Here's about 17 minutes of gameplay, and they explain the server load system, and differences in the multiplayer and single-player modes.

Appreciate the link and the sentiment, but for me it's this exact video that is part of the reason I'm still worried we aren't going to get this game.

Here's my take-- I thought calling it gameplay was a huge stretch. It's 17 minutes of the player shooting at a building, and invisible off-screen enemies shooting rockets at said building. Other than the building (and the rockets) the entire environment is empty.

Granted it's been 18 months since this video was shared so a lot of progress can have been made since then.... but on the other hand, it's been 18 months since this video was shared-- and we haven't seen anything else, have we?

Damn. The Awakenings DLC for DA Origins is more money than the game itself.

As someone who liked Inquisition I want to jump into the first one. Is the DLC that good and or worth it?

I'm guessing none of these games are included with ea access?? Might have to hold off for that if not, seems inevitable.

Crackdown and/or Crackdown 2 on BC.

Why in the hell hasn't this happened yet?

They may be heavily CPU dependent games. If so, the BC versions may run poorly and hence why they haven't come yet.

Dragon Age Origins is so damn awful on the 360. The graphics, the abysmal UI... I gave up on it after 3-4 hours.

I eventually rebought it on PC, and it's like an entirely different game.

DA:O runs even worse on PS3 if you can imagine. On the other hand, the PC version basically requires a M&K setup to play effectively, so I may just play the 360 version anyway.

Great to see the return of the flow of BC games. I don't own any of the new batch (nor intend to), but it's always nice to see the progression of that program. :)

bf3stats.com says there are 1,116 people playing BF3. That's not surprising but that's not good lol. It'll be hard to find a game in your mode of choice in your region I bet. There are 3.9K on PS3 and 5.2K on PC to give you an idea of how little are playing on 360.

Well it always sits arround that on a normal day. So that will increase.

Holy shit, Battlefield 3 is 30+ GB.

I guess it's forcing us to download all the DLC. I don't remember if it was mandatory on 360 but it might have been since the gameplay patches seemed to come with the DLC releases.

Getting off-topic but I remember people were deleting updates on 360 and the game would still let them play online so people were running around with pre-nerf IR scopes while everyone else was playing with the IR scope nerf. So cheap. I assume they fixed that lol.

All the FEAR games.

I hope that BFBC2 turns up on EA access

It was GWG but I hope it does just to bring a nice population boost. I also hope Vietnam gets more people now, because it was pretty much dead before I got my X1. I'll still try once I can though.

BF3 on Access would be nice just to go back and get 100%. I also had Premium there but I never really loved that game honestly.

Crackdown will come. Prey probably too with the reboot. Quake 4 probably. Majin - maybe? That game is on my card but I gave up on it.

Now all I'm left wanting for backwards compatibility are Vanquish, Revengeance and Ace Combat 6. Binary Domain would be nice too, I guess.

Is BF3 worth buying just for the campaign mode? Im not interested in the MP but I have seen some gameplay videos of the campaign on YouTube and it looks tense! I loved the campaign modes of CoD MW.

I liked it more then BF4 and BF1 campaign. Its just a typical modern warfare shooter campaign.
