and kill tanks with my knife. If you don’t go nuts with LMGs then accuracy is a good indicator of your skill and how you’re improving. I put KPM at the lowest of the ones I track because it can vary a lot depending on the maps, KPM on Metro up and on Oman waaaaaay down but it still has some skill tracking to it.
