This may be limited to premium users, but none the less, what do you guys think of it?
I personally really like the quick pace and in your face kind of action. It's nice to have a separate DLC for those who like Battlefield but still like the run and gun or Call of Duty type gameplay rather than always playing 'Battlefield style.'
Gun master is a little sketchy, it seems you're always running around looking for the enemies, a lot of cheap spawn kills, etc.
Conquest Domination is really awesome. It really puts emphasis on capturing and actually holding the objective since you can lose it so quickly and you don't have the entitlement to just spawn on your objective and take it back... again, real fast paced and some teamwork with friends can really be beneficial here.
Haven't personally tried Team DM Close Quarters, but I'd imagine it'd be unpopular with legacy Battlefield style fans, but again with those who like fast paced shooting, I imagine it'd be even more run and gun than Conquest Domination.
On a technical note, if you're running an older card like my single 5870, you might notice a drop in frames with the same settings as you played normal BF3 on like I did. I can play the normal maps on medium-high, but on these new maps only about low-medium--this is at 1680x1050. I can report the lighting, particles, etc., have definitely been changed, but I'd imagine on some powerful GPUs they'd look insane... :>
What are everyone's thoughts on Close Quarters so far?
