Im getting the game regardless im a BF fan and will always be a BF fan. I played the beta and loved it i can see past the few issues and see the game for what it is, Better then any CoD game out there and any future game.

That's way too over-zealous.... we all know Halo 4 by 343 (or 434?) Studios will be the killer of all games past, present, and future.

(My actual vote would probably go with Last Guardian if they make the game twice as good as SoTC and ICO combined... if not, I'll probably go with Unreal Tournament 4 when it comes out in 2014 [even though their official stand is "no"])

Funny statement, it's because I am a BF fan that I hate Bad Company games. See my point?

Bad Company had it's merits. The destruction was cool (at first... then it got boring and massively predictable). No prone was killer though... no one liked that (and I know... even CoD had prone). Comparing Battlefield 2 to BC1&2 is like comparing the original Halo to Halo ODST. Halo is ten times what ODST was... but BF2 was actually a huge fucking game around the world. There were like 15 kids in my highschool that all played together. It's a fucking blast.

That's why I like Battlelog. Have a good match with a squad in BF3... send them an invite. Play in a squad as easily as making a party and looking to log into a different map. Bam, there are your teammates. Anyways, just my two cents.

I own every BF title and i have played them all, yes BF2 is great but i think its time to move on and i am liking what im seeing from BF3. What i really want is for battlefield to take Call of duty off its high horse thinking that its better then battlefield when its not.

For me it's like this: Enter TS, say hello to my clan mates and see what games they are playing now. Things like Battlelog becomes redundant and any in-game VOIP becomes annoying.

Funny thing is, I already know what servers I would play BF3 on. Those where one of the admins is also a clan member... Oh and those servers have been running for as long as I can remember, used a lot of my time playing BF2 on them.

Holy shit, you would have to be a mad CoD fanboy to even mean gibberish like that, everyone knows that even with the shittiest ghetto style web browser instead of menu bullshit BF3 would still beat the crap out of CoD simply because it has some motherfucking jets and vehicle focus overall

Well, like... don't the PC versions of CoD suck anyways (like MW2 and after)?

My friend and his friends are HUGE CoD Fan boys i keep pointing out why BF is better but they wont budge. They see the beta as a demo and they said they hated it and wont even bother buying the game. (pause) I am also angered by their stupidity and have stopped talking to them. (removed all of his CoD fan boys off my PSN friends list) It pisses me off how blind these CoD fan boys are (To much cum in the eyes maybe) but there is no turning the most resilient CoD fan boy.

Only CoD i've played is Fail ops and that was because my friend talked me into getting it so i can play with him. I've always been against CoD i hate the community that comes along with it.

I can imagine that community changes over seven years, so are the games. Play the first one and play the latest one and you wouldn't find any similarities whatsoever. Call of Duty has become a "Final Fantasy" of shooters.

Like you care... Online Pass only really effects the used console game market.

We have to get CD Keys anyways... it's not like you can boot up the game unless you have Battlelog. And Battlelog probably won't sign you in with a counterfeit copy.

Although, if modders some how figure out how to play the game with 128 people on a server... I might be tempted to try it out... but I kinda like playing without my account being banned because I want SWTOR too.

BTW, that new trailer was epic (SWTOR).

That's the only reason i'm getting this game. If it weren't for my clanmates, i'd have skipped it.

Same issues as always, i'd be in Site A, defending the base tooth and nail, everyone else is in site B because they kept dying in A. Then they shift their attack on B, everyone's suddendly crowding A. Once B is down and they focus on A, i'm suddenly by myself again

The only ones that stuck with me are my clan mates. The rapport we've had playing together in other FPS games carried over and regularly having people you can count on to watch your back really helps.

Too bad the requirements are a bit high. Many of my clanmates wouldn't be able to join. These are the same guys that will hold fire and stay perfectly still to let a tank pass when ordered to (Try doing that with 12 people), or willing to settle for 5kills for an entire game if it meant defending a critical junction. We're actually pooling together parts to get some of the members upgraded. People that can shoot straight are a dime a dozen, people that sticks to a battleplan and keep their squad from getting killed, one in fifty.

That's the problem with Rush on Metro... it was you either provided covering fire for someone to hit objective... or you just got killed.

During the entire Beta, I think I got at least 30-40 M-com sites bombed (and many more armed but my teammates didn't do shit when I died). It's way easier to obviously have your enemy arm it, kill them, and then disarm it than just defending.

Gosh, I realllllly hate bumping this but I obviously don't want to make a new thread.

Ultimate Battlefield 3 Simulator

I think Ace will appreciate this latest tyranny by EA:

EA Norway accused of weeding out people who might give Battlefield 3 a bad score.

So if you answered the questionarie and EA didn't like the results... they would either say "Sorry, no review copy for you!" OR "Pick a different person."

God knows if IGN is purely based on just publishing companies giving money to IGN to give a good score.

I thought that was acceptable practice after Apple did it with the iPad. They refused to give samples to tech reviewers that might give the it a bad review. I pointed it out before and was told that there was nothing wrong or unethical about it.

That's called media-biased to get good sales. Battlefield 3 already looks like it's going to get good scores, so why did they do it?

Not letting Gamer.no reviewing the game would be like shooting themselves in a foot. Gamer.no is a very reputable games magazine with probably the best game reviewers in Norway. They keep a strict professionalism in journalism, but their reviewers have their blogs where they can explain why they didn't review a game.

If the developers don't think that the game will sell well on their own merit, then I feel pity for them.
