Before you bash, you should know that I acknowledge the PC's superiority in gaming, but the fact is that I already have a 360 and a non-gaming PC, so I don't want to spend 600+ dollars on a gaming PC.
And it sucks because I REALLY want the full BF experience.
However one thing worries me about the console version... I know its going to be smaller in scale but I REALLY hope they balance it accordingly. On BC2, whenever I play Heavy Metal it is SO bad because it is TOO big. I'm scared all of BF3 will be like this...
Also, there better be a way to get the beta without buying Medal of Honor..

Full info apparently coming in 2h?
Yup they talk about 'something tomorrow'. mhmhmhArnie said:Judging by the tweets we'll get the first gameplay trailer tomorrow. Hope to god it's not focused on the singleplayer campaign like these magazine articles seem to be.

First post in a Battlefield thread? You are officially the best Junior.85thday said:Now, that sounds good. Hey all this is my first post, thanks for the info .
I'm not sure my body can take it. That and the imminent Gears 3 MP video are hard to shake from my mind.wwm0nkey said:If not tomorrow we only have to wait a few more days

Wow, it'd be pretty nice if we get at least a minute and a half of footage. Game sounds incredible.Fersis said:Yup they talk about 'something tomorrow'. mhmhmh
I doubt it. The majority of fans can't read German articles and they wouldn't publicly advocate such ubiquitous dissemination of information which is meant to be exclusive to consumers of a specific publication. That would be like saying, "fuck yea, there's some new information in a German magazine but we acknowledge the print industry is being butt fucked by the internet so it'll be a good day for everyone after it gets scanned and posted within hours".desu said:They probably just hint at all the german magazines getting their articles out today/tomorrow.
The worldwide interest in Battlefield 3 is very high so I made a summary of the most important information of the GameStar cover story (Issue 04/2011). First of all let me start with a comparison to the article Matt Bertz wrote for GameInformer. German editor Fabian Siegismund also played the demo level but describes it in another way and gives more detail to the destruction. Here is an example: when the huge building collapses during the earthquake it buries and destroys a Blackhawk helicopter. Patrick Bach says that debris can hurt characters. Important here: we are talking about the singleplayer. Not tested or confirmed for the multiplayer (Bach: "We'll see")!
Talking about the multiplayer the text contains a short summary about the multiplayer aspects editor Siegismund was able to see. Ill give you that aspects in form of a list.
* Most important fact but most likely a typo or mistake: 32 players for the console.
* At a screen there were four classes with five slots for equipment. No further word about the details of the equipment ist given
* Siegismund says that he has seen a F-16 and a Su-27 Jet. Important here: there is a render / picture at the article that shows a F1-8 Super Hornet and not a F-16. Dont know if this means the existence of both jets or a typo.
* Siegesmund talks about a Replay-Function which was also included in Battlefield 2. In our opinion he is talking about the Battlerecorder (as a function to replay whole games). His statement concerning this function: DICE is playing around with a feasible version for BF3. The function is not confirmed.
* Sound: DICE is working with a revised system for the sound that enables players to detect from where a vehicle or enemy soldier is coming. Every object (aka tank, helicopter has up to 80 soundchannels with different sound from different angles.
* Singleplayer: there will be Quicktime-Events where you have to push the mouse buttons to win a fight. The example here: an enemy tries to stab you with a knife and you have to defend you (knock him down / kill him).

With the consistency and strength of the tweets I'm expecting some screen shots at the very least, if not a short video.

I just think that information from Gamestar isn't worth the levels of hype many DICE employees have been raising about tomorrow. It's nothing we didn't already know really. I think we'll get a sneakpeak video tomorrow, perhaps under a minute of actual trailer, and then the full 3ish minute, megaton, sex machine trailer on 1st March.desu said:Official release is in a week, why would they release a video now? Also we're living in the time of the internet. It means nothing if new information is coming out in japanese, german or whatever language there is. Mostly you can find translated info pretty fast!
Well done my friend. Baptism by fire.woober said:Oops... got too excited about bf3 when I saw that shot. Won't do it again, promise!

HELL YES!desu said:Also there is another detail in the german text which is slightly more detailed. Apparently one of the solo missions will be in jet.

Ah fuck them and their teases. That teaser trailer was so shitty and they hyped the hell out of it. It's probably just an expiring embargo on the screenshots in Game Informer.derFeef said:

This sounds god damn delicious! I only have a 2.1 system for sound but I always pick "War Tapes" in the sound options and it sounds fantastic. With headphones it sounds equally nice.Sound: DICE is working with a revised system for the sound that enables players to detect from where a vehicle or enemy soldier is coming.

I'd expect something more substantial than an article containing the same information which has already been spread throughout the community. A gameplay trailer is pure conjecture but we'll definitely be getting something.Kibbles said:Woah, really? *trying not to get hopes up*
The Battlefield moments videos are godly indeed. That said, I would prefer something like that for the reveal - but it is going to be singleplayer for sure.Technosteve said:my body is ready for a DICE Quality trailer their multiplayer demos are God Quality
Yup, game footage usually debuts with Single player stuff.woober said:If they do intend on showing footage, it'll most likely be single player ... which would make me sad (not really). But multiplayer is where it's at!! If it's going to be like BC2, they'll keep multiplayer footage away from us its nearly time for launch.
