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.

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.

never bought black ops had enough from the cod before it (cant remember what its called)

COD is just too arcadey, simple, easy... it has its place, a quick game fix if you only had like 5-10mins to play. It's merely a button masher and you get like a million kills, a game for the ADD kids

i've always been a MOH, BF fan over COD

SpuGen

Yup.
If I wanted Arcade-y, I'd play CS.
BUt wait, even CS takes more skill VS COD LOL

twitchyzero
02-25-2011, 08:44 PM
how is CS arcadey....CS 1.6 is one of few games that demands the most skills out of any FPS game.

the recoil in BF games is nothing compared to cs..but i love how BF2/BF3 has bullet drop and guiding missiles/AT rockets have a nice learning curve.

Although BF and CoD are different games...you'd be a fool not to think they are trying want a bigger slice of the CoD-fanbase pie...and this is obvious from the similarity in game trailers and in many aspects of singleplayer games (I never really considered BF games to be singleplayer anyways).

cs doesnt require "most skills" out of any fps game. Its easier to control the recoil in cs than it is in bf

Yup.
You don't have to account for distance/wind.
CS hitboxes are HUGE. Even bigger in Source. It's ridiculous.

There's nothing more satisfying, than getting a Marksman Headshot from across the map when you account for Distance/wind/movement juuust right. All that while shit is exploding, Choppers are crashing, and buildings are crumbling all around you. Think an asshole is camping behind that wall? Shoot a rocket at it, or launch a 40mm Nade. No more wall, and a kill.

I hope BF stay's true to their roots. I enjoy playing all COD titles but BF is very different right now. I hope it stays that way. I enjoy the slow more challenging aspect of BF. Bigger maps and harder kills is what makes it what it is IMO

yogenfruz
02-27-2011, 09:30 PM
Loved playing BF:BC2, probably wasted way more time on that, having fun, than I ever did with COD. If the graphics throughout stay true to the trailers, that enough has me sold; I'm a sucker for the realism.

Loved the idea of always accounting for distance, bullet fall, wind, almost EVERYTHING when using a sniper; made it the best part. And there weren't retarded AC130 strikes from campers every 20 seconds

SpuGen

But there were gay Mortar strikes every minute or so when you're on a rush map lol.

Totally avoidable though.

yogenfruz
02-28-2011, 08:27 PM
^ True, but at least the maps were big enough, and the strike was small enough, that you could easily avoid it. I was more worried about land mines than mortar strikes anyday.

I'm starting to think Frostbite 2.0 is going to similar to the source engine when HL2 debuted in 2004. I thought they were exaggerating when they said you don't have to wait until next-gen gaming to see cutting-edge visuals..i know it's only low res video but that was pretty amazing...it's a shame they don't develop big titles on PC as lead platform anymore...

not sure how feasible this is from a development standpoint..but i hope they let players be able to enter some of the high rises...that will be fun for sniping because if you are being hunted no only do you have to check the roof you have to check each window...but if killcam is developed that will ruin the fun.

They said killcams can be turned off, I think. Too bad everyone that goes from COD to BF3 will keep them on. I'll admit though, sometimes I wish the person could see some of the shots I make.

03-07-2011, 12:14 PM
i think it would be epic gay to be able to go on a high rise. not only would you have to go up 14 floors, it'll make the game play extremely difficult based on the time limits.

To have a significantly large map (which is given nowadays) + multiple high rises for you to go into + to have multiple entry points to each floors of the building; it would make the game extremely boring. an 10 minutes game would mean 1 minutes spent from re spawning to running back into the action central, then spend 1 minutes running up ONE building for 14 floors and then spending another 1 minute finding people... it would really slow down the pace of FPS.

just my two cents.

just my two cents.

each game in BF2 was roughly 30-40 minutes i think...and you can just spawn off your squad leader so you can just jump right into the action...it's so awesome jumping out of a blackhawk with like 5 other squadmates to capture a flag haha.

and there was a map on BF2 where you could climb a 10 storey hotel's ladder to the roof for good sniping times...sometimes you are killed before you even make it to the top though because it take slike 20 secs getting up.

yogenfruz
03-07-2011, 04:02 PM
^ What map was that? I only ever played Rush/Squad Rush.

