holy crap.. that looks epic…
AND I’M NOT EBEN REALLY A FAN OF THESE SORTS OF GAMES! 😐
That being said… i would much prefer to be piloting pure unadulterated euphoria
OMG This is what i want, 64 MP goodness with tanks, planes and ground support vehicles and troops.
Now why the **** does EA have to screw this all up with no MOD support ?????? This game could of been epic and would of sold way more copies on PC.
But so far they havent charged for maps, all free for VIP members (anyone who bought the game new or bought the access code). The only things they charged for were Vietnam (completely separate MP),onslaught mode and spec op kits in BFBC2. And they said that Frostbite 2 is too complex to release mod tools anyway. I think you are confusing EA for activision here 😉
the original Battlefield never had an mod support either until it was like a year old. Infact lots and lots of games never had mod support or SDKs yet modders found a way
Consoles are only going to have 32 player MP because the hardware is so shitty and outdated (within 6 months of release) that the platform cannot handle the extra players.
Very nice and back to 64 player servers too. Only one thing stopping me considering getting BF3 – Origin.
can you explain to me why please? i understand that a lot of people want the majority of their games linked to a steam account, but is opening another launcher instead of steam really going to kill your entire enjoyment of the game?
It’s got nothing to do with Steam and everything about having to pay to extend the ability to download a game you’ve purchased. To a maximum of 5 years extension. After that? Purchase the game again. It’s a crappy business model and I simply don’t support it.
“Get it on disc then”, I hear you say. Well that certainly is an option – but by default EA would still think I support Origin and their payment policy.
Let alone the fact it’s based on EADM and that was a horrendous mess with support alone. Your newly purchased key doesn’t work? EA say “tough, buy another key”.
You’d be better off just giving your money away, to random people on the street, in cases like that.
farout.
i dont get this 64 man battle thing, BC2 had that, so is it 64V64, or 64 all up? :/
And the memories of many a late night playing BF2 come flooding back…
BC1/2 can go suck it, THIS is what the BF series is all about! Stupidly Epic Massive PC Multiplayer CARNAGE!
then upgrade it really doesnt cost as much as you think. if u currently have a dual core which like everyone has since like 2000 just slap in a semi new graphics card and you can play it. can get gt430’s for like $58 and that can easily handle bf3
Seriously considering cancelling my console preorder to wait until I can get a new PC. >_>
Do we know if it has LAN play yet? I’m hoping it does, as BF2 is still a favourite at LANs in my town.
HAHA wow… F-18 vs SU-27
Take that train-tracked Ancient Warfare 3 lol
Man Bobby Kotick must be shitting his pants after seeing this.
I bet he’d give his right testicle to try out the beta (If only EA let him)
Not to nitpick but it’s the modernised SU-35 with 3D thrust-vectoring. An absolute beast of manouverability..
This clip just killed any moral or inner doubts I have about Origin. Origin client now installed. Preorder purchased. Let the battle commence.
Now that is sweet! If the masses dont buy this instead of Call of Duty, they is to far gone…
It may have some pretty post processing visuals, but It has nothing of Arma3, 64 players is nothing, Arma2 supported hundreds.
THAT, is Battlefield.
Makes you wonder why they even bothered with Medal of Honour last year.
Also, I want this soundtrack. Now.
Goodbye $1300 from my Wallet 🙁
But seriously.. This just made me VERY EXCITE HIGH 5! Loooks amazing
This game is looking like exactly what I have always wanted in a multiplayer shooter. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
I never liked this over Call of Duty, but this year I will have to make an exception. Looks awesome (tho probably only run on low graphics on my computer :/)
My advice for people who can not afford a good rig to play this. http://postimage.org/image/31wlvyquc/
It looks schmick, smooth, intense and a lot of fun in all aspects be it on foot, tank helicopter or jet. Yes
