Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand in December.

 

It's almost here and DICE have promised extra destruction (more stuff comes a crashing down WOOT!), a bunch of classic battlefield 2 weaponry and vehicles. The best part of this particular expansion is that unlocks and extra weapons are usable in the standard BF3 non-expansion game. I really like this idea and I hope it carries through if/when they make further expainsions (I'm imagining using a grapnel hook from a special forces expansion to get up on that roof above [B] on Noshahr Canals for a few Nekerchief knife kills) since they are likely to add more depth and variety to the game rather than detract from it.

It remains to be seen just how well (or poorly – though I doubt that will happen) the classic maps will play and feel, especially with their pedigree and undeniable reputation of being some of the best battlefield maps ever created. So “HOOHA!” for an early (hopefully) December release and much pwnage, if only they’d bring back squad VOIP then we’d be living the dream.

[May 19, 2012, 10:49:39 AM] Geth: Wouldn't even fire up a single warning tone. Fans spin and the monitor is showing nada.

[May 19, 2012, 10:49:59 AM] Geth: What would you do? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[May 19, 2012, 10:50:16 AM] Geth: Step 1: Panic.

[May 19, 2012, 10:50:54 AM] Geth: Step 2: Jump to the worst case scenario, cpu/mobo failure on an old platform that will be hard to find parts for.

[May 19, 2012, 10:51:34 AM] Geth: Step 3: Think of you bank balance.

[May 19, 2012, 10:51:45 AM] Geth: Step 4: Revert back to Step 1.

[May 19, 2012, 10:54:35 AM] Geth: Luckily enough I had a LCD Mobo status poster (installed in a moment of geeky boredom) that was reporting DRAM initialisation.

[May 19, 2012, 10:55:27 AM] Geth: Pulled out 3 of 4 DRIMS and rebooted, success people, the beast lives.  (And so now, does your weekend.)

[May 19, 2012, 10:57:37 AM] Geth: Checked the SPD of the modules and relaxed the timings in accordance, reinstalled the modules, 1 by 1, checking with a Prime95 burst.

[May 19, 2012, 10:57:53 AM] Geth: And they lived happily ever after.

[May 19, 2012, 11:02:28 AM] Geth: I'd like to thank my sponsors and Charles Darwins theories that have robbed me of my deity.
