[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Geddes]

Never played Bad Company 2?

i was meaning never played Battlefield and Battlefield 2. I have played BC and BC2

[CountryBumpkin.]

I'll be keeping a eye out for it. loved bf2 and both bc's. I prefer it to cod as it's so much more realistic.

[conneh]

BC 2 was too bloated to be as good as BF2, i hope BF3 is as good as 2... would give me a decent reason to upgrade the PC (As thats how it should be played).

[Nickson]

Dont think there is much different anymore. BF used to be the PC game and BC was the console version but they have changed that with the last release and also BF3 looks like it will be multi platform. Hopefully BF3 will be bigger with bigger maps, planes and the usual stuff from BF2.

All PC games are becoming console ports. So most are going to be Multiplatform nowadays!
If you can find me one being made soley for the PC I will eat something a human being probably shouldnt. (Excluding "recent-ish" releases, eg Crysis)
There is a much larger market for console gaming, and thus is where the monies is.
No-one cares about PC geeks anymore!

[Brazo]

It's not that no one cares for the pc geeks, its just that the console gimps have to subsidise their gaming as 99% of them.would rather not pay.

[spiezels]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!!

[Scutch]

Think there's more news coming either today or tomorrow.

I've no idea how the jets will work in the game. The maps must be f*cking HUGE.

Damnit, knew I should have made mine an official thread!

Jets were fine in BF2, I guess the maps were a bit bigger from memory but not much. You won't be able to fly them though, if you thought choppers were hard in BC2...

Yeah I forgot about yours when I created this. I've asked for a mod to merge it with yours so that you're the thread starter. Will PM Revels.

Cheers Revelinho

[oska]

Lol, no worries mate I was only joking. Cheers Revels.

I wonder if you will start levels from aircraft carriers like BF2 and 1943. That was good way to get an early flag capture parachuting out over a base.

[Scutch]

I've only played BC2 so I'm a Battlefield n00b, really.

Bad Company 2 was also the first MP game I've played. 270 hours later...

[oska]

F*cking spiders 270 hrs! I really want to get back into it just never have the time, after getting all excited about Vietnam I haven't touched it yet.

I like to see what they will change dynamically from the Bad Company series for this.

[spiezels]

This excites me greatly!

[Darren S]

Hopefully they have learnt from the Pwn-Plane from BF2 - which was the Chinese J-10. That thing was just too good compared to the other jets. They also need to add decent amounts of AA - something which is severely lacking from some BC2 maps where the choppers can fire from range with impunity.

The lying prone addition is a good one - especially if they make it semi-realistic and it takes a few secs to go down/get up from it.

But the final part I'm hoping for is the large selection of classes. It really does promote an extra criteria of team play when there are a wide range of class types - rather than just the four from the likes of BC2 and BF2142. BF2 had 7 iirc and it was much better for it, imo.

cant wait for this game, ever since playing bf2 i have been hooked on battlefield games so much better than COD.

anyone play BC2 on PC?

Darren S does on here. Check out the huge Bad Company 2 thread, mate

Yep sbridgey - I'm on there. Same in-game name as my Steam account to the left.

Currently on Rank 35 at the minute - I'm committed to getting to Rank 50!

It has to be played on a PC tbh.

Could use keyboard/mouse aswell as joystick etc for flying planes.

Maps were massive in BF2, planes were fun.

[Scutch]

Console all the way for me. Mainly because :

a) My laptop isn't a games machine.
b) I prefer using a pad
c) All my friends are on XBL and/or PSN, so much better MP experience.

Scutch, Scutch, Scutch. Seriously - try to get on a PC running keyboard and mouse. It's like comparing a bag of chips to an exquisite five-course meal. The tiny and precise inputs available to a K&M player, make using a pad seem clumsy and really quite frustrating. It's annoying as hell for me using a pad in an FPS game as the fluidity just isn't there. It feels like its all harsh inputs - and those inputs are directly potrayed on the screen.

I wish all consoles issued a keyboard and mouse as a standard option!

BF BC 2 is brilliant, much prefer it to Black ops and MOH, BUT online you have to be part of a good TEAM for your in sh1t!

Well, the truth is I have never tried a keyboard and mouse. It just all seems like it will be far too responsive and then having to work out the keys to map everything. Pad has it all set out as it's purely a games pad, so that's it's purpose.
