Battlefield 3

[G-spec]

yea the new Dice engine is really good, they can use it for at least another 2-3 years easily and it will still look great


as far as the COD series, they've literally been using the same graphics/physics engine for years, it's why the framerates on the new COD are almost identical to COD games from few years ago, same basic engine, just bit more spit and shine on top....
it's good for people who don't upgrade PC's but shitty for guys who want to get what they pay for..

Is it bad that I almost don't want to get armoured kill after seeing the trailer? I just have this gut instinct that it's just gonna be the map filled with clans that are so insanely good at piloting jets/helicopters etc. that it will just be completely pointless for anyone against them.

turtle-speed gunship?
even a jet noob like me could probably take it down

[PornMaster]

Gunship probably has some op shit

and really hard to take down like take both planes to fire at it for a good 5 minutes.

Like the bad company 2 carrier plane took like 5 rockets and with someone repairing it was impossible.

That's what sucks about these FPS'. Once one really takes off, it goes to shit.

BF3 - Alborz Mountain (Armored Kill) - YouTube

looking pretty good

[bobola]

So whos going to get the Armor kill expan..?

Just found out uou cant fly the bomber!!!

[twitchyzero]

i tried out all the maps in armored kill...much closer to BF2 maps but still wish there were some city ones similar to mashaturr city or road to jalabad

alborz mountain is pretty damn badass...it's like battlefield meets skyrim
armor gets stuck pretty easily though when you go off track

best map is probably armored shield

[Taxmonkey]

I bought close quarters as a standalone, and now I wish I hadn't I'm going to end up paying more for every expansion. Shouldn't have cheaped out on a one time payment and just got premium instead

I always get so excited to play new maps and what not, but I having no one to play with because my friends don't want to upgrade their PCs make me sad

Someone squad with me plzz.

[twitchyzero]

i'm in a similar position..no one i know has a PC decent enough to run this game
feel free to add me on steam/origin with the same screenname

together

[604778]

For those who don't have or is willing to get battlefield 3. Its $10 today.

Origin

[twitchyzero]

tempted to try 2142
but you only save $5

BF3 for $10 is highway robbery though

Battlefield 3: Aftermath Premiere Trailer - YouTube

... Epicenter, reminded me of a ravaged and war-torn mix of Strike at Karkand and Grand Bazaar. Fallen debris provided all sorts of different routes, man-made or not, to the objective, but still provided plenty of room to grab a modified Vodnik with multiple gunner positions to patrol the streets in. What was particularly interesting to me was that hidden passage ways could be discovered by blowing up certain barriers with either explosives or conveniently placed gas canisters. These could then be used to flank the enemy or as a quick escape, should you find yourself cornered. As mentioned earlier, tremors literally shake the battlefield at random moments throughout a match. These tremors cause falling debris in certain areas, so if you’re not situated correctly, your looking a major headache, literally. All Aftermath maps will support vanilla Battlefield 3 game modes like Conquest and Rush – even the popular Gun Master mode from Close Quarters – as well as the newly introduced Scavenger mode.

Scavenger is a heavily-themed new game mode that revolves around the story that Aftermath tells. As a soldier that has just survived a devastating earthquake in the middle of a heated battle, you’re left with nothing but your pistol and a limited amount ammo. However, just because an earthquake may have knocked you and a number of other soldiers off their feet, it doesn’t mean all those weapons have disappeared. They simply need to be found again.

Upon starting up a match, you’ll only have your choice of class (which, in this case, only dictates your skin or look) and your choice of sidearm and specialization along with one grenade. On top of your assigned task of capturing three objective points (exactly similar to Conquest Domination introduced in Close Quarters), you’ll need to search every corner of the area to find yourself some better gear. Scattered among the battlefield are three different tiers of randomized weapons. Tier one includes your basic SMG’s or PDW’s while tier two sports your more powerful shotguns and sniper rifles. Lastly, the third tier grants you your more effective LMG’s and assault rifles. However, don’t get too comfortable with your M16A3, should you find one. Chances are, you may blow through one or two mags before you’ll need to find some more firepower. This provides an interesting, non-class-based twist on your action-packed Conquest Domination (similar map sizes can be expected) and adds a whole new layer of gameplay.
