BF2S Forums New expansions announced CQC heavy it seems!

BF: Close Quarters is just another EA ploy to gain the ever baseline COD fan. 

I'm not looking for another "Shipment" or "Nuketown."  I'm quite happy with BF3 maps that have their own little "CQC-area", but I want to be able to roll into that area with an LAV and lay waste to all those groundpounders!  It's that 'foodchain effect' that makes BF games more enjoyable.

And JUNE? Really? Seems a long time to wait for a few more maps and re-skinned vehicles/weapons.    It's not like they're the only game out there anymore.  Many more new releases competing for our gaming dollar.  I've already took hiatus of BF3 to play a bit of Uncharted 3.

What about throwing us a pair of maps in the interim to keep us hooked?

metro v2 yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

you forgot the aek and nades

and the javelin-SOFLAM combo will most certainly be goldplated

Skip to 0:40.  I instantly saw COD style map.

Gold plated tank!

Let me get this straight..... we need to wait MONTHS for rehashed single-player/co-op indoor maps?

Can I request a gold-plated Johnny #5?

I skipped to :42 and thought it actually was CoD.

On the official site, it says "Players: 2-16". So are all the maps going to be designed for 16 players only? I'm all for having some maps primarily designed for infantry, but couldn't they expand it out a bit? BF2:SF was good at this, maps like Iron Gator, Warlord, Mass Destruction and Ghost Town had vehicles but there were certain areas only infantry could access. 'Infantry maps' doesn't have to mean 'small and IO'.
Looking forward to seeing 24/7 CQC MAPS 1000% TICKETS 64 PLAYERS HIGH POINTS all down the server browser.

Same here, this game doesn't need any more CQB orientated maps.

I want that Thunderrun or some such as a MP map.  Massive tank on tank plus aircraft maps.

So all of those are cross-platform? I've been hoping they would make the expansions different for PCs vs consoles...I would hope a 16 player CQB expansion would be for consoles, with the armor-centric one on PC.

I'm pretty sure you can dig up pre-release interviews re: BF3 where they state that it will have some of, if not the, largest maps in BF history, with specific reference to Firestorm as being humongous. You know, the Firestorm that feels like it could fit in 1/2 of Zatar Wetlands...so when they promise the "biggest map in Battlefield history", I can't help but be skeptical.