I think that massive buildings like in the video would be fine, as long as they make you able to spawn on your squadmates still. If not, then it will be irritating.

yeah karkand had some really elevated ones...but you have to be very patient for enemies to capture your last flag cause it was tucked at the corner of a map

6793026
03-19-2011, 09:33 AM
I think the multiplayer will always be epic. it's just multiple stages, as long as the game dynamics is done, all you have to do is just throw players in and that's it. It's very linear and throw on 10 maps and you're done.

However, to have a good story line, to have all the stages tie in together and to make freaking sense.. is another story....

i'm hoping they'll enable dragging downed teammates in multiplayer...that'll involve surpressing fire which makes it just that much more enjoyable.

ps3 is a console version

I'm aware of this. That's why I might as well get the ps3 instead of xbox one; it'll be the better looking of the console ones.

^lol I doubt it.

Usually if it's a multiconsole release it'll be almost exactly the same. The PS3 only shines when it's exclusives.

I think you'll be doing yourself a favor by getting it for the PC. It's going to be a completely different experience from the console version of the game. 32 vs 32 instead of 12 vs 12? That's a pretty big difference and just having that many more players just adds to the environment and the feeling of being in an actual war.

id go with the 360 version if your looking to play online..

XBL works flawlessly from day 1 and just better online community overall..

i dont know why you would say the ps3 would look better than the 360 considering no screenshots or videos of it exist yet..... most of the time ports look completely identical from each other unless one is running on a modified game engine

some other minor but interesting deets
Classes that everyone is so use to have been changed a bit:

Riflemen double as medics
Support class is now equipped with a light machinegun
Sniper is long-range and demolitions expert
Engineer is the master of disaster destroying and repairing vehicles


Other important changes:

Revive - You can opt-out of revive. No more resting in the middle of a huge firefight and instantly dyeing.


There is also reportedly weapon attachments which allow you to adapt the classes to how you want to play, like a rifleman choosing a grenade launcher rather than advanced medical equipment. One thing that was made obvious was that suppressive fire is actually a part of the game. When sending a hail of bullets it not only gains you points, but also dims and shakes the screen of those affected.

Vehicles have also been tweaked out. They now generate a small amount of health when damaged, but in order to heal completely they need the assistance of an Engineer. They can also be immobilized right before destruction giving Engineers time to intervene and save it. This could be a nightmare and that is my personal opinion. It's said that it is to help alleviate rage that comes from one shot kills from a rocket. Take for instance a team that loads up in a humvee only to be blown sky high with one rocket.

This is pretty big for those of you planning to buy Battlefield 3

Apparently EA marketing has gone around DICE, and made some of the essential weapons/accessories only available through buying a pre-ordered copy / buying from certain stores. If you didn't order any of these your going to have to dish out additional money to get these items

Alot of people are boycotting this until they they decide to remove the dlc, and if you want future shooters to go down this road you should considering boycotting it too.

heres the link to where i found the boycott

alpha trial is apparently starting up very soon...EA has released the specs but mentioned it may change (further optimization I'm guessing). I think these specs will be pretty close to the final deal though. Closed alpha testing is very limited but you can try to see if you qualify: https://bf3alpha.battlefield.com/index.php?id=1.

EA wrote:
Q: What are the minimum hardware recommendations for the [Battlefield 3] Alpha Trial?

A: RECOMMENDED WINDOWS PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

OS: Windows 7 or Vista (SP1)
Installed: Origin
CPU: Quadcore @ 2.0 GHz or faster
RAM: 4GB or more
Hard Drive: 7.25 GB free disk space
Video: 256 MB or greater
DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card with latest drivers (AMD 11.5 or later, nVidia 275.33 or later)
Sound: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card
Internet: broadband connection
Note that these do not necessarily represent the requirements for the final game.

they had hp regen in battlefield bad company 2, so I assume it'll be a similar system to that. However, the HP regen is much much slower than other fps so if you're almost dead you'll stay that way for a good 30-ish seconds. And usually an average player can hunt you down still in that timeframe.

i read that once you are revived your vision will be slightly blurred and you won't be able to use a gun right away...if they are trying to go for realism why not just take health regen away...

its not hp regen its the same system as bc2 where medics throw med kits on ground and you slowly regain health.

