i like Aaron Eckhart, so I might actually see this.

3/2/2011 8:20:22 AM

Really excited for this. The Bad Company games were nice, but a PC-focused Battlefield is what I want.

The faces in this game look amazing, very realistic.

3/2/2011 4:03:40 PM

good animation systems go a long way torwards immersion and its nice to see someone working on it.

i hope they dont console it up like the did w/ bfbc2. bc2 has a nice engine but the maps are tiny and the gameplay is kinda flat.

3/2/2011 4:52:44 PM

^ The developers have specifically stated that BF3 will be focused on PC, it just happens to be getting console ports as well.

64 player multiplayer, jets, etc. This is a sequel to Battlefield 2, not Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

3/2/2011 5:01:01 PM

cool cool

3/2/2011 5:07:09 PM

Nice, Battlefield 2 is probably my favorite online multiplayer FPS ever so hopefully this will live up to it.

3/2/2011 5:09:54 PM

This game sure looks pretty. I loved the days of BF1942, Desert Combat and BF2. I dont have a PC anymore and it would be stupid to get one just for this but man its tempting.

You underestimate the power of Battlefield on the PC.

It's a religious experience.

3/2/2011 9:08:23 PM

god i hope my pc can run this.

3/2/2011 9:56:49 PM

looks pretty amazing

3/3/2011 7:51:56 AM

Computer rebuild: commencing. Entering planning stage.

3/3/2011 8:51:10 AM

i7 CPU, 8GB RAM, HD 5870 GPU, 26" screen, full gaming setup, I'M FUCKING READY FOR THIS.

I know that's what I'm scared of. This shit pulls you in. I can't tell you how many time I would sit down to play a round or two and the next thing you know its 2am.

If they could bring the heli controls of DC into BF3 that would be bomber!

3/3/2011 12:20:04 PM

Yeah, I loved finding Apache dogfight servers in DC.

If jets are back I might have to actually find a joystick for my new comp. I loved flying aircraft in 1942 and DC but I'd hate to use a mouse/keyboard for it.

I am going to need more RAM for this shit.

<3 helicopters in BF2

3/6/2011 11:33:48 AM

i had given up PC in favor of PS3. It was always too time consuming and costly to keep my PC up to date.

and now this!

no way my PC could handle this now

3/6/2011 11:39:46 AM

Didnt know this.....sadly.

but

32bit operating systems only use a max of 3.5 GB of RAM.

So there is no reason for me to add more unless I go to 64 bit windows 7.

3/6/2011 12:44:45 PM

there are going to be 2 things that ruin this game outside single player:

a piece of shit leveling system designed to get you to play longer, but adds nothing to the game, similar to what's implemented in call of duty.
- gaining xp and levels to unlock items/abilities is fucking stupid. xp should only exist for match making. just because i dont play all the time, doesn't mean im not good. don't handicap me for having a life
- if you want slick rpg elements/character customization, add a talent tree and give everyone the same number of talents

overpowered vehicles
- not since UT2k4 and maybe halo has a game with vehicle combat been balanced. you're either camped at your spawn by a chopper or you want to kill yourself because there are no vehicles in sight and you have 8 miles to run on foot making you cannon fodder for any camper or passing vehicles.

video was kinda lame. just a guy ranting about how he doesn't want to be owned by people with twitch shooter skills in this game. if you want teamwork, play a tom clancy game

3/6/2011 3:28:00 PM

^^ A lot of I thinks and I wants in that video.

Im sure DICE has done their homework and knows their market.

3/6/2011 3:45:05 PM

All he plays in Call of Duty. Its a twitch game.

He wants to take the weighty feel of battlefield and make it a little more friendly for call of duty players. But not ruin what makes battlefield battlefield.

3/6/2011 4:48:53 PM

From a gameplay standpoint, I pray Battlefield 3 doesn't turn out anything like Call of Stupidity.

3/6/2011 5:51:59 PM

the game just looks...amazing.

