You can also get a top-end processor for $1000. Already we're at $2500! I don't think any of that is necessary to max out current generation games though, unless we're talking multi-display. | ||

I get the point right like you spawn in and you have a straight objective forward but that would be a lot better as a conquest map, might seem a bit odd but spawning there like over and over as a normal spawn to go after a flag would be very fun. If it is a rush map then it makes metro look like a pile of shit, base jumping...fuck yeah. Dean Potter anyone? ^^ Apparently, all 5 game modes (Conquest, Conquest 64, Rush, DM, TDM) are available on all 9 maps that are available on release day, so at least there is a choice and variety. Also, I think I watched a developer video where they explained that on certain maps, they kinda wanted to visually "tell a story" by changing up the game environment as a team progresses through the map, kinda like how Metro transitioned from a park into a subway into a city. From what I've seen in the latest trailer, the base jumping map may have a similar mentality in mind. | ||

The TDM version of that map is all down the bottom, so theyd just change the sections of the maps available per game mode. | ||

That's the whole point... it's a useless spot for a sniper, but useless snipers are very attracted to useless spots. The hills on Port Valdez and Arica Harbour are also a useless spots for a sniper, and they're populated by at least two people going for +500 marksman in just about every game I've seen. | ||

Then again, the Battlefield series is infamous for having useless people in every pub game, so having useless snipers standing around is nothing new for a franchise that has been plagued in almost every game by people camping for jets or vehicles. Plus, those kinds of people are fun to grief :D | ||

Really great game, funniest FPS game in quite some time. Care to tell some specs? I have around 2 year old PC too. It barley got above ~30fps on Metro with all low. ps. Apparently Karkand expansion (w/e) comes month after the release. Damn..  | ||

While i dont always do this, i do get alot of satisfaction getting those 5-700 meter headshots. Something that bugged me while i did those kind of things was that spotting just stopped working after a certain range for whatever reason *Edit* i also realize im mostly useless while doing this and dont really contribute to the team winning or not | ||
