B2K is performing just as well, if not better, than vanilla for me (6950 2gb, 8GB RAM, [email protected])
Mostly highest settings, around the 60 mark.

Posted the same thing on the previous page. Game runs like shit in B2K, I initially thought it was all the destruction, but even at the start of a match im getting a poor framerate.

Are you Nvidia too? Hope I'm not affected.
Also, I'm enjoying the fact that B2K was a boy band right now.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
When I played this morning my load times into B2K maps were around 10-15 seconds which is insane considering the over a minute it took to load most vanilla maps. I was always one of the last to spawn.
The maps have been running great for me performance wise also much smoother than vanilla it seems. I'm on a 5850 if anyone is taking notes.

Why? Doesn't seem any different than BF2 and it was a blast there.

I remember seeing people posting altered graphics settings that got rid of the greenish filters or enhanced the hdr or something, anyone know where that was?

Had a great Battlefield Moment on Wake Island. I was flying the US chopper and the Russians were down to their last cap point on the bottom right of the island. Pretty much their entire team of 32 were squeezed in there, and most of them seemed to have IGLAs and Javellins. It was basically a no go zone, but I was rocking the ECM and popping up from the beach areas to strafe them with the tiny window of ECM invulnerability. Was insane seeing these huge clouds of missiles flying at me and spazzing out like they were from some Japanese anime. Got away with it for a few passes but my gunner kept trying to get a lock on to their lone tank instead of shooting the hordes of guys firing deadly shit at us, and we got javellined.
Have they mentioned getting some kind of battlerecorder thing implemented at all? I've had all kinds of insane things happen in this game, and I can't be bothered to run fraps all the time.

Maps were running fine till Oman where it started stuttering, whacked it down to Low (ewww) so I could play then loved every bit of being a copter gunner. Then tried flying myself and remembered it's not as easy as I remember it being in 2 and I really need to find the sweet spot in the sensitivity.
Also, the destruction in these maps feels so awesome.

First server I played on, got the Battlefield 3 has stopped working errors three times, finally just switched to another server and went through eight map changes with no error. Sooo big *shrug* at that.
Performance seems about the same for me, maybe a few less fps when looking at the action since these maps are just bigger/more demanding, but nothing that would make me say they run significantly worse.

Shit defense = harms you that are attempting to defend. Happened to Me and Faceless one or two times last night when Conquest Assault came up.
And most newbies that aren't BF2 pros seem to hate it. At that's what the general opinion seems to be. Me, I kinda like it. But only because there's 5 flags on the maps for most of the B2K maps with it on. Which is how Conquest should be played. 5+ maps, none of this "cap 3 flags and auto-win. LOL!" bullshit.

It's fine.
I've played 2 rounds on each map CQ Large (except Wake) and some on Rush.
Sharqi is as great as ever, my favourite BF2 map and it plays pretty much the same as the original. I love flying on this map. Typical sniper spot the damn crane in the centre and the TV station which a lot of times the Russian team seems to forget is the most important flag to capture because it spawns the Cobra.
Gulf of Oman is probably the biggest BF3 map, lots and lots of use of the Z-axis because of the build up areas. This is probably the only map you see this in BF3. Personally I find it refreshing. Downside is that all the cover can be blown up which makes it hard to defend points with 24 snipers and armoured vehicles attacking.
Karkand is the map I have mixed feelings about. It's a freaking maze at the start and way to open in the end. Feels disconnected and plenty of times I got stuck in some dead end. Kinda weird for a map I have played for 172 hours already (in BF2). Probably need some more rounds on this one to come to grips with some of the changes.
Btw. all the rounds I played except for one were really close calls.
Sure did

Ugh, yeah.
Well I purchased a digital copy through EA's Origin "service". I called tech support and they were complete morons - kept replying with "check back in 30 minutes our servers are down".
Its your fault, because you dont play the game. Server saw you connecting which broke all logic and made it crash.

Just got home from work. How is Karkand running on 360? Shitty launch? or actually working?

Disconnected from server right when the game is about to end.

I'm loving all this crashing. Made some head way with the awful sights on the famas until it crashes and reset me to 0 kills again on it.

Well in my brief time with B2K, yeah the bigger maps meant I was doing a lot of running and a lot less shooting. And maybe some guys won't like it. But the maps did not feel like meat grinders and it made the time when choke points did appear, a lot more memorable. So I prefer the more control points.
And actually, Wake Island did feel bigger, but I'm not sure if I like less control points with the US having two starting points already on the island. I guess it makes it more fair.

I only played, like, two matches of Conquest Assault, but I can't tell how it's significantly different from vanilla Conquest. Are there different rules or something? Because as soon as the attackers begin taking capture points it seems to play identically to normal Conquest.
Please enlighten my plebeian brain.

On conq assault one team doesn't have an uncappable point, and one team begins with more tickets. Attackers do have uncap's and have to capture the points away from the defending team.
Basically, the defenders have to hold at least one point in order to spawn, otherwise you end up watching a guy try and Sam Fisher mode his way around the map to cap one.

So I accidentely clicked Co-Op and all of a sudden I unlocked the achievement of getting every co-op weapon. I checked my co-op progression and there was all the weapons unlocked.
So yeah is this a glitch? I have beaten all the co-op missions and I only need 2 more for hard difficulty.

The patch changed the score requirements for all of the weapons. The total you already had was enough to get all the guns now it's been reduced.
Working great. Not a single problem.
And the maps are incredible. I'm a Battlefield noob, and I can now see why the vets were excited about this pack.

Fuck it. That's it. I'm not playing it again until they fix the crashes. I love to the new maps but it's not worth it.

If I had to pick one, I'd replace Gulf of Oman with Mashtuur City (or maybe something bigger, like Dalian). But that's just me.

Anyone else just getting fucking reamed? I'd hover around 1.6-2 k/d ratios in the vanilla game but it's been a struggle for me to get over 1 in B2K. Also I've had more spawn deaths the first day B2K then I think I've ever had in before in BF3.
