yeah this isnt BF3 it cant even be competitive sigh...

 

[vanty]

Hopefully defibs aren't in the game at all. Being able to revive dead players isn't a feature in any good FPS.

Every battlefield game since BF2 has had it as far as I know.

Defibs fit into the BF squad/tickets gameplay perfectly.

 

[Massa]

Fixed.

 

[XPE]

4 classes

No enough look at bc2 the class are over powered, support need to come back carrying the LMG and ammo packs, this will cut down on the medic wave and 30mm spammers.

 

[derFeef]

I need my jump to conclusion jpg.

You have to be kidding. The greatest FPS of all time

I had BF1942, no need for ET.

 

[I <3 Memes]

Still no word on if commanders are in? That's the only thing left I haven't heard about that would disappoint me. It's not a BF game without commanders.

 

[EviLore]

Things are getting a bit too loose here. Posting scans and then just editing your post later won't fly.

Don't post scans or ask for PMs of scans. You're going to get banned, and besides that it's very disrespectful (and damaging) to all of our members who are part of the enthusiast press.

 

[RainbowByte]

spam the shit out of the ea bf 3 forums get those sobs to implement a targeted/focused MLAA solution for BF 3, shit is going to be CRAZY.

They need to work around hud issues with it or w/e to not make anything look bad if MLAA fucks with UI elements, give us a hud toggle option. Real life doesn't have a HUD fuck make us count our bullets!

omg I can't fucking wait man!

PC version will most likely ship with 2 or 3 different AA options to support a wide range of PC specs+visual quality refinitements.

MSAA
experimental SRAA
MLAA

 

[raphier]

Okay, now I've seen the pages in full glory, all I can say is wow, lighting is awesome!

However fucking Health regeneration, what's this? A console game?

Looks totally, as GI says, Call Of Duty contender. There is no question about it. Will wait for gameplay.

 

[Spookie]

*Looks at screens*

Oh poo.

I guess it's time to upgrade come October then. *pouts*

 

[CozMick]

Seriously, In my opinion half the fucking disc is wasted by single player shite

 

[Raide]

There will be some people that want BF3 and will never play online. They need some SP content. It might actually be good!

 

[Diablohead]

I hope that MAGNUM AMMO is removed, f that s it's the most annoying thing about bad company 2 for me, 90% of people use it and it feels cheap, like stopping power in MW2 makes things hard for a low level to keep up.

 

[1-D_FTW]

If you have a compelling MP experience, which BF does, you don't need this "carrot on the stick" mentality to keep you playing.

Wait till you actually read the article. I felt as you did. Then my heart sank when I read the GI interviewer. Good god. It made me want to punch some bunnies.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

people are ok with killing people in games but get upset when people swear in games...

..

Battlefield went 7 whole games and 5 expansions without getting all M-rated and sweary. But noooo they had to do it because COD did it and everyone is copying COD.

 

[Souljiro]

-PC version is lead version

O.O!

I'm still not convinced on single player even if it does have coop I never played a BF game for a story, but who know maybe it will be good.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

The Good
64 players.
There is a commander.
Improved destruction, graphics, animation, sound.
Possible Battlerecorder.
PC is supposedly the lead.
Prone.

The What?
Spotting, how will it work?
Squads? Size? Squad leader? Spawning? Orders?
Classes?
Commander mode? BF2-ish abilities? Assets on the map?
Tracers, soldier-dragging, gun-mounting. How will this impact the flow of things?
"More immediate post release content". Don't know if I like the sound of that.
Unlocks. Don't lock away class-vital gear thanks.

The Why?
Singleplayer where serious people run around yelling "Fuck!".

The Fuck...?
No mod tools?

The I Hope There's
Mod tools.
Balanced jets.
Licensed tutorial practice training to make people understand how things work and how you're supposed to play the game. And not the worthless "Press Space to jump" nonsense they did in BF1943. They did let you fly planes by yourself in that game though, that's the type of thing they should expand on.

I just hope that EA doesn't expand their practice of 10,000 $5 DLC packs for weapons and other garbage to this on PC.

Silly me for hoping that the inevitable doesn't happen, right?

Pre-order bullshit, online passes, DLCheats, withheld content and unlock keys are things you're gonna have to expect to grudgingly accept if you're purchasing an EA game.

BF3 is the only game I'd be willing to put up with it for. I sincerely hope the Limited Edition will be it, but yeah, who am I kidding...

There will be some people that want BF3 and will never play online. They need some SP content. It might actually be good!

I'm sure those people could've satiated their need for a military FPS sergeant master campaign elsewhere.

