o Increased Tickets in Conquest mode and significantly increased Ticket Bleed when holding a majority or more of flags.

YEAH!

captain-obvious5096d ago (Edited 5096d ago )

i got 1.04 on my PS3 3 days ago and it fucked up the game
more lag and less players since they split the servers

and the weapons changed
M16 and that other burst assault rifle
along side the 40MM grenade launcher and the Carl gastave they all got their power reduced
an shot guns are now all fully maxed

along side some other changes in the weapons
like all of the side arms
and the game now feels slower

and a lot more changes even in hardcore mode

xabmol5096d ago

I could normally just join 2-4 rooms till I found a lag free one, but now...

LAG IS EVERYWHERE!!

AAHHHHHH!!! I HATE LAG!!!!

jjohan355096d ago

"The Conquest Horn now only plays for a short time when running low on Tickets."

THANK YOU BABY

XxDarkGamerxX5096d ago

Hmm. Might try out conquest now. Rush is getting boring anyways

Bobbykotickrulesz5096d ago (Edited 5096d ago )

Rush is one of the best bands of all time. OF ALL TIME

xabmol5096d ago

WHO THE HELL WOULD DISSAGREE WITH THAT!?

I prefer melodic death metal, but there is no denying that Rush is an amazing band.

MGRogue20175096d ago

What time will it be available for the PS3 version in the UK??

Also, It's amazing that they are updating the game servers.. I've been getting alot disconnections from alot of matches lately for no reason.

benihya5096d ago

wasn't the patch 435MB + ????
I had 8 beer yesterday, it might have been 4.35 MB

Setekh5096d ago

Since this damn site won;t let me report the story I guess I'll just have to put it here instead.

Remove the 'PC' tag from the story, this is for consoles only.
What a screwed up site.

no_more_trolling5096d ago

UnwanteDreamz5096d ago

He is just feeling less than fresh today. Why not let him borrow some of your douche?

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman3d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath23d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai8d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga8d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole5d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville6d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens528d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_8d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville6d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM8d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka7d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_8d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0911d ago (Edited 11d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
