See you on the battlefield in October.

awesome! hope it lives up to BF2!

im glad they showed the chopper and jets in the teaser i was worried they may have axxed them

BF2 was just awesome... i hope this lives up to it..

Road to Jalalabad was my fav map... 97% of my game play online was on this map.. haha

here's to hoping for a few game modes...I thought only having conquest in BF2 was kinda bland

BF2 Strike at Karkand. Loved playing as a sniper with the M95 rifle. So much fun.

I just got BF2 for Christmas and it's epic, I can't wait for this.

The game has a few minor things that bug me that I hope are switched up for this game though.

apparently 4 popular maps from BF2 is coming back

OMG 64-player multiplayer. In the mean time, BC2 will have to do :)

64 multiplayer for PC only. This means I have to build a computer now. Do you think I should build it now or will hardware in december be a big upgrade?

^^ id wait it off.

if i can run BC2 in high settings, hopefully i can run this on medium

Is BF2 still worth buying? how bout 2142?
or is it no longer noob friendly?

i wouldnt buy BF2 because there's Play4Free which is pretty much a dumbed down version of BF2 (similar to BF Heroes)

initial post updated with high-res scan of Game Informer's cover story.

Played some Vietnam today.

Felt nice to actually aim to get a kill, instead of just point+shoot.

yea ppl still play bf2, lots of hackers though

2142 was dead last i remember maybe it revived a bit dunno

bit of gameplay footage (well it might just be cgi i dunno)

graphics look promising so far...you'll need a beast of a computer to enjoy it i'm assuming

Assuming it comes out around Christmas (BC2)
I'm gonna wait till Boxing day to get it.
Boxing Week sale = 6870/better for cheap.

I'm sure my 4890 can handle it, but Upgrading > OC in the long run.

But it looks like it's comming out in Fall...

no matter how amazing this game is, the next cod will still crush it

don't get your hopes up...Infinity Ward is dead. Plus, COD series is getting a little repetitive now that we've seen yearly releases 6 years straight...whereas we haven't seen a full-scale 64 player military action game like BF3 in 6 years. That and running on a brand new game engine is something that's getting many of us all hyped up.

im not getting my hopes up at all, codmw3 will out sell battle field hands down

I dont even understand why people compare BF and COD together, its like comparing apples and oranges, their both fruits, but different taste..

COD is more fast pace twitch FPS, smaller scale games.. BF has always been more team based, large battles, vehicle involved games..

You might as well say your beloved Halo games will get crushed and be outsold by any FPS shooters out there.... u just sound like a troll.

i am not trying to argue anything, im just saying that cod has a massive cult following and will out sell any fps shooter these days , most ppl thought black ops was gonna not sell much, turned out everyone bought it. Dont get me wrong battle field is an amazing game.

epic!

i think im more into BF than MW now