If it's good then that's good, though mod tools would still be of significantly more value to those who DICE claim they're catering to. But more immediate DLC and singleplayer seems to be a priority.

Worry not my friend...

don't see how DICE can win with this. They've boxed themselves into a hole. Their two audiences just want two different games from BF3. I'm confident that the game will be good though.

Well its not that we have lots of footage and info to judge it.
I hope they can add mod tools after release.

I think I'm the perfect audience for this. There are some things I liked more from BF2, others that I liked more in Bad Company. It seems like this is going to be a perfect mix of both for me.

 

[Menelaus]

I hope they can add mod tools after release.

They won't for 2 reasons:

1) They don't want people having access to the FB2 engine for free
2) It makes more fiscal sense to not allow your game to have mods (take the most popular requests and roll them into next year's game)

Good call.

 

[Victarion]

Is that city on GI scans supposed to be Tehran? if yes then LOL.

 

[EVIL]

so will bf3 have a commander? because I cant make out if they are implementing it, or not. as I read it there is no commander, but everybody can call in airstrikes uav's etc. am I correct?

 

[Kade]

Guess I'm going to have to wait and see how this turns out, although I'm not too optimistic.

Surprise me, DICE. Please.

 

[Confidence Man]

There's no commander because not enough people used it, apparently.

 

[FLEABttn]

I done told you, Sulaymaniyah.

Nope, article says it's in.

 

[sflufan]

I thought the article mentioned that Commander Mode is included, but in a "streamlined" form?

 

[Menelaus]

Is that city on GI scans supposed to be Tehran? if yes then LOL.

Iraqi Kurdistan, according to the article.

 

[FLEABttn]

I thought the article mentioned that Commander Mode is included, but in a "streamlined" form?

Correct. They wanted it to be easier to jump into but still have complexity and depth. They haven't mentioned any specifics, but it is in.

 

[EVIL]

I done told you, Sulaymaniyah.



Nope, article says it's in.

from what I read they say its not in. "We could implement it" they say, giving reasons why they could but give more reasons why they wont

 

[Menelaus]

from what I read they say its not in. "We could implement it" they say, giving reasons why they could but give more reasons why they wont

Tweets say otherwise.

 

[sflufan]

Well, someone could settle this by posting the actual text of what was said!

 

[SapientWolf]

Tweets say otherwise.

Which ones?

 

[Menelaus]

Those screens have been confirmed as gameplay by Goldfarb, if anyone cares.

 

[Metalmurphy]

There's no commander because not enough people used it, apparently.

oO Does not compute.


I was always upset that I was never able to be commander cause some higher rank always went first.

Commander mode is awesome and it should make a return.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Looks absolutely amazing and i CANNOT WAIT

 

[FLEABttn]

Well, someone could settle this by posting the actual text of what was said!

Well, I'm at the office until 2:30 Pacific. I won't have magazine access for a good 7 hours. Someone else will have to paraphrase it it you want it sooner than later.

 

[Fersis]

Wow at the negativity.
Lets wait to see some gameplay footage before calling it 'phail! lol DAIZ SUXXS'

 

[domlolz]

I hope the single player is more bad company than call of duty sidestepping all the horrible cliché war bullshit...probably not.

 

[The Faceless Master]

I can't wait for them to confirm I will have to level up to earn my defibs and medpack.

oh no,you won't since you're a battlefield vet!

but those people who never played a battlefield game?

the ones who are used to running and gunning?

they will!

seriously, since they insist on doing the whole unlock thing... what DICE should do (but they don't have the balls to) is make the kits start without the primary weapon. just a sidearm, grenade and kit items! maybe then they will influence people to use them! plus it would be hilarious!

 

[Pete Rock]

Sounds good from the outset, one of the few games I've ever stayed excited for over the years!

 

[Oni Jazar]

Nope, article says it's in.

You sure? It sounds like the article says it's out.

This is by far my most hyped game of the year. I want to retire and play BF3 non-stop.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I am excited that we are getting a new Battlefield game. To me, the Battlefield games have absolutely dwarved all multiplayer games this generation (and perhaps last as well).

 

[The Faceless Master]

oh yeah, one more thing DICE. in BC2, why do vehicles have a horn WHEN YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HEAR YOURSELF BLOWING THE HORN?

don't see how DICE can win with this. They've boxed themselves into a hole. Their two audiences just want two different games from BF3. I'm confident that the game will be good though.

even among just the console audience there are many people (mostly BC1 players) who dislike regenerating health, the killcam and no FF.
