Battlefield 3's Biggest Map Is Guaranteed, A Great Multiplayer Tutorial Is Not

On an evening in San Francisco when the people behind Battlefield 3 showed off the June expansion to their big war shooter, I asked them about the future beyond that future.. and about a missing element from their past. After June’s Close Quarters indoor-infantry-combat-centric pack comes the fall’s Armored Kill expansion. The latter is all about vehicle combat on the biggest maps ever created in the series.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/modern-what-no-look-at-this-battlefield-3-expansion-t-5892675 How big? “I actually don’t know the kilometer size of it, but it’s going to be big,” DICE studio manager Karl Magnus told me as we chatted on the second floor of a nightclub where Close Quarters was shown off. “It’s not a goal, per se, to make the biggest maps. We were doing some prototyping of these maps now and [wondered] how much vehicle force could we put in there? When you do that, we started to grow the map. And, at some point, we just realized that สมัคร winner55 เครดิตฟรี​ this is the biggest map that we have ever done, which of course makes it a cool thing you can talk about. But the focus is to create the best vehicle experience we’ve ever done on maps.” Armord Kill may be great for some of you out there, but there have got to be a few players of Battlefield who, like me, just can’t hack it in multiplayer. We don’t find the single-player campaign to be a sufficient training ground for multiplayer, and we get mauled winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต​ or become lost when we try a winner55 com เพื่อ เข้า ระบบ ค่ะ random game against random people. Do the DICE folks ever consider incorporating a good multiplayer tutorial, I asked? “I’m afraid it’s one of those things that, in the end, when push comes to shove, gets cut,” Magnus said. “I agree 100%: We need to teach our players better. It’s just one of those things… [We think]: ‘Well, our players know how to play it.’ Not all of them, especially now when we’re getting more and more players in. So it’s definitely something that’s on our radar that we want to fix.” A couple of Magnus’ other Battlefield ambitions: He wants to make sure that DICE’s Battlefield 3 expansions, including Close Quarters and Armored Kill, feel like “something you could almost put in a box that people could review.” He wants to build on the popularity of Battlefield 3‘s stat-tracking, player-matching Battlelog service, which he feels is doing very well on PC and about which “we want to do more in the future on console.” He says that’s a key thing for DICE to work on, to build on the “extremely high” usage of the service by Battlefield 3 players (he’s not revealing usage stats.)
