Just wanted to give a +1 for an android port please. Only my parents use IOS all the rest of my friends and family are on android and I've been wanting to try this ever since I heard about it.
Put plenty of more time in Armored Kill, I have now played very map and mode combination available and still having a blast with it. I also played a ton on lower pop servers last night (I'm on PC) to see what the maps feel like for the console players. They are definitely more barren, but actually it turns into more armored warfare, you just lose a lot of the infantry fighting as everyone goes for a vehicle.
For the AC-130, its very hit or miss, if a team focuses on the AC-130, and I mean even just like 1 AA guy and 1 Jet, that thing goes down so fast its not even funny. A single jet can take one down in about 2 strafe runs if they are using rocket pods + machine gun. I have attempted to use the AC-130 quite a few times, and I do have about 70 kills with it so far, but more often then not I get in the thing and get shot out of the air in about 45 seconds.
Have the consoles players tried TDM? I have actually had quite a bit of fun with TDM in all the expansions and Armored Kill is no exception. TDM reduces the map size significantly so you can focus on the infantry fighting and not have to worry about running stupid distances and getting blown up by tanks every 20 seconds.
I put in about 5 hours last night and I'm loving it, especially Tank Superiority. For whatever reason tanks are my least used of the main vehicles (I'm more a heli and jet fighter) and its a great mode to really learn the ins and outs. I admit, when I'm infantry it seems like any tank I come across blows me up in an instant, however when I'm a tank I get destroyed by C4, repair torches and other tanks easily. This new mode will help me, and like all Battlefield games the trick is in the teamwork. Doubly so in this expansion. Because of the size and the amount of vehicles you really need a team working together. For TS mode you can't just keep grabbing tanks and barrel down to the enemy you will get chewed up. You need to learn how to flank, and on conquest you have to use cover effectively and learn when to actually take pot shots and announce your location.
I haven't tried Rush mode yet, but I have played all map and mode combinations besides that, and I think they are just great. Of course I'm playing on the PC, and I could potentially see the console versions being hampered, but I would think Tank Superiority would actually work quite well on consoles. Does it really take that long for another tank to spawn if you do spawn and no vehicles are present? I actually found myself spawning at the uncaps more often than not just because there was always some vehicle there for me to use. And if one wasn't there, sure enough one would spawn in 20 seconds at the most. Also I would suggest trying to find a scout heli or attack heli and flying over the maps a bit to learn the layout if you are decent at flying. I would say try and find a low pop server also, but I'm not sure how the server browser works on the console.
Going to second the advice that you should be able to find good roles with a controller. Even a Support player using a bipod mounted gun to suppress the enemy at choke points or defensive positions would be good. Or yes a little run 'n gun with a shotgun should out well. The main thing that would be a disadvantage would be running out in the open as that is when the reaction time really comes into play.
I would offer up getting the The Witcher 2 for its story and environment and then get Torchlight 2 in a few weeks. I played both Torchlight 1 and Diablo 3 and while I did put a lot of hours into Diablo 3 I was ultimately kind of let down. The problem is you aren't really playing the game for loot, you are playing the AH to better your character. In my 60 hours in Diablo 3 I never equipped a single thing I got from a loot drop. However Torchlight doesn't have an AH (auction house btw) and because they have enchanters and gems etc within town I was constantly using the actual drops for my own upgrades. Plus I just felt more connected to my character and loved the art style.
Every time I think of battlelog it makes me want to buy modern warfare games. How bout you fix your shit before asking for another 50 bucks. Doubt I'm coming back for 4, I was on the fence with this one. But since I've already had to shit up my pc with origin, I may wait till its 25 on amazon.
So whats the broken part? Besides the occasional issue where it loads the single player instead of the multiplayer match I selected its been rock solid. I used to think the battlelog thing was strange, but I'm a believer now and love it.
Didn't really start playing their games until PS1 days, but holy cow did I play a lot of them then. Loved the Wipeout series and also the Destruction Derby series. Was also a big fan of the Colony Wars games, man I had a stupid collection in the PS1 days.
Anyone else enough of a nut to buy 2x PS1 and have them side by side for system link? I also had 2x copies of about 10 different games that were system link capable like Doom so my friends could come over and play without having to bring anything. Ah the joys of high school and no responsibilities.
Well I'm up to 24 Ribbons so only 6 more to go for my Medal. I couldn't really do squat in the AA gun so I got most of them using the AT launchers. So far Karkand has been the bread and butter, I found the one at B, while very exposed seemed to work nicely because your able to hit a lot of the campers at G. I also had a good stint at the one below G when we got pushed back to the island. I was able to take out some jeeps trying to make a run from D to G. I also got my 70th weapon up to over 100 kills and wracked up some more Mortor kills.
