Realistically, these maps are for farming exp, which is exactly what Metro is used for currently.

I don't know, farming in 16p maps is going to be a lot slower even in close quarters.

To each his own I guess, I could not disagree more. The engine doesn't lend itself well to this style of play and it doesn't play to its strengths either. They finally manage to build this beautiful thing that can render crazy amounts of detail over vast distances and we're wasting it on virtual box levels.

We've seen that close quarters combat only results in RPG/Explosive spam esp on the FF-off servers. There are only a handful of good, FF-on No Explosives hardcore servers out there that would make this worthwhile.

Looks great.

I only ever play BF3 for TDM. Reminds me of an arcade Ravenshield.

Though I've never played CODMW games mp, I could see how some feel this expansion is just a retread of that.

Forget cover either, it looks like corridor levels for low FOV console players. Forget about going on a streak or surviving, outside of luck it's just a shitstorm of debris and straight firing lanes. COD does this stuff better, I don't know why they're playing to BF weaknesses.

Definitely skipping this DLC and waiting for the armored one.

*rocks back in forth in rocking chair*
Back in my day an "expansion" was a lot more than a map pack with some new weapons.
