Another BF3 thread...I know...

[vip3r87]

Well, I figured this little add-on pack deserves its own thread...the game simply looks stunning

I'm happy that my SLI gtx465's and my 16gb of ram upgrade won't go to waste.

SO excited. And tomorrow Dead Island comes out...good time to be a nerd :P

AND to top it off

+1!

Can't wait!

[ronphan]

This seems to be epic!!!!!

[Kiyomi]

hmmm, still gonna stick with mw3. even though this looks amazing, gameplay looks like crisis.

[Mitchell3]

:huge smile cant wait, i went through Bad Co. 2 story again recently and got the hardest difficulty achievement (blowing up helicopters was the biggest PITA in a game in a long time!). Even BC2 has some sick realism to it that I love. love blowing up cover too! these videos though... whole other level.

[Soulsofmischief]

hmm.. this might be worth checking out..

[Hyperion]

Question in, will you?

[m_bisson]

This is a must buy for PC because there will be cross-platform gameplay. That means while you're sitting there twiddling your little joysticks I'll be pointing my mouse right at you and killing you. Muahahahahaha

[ParsM3GT]

there will be cross-platform gameplay.

Really? I didn`t know this was possible.

PC FTW!

You sure about the cross-platform gameplay? Hmmm, looks like i have to back out on the PS3 version and get it for my PC.

[m_bisson]

No i made it up actually. :p PC FTW!

PS. Don't be so gullible on the internet.

For the record, even though I prefer PC over consoles, I will be buying BF3 for 360. Why? EA makes you install Origin to run BF3 on your pc. So if you have illegally downloaded movies/music/software, they are able to record that data and use it however they please.

I seriously have an issue with that..... I also have lots of downloaded things. lol.

[ParsM3GT]

BF3 open beta is up on the playstation store. :headbang

[JonsMazda]

:headbang

I am playing BF3 beta and I love it!

[SilentJay]

Dual 8800GT blew world of warcraft out of the water, but it just might be time to get a new videocard or two :P

[ottoyu34]

Tried it out last night. It's awesome! :headbang

I notice in the beta, seems like physics destruction is off comparing to those videos (everything on High)

[Mitchell3]

man, I was playing beta last night with a friend, and there was a guy over level 40 already.:sad

its pretty good but I get owned most of the time, managed a 7 kill streak though :thumbsup. Recon ftw!

[m_bisson]

They turned it off because it was causing issues with people falling under the maps. If you could run it on high now, expect medium in the full game

[Mitchell3]

:whoa What ever you do DONT WATCH THE VIDEOS, their soooo awesome and make me so much more pumped :P
When this game comes out, totally going to black out all the lights and pump the volume :D

It was also a beta.

I'm curious what IGN is going to give it.

[jonjon72]

4 more days.....

[ParsM3GT]

Still not sure if I should pick it up for the pc or ps3. :S

[Booostin]

Definitely PC.... providing you have the power to back it up

IGN gives Battlefield 3 (PC) a 9.0/10

http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1210387p1.html

[ParsM3GT]

No problems there. My rig can play any game.

I have all Battlefield games for the pc. So I will probably stick with the trend.

[Soyabean]

Hahaha, Im not that cool. I pre-ordered it so they have a copy reserved for me already. I will pick it up tomorrow during lunch at the heartland bestbuy

[Mitchell3]

:( If i pick it up it could be the key factor in making me failing my midterm this week. :rolleyes oh well

[klym]

Yeah, EB called me about the midnight release... I'll just wait to pick up my preorder tomorrow morning. I can only imagine how many hours of my life that game will consume...

[eguiyab]

So any hands on reviews?? Don't know if I wanna splurg on this just to trade it in for mw3

[Mitchell3]

:P lots o fun, big improvement in the series. Servers still rough though. I've been kicked a few times just like in the beta..

[mazda_gurl]

Grabbed it today - loving the multiplayer...havent touched the campaign

[Slade]

the #$%#$% servers are down for 360!!! So not impressed, I even had to buy points so I can play online (modded box)

On this specific outage i was in the middle of smiling while in a tank obliterating people as they charged the tunnel. :( boop bye bye lost connection to ea servers.

[ParsM3GT]

Thankfully there is no problem with the pc version. But then again most of the servers are private/not EA servers.

Played a few missions in single player. Tried co-op a few times. Graphics are sweet.
I`ll check out multiplayer tonight.

[Slade]

Finally got around to playing a bit last night,

Started with single player waiting to fix the multiplayer issues, the HD pack download is insane, the graphics are possibly the best I have ever seen in a game.

Finally ended up trying co-op with a buddy and we were stuck in the helicopter for like 30mins, still haven't gotten passed it, and apparently I suck at flying lol.

Definitely seems like a good game though, gonna get deeper into tonight and on the weekend.

i played last night on my pc..so far no issues on servers...been holding up pretty good...

[SilentJay]

Dual 6870's on their way from Newegg, then the fun begins! ^ . ^

[Burner]

I've been playing on 360. I suck real bad but I love this game!

[ParsM3GT]

whats your user id? I will add you in Origin. Mine is "jparsc"

Nice.

I just bought another gtx 260 896mb to go with the one I already have. Can`t wait to get it.

[Slade]

Well I have determined I suck :headbang , but I will keep playing and trying to get better haha, it's definitely a change from Gears 3.

[MistaChin]

Officially addicted! The multiplayer is insane!!

[eguiyab]

The multiplayer is insane!!

Better than Black Ops ???

[MistaChin]

Better than Black Ops ???

What's that?? lol jk. I wouldn't be able to make that comparison. I've never played Black Ops.

[Soyabean]

Better than Black Ops ???

Yes better. The map is bigger so you dont just rush in, die, and respawn. You actually try a little harder to stay alive now.

That being said, im still getting mw3 though haha. I have all the CODs

[Kiyomi]

cant wait till mw3 comes out, bf3 looks cool, but getting shot a million miles away by some plane or tank... not for me.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Okay so I finished the campaign last night and have to say i am pretty sure it is the shortest fps game campaign I have ever played.. and because I normally don't play alot of multiplayer... I was a little disappointed in it.

The graphics were amazing, but more than a few times I witness multiple glitches... floating flower pots, body parts hovering in the middle of nowhere, rim/tire halfway into the road, parachute backback visible through drivers seats from backseat..

This is on the 360.. anyone see similar flaws? or am I just expecting too much from a $60 video game?

The PC version has almost no graphics glitches, but if you only experienced cosmetic issues then that's not bad.

Add me if anyone has it on PC: m_bisson87

It felt pretty short, but it was pretty good. I read on a review somewhere they thought it was pretty much like a tutorial for multiplayer. In other (not-so-surprising) news, I'm getting destroyed on MP on the 360... :(

[Mitchell3]

Its mainly a multiplayer game. Thats why most people get it. Cods stories are usually just as short since they know everyone will be getting it for the multiplayer. What ya gotta do is up the difficulty, wont feel so short anymore lol. dieing over and over makes it feel nice and long
