Battlefield 3 discussion!

[d3p]

Battlefield games are not sanbox type, but the scale of the maps definitely makes it feel like a sandbox 'style' shooter.

I hope you can justify the difference between multiplayer & sand box style gaming.

Ah ah..too early to confirm on that. This aint crap of duty

I can only say, wait to get a confirmation by playing the game yourself, instead of watching trailers & having day dreams.

Makes me wonder, have you ever played a battlefield game?

I was talking w.r.t Single Player Campaign, not multiplayer.

Regarding i have played it or not, that is upto me. I don't think someone among us has hit a jackpot or got some rewards by playing it or flying it.

Many of enjoy playing it...thats the only objective.

I said -

Wasnt talking about the multiplayer in this case, it was about the SP.
In comparision to the COD, the levels in BF3 (basing on the gameplay videos from BF3 and the PAST BATTLEFIELD games) are big enough to fly the planes, and thats the reason I said it actually feels like a sanbox style shooter, or lets just say a semi-sandbox, like crysis or halo for example.

I can only say, wait to get a confirmation by playing the game yourself, instead of watching trailers & having day dreams.

Same gaoes to you

Many of enjoy playing it...thats the only objective.

Good for you, happy gamimg

Here look at this
Battlefield 3 Pre order bonus

 

[cyborg47]

Ah crap!..no pre-order bonus for the gamers in india!?
I thought it'll be something like crysis 2 limited edition, but it doesnt seem to happen.
Damn you EA! And that pre-order crap will probably be an exclusive to that EA-Origin crap, will it?

Not just India but anywhere in world. They are just providing a time limited DLC which they will unlock for all later this year.

EA-Origin crap

what does that mean???

 

[cyborg47]

EA-Origin, an online store something like steam.
They recently pulled out crysis 2 from steam, didnt hear abt it?

Damn, now I need a credit card for ordering the limited edition!

No didn't knew about that at all. Thanks for the info.

So basically they are trying to compete with steam by pulling out their games from it??? WTF?? Don't they know that Steam is best at what it does and even EA's downloader has a lot of issues??

 

[cyborg47]

Nah, no competition for steam. Origin is just a renamed EA store. But I still wonder if 'Origin' is the reason they pulled out crysis 2 out of steam :\

 

[gameranand]

By pulling out games they are just making the marketing worse because many people only prefer Steam and they won't buy a game if not available on Steam. Its a bad idea IMO but its their choice.
Anyways did ya pre ordered this game??? You know because you weren't happy with the bonus news of EA.

For indian's? nope

we always get the Limited Edition. So we will get pre-order content such as BACK TO KARKAND guranteed!

Well besides promoting EA's own store, its obvious that Indian people won't buy games at 4-5 times the retail price. So maybe thats why they pulled Crysis 2 out of the steam store of this region.

For indian's? nope

we always get the Limited Edition. So we will get pre-order content such as BACK TO KARKAND guranteed!

Thats for sure.

 

[cyborg47]

I really wish nextworld starts taking pre-orders for the limited editions, but damn! where the hell are they!?

For indian's? nope

we always get the Limited Edition. So we will get pre-order content such as BACK TO KARKAND guranteed!

That isnt the limited edition, its the normal one for now.

 

[JojoTheDragon]

^Buddy, what ever the website might say, INDIA ALWAYS GETS THE LIMITED VERSION.

^Buddy, what ever the website might say, INDIA ALWAYS GETS THE LIMITED VERSION.

Yeah I know, the limited edition is already available for pre-order at the EA Origin. But I prefer nextworld and flipkart's COD service, coz no CC for me
And Im afraid EA might put this limited editions exclusives to Origin rather than allowing the third party guys like nxtworld or flipkart sell it.

 

[JojoTheDragon]

I think retail version will also have the same bonus content as the digital version does.

 

[cyborg47]

Theres no bonus content for the digital version what so ever. And this Back to karkland is a DLC, which will be available right after the release for a price, AND will be free with the limited edition copy of Battlefield 3. The noamal version has no bonus content, digital or retail.

[bf3blog]New Battlefield 3 squad details emerge

Battlefield 3 will feature 4 man squads like in Bad Company 2, however, according to DICE’s Alan Kertz, who once again confirmed some new info via Twitter, squad spawning has changed compared to Bad Company 2.

In Battlefield 3, the squad members can only spawn on the squad leader, while the squad leader can spawn on any squad member. This seems to be the right way to do it, as Kertz points out: “it keeps pace up without tons of spawns”. One of the (minor) problems in Bad Company 2 was that any squad member could spawn on any squad member, meaning, for instance, one player camping behind enemy lines could spawn 3 additional squad mates.

The new system resembles a lot like Battlefield 2, where squad mates could only spawn on the squad leader, while the squad leader had to spawn at the spawn point. on the flip side, this led to a lot of “squad hopping”, whereby a player who died would hop to a squad with a leader closest to the action, and spawn on him. Squad hopping was later fixed in a patch.

Hi guys one question. Its looks like the Game is demanding more than crysis i believe. Let me know know if any one found Minimum requirement for this game to enjoy this clarity.

 

[cyborg47]

@Macho
It looks better than crysis yes. But Im not sure if it will run better or worse than it.
Heard from a few people that the game will take advantage of the Dx11 API s properly this time. If thats true, then the game should run fine if you have a DX11 GPU and a quad core machine, atleast.
