The only BF3 campaign level I liked was "Comrades", it felt like a real, living environment. While it was still very linear, it didn't feel like you were just running in a straight line.

You saw the exterior streets, entered through the carpark, and worked your way all through a fairly varied building layout, then the action spilled back out onto the streets. Aprart from the awful QTE fights it was pretty enjoyable.

It was a shameless COD rip-off, but at least it was a good one.

BC1 was fun and then it went downhill.
Serious tone brings serious problems.

i'm still sour that they ruined the singleplayer campaigns. BC1 was really fun and the levels were much more open ended.

I still miss the old Haggard from Bad Company 1. He was entertaining, loved explosions, funny, loved explosions. In Bad Company 2 he suddenly got into serious mode and it all got a lot more boring. That combined with the story that went to rouge squad shenanigans looking for personal wealth to "save the world hnnnnng! 'Merica!".

Also, Rainbow Sprinkles still remains one of my favorite Battlefield ads.

haha, forgot about that one already! See, even that trailer alone is much better than BC2 and BF3 campaigns combined!

Wasnt this directly poking fun at the R6 Vegas series?

Great commercials for these games...

COD rip-off? really?

another thing: BRING BACK VOTE TO KICK!!

man why is Dice so lame.

Sarcasm? A team of Russians fight through a stock exchange, followed by a police blockade, and then the sequence ends with a nuke going off.

 

[borius]

so is it really scheduled for 11pm pdt, at night in San Francisco while the rest of the world is deeply sleeping or is it 11pm GMT?

 

[Perkel]

so how many hours ?

 

[Respawn]

another thing: BRING BACK VOTE TO KICK!!

Never should have took that away.

 

[EatChildren]

I hope so.

If they release one of those sketchy trailers that really doesn't show anything and you have to fish out details from it by your imagination I'm gonna be bloody pissed

You need not worry.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I hope the player count is upped significantly on the PS4 version. I'm departing from PC and heading back into the console ghetto for the next few years, so it better be up to snuff.

Ooh man Bad company was so good.
Would love to have BC3 next year. BF will probably go the cod route with yearly releases

Agree, really liked Haggard.

the Metal Gear one was my favorite.

 

[Noisepurge]

so how many hours ?

can someone make one of those picture/website countdowns that show the correct hour amount?

The "Mad World" one was awesome as well. xD

there we go, thanks! (add this to OP too)

 

[TalesOfWin]

What time does the GDC BF4 event in SF start today?

 

[olimpia84]

another thing: BRING BACK VOTE TO KICK!!

Pleaaase add this feature

 

[gaming_noob]

Whoa..almost called in sick because I misread it to be 11AM PDT. Doh...

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Why would they show this at 2 am est? Or am I counting wrong?

 

[phosphor112]

You're counting

Spoiler

right

 

[RoKKeR]

You need not worry.

So the length is, acceptable at least? That's good to know.

BATTLEFIELD 3 REVISITED
In October 2011, Battlefield 3 was released. The Pwned show recently visited Stockholm to interview DICE veterans Lars Gustavsson and Patrick Bach as they sum up their entire Battlefield 3 journey -- From the early design days to the recent launch of End Game.

On March 27, a new era begins with the first gameplay reveal from Battlefield 4. http://www.battlefield.com/

[i-Lo]

I just hope they will rectify their obsession with abusing SSAO/HBAO.

 

[EatChildren]

Nobody will have a problem with the length, at all. I have no idea what the actual content is though. Not yet anywho.

 

[RoKKeR]

Alright then, should be interesting.

In addition to the San Fran event, KGM (GM at DICE) said there is an event in Stockholm today as well.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I just hope they will rectify their obsession with abusing SSAO/HBAO.

I can't think of many devs that don't harbour this abusive relationship tbh.

 

[Vinterbird]

There could stuff coming out by accident now. Journalist just sat down to see the game and play it.

 

[i-Lo]

I can't think of many devs that don't harbour this abusive relationship tbh.

In recent memory, Far Cry 3, BF3 and MoH Warfighter have been the at the forefront of utilizing that feature in a way that shouldn't be used. I really can't stand the black halo as if the object casting it was right up against another comparatively brighter object/wall.

 

[KyleN]

Omg.. I just found out my friend is in Stockholm to see BF4.

 

[L1NETT]

Hype building. Oh, pic is from twitter.

It has been, though, for the majority of its life as a series.

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

I'm hyped!!!

 

[LittleNemoNES]

All aboard the hype train!

Man I really enjoyed (miss) some of the ass-hattery that was possible in BF2: M95 cockpit on Oman,
C4ing commander assets, invading enemy bases!

I hope they bring some of that back.
I hope they include in game talk this time.

 

[waypoetic]

Hype building. Oh, pic is from twitter.

Hm. That's in Sweden. Nice.

 

[derFeef]

They are treating this big, I like it. BF must make good money for EA.

 

[KyleN]

Hm. That's in Sweden. Nice.

Yea, and this is how it looks inside;

 

[CryptiK]

Must haves:
Battlerecorder
Spectator
Commander

Remove:
Suppression


That is all the e-sports community asks these days.

 

[EatChildren]

How do you know this? HOW???

EA's push for this is big. Most journalists should have seen the trailer by now.

I guess previews go up as soon as they launch the trailer for the public?

 

[derFeef]

Seems like it.

#BF4 embargo after the reveals tonight in Sthlm and San Francisco is released tomorrow morning, CET time.

 

[EatChildren]

I guess previews go up as soon as they launch the trailer for the public?

Not sure how it's working, to be honest. We're not doing a preview, because we're in Australia, and if there was an AU hands-on event we weren't invited to it. I didn't know there was a pre-reveal hands-on event, but I do know press should have seen the trailer by now. As I said, I know people won't be disappointed by the trailer's length, but I don't know what's in it.

If there will indeed be hands-on previews then my suspicions of this being a pretty massive reveal should be correct.

 

[Nirolak]

Well BF3 shipped over 17 million copies (it's unclear if the 20 million comment was also copies), so it's one of the absolute biggest franchises in gaming right now.

 

[xenist]

Please be more like 1942. Please be more like 1942. Please be more like 1942.

I need war from this game, not deathmatch.

 

[deadlast]

I didn't buy BF3 because my PC can't handle all of the awesomeness of that game. But I will be getting BF4 with my PS4.

 

[phosphor112]

I'm surprisingly hyped for this. I'm not a fan of EA or paying for "premium" (or like services) but I'm hyped... probably because it's next gen. I still won't get it until a Premium version is out.

 

[Akainu]

Submarine combat would be cool as shit.

Submarine combat in real life is incredibly boring.

Well most combat is but there is at least some potential when there are firefights.
