[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Scutch]

Found your mic yet Scutching?

It'll be in the loft dude. Will ratch it out come the day.

 

[Scutch]

Reviews should start filtering out today. Mind you, I don't know how they're going to score it. Single player? They're using dedicated EA servers to test and review the multiplayer, but as we all know you need a lot of time online to give an honest assessment.

Will be interesting.

 

[AK]

Canny wait.

IGN's review :

Presentation: 8.0 The multiplayer’s robust, the browser-based launcher works well, but those who don’t play online won’t find much meat in the other modes.

Graphics: 9.5 Frostbite 2 shines in multiplayer, single-player, and co-op.

Sound: 9.5 You’ll hear every bullet whizzing by your head, and the crash of rubble all around you.

Gameplay:8.5 Traversing the enormous world feels great, on foot or in a vehicle, but the single-player’s quicktime events are just lame.

Lasting Appeal: 9.5 Multiplayer unlocks will keep you chasing the dragon for months.

Final: 9.0

I just cancelled my preorder...

Realised that as soon MW3 is out, I wont touch any other game, so theres no point in me paying £32 for a weeks worth of gaming. /jewish

 

[AK]

You've gone down in my estimations.

 

[Harpham]

You'll come crawling back to COD, when you realise me and Sy are having many "LOL"ing sessions without you.

 

[AK]

I'm buying both, cause I'm not a pikey.

 

[Scutch]

IGN : 9/10
GameInformer : 9.5/10
GameStar : 9.3/10
GameSpy : 5/5
Joystick : 4.5/5
Gametrailers : 9.2/10

 

[AK]

Pretty s**t then, yeah?

 

[Spiezels]

Yep sounds crap.

 

[Scutch]

I certainly won't be buying, that's for certain.

Average of 93% from 14 reviews so far, but Gamereactor Sweden have scored it an 8, most probably Single Player game only. That's my lot, DICE. That's my lot.

 

[.Adam.]

Glad the reviews seem positive.

 

[Geddes]

look at the drop in that lol

 

[Spiezels]

Great shot!

 

[Scutch]

Seriously though, how f*cking difficult is it going to be spotting snipers in that grass? Jesus.

 

[AK]

Hopefully not too bad now their scopes let off the shine?

 

[Geddes]

yeah agree, with these open maps we'll b getting picked off like fly's. no doubt it will be annoying sometimes

Fly is.

 

[Scutch]

Fly is.

LOL. Sounds right if you say it quickly enough. Ish...

Fly guy, kinda shy?

 

[Geddes]

 

[Spiezels]

Saw the first one of these t'other day.

 

[Geddes]

mentioned on youtube about ep 4 but cant see it

allways do the opp what the guy in front does, if he goes left you go right.

never noticed after watching the knife kill he spins the knife in his hand, lol class

 

[JJ!]

I'm worried that I won't get the most of multiplayer as none of my mates play!

 

[Spiezels]

There's loads of folk on here who play. Just join them?

 

[Rhino172]

[Spiezels]

Gonna, go pick it up and sell my tesco copy i think.

There's a sainsburys near us, will that deal be on or was it just online?

 

[seb]

I would buy BF3 but i don't get mega time to play games and i feel more comfortable with the cod game style tbh. Don't have room for both but i reckon I may get into it in the future maybe... but doubt it. Purely a time reason.

Thats one of my concerns too, from what I have seen... BF3 is more in depth for multi player, MW3 is pick up and play anytime!

Same for me, with mw2 can pick up and have quick game or lengthy session, i really like mw2 as a game and like fact this ooks like it will be same

 

[JJ!]

For you die hard BF2 fans... can you just jump straight in to games without giving serious time aside?!

I've put the 360 on many occasions and played a couple of Conquest games then switched off.

It's great, but you do and will put plenty of hours in ranking up and unlocking stuff. I think the rank cap is 145 this time. It was only 50 on BC2 and I got to 36 after 300 hours or so.

Crazy.
