[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

tbh I'm not sure you'd even be effected by the frame rate.

The only thing that will be able to highlight it is if you had a PC running it at 60 and a console sitting next to it running at 30, playing through the same levels etc so you can spot the differece. Nothing to be too upset about in my mind, especilaly as BFBC2 is 30 and thats fine.

 

[Scutch]

Frame rate won't affect the consoles.

 

[Spiezels]

Never bothered me on BC2 so I'm sure it'll be schweet.

 

[Geddes]

Have you got the 4 classes like on this, Assult, Recon, Engineer and Medic?

 

[Spiezels]

I think medic and assault have been combined or something.

Was on one of the bigger review vids.

 

[J0sh]

Recon is still recon, Engineer is still engineer. Medic gear is now held by the assault class, and Support gets ammo packs.


Imo, the way it should always of been in BC2.

 

[Geddes]

so there's only 4 classes aye? there was only 4 classes on BF2142. 4 is clean and simple

 

[J0sh]

I actually prefer the 7 class system from BF2. There was no single distinctly amazing kit, each one had single specialist role and a weapon to reflect that. Made life interesting.

 

[Scutch]

 

[Spiezels]

You are a wonderful man!

 

[Kris86]

iv just been fapping for 10mins reading that...WOW...

 

[Geddes]

How many people will there be per team?

 

[oska]

This seems appropriate!

 

[Rhino172]

How many people will there be per team?

At a guess judging by bc2 it'll be 4 per squad, and 4 squads per "team"

Definitely. The more the better, imo.

Sounds like someone hasn't played games at 120fps, 1980x1080 or higher with 16xAA etc

Completely different league to the choppy 30fps bulls**t on consLOLs

 

[JJ!]

Completley differnt price too! Plus 120fps is irrelevant for BF3.

 

[conneh]

I wouldn't call it irrelevant. Look at BFBC2 on the PS3, it played like horse s**t compared to the PC!

 

[Rhino172]

before this goes wildly off topic with g33k talk and numbers/stats/specs and all that business that makes bugger all sense to your average joe all I'm gonna say is...

If the person playing on the so called "inferior" format is more than happy with it's "inferioity" and frankly doesn't care about "pc specs" etc then who cares?

If it was such a massive issue then they would only make the game for PC as no-one would buy it on a "consLOL" as it'll be crap.

It's gonna be an awesome game regardless of format.

/FIN

Now lets continue talking about how awesome it's gonna be....

 

[Brand86]

Agreed mate. I know PCs have higher resolutions, but I don't care. All I care about is how it plays and I am confident it will be great on all formats.

 

[JJS1979]

Thanks Scutch for linking that!!

Cannot wait for this, pre-ordered the limited edition at gamestation yesterday.
Like the sound of the vehicles/tanks grinding to a halt but still functioning until there finished off!
Has it been confirmed 32 players on console's?

No mate. There's a petition to try and get them to increase to 32, but I doubt it will happen.

 

[Geddes]

when i was on BF2142 there was 16,28 and 32 iirc. 28 was spot on for me like

 

[JJS1979]

Think they could have 32 players on the larger maps with the jets/heli's on and maybe stick to 24 on the smaller maps.. good to hear about the small change's in the classes too with assault having medic pack. And VERY glad that the defrib takes longer to operate now as this will get rid of the invincible 2 medic warhorse squads you see on BFBC2.

Combining Medic and Assault is a good move IMO.

No f*cker was ever a Medic. It'll help teamplay no end.

I was always a medic, easy points lol!

 

[Geddes]

Same set up as BF2142, 4 classes medic gear for the assault = WIN

 

[James28]

I miss the old simple Battlefield 2 classes lol. With them you had to adapt the way you played the game massively between classes.

 

[Scutch]

In the games I play, every f*cker is a medic.

Except me.

 

[AK]

Lol ^

Still undecided whether it'll be COD or this I'll buy... Did enjoy playing BC2 but only when I was playing with 3-4 people I knew..

 

[J0sh]

I played Conquest on Core the other day (2 things I never play) and no word of a lie, 6 medics were huddled at one point absolutely taking names. I charged them numerous times, got 2 or 3 of them, then got swiftly sat the f**k down, only to see the ones id just killed get revived. Rediculous.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, no Steam support for PC. EA ruin everything...

 

[J0sh]

Only because they are pushing their own Digital Retail platform, Origin.

 

[Geddes]

anybody know what game modes will be on this or has it not been confirmed yet?

 

[J0sh]

Confirmed so far are Rush, Conquest and Coop. They have hinted at atleast one new game mode. Id say its safe to assume that most of the other game modes from BC2 will be present as well.

 

[Geddes]

what's the coop all about?

 

[J0sh]

what's the coop all about?

10 (I think?) mission cooperative campagin, totally different from the main campagin and playable with a friend.

Also, released today.

Yeah, but competing with steam is a waste of time, I don't want to use Origin...it'll be all E.A'y and bloated. Like a fat copy cat
