I'm loving it! Not TOO close for comfort like Close Quarters, but a bit more open. Like Bad Company 2 maps, kinda.

Scavenger is a lot of fun. You guys should check it out.

Yeah it's still very infantry focused but with a few vehicles hanging around it makes it like a battlefield game. So far I'm liking the map structure, particularly azadi palace. scavenger was better than expected but remains to be seen if I play it more than CQ or TDM.

It's definitely really good and one of the better BF3 DLCs, also Scavenger is well done!

Loving it so far. I need 1 more Scavenger victory for the Crossbow, so I can check it out. Not too thrilled, but could be useful as a Recon (projectile Tugs). I haven't played BF3 in a while. This brought me back to it. I've missed it D:

NIce man :D. The drop on the crossbow is insane lol jk. I haven't made one kill with it and got it in scavenger about 4 times. Yeah, this definitely brought me back to BF3.

Scavenger has been quite fun, as long as my team is competent. But there does seem to be a bug in scavenger that causes the two teams to spawn right next to each other at the start of the match

had a blast on talah market and azadi palace last night, these size maps seem well suited to 64 players, action all over the map an not limited to just a few chokepoints.

Maps are well designed like almost all the BF3 maps. I wish they had included more new weapons though. Xbow is fun

Absolutely fantatisc! Markahz Monolith, or whatever it's called, is a really really good map. The maps are infantry-focused but with vehicles, kind of like Strike at Karkand. And they're incredibly well designed, filled with many different paths, tunels, passages, bridges, really good.

I think the maps are perfect as far as size and chokepoints and such. Not too large so as to cause a lot of dead time, but not too small so as to feel cramped (close quarters). Loving them.

I compared BF3 to Call of Duty with vehicles. TF2 is not comparable to garbage, because it's a decent game that's (sort of) competitive, and it basically started the whole class-based shooter thing.

I haven't felt the need to buy any BF3 DLC's, although I am curious about them. I guess DLC like this doesn't go on sale very often.

I've yet to pick it up. It's funny, I spent hundreds of hours playing Bad Company 2, but haven't mustered to put more than 20 into this game. The infantry combat just doesn't feel that good to me, particularly after playing RO2 before this. And there's a general theme of blandness that the game can't seem to shake.

yea I started playing RO2 after BF3 and haven't been able to get back into BF3 afterwards. I think BFBC2's game mechanics and Rush maps made for better teamwork. Rush in BF3 just doesn't work well on any of the maps, and Conquest just feels like madness most of the time.

Yes, and no. Part of me agrees what some of your points. I loved BC2. And I also like BF3 a lot. I just feel like there are more "Rambo's and one man army" type of players in BF3 than BC2. Where as BC2's overall design trains players to play as a team. All this could have been avoided though had they included in-game VOIP. Oh well.. :/

These new maps are what BF3 should have been the whole time. They are amazing and on my new 660ti look incredible. For all those that forgo the premium I highly recommend this dlc. Its better then Karkand.

BF3 IMO is a vastly better game than TF2, it's not even funny. TF2 is just too small and limited to be of interest to me. Also, it has virtually no teamwork mechanics in place like squads, team mate spawning and such. At least not when I played a few years ago. It was just a huge clusterf*ck of people running around doing their own thing.

Of course, no question there, a well-coordinated team with VoIP will wipe the floor with the other team. And those who want to go lone wolf will ignore any teamwork-related elements that are available. Still, I appreciate it when the game provides built-in mechanisms that facilitate teamwork, such as spotting, teammate spawning, squads, laser designation, and so on.

Unfortunately BF3 lacks built in VOIP. TF2 has a lot of team work involved, if you want to win

it's Lovely With Lovely Maps , but the bad is there is not a lot of weapons!
