Battlefield 3
 

Ok, so it's not out for like a year, but get the MoH: LE edition and you get access to the beta toward the end of the year.

But either way, who is getting and I don't care what anyone says it's still gonna be awesome. BF2 was moaned about (fact is you can't please anyone), but even 5 years on it still is amazing.

Apparently, Dice have said it's modern combat and they're bringing back at least 64 player action. Both awesome (although i did like 2142 also). Also, it will use Frostbite 2. But Dice are worried it won't work on the consoles as it's pushing the boundaries. They say it's not gonna be port and mastered to each platform.

Well, I'm getting it. But i think my clan days are over :(

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fuck yes. Had soooooooooo many maps for bf2. Might have to finaly upgrade the PC, cause console isn't an option far as i'm concerned.

Wishlist:

• May prone never return. BC and BC2 has offered the fruits of this gutsy design choice and I deem them good. Not that it stops Recon whores but I rather that than the alternative.
• There should be Squad Captains that can talk to other captains so some semblance of team community can happen.
• Conquest, Rush, Squad DM are probably a given, but let's get some CTF in there.
• Some adaptation of BC2's general control. That would be epic.

Betting they're looking to MAG and that's all good.

Planes to return also. I couldn't fly for fuck, but loved 2nd seat bombing with a good pilot.

Also, I prefer the old ribbons. I felt so much more acheivment getting the pins and ribbons that when I was getting them in BC2 and even 2142.

Been playing BF2 again in anticipation. Comp probably won't be able to handle 3, sadly.

Fignuts, u play BC2? (ON PC this is).

Nope. Dunno if my comp could handle it, and I like battlefield 2 better anyway.

Just finally got all my achievements for 2 last night...all except demolition man of course...

That damn achievement is gonna take me forever...

...Jets...

Meh, got nothing from that. New jets were in, as they were in battlefield 1 and 2 as well.

But not in the Frostbite games.

Is this new info? From where?! Tell me?!

Gotcha. Guess the babies got their prone back in, whatever. PC players are gonna have some epic battles.

Hope console version doesn't get gutted like B2.

Doesn't matter. It is an original series battlefield game. It was always going to have jets.

Debating whether I should beef up my PC or not, and this is a big factor. Battlefield on consoles does not compare to Battlefield on PC.

Bigger matches, and awesome custom content. Would be cool if BF had something like Unreal Tournament 3, where you could put custom created maps on the console version via flash drive.

Should be interesting combining them with the Frostbite engine though. Could cause absolute chaos plowing a jet into a building, for example.

Yes you should.


It's because it's not a Bad Company game, but following the Battlefield series, so it's back in. Nout to do with COD.

Irritating things:

Nothing has been carried over from Special Forces (Tear gas / zip lines)
No commander
Killcam WILL be in
It'll probably be 4 classes again (each class was a big decision in BF2 imo compared)
Medals are probably not makinga comeback and it'll be the same as like BC2.

Good things:
Destructive environments (and this FB 2.0 is meant to mind blowing)
Squad sizes should be 6 people again, not 4
Karkand may be coming back as a downloadable
32v32 is baccccckkkkk!


Things I'd like to transfer over from BC2:
Being able to spawn on member of your squad - most SL do not want to hold back like you would have to in BF2 to attack right.

In my ideal world, Bad Company should be for consoles and the vanilla Battlefield for PC. Then we can have our cake and they can eat it.

Frankly won't believe that til I see a live demo. One of the things I don't mind about Battlefield is that the visuals aren't super-kick-ass because of the scale of what's going on [in multiplayer]. If the game looks like that throughout that would be a leap for the series. Looks sexy.

Hope we get multiplayer details at E3 (the E3 I says will be very fan friendly).

That could very likely be the PC version kalyx, in which case it will look that good. But not on consoles.

Bah.

I imagine it'll still look respectably sexy on consoles too.

No doubt the vid is of single player. Whatever, they just need to sort the netcode and we'll be good to go.

Gonna get a new computer sorted out to take to uni with me.
Never really been much of a pc gamer, but looking into it, seems much funner and cheaper.

Netcode was fine for me.

Hitboxes are insanely off in BF2, I have to admit, bar some random crap here and there, BC2 is not actually that bad, hence why I said I hope they sort it. They can defo take a lot from BC2, I'm not totally against it at all, I really like it, just really wanted an updated BF2 I guess. I didn't enjoy commanding so much, but loved that option.

Longer version of the campaign trailer.

- Studying the vid; yeah, that shit is running real time. I find the animation interesting and would like to see the new animation system on a player's avatar.

- Will be waiting to see if PS3/XB360 could run anything like that video (PC), but in any case muletiplayer will not look like that. But even a gimped version of that engine would look really sweet.

- Still, I'm more interested in multiplayer details. Dice shared some philosophy in this month's GI but I wanna see how that translates.

Current release date is 1/12/12. This date is shit as the game is likely to get a November release this year.

Right, I advise not posting this around as EA DICE will prob remove it (note the title is a throw off and it's a non-shared link to try to avoid the big wigs)

But here goes, some vid of in game shit.

This looks exactly like every other FPS, dunno why everyone is so juiced about this. Graphics are sick and there are some nice set pieces outside, but don't really see anything to get that psyched over.

Because the multiplayer will be fucking awesome. Fuck the single player. I posted this as a general update.

It looks fun as hell. IDK. Just looking at it, it looks really responsive and a blast. I have enjoyed BF games in the past, but never enough to really play the hell out of them. Something about this one tells me the MP should be enough to take me away from CoD games.