3/7/2011 7:30:40 AM

get rid of unlocks. that shit is dumb and gay. you can keep stats around for the people who care about that crap but making playtime a requirement to get effective weapons is just lame.

makes more sense to have weapon selection be map based anyway. have weapon availability be based on what points you have capped/resources. people who dont play as a team (stats whores and campers) get fucked in stats and gear. people who do play as a team are rewarded with better shit.

obviously you need to take balance into consideration so maps dont instantly get one sided all of sudden. Superior gear should just be a little bit superior. maps should set up that when even teams are playing the superior gear should give enough of an advantage for them to push the other back, but the maps should also be large enough that the underdog team could send a few squads to take over key points to get some of their gear back.

I really enjoy the large 64 player maps on Battlefield. The only thing that sucks is if you eject from your plane/chopper and wind up in the middle of nowhere without a vehicle.

3/7/2011 10:58:18 AM

Spawn, get fastest vehicle, go bat shot crazy through enemy lines dodging tank fire and all sorts of insanity. Get to enemy spawn, kill a couple spawners, Steal respawned tank and drie around like a madman until killed or escape.

This by itself is enough for 20 hours gameplay. But just going ape shit in the ATV or cars always hilarious. The 9 times out of 10 the tanks can't hit you. The general confusion created when you just ignore everything and drive by them is always silly.

hold down the horn while driving the atv for best effect

3/7/2011 1:02:11 PM

Yes!

3/7/2011 1:03:43 PM

Of course, there's always the standard Battlefield vehicle scenario:

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep


Boom!


Shit!



Worst thing about the game is spawning in an area with no vehicles.

3/7/2011 2:02:54 PM

lol and the mad dash for vehicles the second everyone spawns... the dudes with more armor (support and I forget the other one) couldn't sprint as long so they'd get shafted.

3/7/2011 2:54:16 PM

How do you record both the video and sound of a game while playing it. I know FRAPS is video only yes?

People showed some speculation in this thread so I thought I would repeat something.

Jets are confiiiiiiiirmed.

3/8/2011 1:10:21 AM

I can confirm that there will be dirt in BF3.

3/8/2011 3:39:06 PM

I can also confirm that this the new prone position in BF3

3/8/2011 5:36:43 PM

http://www.ea.com/battlefield3/videos/faultline-episode-2

too bad i hate the gameplay style or else i would be buying this game :-/

3/16/2011 6:22:07 PM

talked to the devs about this game at PAX and got to watch one of the devs play it in one of the closed rooms (long ass line). The gameplay looks really good.

the multiplayer is going to have a shitty class based leveling system as i predicted that will make the game shit to play online if you don't play super regularly, which makes absolutely no sense to me since that's extra server cost the EA guys incur for no additional revenue.

I guess i'll just play the 1 player on console in a rental

i just saw this video posted.

i'm new to the battlefield games and don't know much about them. this looks like a copy of call of duty to me. is the gameplay like COD?

4/19/2011 8:32:20 AM

no, the battlefield series doesn't have shitty run and gun multiplayer

ps - COD copied battlefield...and by copied I mean they took the modern setting, made a good single player story, then shit all over the rest of the concept

4/19/2011 9:29:43 AM

call of duty is a piece of shit so lets hope not

4/19/2011 9:32:08 AM

I miss the naval combat from 1942. Most people didn't bother but it was awesome when you had people who would do it.

Mount up a battle ship with like 4 guys, circle it around midway or the other atol bombing the shit out of the islands while guys take out planes with the aa guns, every once and a while I get out of my station and hit the ship with the wrench awesome

4/19/2011 10:43:51 AM

so what is this multiplayer like?

b/c the video i posted looks just like COD, as far as single player

4/19/2011 10:47:15 AM

in 1942 and BF2 the combat was pretty open and included manned airplane / helo (in BF2 and Desert Combat) and Naval including submarine shit which was pretty terrible haha (in BF1942). The big destroyers were fun as fuck though.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.
