Battlefield 3

I am hoping they keep MP to a similar vain to BFBC2, I do hope they do not speed it up and make it more arcadey!! Like here shoot 10 enemies all at once.....

Unfortunatly people have mentioned they are going after the COD crowd so the standard game mode may be like that but hopefully Hardcore will at least remain as the Bad Company games.

In fairness I saw a Patrick B interview couple of weeks back and he was quite keen to stress it was LESS arcade like than BC2, Bad Company was always aimed at the more casual aspect and BF3 is aimed to be in the same vein as BF2.

In fact here it is .....

Oh my, that looks good. I enjoy using C4 and tanks to bring down houses in Bf2, I can't wait to take out huge buildings in Bf3 !!

[Stagpump]

I would like to start by saying I WILL be buying this game and I love all the BF games but having said that I really hope they have sorted out the poor and laggy servers (not my equipment or connection I assure you ) and the really bad stats updating that blighted bfbc2 on the pc. example - 100 kills per gold star 685 kills with weapon next gold star in 3 kills??????? I am so glad that this is designed for pc to be ported to console. BF2 was epic for this reason but is now sadly outdated and what servers remain are almost completely populated by experts so average players like me don't stand much of a chance. I cant wait for October now. I hope that the servers are a lot stricter on baserapers, base campers and other cheats.

It does look epic though.

This looks absolutely awesome!

I've watched all the trailers for this and it does look incredible.

I usually prefer to play games like this on a console but looking at these graphics I think this is going to be a PC job to get the full on "holy st that looks amazing" experience.

[Gow3r]

I actually want this game now....


Grrr!

Oh yes. Looking forward to this.

I can't believe how good this looks!

Pre-ordered for 360 :-)

With this and MW3 out this year, the xbox is going to get some serious abuse.

You mean BC2 ?

I really hope they don't fk this up and dumb it down for the console gamers - it has promise, but let's wait and see.

I'm so tired of waiting for the "next big thing" only to be badly disappointed when released and is actually a POS.

A quality squad based game without the run and gun insta respawn kiddy element would be fantastic like BF2. NOTHING has compared since. Fingers crossed

Indeed. I naturally find it much easier to play on PC anyway, just because its so much more erganomic and there are obviously a lot more buttons to use different functions.

Yes BF2! I am expecting this to be just an improvement on BF2 (a few options to personalise more would be good as well IMHO - without having to pay for them!) and I am really, really hoping it will be (including fixing some of the BF2 bugs like not having the UAV on the mini-map when it's being used).

I don't know if I am running a severe risk of being disappointed because my hopes are so so high!

[Kaelic]

unfortunately by virtue of it being developed for a console platform at the same time will answer a lot of the questions about dumbing it down

Yes it will look amazing but be prepared for BF on rails I do hope I end up eating my hat but the mass market is the ps3/360 not the pc gamer and as such we will end up with an arcadey BF with shiny graphics.


I have high hopes for this game and I really do hope to be proved wrong. Yes I will be buying it as soon as it is released and will loose weeks in it (and the PR mod when they do it!!) I just hope and pray it's BF2 with better graphics and not a COD/MW thing on rails and scripted events as that would suck.

Yes BF2!

Can't destroy buildings in BF2 (Battlefield 2). Can do in BC2 (Bad Company 2).

Do you mean the single player game?

And yes, BF:BC2 then.. Does that help!?!? I don't half get confused with all the variations of Battlefield!!

A simple Console gamer such as myself is not worthy of playing BF3.

[...Mole...]

Did anyone else watch the Tank video and wish that it was set in WW2 era instead of Modern Times?

Forgotten Hope mod in this engine wouldve been amazing, its a shame there probably wont be any mod tools for BF3.

I've boldened the bits where they are brining back elements of the previous games. So so glad!! Also pleased they are offering 64 player servers for PC players. Looks like BF is heading back to being a PC majority game.

I liked BC2 but it felt backwards and 'arcadey' in comparison to 2142 which relied on tactis and squad play - which is, imo, what the series is about
