Title: Battlefield 3
Post by: Jeyk on July 30, 2010, 04:17:12 pm
I didn't know this was on the horizon. Apparently, purchasing the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor (which is currently in beta - uses the BFBC2 engine http://www.medalofhonor.com/betainfo) secures a beta invitation to Battlefield 3.

Speaking of Battlefield...
I discovered today just logging in with your BF:BC2 account here: http://www.badcompany2.ea.com/login will activate 1 veteran status point and unlock the M1 Garand in game.

I might actually be bugged... and for some reason EA thinks I own it for PS3 as well. (I don't own a console) So it gave me the bonus, lol.

Are we still talking about Battlefield, or did we move on to Justin Beiber?

No. Completely serious. I honestly am furious as this franchise and all of it's clones. Honestly the entire gaming industry need a revolt and revolution in my eyes but that's just me.
The useless and rage evoking DRM, the lack of allowing players to create their own servers coupled with the bugs and downtime of their official servers, the omission of offline LAN play, punishing the people who pay for the game... The obvious push towards console play.. the sheer lack of creativity in these games sickens me. It's the same shit over and over and over and people buy it up. It's the same reason that as much as it hurt... and I mean bad... I refused to purchase starcraft 2. :( I refuse to participate in this garbage.
Companies like EA and now Activision (yeah and SOE too) are very much everything that is wrong with gaming now. But EA... ugh.. the fact that they killed off the onslaught update to BC2 to work on BF3 (also killed 1943 for the PC) shows that they aren't interested in making a game that lasts... they just want to print more boxes with an incremented number on it for that $50.
Also, relevant:
A revolutionary and original spin on the military shooter genre. ..to the max.
Download the game here (http://www.thedutycalls.com/)
I'm not trying to pee in your collective cheerios. I mean obviously people enjoy the games, they're selling well. Personally I feel that it's just bad for gaming in general.

I find that Battlefield is THE online FPS. It does have new things - destroyable buildings etc. Medal of Honor has some, but... not really :/ Crysis 2 looks good multiplayerwise, too.
The only way FPS' are good/differ from one another is awesome campaign storylines (Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare) and amazing cinematic sequences that make you go 'holy fucking shit of Jesus!' (Modern Warfare 2, MoH, Crysis). You can't really change the FPS games without them becoming another game i.e. not an FPS. The only thing they can do is juggle and mix the contents.
I hear you about the PC dumb-down effect but I have an Xbox too, so I don't mind. I'll be buying BF3 on my Xbox.

I'm really hoping this isn't going to be Bad Company 3 but a legitimate sequel to Battlefield 2. Oh how I miss the days of 64 player servers and massive amounts of vehicles on the field.

People shouldn't think we're spending energy on single player when we could have spent it on multiplayer, because we have a full-fledged team working on multiplayer.
Yes. Yes. Yes!

While you wait on Battlefield 3 to come out, enjoy this weekend sale on Bad Company 2/Upgrade Kits/Battlefield 2.
Also, the Vietnam expansion for BC2 is only $9 during this sale.

I think Setun might like the sounds of this:

'The game is still early in development, but I can tell you that Battlefield 3 will have the largest maps we have ever made'. Bach went on, pointing out that BF3 will support 64 players on PC, and it will be possible to have both jets, helicopters, tanks and infantry combat on a single map.

Yup. Prone, tanks, and jets are confirmed by this video. Although, it said something about this being based off pre-alpha software... so there might be a chance something changes... maybe...

But I'm totally stoked for this game.

I wonder if Battlefield Vietnam expansion will go on sale this week? EA is having a deal everyday this week on a set of games, on Steam.

Ugh. The e-mail account that I had associated with my Steam account is now defunct, so I can't log in on my Macbook. As soon as I get my computer up and running, I'll buy Vietnam at whatever price it is.

MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE. 49 SECONDS OF THE BEST GAME THIS YEAR. When they jump over the edge at the end and then the next frames you saw the rubble come CRUMBLING DOWN AND KILL YOU I lost it. Oh my God this game is going to blow every other shooter out the door.

Here's the question though... How much is it going to cost me for a rig that will run it at that level of detail.
