Post by: butt on February 15, 2014, 03:39:31 PM: Another $15 for a 4 map pack, few new guns (locked players out of the f2000 w/out paying more - not an accident), and "Titan" mode. But wait theres more. For free we'll throw in a sound bug, poor net code, and painfully slow load ins, for absolutely free :D

I'll wait till I read reviews from former 2142 regulars before I even think about giving DICE another nickel. Even then, I predict (based on former experience w/ 2142) a buggy, choke point, abortion, of what was a fantastic game mode.... How you going to have Titan w/ out apc pods? They going to code in shield overloading exploit? What other hastily thrown together bugs will be exploited? 2142 deserves a sequel. Not a 1 off mode in a map pack. Probably not what some would expect me to say, but its tha truth Ruth.

The "Titans" are probably going to be battleships or air carriers, so I think that a couple of RHIBs and Jetskis (PWC) will get the job done. Plus I'm sure there's gonna be transport helis.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

I told Craig the other day I was going to start calling him 'the professor', when it comes to all things battle field... He seems to have a pretty good handle on all the details I miss or dont know. Since I've been back playing, hes been able to answer most all my stupid questions. ;D

Post by: snipa on February 17, 2014, 10:33:43 PM: I'm excited for this! I loved the Titan mode (as did we all) so its return in naval form, even if only a part of an expansion pack, sounds good to me! Not crazy about the anti-heli mines or the assault class semi-auto 40mm grenade launchers, but if balanced properly they could be okay :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npnxG6m3M7s&list=UUlMXf2oP5UiW_V4dwHxY0Mg#t=4m21s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npnxG6m3M7s&list=UUlMXf2oP5UiW_V4dwHxY0Mg#t=4m21s)

Post by: CraigMitchell44 on March 05, 2014, 10:34:19 AM: Subtitles:
0:08 Capture missile bases/launchers/silos to fire missiles.
0:12 Missiles are fired automatically and damage the enemy carrier.
0:24 Missile sites can be captured by both teams.
0:34 When reaching 50%, the carriers are becoming attackable and reveal new objectives.
0:43 Arm the objectives and defend them to make your way through the carrier.
1:02 Objectives can be disarmed by the enemy.
1:10 Your team won!

I wonder if they're going to give the American enemy team its' own air carrier. But as we know DICE, they'll just get the normal American LHDs.

Delayed till April 8

Quote
The PC release of Battlefield 4's third downloadable expansion, Naval Strike, will not launch alongside the console versions today due to a recently discovered issue, according to a post on the Battlelog.

The expansion was slated to launch across PC and consoles March 25 for Battlefield Premium members and non-Premium members April 8. The company was unable to share a set date for the expansion's PC release.

"We've detected an issue and it needs to be solved. Quality is our number one priority and we will not release Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible," the post reads. "We are also working on a larger update to release alongside Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC that will address the issue of Tablet Commander not working correctly."

Who the heck are these guys and what have they done to DICE?!

Post by: butt on April 01, 2014, 07:19:26 AM: The new 'Titan' maps have been added to the conquest server. Those willing enough to give DICE extra money in advance for premium can play now. The rest of us will help populate when the map pack becomes available :P

Is it not?

I can't see the new maps (as I can with the old maps) in the maplist from procon. So our provider set the rotation at my request. I believe he said the game mode was "carrier assault" which I was under the impression was the 'titan' game mode.

If I had access to the server, I would have checked. Guess Eric can take it from here.

Post by: CraigMitchell44 on April 01, 2014, 01:48:27 PM: Oh, I'm an idiot ;D I read only the "Large". It's on Titan mode :D
I already played it, but when you get to the MCom stage, it's basically Metro Rush.

Post by: CraigMitchell44 on April 05, 2014, 08:40:44 AM: There's a problem with the Titan server: In Battlelog, when you click on the server and it shows the round stats, it says US vs RU, but ingame it is US vs CN. I thought (and hoped for) that you put on Russians instead of Chinese
