View Full Version : Lack of gametypes?

Well I been spending most of my time playing the singleplayer to better familarize myself with all the controls and the PS3 it's self since I just got it too.

I played the multiplayer a bit, but I feel there is a severe lack of gametypes. The gold rush isnt so bad it reminds me of Invader on Medal of Honor Pacific Assault, I really hoped to see BF2 style conquest gametype.

Hopefully something is added later on in a patch.

Yea, cant wait for conquest!

Not that i dislike Goldrush, i just prefer capturing strategic points/flags over trying to blow up a box of gold.

I just hope they will run mixed servers.

It would be nice to be able to have a mixture of game types on the same server rather than having to switch servers to play a different game type.....

We will just have to wait and see....

Saying that, Goldrush promotes more teamwork, considering everybody is only going for 2 (or even 1) objectives.

Have they sorted out the squadding yet?! And VOIP?

From what I experienced so far you are put into squads automatically. Either im too stupid (a good possibility since im new to the ps3) or there isnt a way to create and join specific squads.

As for VOIP i've heard a few scraggly noises today while playing and saw the users name. So IDK.

Lets just hope its soon, although i don't want to get my hopes up seeing as were talking about EA/DICE.

Im just glad conquest is on its way, as soon as its in, ill feel right at home.

The scrolling messages in the demo said they would release the conquest mode on the day of release.... I too also just got the PS3 and BC and have no idea how squads or mics work, anyone have a good place to read for a guide?

I haven't found a guide for mics/squads yet...

But i can tell you atleast something from personal experience...

1. Mics

If you want to get them to work with better percentage. Invite some buddies to join your squad. But wait until they have started up the game, and you can see that they are in your squad(in the custom game menu, the squad should appear on the right side of the screen). After that join a server.

If you join a random server, there is great change that you mic stops working middle of the game, and you have to restart your PS3 to get it to work again(we are still waiting for patch to fix this).

2. Squads

When you join a server, you are placed to the first squad what has room in it. This is basically just random thing...

If you want to play with your buddies, go to custom game, press square, send invite. And wait until you see him in the game menu. Then join a server. You can invite 3 buddies to join ya(4 max size of an squad).

To accept invite from buddy, go to multiplayer, press triangle, and accept the invite.

This isn't much, but hopefully this will get you started... And if you have any other questions, this is a good place to ask...

does anyone know if there are blackhawks in the game? or any kind of transport choppers for that matter

No, there are no Transport Helicopters of any sorts. The maps are not as large as they are in BF2, 2142 because you play in sections and advance throughout the map, therefor there is no need.

Also anyone know how to shut off the sound from other peoples mics? Today I wanted to go buy a mic just so I could yell at this other guy because his was on and kept making noise.

that's really too bad about the choppers thing. As for the mic issue, if you an xbox you should be able to select their gamertag and select mute.

transport choppers would be a nice touch, but as Manzi said the maps don't really need them, would be good fun to get your squad in one and just drop them off behind enemy line or something

They would be useful in the conquest mode...

Listen to the interview here

As Karl-Magnus Troedsson says, in the conquest the map is more open.

So it would be awesome to be inserted with Black Hawk behind enemy lines to cap flags, and create some havoc... :D

yeah that would be great, i'm guessing that the boundaries won't be as tight allowing for bigger maps.

And im guessing that most of the map will be "open" from the start...

Since in Gold Rush, you only fight in one 'section' of the map at the start. So there's no room for Black Hawks. But when the last base opens, most of the maps are huuuuuge(like Oasis for example).

But i really doubt that we will see Black Hawks in the game...
