bbk 188 Posted April 18, 2011 Yea, I was so pumped when this video was released (EA was doing some Facebook thing where they wanted to get a million "Likes") this morning. Its essentially the three mini-episodes that had been released over the past few months, and then some extra footage to fill in the blanks. I couldn't say, but I saw this footage when I was up in Boston at an event-- but it was only in pieces... so, finally really cool to see it all put together. This game is really going to change things for the genre-- which is nice as everybody has just been trying to copy the COD or UT mold for the past few years. I've been a BF fanboy since the 1942 days, and it'll be nice to finally see them leapfrog Activision (which ironically is the "new EA"). With that said, I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement for MW3 in June during the NBA playoffs (like last year), announcing a Fall release for this year (though I would be a bit surprised if they could get it done within this year).

Krdshrk 3,872 Posted April 18, 2011 Can't wait! Looks like it's more of a FPS like Call of Duty over Battlefield though. Battlefield 1942, BF2, BF2142 etc were all pretty much pure multiplayer games with almost no storyline. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCeagle 12 Posted April 19, 2011 No, I am/was a call of duty guy until i watched this trailer Im down for some black ops tonight if you have it Same here, COD has such smooth gameplay but I am debating BF3 for the realism, but always had issues with length of time for matchmaker to set up a game in games besides COD. How was the matchmaking/MP in BF2. PS3 here, if they try and max out capabilities, it will be 2nd only to a good PC, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbk 188 Posted April 19, 2011 To me, the BF series has always had the more supreme multiplayer. MW1 was a stellar game, and so far the best of the COD series-- but its a pure "twitch" game... compared to BF games which included that twitch aspect, plus actual tactical gameplay with the addition of armor, cavalry, and jets (in BF2, and will be in BF3)-- as well as the fact that you're looking at 32 players (64 in BF2 and other BF games). Nick, I did talk to a EA and DICE rep at PAX East about the whole story thing (without trying to bring up "other" shooter-games, though it was difficult). Generally they admitted that they needed narrative with their games moving forward as more of a way of reaching that price point of $60. They explained that the BF2 model is great, but also gives no context for the user to understand the settings they are in, especially if they opt for certain locales (take for example, I understand that parts of BF3 will take place in Paris and New York, as well as portions of Southwest Asia... would be hard to just throw a NY map into someone's face with little explanation-- as one paragraph is hardly enough like they use too). They had toyed around with the concept of narrative multiplayer with the Bad Company series, and saw that it worked well. Also, in jest, it seemed like the reps were taking shots at the COD series and their tunnel vision approach when it came to driving linear story with game/level design. I'm not sure what I'll get it on yet. This game might be a good reason to finally update my PC, though that would have other benefit (IE. ES5's November release). Admittedly I'll be pretty busy with Uncharted 3 and ES5, don't know how much BF3 I'll be delving in to initially. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJdiverTony 27 Posted April 19, 2011 Wow, this looks AWESOME! I can't wait until it comes out! I was a big COD fan until I got my hands on BF2 and haven't looked back ever since. BF2 (IMHO) just blows away COD in every aspect... realism, team play, shear size of each level and so much more. If BF3 improves upon BF2, then it's already a destined to be a huge hit.

Admittedly I'll be pretty busy with Uncharted 3 and ES5, don't know how much BF3 I'll be delving in to initially. Agreed, i played BF2 for years and it triumphed multi-player. At one point i believed the hype that they would not make a BF3 and i was really upset. Bad company was good but it lacked some key elements BF2 had. When i herd about BF3 2 months ago i got really excited and i cant wait...I all ready starting to upgrade my PC for it. This video is actually a continuation of the trailer they released not to long ago. I need a medic!!!! We need to start a NJGF squad!! not gonna lie i got a little excited when i saw that eotech on the LMG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,894 Posted April 19, 2011 It looks aite. COD forever. No offense but BF2 will kick any COD game's butt, and that game is close to 6 years old. I play a lot of COD so i can say this with out bias. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuktuk 16 Posted April 19, 2011 I play COD4 and COD5 on PC only. And I can't believe you Wud say that there is something better. I played BF2 on ps3 and let me tell their multiplayer is nowhere close to COD level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS3 here, if they try and max out capabilities, it will be 2nd only to a good PC, You actually find games faster in BF2 than in cod and it is more realistic. although cod had many more game types.. I still love both games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
