Battlefield is more open and that's why I love it. Plus the fact you can't spawn camp, very well anyways.
I really hope they keep the dog tags for knife kills thing in 3. My BC2 knife kills are sitting at almost 2,000. I just love to knife unsuspecting recon guys who think they are safe by hiding. Ghillie suit ain't got shit on me son! |

And spotting is one of the greatest things to happen to a FPS. Along with soft auto-aim.
Working with a well oiled squad of friends is something else. Getting best squad medals is something more. I love Battlefield. |

Knife is fail in BC2. Automatic crap. So annoying. Hope it goes back to BF2 style for BF3.

Jim Sterling thought I had seen a ghost or something when I ran into him on my way back to the press room at E3. What actually left the look of shock on my face was that I just got hands-on with Battlefield 3's multiplayer. I only got about fifteen minutes of action, but it was enough to blow my mind. You guys. Battlefield 3 is f*cking amazing!
![]() Battlefield 3 (PC [previewed], PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) Developer: EA DICE Publisher: Electronic Arts To be released: October 25, 2011 DICE threw us on a slowly expanding map set in downtown Paris in Rush mode. I was on the attackers side and my team had to arm and destroy two key points in each section of the level, the first of which was in a park. All of the outside portions where surrounded by buildings and showed off the dense urban environments DICE is pushing hard. The Frostbite 2 engine is a powerful beast and I don't expect we'll be seeing the many open and blank environments we're used to in past Battlefield games. While I didn't witness this in my playthrough, facade destruction will be a big part of the urban combat. Players can hide on different floors of a building utilizing the many cover opportunities. The cover can be destroyed to expose enemies though and the falling pieces of the building can even kill anyone unlucky enough to be on the streets below. ![]() The lighting system has been improved immensely as well and I got a good example of it in the second portion of the level in the subway system. The lights in the subway tunnel can be shot up so you're completely in the dark and hard to spot. Alternatively, I got to see how the Engineer class utilizes the light attached on his gun to blind other players by shining it right into their eyes. Speaking of classes, each one has gone through a change, some of which was based on feedback right from the community. The biggest change is the fusion between the medic and assault roles. The Combat Medic has the same assault traits, but can now pack medic features such as first aid kits and shock paddles to revive downed players. The Engineer class still can fix and repair vehicles and the sniper class can now hold his breath for a few seconds while trying to take the shot. The counter to that though is that the sniper will sway heavily for a few seconds as he catches his breath. The biggest, and coolest change, in my opinion, is with the Support class. You can now deploy a bipod on the heavy machine gun on various surface for increased stability. Alternatively, players can go prone for better accuracy with any weapon. That's not that cool part. The cool part is that players will now get points for laying down suppressing fire. Shooting at the general direction of an enemy is always key, but now you'll get rewarded with points for it. Plus affected players by the suppressing fire will see their screen dim and shake. Dog tags are getting a little revamp as well and will be customizable with sayings and different designs. The tags appear on a players screen after you killed them to add insult to injury. I played through as the Combat Medic, Support and Engineer class and each one was just awesome. I sadly didn't have time to get into it as the Sniper, probably for the best as I abuse that class anyway. I need to play a lot more than just one simple round to get a real feel for Battlefield 3, but the the shock and awe I experienced was just enough to hold me over until the October release. That reminds me, I should start looking into upgrading my computer. No way am I playing Battlefield 3 on a console. |

Some gamers have already started a boycott and canceling pre-orders of the game due to how EA have separated the DLC based on what was done or not done for the pre-order.
The issue revolves around the Back to Karkand DLC pack which might appears to have been split up into 3 tiers with no pre-order people having to purchase the DLC but only getting the maps, the regular edition only getting the maps for free, while the limited edition gets the maps along with special guns and stuff. EA is refusing to offer the same DLC once the game is available and will actually lock out the special stuff from the DLC to everyone else but gave no reason why. Quote:

unless I'm missing something, people that pre-order get the maps and the 'special' weapons/ammo, those that don't have to buy the DLC separately only they don't get the guns/ammo. Which means that guns/ammo are strictly a bonus for those pre-ordering. Which I don't see why any mong would have a problem with.

I think it has to do with normally that special stuff ends up being for sale in a DLC or would have a special multi-player list to keep the matches balanced. Those weapons will not be unlockable in any way in the game or for purchase.
EA is basically saying if you don't pay more for the special edition, don't expect any balanced games since the bonus weapons and stuff are supposedly pretty powerful. |

As far as I know, anyone who pre-orders the game gets the limited edition for the $59.99 price. They did the same thing with BC2, so I don't see what the fuss is about. These people just sound like giant crybaby cunts. Fuck em.

No. The concern is that (at least in the UK), you can only get some weapons by pre-ordering from those overpriced Game wankers and from nowhere else.

I don't think anything is a "bad" reason to boycott any game. If you don't agree with the business practices of a company, you shouldn't support that company.
Whining about it to anyone who will listen is pretty stupid though. |

They've just made their PC games exclusive to "Origin" or some bullshit. Pretty much confirmed I won't be buying it as they'll only guarantee that you can re-download it for 1 year and have god-awful prices.

The Physical Warfare pack will be available for everyone as DLC eventually, DICE have announced.
Wonder if that'll please all the people complaining about it. |

Yeah, it's more to do with with a game I was only half interested in due to the amazing tech being shafted by shitty digital distribution deals.
The PC version is hitting retail still though, so I may just get that one and not deal with the shit this Origin brings. |

Well no, I can't rent PC games.
But I'm obviously waiting on the open beta. I just want to like it because it looks awesome, but if my FPS playing recently is any indication, I'll get very bored of it sooner or later. But VEHICLES and PRETTINESS. I bought Bad Company 2 in a sale. Should force myself to play it. |

You can join too. I've never played BF with you so I had no idea if you played or not. The only person I've played BF with on here is Kalyx.
We have some fun stories from it too. |

I'd prefer you to play on the 360 with us, but it's really your call.
Jayman, yes I suck at CoD, but I'd rather be good at real shooters like TF2, BFBC2, and GoW anyways. |
