I just bought this tonight. If there are CPers who are interested in helping my n00b ass in the future, let me know. I played the campaign for a few hours to get used to the controls, but it was kind of "meh" to me. I know this is a game that is almost solely meant for online content, though.

I went on vacation for 7 days and just returned. The jets are waaay better now. It kind of sucks. Still an awesome game though.

What?

You on PC or XBox?

I always drive a tank and I used to never get killed by jets. Happens much more frequently now. I think a lot more people have unlocked the air to ground missiles or whatever they are.

Is there someone on this board playing PC with a name of ComeAtMeBro? I seen it yesterday and I thought about asking in the game but it is a bitch to type when you are guttin muther****as

I hate the map Sienne (sp?)....man. I get murdered on that map every game.

the Market map is brutal too.

It's probably my least favorite map as well. It's not bad when you have a good team...which never seems to happen for me because most ppl online are idiots...are there lots of you playing on PS3?? My psn is "Wa-Z" add me up.

Seine definitely can be maddening. But over time I have come to like it. Use the buildings, don't just go running around thinking you can be Rambo. IRNV helps seeing people in the buildings.

Grand Bazaar I hated at first but like it more now. The first few days where everyone seemed to camp at the bottom of the stairs on either side of alleyway is pretty much a thing of the past now on PC. thank heavens

My favorite maps by far are Tehran Highway, Caspian, Kharg, and Op Firestorm.

Canals I really don't like as a TDM map, but as a Conquest and Rush map they are pretty good.

If I'm feeling like pissing people off I always go Metro conquest. Nothing more funny than pissing half of a team with the USAS-12 with frag rounds.

Can't wait for the Karkand expansion to come out. Not only do we get Karkand and Oman. It looks like Sharqi is a night map this time around. I'm a big fan of night maps.

I played this on PS3 for the first time last night...didn't do so hot. It will definitely take some getting used to.

I noticed that I often have different weapons choices when I join a new game. One game I'll be able to have the M4, but the next it will give me an AK47. I really haven't unlocked anything yet though. I just thought it was strange.

The sound quality is great, but the controls and movement seem sluggish. And maybe it was just the games I was getting in, but there were tons of people camping. Probably a bunch of noobs like me feeling their way around.

Tehran, Caspian, Harq, Firestorm and Metro are all fun as heck. The other two maps, Karkand and Oman, are pretty exciting looking. I think I have something in my game about some DLC...can't recall exactly what it is. Either way, I'll probably end up buying those as well if I don't have a code in my game package.

this game just gets better and better as you get more experience and unlock new goodies. But man....that first few rounds climbing the ranks was burtal lol.

I think it depends on what 'team' you're on. If you're an American force, or Russina/opposition force etc.

I've only played Conquest so keep that in mind when reading my post:
It took a while for me to get my stick sensitivity set to where I liked it (NTTAWWT). And yeah, depending one what game mode you're in - Conquest, or Rush - there can seem like there are lots of campers. I thought the same thing until I realized that they were probably defending a flag or MCOM respectively.

I quickly realized that I had to sort of plan my route from A to B if running out in the open/crossing a large area. Sometimes, I would just find an alternate route. But, typically when moving at all/advancing etc, taking cover, or taking a route to where you canget to cover quickly is a must.

Also, I recommend sticking with a squadmate or teammate as much as possible. If you both encounter a runner/gunner/lone wolf, chances are he won't get you both. if he does cap one of you, you can respawn onto that squadmante or vice versa. Depending on what class each of you are running, you can support each other with ammo packs and medical packs. And, you don't want to be alone if you turn a corner and you have 3 guys from the other team staring you down, etc.

And remember, in Conquest, it's all about capturing the flags/objectives. If I recall, if your team captures more than 1/2 the flags, the other teams tickets start getting used up at a rate of like 1 per 3 seconds or something. I've played with an entire team before that didn't capture a single flag because they were all worried about their own K/D ratio. So, that can get frustrating.

Finally, remember your role/class you select and do that job. Engineer, fix things and blow chit up. Assualt.....advance/assault and lay down med packs. Support, lay down a butt load of fire and drop ammo. Support is great when you're with a buddy - you can suppress the enemy/keep him pinned down while your buddy gets closer/takes him out if you don't first.

Sorry for the long post; but I had a really tough time starting out too as this was my first BF game. But man, it truly does get better and better the more you play it. Especially if you get in a squad/team that knows it's not MW3/BOPs and plays the game as a team.

I'm on PS3; tag is bubbjo23. hit me up some time. I try to play a little during the week, and usually play a good chunk of hours on the weekend.

That's because it depends what team you are on. The unlocks are available for both teams, but the default weapons are different for each team.

If you pre-ordered the Limited Edition you will get at least the Karkand expansion for free.

If you are playing on a PS3 you will get BF1943 and the Karkand expansion for free. EA did say that they weren't going to honor 1943 and instead release the Karkand expansion a week prior to PS3 users. They promptly had a lawsuit against them for that and now the 1943 deal is back on for PS3 users.
