Let's be honest. Rush became TDM if one team sucked. And it would be that way all to the end of the round. Rush was broken most of the time.

Battlefield 3 @ E3, Free Battlelog Announced [4+ Hours Of Livestreams Tuesday]
- Thread starter Hellcrow
- Start date
Let's be honest. Rush became TDM if one team sucked. And it would be that way all to the end of the round. Rush was broken most of the time.
The other night I was talking to a friend of mine and told him that DICE/EA were either going to begin revamping their social tools to rival the COD Elite features and offer it for free or that they had already started. I'm not sure what the case actually is, but either way, fantastic.
Very, very excited to see multiplayer next week.

The funny thing is that the Battlelog will probably give features that are incredibly comparable to the free stuff that COD: Elite will offer, but EA gets this easy PR victory due to Activision seriously bungling the Elite announcement by being so cagey about what is free and what is paid.

Bring back barrels that break the game when you drive over them!
Awesome jab at CoD Elite. I'll be buying both, but it's good to see EA keeping Acti honest.
NinjaEdit: CO-OP!

I just hope they have a training mode so I can learn to properly fly a helicopter.

That and if MW3 is heading towards large open battles.. what does BF3 have to prove? They've always had large scale battles with vehicles.lockload said:

Not to mention actual damage range variance from shots due to distance.
And actual new engines.
and maps designed for 64 players.
In other games you have to do some server tricks to get 64 players, and hope the maps don't crash lol.
While it is easy to understand his point about the long term and how DICE could look like a 'me-too-but-better' company, they already have plenty of good introductions in their resume.

Everything is a distant second to this for me. My love for DICE grows. Can't wait to see how these community features improve the game.

So what? I was referring to the marketing. Interpret then respond.lockload said:
Not a single game has ever dominated the competition by constantly reminding people how much better it is than the leading brand. You just make a good game and let it sell itself AS itself. COD4 was not the Halo-beater and did not constantly try to compare itself to halo. The same applied to Halo back when Unreal and Quake dominated the scene. It was just a new game...and people flocked. "Sega does what Nintendon't" didn't do Sega any favors in the long run. Again, not referring to the quality of Sega's products here.

COD has damage drop, usually to the order of 50-40, 40-30, 40-20, 35-25, etc.IchigoSharingan said:
All Sniper rifles and most LMG's have a flatline damage value in mw2 and BO
Not like in real life standing 30ft back would make a bit of difference
What I would LOVE to see is RISING damage for sniper rifles, example 40close-70far in cod and 50-70 in BC, would absolutely BREAK quickscoping, which relies on massive damage at close range with no time for opponents to shoot back. Now if you found a way to quickscope with those damage numbers you would only get hitmarkers unless you did it at a range, in which case QS'ing is inferior to standard firing.

This is just too god like. Whenever I hop into a BF3 thread I come away pleased and grow even more cold to MW3.
Hell... did I just read right and see there will be a TDM game type? As in, standard FPS TDM game type? Sometimes I just wanna fuck guys up and NOT try to work together on an objective with randoms, and the inclusion of a standard TDM game type is music to my ears.
Still a day one buy for me on PC. DICE is definitely out for blood this year.
Your move MW3.

They should just get rid of QSing... I am in favor of hitting a target and taking it out before it has a chance to react. But QSing gives too much of an advantage in that regard. I prefer bolt action rifles with no scope.

The new news in this thread could be almost word for word about MW3 and would be true.
Co-op - Yep
TDM - Yep
Stat Tracking for Free - Yep. (There's absolutely no reason to assume that it won't be for MW3, unless you think Activision is actually insane.)
Pretty much the only thing that wouldn't be true is the ability to disable vehicles. And I guess the comments about cutting edge graphics if you're being snarky. (Though I doubt console BF3 will look that much better than MW3.)

Pretty sure it'll be 30fps like BC2
Only on PC. Console versions will no doubt be ~30, which is a fair trade off given the tech behind the game, tech that makes an actual difference to how the game plays such as destruction.tuco11 said:
The thought of this makes me so happy.Nirolak said:
Oh and I hope/expect DICE to make Conquest their primary focus when demoing the game.

The differences in the engines is uncanny. DICE deserves praise for their hard work on the new Frost Bite engine. For that reason alone it isn't snarky to make a comparison.

Fixed.
And your last comment is HILARIOUS. There are games out now that look better than MW3--it's not a difficult feat. BF3's graphics aren't just shiny shaders and highly detailed models, it's the lighting and animation.
