what did you think ? close quarters !

If enough of us "get" the CQ pak, I can run it with the same settings as I do now - max of 32 and slot count varies as the player number rises.

Domination I'm sure will involve flags, or areas to be held. TDM CQ speaks for itself - even smaller maps ? and Gunmaster sounds like a variant of either the gungame mode for CoD or 1 of MW's recent gun gamemodes.

Here's the trailer that is Ziba tower




Here's Donya Fortress in Conquest Domination - no flags !




Here's Scrapmetal in Gunmaster - you gotta rank up thru 16 guns and then win by Knife




Here's Operation925 in Conquest Domination - yep, you gotta hold 3 areas

Some of the new weapons as listed over at Procon's site

Seems the Premium package is already in use and has some new weapons.
Here's the list of weapons I found to be missing from Procon

1. A kill with the M320 LVG is still M320.
2. When performing a takedown with the BF3 Premium knife, ACB-90, it is still a Melee but when it is a non-takedown knife kill it is Knife_RazorBlade.


Steyr AUG - AUG A3 Assault Rifle (Assault)
SCAR-L - SCAR-L Assault Rifle (Assault)
Weapons/XP2_L86/L86 - L86A2 Light Machine Gun (Support)
LSAT - LSAT Light Machine Gun (Support)
Weapons/XP2_ACR/ACR - ACW-R Assault Rifle (Engineer)
Weapons/XP2_MTAR/MTAR - MTAR-21 Assault Rifle (Engineer)
M417 - M417 Rifle (Recon)
JNG90 - JNG-90 Sniper Rifle (Recon)
SPAS-12 - SPAS-12 Shotgun (All Kits)
Not yet available - M5K Submachine Gun (All Kits)

Also, wherever you see a medkit kill, it is likely that the killer is the reviver and the victim is the one that got revived then declined it.

PLUS - we can run the LA server as an unranked and gain access to these new weapons, as they would be UNLOCKED.

These bring a new problem for server balance. It appears some of these guns are a lil OP like the Famas back in the day. There is also the AUG-Smoke Nade exploit only available to Premiums. So now the Premiums gets access to OP weapons while the non-Premiums are forced to combat with neutered weaponry. Funny how the ROE for this game states specific weapons aren't supposed to be limited or denied to players, yet EA/DICE is doing it themselves.

The AUG is available now but only after you complete the Assaults Premium assignment. I haven't completed it yet but I'm close. Needs 50 kills with the F2000, 25 head shots with the F2000 and 50 squad heals.

But I will not use the Aug/Smoke combo... I just want to complete the assignment because we need to complete all four to unlock the fifth.

The AUG shows up under the CQ DLC, so pay to win for now until they fix it. The M417 is getting some grief as OP as well and it is CQ DLC too. On Battlelog only dogtags show as assignments exclusive to Premium. I haven't read of guns only for Premium.

As for the slots, the docs say "intended for 16" players. I think console will be 16, but the PC will have ProCon's plugins to help get more slots. At least that is what I think. Meh! Cool

Hooray! 20 posts!

Sorry Shake my mistake I mixed up two assignments set...

To get the Aug A3 you need to complete the CQ Shepard assignment which is 10 squad revives and 30 assault rifle kills... I just realize I've completed it... Smile To show what my interest level is about the Aug A3 lol

No worries Puckeye. Your post wasn't submitted yet when I looked and started typing, so mine was just general information.

Also, Symthic updated his stats site a little.

http://symthic.com/charts.php

The AUG by itself, at least by the numbers, seems no different than the other ARs. It is that smoke glitch that is making it trouble.

The M417 has less vertical recoil and with a foregrip almost no side sway. It's damage is the same as the MK11 and SVD, but it shoots faster. It is liked a beefed up SKS or more like the M39R, but with almost twice as many rounds so it can fire a barrage of suppression inducing rounds while the others can't. I can see how this gun could be a PIA.

The ACW-R by the numbers looks almost like the SCAR was when it came out and everyone decided it was OP. The minimum damage is 16.7 so faster kills with it and less recoil than the SCAR.

The L86 looks to be good for support with it having some of the characteristics of the M27 with slightly less vertical recoil and smaller recoil multiplier.
