[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[172boost]

so who's getting this on PS3 then?

Im in.

 

[Geddes]

Nice one, how many are there in a clan, hope there's more than 4. 4 is not enough

 

[Spiezels]

If it's like before it's 4 in a squad but you can just party chat all of you and go in in 4's.

But then this should have more per game so they might make the squads bigger.

PSfail = no party chat, LOL.

 

[Spiezels]

s**t! Keep forgetting.

LAWL.

If you get a full 12 in party chat all on one team it's mental. Proper advantage over other teams.

 

[Geddes]

on BF2142 it was more than 4 in a squad. So i'm sure this will be the same. Fingers crossed.

Is there any more details on when there is going to be more footage coming out?

 

[Spiezels]

16/9/11 for the next vid of that single player vid

 

[Scutch]

It's going to be crazy.

Can't wait for this to arrive.

But... choices... do I start a single player game (to get used to it all and it's apparently superb experience) or just delve straight into the MP? Cripes.

 

[funksteruk2]

anyone looking for a "mature clan"

Wonka Warriors are recruiting, we are getting a new dedi server for bf3 so will be running maybe 3 bf3 servers

 

[funksteruk2]

pre-ordered mine from gamestation today for the pc

Anyone else gonna be playing it how it should, on the pc?

MEEEEEEEEEE

I always go single player first, gives you a good feel for the game/controls. Plus campaigns are normally awesome!

 

[Geddes]

i'll be defo playing campaign first, it does look good. need the practice too of course on the tanks and equipment

 

[Scutch]

It's a shame most of you f*cktards are on PS3 :dapprove:

Get a 360, people. Although, I do have a PS3 as well, this is a 360 purchase.

Dont screw me! We need to get upto our standard on HC Conquest haha.

Just ordered mine with Tesco, cashback on Quidco and double club card points for my old man.

Single player first for me too normally. I've completed all the COD's/BC2 in a day so normally smash them first.

I've had mine on pre-order with Amazon for 4 months now. It's even better now Amazon have a Trade-In department. Neat. LA Noire and Crysis 2 on route.

 

[Geddes]

Amazon do trade ins, i'll have to have a look Black Ops and BC2 i think

 

[Scutch]

Black Ops is £12 for 360. Probably the same for PS3.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=s9_dn..._rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=248094947&pf_rd_i=440443031

 

[Geddes]

yeah just had a look, but i'm not 100% sure wether to do this, i see you get a gift card sent to you when they think the stuff meets their requirements

 

[Scutch]

Quite a few have done it. The fact I've pre-ordered with them for BF3 is a no-brainer. I don't think I'd get £18.50 or whatever it is for LA Noire anywhere else.

Might do. I'll give my local Gamestation a ring, as there's loads of games coming out soon and I don't have to use it for BF3.

 

[Rhino172]

I'll be doing the single player campaign first too.

Had it on pre-order for a few months now via play.com, they have now updated thier page and it turns out if you pre-order with play you get some special icons of some sort to use when customizing your dog tags....oooooh special lol

 

[Darren S]

Yep - me.

Just pre-ordered it now from Amazon.

Ahhhhhhhh................ lmao cheers AK

link above explains on games modes

3 game modes TDM, Rush and Conquest plus 3 Squad based game to each one of those

 

[Darren S]

Nice one, how many are there in a clan, hope there's more than 4. 4 is not enough

I hope it's 6, including one squad leader like in BF2142, but I can't imagine that will happen. The formula seems set on 4 players per squad now, which is a shame imo.

AK to the rescue!

[AK]

4's not enough, IMO.

 

[Geddes]

be awsome on this if you can call out for amo or a medic, like on BF2142. you know that sub menu plus all the other commands on there

get sick of running low on ammo on BC2 and you can't get some one to top it up for you

 

[AK]

You push the back button on the Xbox whilst looking at an assault guy to call for ammo on BC2

 

[Geddes]

do you, must be the same on PS3 then? never noticed yet, i'm still a noob on it

 

[AK]

Yeah, the same button that you use to spot folk.

To be fair m8 - 2142 was a benchmark for so many features, that simply have been set aside. It just 'gelled' in the way it played for me - clearly, as it's by far and away the most hours I've put into an online FPS. A six-member squad should have been standard - along with the 6 class types of BF2. We need diversity and the reliance of team-play - rather than one-man army tactics. An anti-tank guy in BF2 was exactly that - a class chosen to take on tanks and vehicles. Not to take on snipers. Not to take on assault troops. Just there to be in the anti-vehicle role as and when needed.

They really should have repeated this philosophy for BF3. They got it right before - why change it now?

[IsaacJDean]

I really do blame consoles.

Developers really have to try and make the games work for everyone and every platform

Edit: That's not to say i have anything against consoles, BFBC2 on xbox is what got me into this lark
