[Game] Battlefield 3
- Thread starter Ralfst3r
- Start date
You must have real trouble in fall then, with no games that suit you since you now also despise of RO2 appearantly.
Don't talk about this like its news, because BF3 was never contemplated as a possible purchase for me.
There is also really long way between being critical and despising something.
Dislikes: Automatic weapons sound very clippy when you fire quick bursts consecutively.
The deathcam looks extremely mechanical when it tips over to the side.
Otherwise it looks good, apart from the fairly generic gameplay. Nothing that'll pull my attention away from ROHOS.

Doesn't support Win XP anymore in 2011 in order to have full DX10/DX11 integration, oh the horrors!
I thought BF3 had a health bar with non regenerating health?
Hmm it might do for single player.

yerg. This is where I like the way TWI does guns. Every time I see a first person video of Bf3 I think " wow why is that gun wobbling / bobbing so much ?", not to mention some of those weapon stances look odd. ( m4 carbine being held at an angle? what is this gangshta warfare 3?
Just my nitpicks, stuff like that often annoys me in video games.
The game and gfx, although as fed pointed out very movie esque, look good enough that I would probably buy this if there were mod support.

I hate to be "that guy" but something that bothers me about all of this is the console versions are yet again what's in the spotlight. Right from the start this game has been nothing but bad news, and now the "alpha" leaked footage all seems to be controlled with an Xbox or PS3 controller.
IMO this whole notion of developing for the PC is a load of marketing garbage, and the game doesn't seem like it'll be much more than Bad Company 3 - Ultra Contrast Edition. Sure it could be because it's just the alpha version we're seeing, but even using BC2 as a base like that is very worrysome.
Also a bit funny - that the first map we see is one without many vehicles, or the coveted jets that everyone was so excited to see again. So that's at least one map that isn't full-sized and fully featured. Gameplay that shows fighting in extremely dark tunnels (high contrast again ruining scenery) and some small park only seems to tell me that this game is trying desperately to match MW3. I don't see anything that looks like the battlefields of BF2.
If you ask me Battlefield is over, and it has been since 2142.

BF2 had many smaller maps without jets as well. I hope we'll see some 64player huge map footage at gamescom.
Great first-person animations. Reminds me of Mirror's Edge, that's something every FPS could use IMO.
Looks okay I guess (for an Alpha version), still holding my horses until they show a proper Battlefield game type. Rank progression with unlockable bayonets are a blight on any shooter, but apparently it's what shooter dudes crave :|

Look ok, to me. The high contrast shadows don't exactly present well in any of these videos, but I'm guessing it delivers better on a monitor.
Not sure if serious, or trolling. In either case:
You can CLEARLY see that on those videos that it's being played on a mouse and keyboard. No way you can do those fast turns with a PS3/X360 controller, no way.
Secondly, why would DICE boast the PC (smallest market) as a lead platform instead of big market consoles, if they truly werent pushing the envelope on what's possible with PC ? That said i do agree that dropping mod tools, lan support etc is completely ridicilous. I'm still not 100% convinced that it's all DICE talking. Suits in EA must sell some DLC..
Will it be a true successor to BF2 ? Propably not, in the light of the news we've seen lately. Even with all the crap with the mod tools etc, judging from the videos, it's still shaping up to be one hell of a game.
If I'm mistaken, the people playing must be the some of the worst mouse & keyboard players I've seen.
It's hard to tell with the sidestepping and constant aiming speeds.

You are mistaken, it even says press "R" when he's trying to pick up a kit
Edit: Oh and nice fast editing you have there..
Yeah I didn't want to say for sure. You can use Xbox/PS3 controllers on PC games after all.
