Battlefield 3

This, but it looks waay better than the MW3 gameplay videos that I watched.

Well, it's not very hard beating a game which has been recycled year after year. This must be the fourth or fifth year now that it has been recycled.

I mean for MW2 they atleast made a new font so that the fanboys would feel as if the game was new and for Black Ops changed it back yet again for the fanboys, but now there isn't even a new font, that shows how little work is going into the game.

I'm fine with BF3 trailers, actually, I'd like more, but I really wish they officially release more multiplayer details.

I feel this is a nice way of putting it:

* Activision watches new BF trailer*
Activision CEO: ...Wow... WTF are we gonna do now.
CoD Developers: I don't know, but I can't wait to fly those jets, when is this game coming out?
Activision CEO: Shut the hell up and get back to copy and pasting MW.

and

Activision CEO: Shut up. How many players does BF get online?
CoD Developers: 32 on consoles, with dedicated servers.
Activision CEO: MW3 will have 128, no servers.
CoD Developers: But sir, that's impos-
Activision CEO: DO. IT. NOW.

and

Activision Dev -- how are we gonna compare with BF3? It's amazing.
Activision CEO -- Don't worry, people are stupid and are gonna buy our game anyway, even though it's exactly the same as the other CoD games.
Activision Dev -- i don't understand....
Activision CEO -- Let me explain. I already know one way we'll outsell BF3; increase the price of map packs from $15 to $20 and stop making new maps. instead, we'll only give them "retro" maps from old games.
Activision Dev -- Any reasonable adult wouldn't go for that...I mean, they already played those maps.
Activision CEO -- Exactly! No adults would want to pay for old content. That's why we're targeting 12 year olds.
Activision Dev -- Oh! Genius. So we'll make it more kid-oriented, just like we did with World of Warcraft.
Activision CEO -- Exactly! And, if you suggest anything innovative, want the fairly earned wages stipulated in your contract, or create a successful product, we'll fire you and get entangled in a lawsuit. Because at Activision, we know that gamers only want to read about lawsuits and play sequels of old games instead of playing newer, better games.
 
Mw3 all the way for me.

I dont care if it is a copy and paste.

In fact i want it to be the same as mw2 just with a few new bits.+:):)

And hopefully with no hacking.:mad

Even if it cost ?100-?150 i'd still be buying it.:cheers

Bf3 does look good i must admit, but when it comes to war games i like running around like a nutter with 2 pistols in my hands giving it the large over realism.
 
The Beta is coming out on the 29th. The map will be Operation Metro. Anyone getting this or downloading the beta on the PS3 add me irammish.

I look forward to playing you:).

I'm sure I'll be playing the crap out of the beta. Love how it's rush and not conquest as well (though conquest is still fun), and I really can't wait to see what the graphics are like in HD.

Only downside is I probably won't be able to touch BC2 again after playing it because I know BC2 can't compare.
 
Oh man only 2 hours left! I probably won't play tonight because its 10:00 here and I have school tomorrow but I'll try.
 
Played the beta and I can honestly say that its a lot of fun. But for some reason after I invite my friends they join a different game. There are a lot of glitches though. I had a game where I was under the ground and below me was blank and I was literally stuck there till someone killed me.:p
BTW does anyone know how much you can level upto and if the beta stats are going to carry over to the main game?

You can level up to an unlimited amount and no, stats and whatnot do not carry over. Though, your soldier's name does.
 
Really stunning game. Absolutely massive lag though, I hope they make some Australia and NZ servers. It's bordering on unplayable at times. I just die with under a bullet and can't win close gunfights because of the lag. Sick of playing shitty Americans who are terrible at the game that can kill me because of connection.
 
I think BF3 is a great game but the beta is bloody terrible due to the flinging ridiculous lag. Looks like a game made for America only.
 
My experience with the beta has been terrible,

PC had issues with my graphics card, It set the graphics to quite high but I had to tone it down due to laggy frame rate, this is the first game my computer has ever had an issue with as far as graphics are concerned

It's a graphically intense game, so that's to be expected. Frostbite 2 is a really powerful engine. The full game will likely be more intensive.
 
Yeah, it's a long way from being graphically optimised, so to be expected.

Quite underwhelmed by the beta (PS3) to be honest. The controls felt awful, not very direct at all. Felt like my soldier was drunk, swaying everywhere. Not nice.

Will see what people make of it on release before I decide on buying it.