Game is ridiculous so hard now just because of prone.
The alpha map metro is meh because its majority ground fighting.

The lighting of the game is AMAZING makes you feel like your actually in combat.
If you see a shimmer of glare on the corner thats a sniper that just spotted you with his gun.

Can't wait for full game now

Feels pretty great for an alpha test.
Will I stil buy the game yea, but for me this alpha test has been a huge letdown if its a sign of things to come.

Now, I hope I'm wrong, but with the game coming out in about 3 months time, this "alpha" build had better be a really old build that they're just testing to the public. Because if this is the alpha build using what they have at present there's just so many issues I have at least. Does it look pretty, definately, I built my new desktop 570gtx, i72600k, 16gigs of ram just for battlefield 3, but this is alpha so far has been a far cry from the hundreds of hours of enjoyment I've logged with my friends in battlefield bc2.

I understand that they're trying to attract the COD MW audience, but to make the movement so glidey it doesn't bode well for the battlefield series. Knifing has pretty much become a humiliation tool rather than an actual viable close combat option as performing that kill sequence opens the door for the enemy's teammates to stroll in on you.

Yeah I'm nitpicking, but this alpha just didn't have the magic that the battlefield bc2 beta had back when it was released for public consumption. I hope they intend to change the UI which is currently has a terrible chat box location and font, as well as the victory screen ui half of which gets pretty difficult to read due to the white smoke on white text.

Again I understand that it's an alpha, but I really hope this is an extremely early build they've released to the public to test, b/c if this reflects 80% of what the game will be like, I'll be pretty sad.

The purpose of the Battlefield 3 Alpha Trial is to do a number of server-related tests in preparation for game launch, including load testing our back-end. We are also looking to you to provide us with any feedback on the entire Alpha Trial experience.
Please note that this is not the Open Beta due in September, it's not the Beta promised to buyers of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition and this is not a public demo. This is a highly tech-focused Alpha Trial that does not represent final quality of the game. Performance at this early stage of development will potentially be choppy and far from optimal, and we will bring the servers down at our leisure if needed. There will be periods of downtime and periods when we run tests that will negatively affect the performance on the Alpha Trial servers (leading to lag and rubber banding, etc.).

Its more of a server stress test.

16gb of ram is cheap enough that you might aswell max it out anyways.

Yeah I'm aware of their warnings in regards to graphical/latency performance, but it doesnt say anything about general gameplay mechanics which I'm sure they're pretty set on. Like I said the game looks visually amazing, but as an actual game that'd I'd have a fun time playing this alpha has me somewhat skeptical. Its a facimile of its predecssors as it stands now in this alpha build, and has traded mechanics for wider mass appeal to the larger COD audience. On a side note.. I really hope in the final game it doesnt take 6+ rockets to a vehicle to take it down.



As for the RAM I went with 16gigs as I set a budget, I'll probably upgrade when I need more. And yeah I do some graphic design work and rip/encode 3d blurays for my DIY 3d projection home theatre.

Bad Company 2 is nowhere near balanced, not to mention the awful hit detection, which actually got worse post release.
&#x202a;BC2 R9 hitbox test&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube

Anyways, I've been playing in the alpha. Hit detection is really good, runs great (looks as good as BC2 maxed out without all the options aval.) and framerate is about the same.

Hit detection is much much better, best infantry combat BF series has ever had (own them all except 2142). They also removed all the bullshit abilities that were in BC2 like the sensor ball or the stupid mortar ability.

3D spotting back and is really shitty, basically free kills for noobs that can aim at the symbols. There is a thousand+ poster thread on the alpha site that wants to bring back 2d spotting from BF2.
&#x202a;Battlefield 3 - Official 3D Spotting Trailer&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube

No command rose either, and again there is a 1000+ posted thread in the alpha forums asking for this.

Can't really comment on vehicles because the map they are testing with is very infantry oriented. Although I will say, it is not nearly as confined as the Bad Company 2 maps.

I was really to shit on this game, because I really dislike Bad Company 2. The game feels nothing like it other than the fancy ui. I think if they bring back the command rose and fix 3d spotting this game will be amazing.

there seems to be less vehicles due to less factions? My guess is they wanna save quite a few for DLC. That said, the soldier specialization equipment seems to be pretty good.
