BF3 = PC

MW3 = Console





How it's always been.

Could have been such a good game if made only for PC. Consoles are just limitations. Destruction was even nerfed because of consoles.

No. Both games are done for consoles tbh. BF3 is not a service to the PC community, it is a product to make money on whatever platform.

True enough. Everything is a cash grab these days.

Artistic ability along with quality are going in the waste bin. (e.g. music, games, ?????)

DICE's official Battlefield Twitter said on the 30th of September that 34k preorders have been cancelled. It has came to light that thousands more are doing the same every day.

FUN GAME EH

I HATE EVERYTHING DON'T I

I thought the beta was ok to be honest, Bad Company 2 was iconic, i dont think this one's going to be much worse.

End of the day, BF > COD, think of it as a post-2005 Pro Evo vs FIFA war... bf being fifa :)

Actually, BF is pretty much a more money grabbing series than COD by far.

Saying that, BF Vietnam, BF2 and BF2142 da best, United Offensive, COD2 and MW are pretty much ABAP

Sadly majority is a singleplayer environment, but it is still impressive.

Multiplayer aside, we always knew the singleplayer was going to be mediocre at best. Apparently it turned out to be touted as one of the most rushed and horrendous campaigns of a AAA title of all time. Notable it has very small maps with more reused assets than a CoD multiplayer map created by Treyarch.

Alledgely, the graphics are also poor in it in comparison to the multiplayer.

Singleplayer is always-on DRM with no offline alternative.

I haven't bought it yet. I told my friends I can wait.

This whole web based server list is bullshit though along with Origin.

Game experience would have been much better as an independent game, or through steam.

There are still bugs Dice have to fix.

Singleplayer is apparently short, but from what I've played so far it's very atmospheric (graphically it's the same). As for multiplayer, it's excellent, encountered some issues with latency though but it resolved itself.

As for battlelog, I have no issue with it. DRM has never really concerned me as I've never had an issue with it.

Very atmospheric to find the same body model in the same position 5 times in 10 minutes?

When you have to go out of game to pick a server..

Hitboxes need work.. Other bugs need fixed as well as textures

Mediocre single player...


No DICE for me haha..

I'll wait for a price drop or two. Game isn't worth it's tag atm.

Surely that is what DICE intended, I mean, surely he isn't a recycled model for 6 different people in the same position.

(That model and face is used another 2 times in the game, but with a different shirt sitting down and dead.)

BUT DICE MAKES PERFECT GAMES

I have a sad feeling I might actually purchase MW3 before BF3.

BF3 has too many bugs right now.
