oh god oh god oh my god I'll take that thank you very much head shot with a tank that's so going on YouTube everybody you're watching Jays two cents where the advice is always free and today we're bringing you an awesome video of the launch of armored kill for PC premium members this is the battlefield 3 expansion if you're not familiar it's going to be a lot of tanks a lot of artillery trucks a big-ass plane flying around in the air and I'm here to talk to you about what I think this expansion is going to be like before I play it and I'd like to compare what I think now versus what I feel after I'm expecting there to be fast-paced gameplay I'm hoping they sped it up a little bit when it comes to the vanilla game it was very slow 45 minute maps hour-long map and that led to a lot of people quitting before the match was even over if one side was just dominating the other and close-quarters really brought in the fast-paced feel the battlefield so I don't think they can afford to revert that back to a slow style of gameplay so I'm really hoping that they did something that will combat the length of the matches now this picture here really pissed me off because as you can see there are two Vipers in this picture upon doing some research prior to this and watching some other reviews on the PlayStation since those bastards got it a week early there is not two Vipers in any map so this is either just a doctored image or developers screwing around with an idea or just putting false hope in our heads but either way let's go ahead and show you some highlights and some favorite moments from me experimenting around with armored kill and we'll circle back at the end and give you my opinion I am so screwed here sucker oh I got nice but is it gonna kill the guy it did I got an assist I was killed by a phone number crying out loud the tank and it can't just run over a car hmm let's go save f take that yes yes I knew it I knew it whoa you scared me bro oh no the gunship oh I got the big gun to conclude it's not I can't find bad guy so you oh god oh god we're going down yes I gotta kill just before we before we blew up s boat yeah the gunship is really retarded it's stupid why oh it's back up I'm getting in it mine yes that was like the longest javelin flight ever it was doing like loop-de-loops and figure Eight's and it drew i love you in the sky before it actually hit its target but it got it I found an ammo box just chillin out the middle of the field name it to sign from God I said I need more javelins and then there was a random ammo box but here sucks to be him really come on he's just hovering there finally sheesh Oh anti-vehicle metal pin and ami bro who ain't I got zoom optics on this thing get lower get lower get lower yes that's three shoppers shot down so far with the tank destroyer I love it it's thing is so overpowered whoa oh my God he's flying oh that's not good roads where we're going we don't need roads seriously where are we going here we go take it the fast way down oh my god ok it says oh this is bad for the back I hereby dub the mountain village Jays two cents land I'm like the most ungraceful tank driver ever damn it i forgot to load out again shit like nice oh my god dodge flying helicopter parts that bastard oh my god what has happened thought I heard a helicopter there oh my god how many points they get for that come on guy oh you've got to be kidding me got him ok guys so that was some of the good stuff but now that I've had probably the better part of the day to actually play this expansion I've got to tell you there wasn't a whole lot leaving me smiling at the end of the day I can't quite put my finger on it yet but there are some main griping points I'd like to go ahead and bring up while you watch this particularly bad stretch of recording that I got here where I wasn't doing too well and I'll get a little bit more into detail about what i think is broken right now one of the things they changed was the tank no longer has the double tap ability what that means is you can no longer fire your main weapon and then instantly switch to your secondary weapon and shoot it if it's using the same cannon so for instance you couldn't shoot a shell and then shoot a canister yeah I understand that's more realistic but I don't recall that being in the patch notes maybe it was I don't know if they snuck it in there secondly the tank destroyers to me they just seem gosh I don't know if overpower it is the right word but they are very fast they're very nimble they still take a decent amount of hits to kill and if they have a reactive armor and they have that 'he cannon they can really f up & main battle tank yes I understand they're called a tech destroyer but i would think that they'd be a bit easier to kill or at least disabled with a single javelin there was one stretch where i had shot a tank destroyer with two javelins it wasn't even disabled so go figure on that one they tend to put all of the vehicles in the deployment which yeah I guess that makes sense but if there if you spawn a deployment and there's nothing there you are really really far from the rest of the game so you're either huffing it for 10 minutes or you better hitch a ride or hope somebody comes and picks you up they also seem to be putting maybe one vehicle each cap area haven't quite figured out what vehicles those are yet that's why I say it needs a little bit more time before I can make a true conclusion but ultimately at the end of the day it just felt too much like people cared about getting in these tanks and running around than actually playing the objective I understand it's new and that may change over time people may start playing the objective map recognition is obviously a bit low so that makes it kind of difficult but I'm just not feeling this expansion the ac-130 is another main gripe point of mind you can't repair it so it just continues to take damage until it explodes which doesn't really make a whole lot of sense considering if you own the cat point that gives you control of the ac-130 and it gets destroyed it almost instantly responds so that seems a little bit odd to me secondly you can't defend from the bottom of the plane the anti-air guns on that thing or on the top so if you have a jet that does a belly strafe on you there's nothing you can do about it I was not particularly very good with a c-130 I had a very hard time getting kills but I've seen people do just fine with it so I'm gonna chalk that one up to me just being bad but it does seem extremely easy to shoot down there's two seats in the ac-130 and each seat has its own Flair and so if you don't have coordination or any way of communicating with the second gunner there's a strong likelihood that you're both going to flare at the same time which then leaves you very vulnerable because the flare durations or the flare cool down is on a pretty long time er I don't know exactly what it is but it felt really long lastly I don't know if there's something wrong with a javelin or they just made a mistake somewhere in the code but it tends to just they're beeping and not locking on longer than normal and there's sometimes where it keeps beeping even after you unequip it or you take out a different weapon that's extremely annoying but I noticed that even though something maybe painted my javelin will sit there for eight to ten seconds before it actually gives me a final lock and by that time it's just useless because whatever I was locking onto you may have already driven away or flown so that's extremely frustrating all in all it almost feels like there are too many vehicles I understand its armored kill and it's the intent and flavor of the expansion but there are just so many vehicles running around it's very difficult to get anything done anyway this is just my opinion does it mean that your results will be the same as mine I'm going to give it some more time but right now I'm just going to go ahead and say that I am fairly disappointed I think I was expecting a little bit more out of the vehicles I mean the tank destroyer is just a smaller faster tank you have the artillery which is kind of difficult to figure out the arch of the Rockets I the couple of times I got in and I couldn't hit jack shit and the ATV why why is that there I understand it was in bad company 2 but there's no point for it it's slower than the Jeep yeah it's all terrain it can go over a lot of rocks and stuff that normal vehicles can't and it's just turned into another vehicle to put c4 on i just don't really understand the whole point of the ATV well I hope you guys have enjoyed today's thoughts regarding armored kill let's hear from you
