Nice free epilepsy test there at the beginning.

Graphics wise... it almost looks like Crysis! Good job!

Kinda hard to choose a side here when we don't quite know the details, but subjectively, FUCK EA.:mad: I think all they are trying to do is compete with Valve by having their own service, and so therefore they aren't releasing any more games on steam (or is this just because it's a big-name title like BF3?)

Also, EA is being greedy and demanding $60 for the PC version.

That said, if my choice is between paying $60 for a proper PC game or $50 for a shoddy port, I'll certainly take the former!

What do you guys make of (http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/19/battlefield-3-pc-wont-have-in-game-server-browser-battlelog-is-the-main-menu/) this?

My response: Meh. :weird:

It must be competetive with CoD.

Feature list (http://www.battlefield3gamer.com/apps/blog/show/8125693-battlefield-3-fact-sheets-confirms-weapons-vehicles-9-multiplayer-maps) revealed.

Not bad - like BFBC2 but more. Only 9 maps is a little disappointing, but that seems to bet par for the course these days.

That said, this snippit is a head-scratcher:

"Play Your Way In the Biggest Battlefield Ever! From city streets to open rural landscapes, Battlefield 3 offers unparalleled depth and gameplay variety. Classic ‘Rush’ and ‘Conquest’ modes are complemented by newly introduced ‘Team Death Match’ for an instant action fix."

How is TDM "newly introduced" if it was in the very first game in the series?

Battlefield 3 is does not belong to Battlefield series, it belongs to the Bad Company series. It's only called Battlefield, just like Fallout 3 was only called Fallout.

That certainly seems to be what they're implying.

Hmm, a little unorthodox, but not bad. Cuts down on the middle man, tbh. Like, I dont need to go through the hassle of waiting a minute for all the game assets to load up and splash screens to look through just to see the damn menu. Also solves problem of long-term memory leaks (unless someone plays on the exact same sever for hours).

This is the 2nd stupidest thing I've read in the past 15 minutes. Good job on falling short.
