Battlefield 3

Modern era it is then...

From Wikipedia:

"Battlefield 3 will feature the maximalist combined arms battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It will reintroduce several elements removed from the console-oriented Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position, and (on PC only) 64-player battles.[2]"

A new animation system will allow players to "drag fallen comrades into safety and mount weapons on almost any part of the terrain."[3] The destructible scenery of DICE's Frostbite engine will also be in use.

"Maps set in Paris, Tehran and New York have been confirmed. As a whole the game will cover urban streets, metropolitan downtown areas, and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat."

I was hoping for WWII again but hey, this does sound cool...

[Penguin]

yes, yes, yes! *jumping up and down in anticipation* I hope that the annoying kiddies stick with playing MW.
finally 64 players again! The 32 player cap and the small map size prevented me from getting Bad Company.
I also like the modern day setting, glad they didn't make another 2142!

[Biggles]

finally 64 players again!

The game isn't released yet...I remember they saying that BF2 would have 100! player games....

But then ofc, we're 6 (!!!) years later now, 64 players should be manageable....and I'll go BERSERK if they don't include the airplanes!:timeout::har:

Also, here's one hoping that the knife will not be a quick command weapon. Put it back in the inventory where it belongs!

[Penguin]

Well, the netcode has to handle more information, for example now we have destructable environment which BF2 didn't have. Plus the upload speed of many internet connections is still not much higher than 2004, but I hope they have no cap when you play on custom servers - if you can play on them...

I also hope that the ability to mount your weapon will make it into the final version. I always seemed kind of odd, that you could prone behind a wall, look over it, but are unable to place your rifle on it...:doh:
A quick accessible knife is ok in my book, in real life you draw a knife much faster than it takes to switch from a machine gun to a sidearm.

I still play Battlefield 2. Love the game still plenty play this 5yr old gem.

So BF 3 I'll try it when its out.

Hahaha, I still remember 64 player matches in BF1942 :haha:

So when does this BF3 come out i'm interested now.

I tried mutli player in BF Bad Company 2 and don't like it that I find myself going back to BF2 :dead: BC 2 is pretty graphics, the world looks to real that it kills the fun I know its a stupid excuse but I like BF2 for the bullsh*t gameplay with godmode helicopter pilots who never die. eg Dalian plant USA side is all about getting to the chopper and surviving the short distance to land a 1 in 5 chance! Strike at Karkand & wake island is hell and you can forget about being a sniper in BF 2. I read they are trying to get Karkand into BC2, probablly wont bother now with BF 3 coming out.

[Dowly]

you can forget about being a sniper in BF 2.

Dowly

Total game time: 204:23:42
Time using Sniper Rifle: 95:05:50
Kills with SR: 2213
Deaths: 1125
K/D: 1.97
Accuracy: 47.02%
And this is my "main" which I turned into sniper only very late in the "career".

Finnish_Ferret (My sniper only account)

Total game time: 21: 06: 12
Time using Sniper Rifle: 20:13:14
Kills with SR: 428
Deaths: 117
K/D: 3.66
Accuracy: 41.70% (Low accuracy due to having to use the POS semi-auto rifle as chinese before unlocks)

All kills on medium to long range. Towards the end of my BF2 playing, I pretty much constantly had maximum of 1 death per round and that was in 99% of times caused by enemy commander calling arty on me because no one could find me or I killed everyone who tried. :DL

So, guess what I'm trying to say is that: You, sir, are horribly wrong. ;)

No Chinese this time around, eh? :hmmm:

No im right :smug: You jumped to conclusions before asking me politely what I meant :O:
This is what I meant - BC 2 sniper is over the top god-mode, everyones a sniper cause its so easy aim + fire = yur dead sucker. Battlefield 2 sniper you have to work at it where to have a one shot instant kill aim for the head. So I was comparing the BC2 sniper with BF2 sniper. Maybe I should of just explained it better.

[Arclight]

You're both pathetic, Arma/OFP is where it's at. :O:

Speaking of which, when we start playing again? :wah:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Thanks for your inspiration Dowly, bought BF2 a while ago and hadn't played it so I nipped on for half an hour last night when I couldn't get on the BC2 servers. Did terribly! Maybe I should RTFM before my next venture :nope: Flying was as unintuative as it could be, and if any lesson was learnt it was don't press RMB when stationary as it drops your f*&^%$£ bomb and you die!

I'll let you know when I'm going on again, then you can easily up your K/D ratio :D

[Oberon]

99% of times caused by enemy commander calling arty on me because no one could find me or I killed everyone who tried.

Sounds rather familiar....

Now I have another HD I might well reinstall BF2, if only for FH2, I don't really get on with BF2 very well, although that could just be me going on the wrong servers. Heck, I might even put BF1942 back on for old times sake, stalking carriers in Midway is good fun. :yep:
Had a fair bit of fun with FH2 though, including a lovely sniper streak from a church tower in some French village I can't remember the name of, must have got about fifteen odd kills before some sod dropped an artillery shell through the roof. For me, that's pretty damn good! :haha:

[Oberon]

Speaking of which, when we start playing again? :wah:

Yes, now I have ARMA2 and Arrowhead I can finally join in with the ARMA2 madness.

[Arclight]

Right, was planning to shut down MC once a week and run A2, but the day is tricky. Either Dowly has classes or it's Il-2 night. Need to find the right day. Maybe some suggestions in A2 thread?

Yeah Arma2 I must get that. Problem with running a pc that can now play the latest games is I can't keep up. BFBC2, SH5, AA3 and Aion to name a few where before I start i head straight to the fridge and make sure I got enough beers. I was thinking of gettiing Starcraft 2 this week, but might flag it as I dont think I would have enough beers to support me. :O:

That's Instant Karma for ya...

ARMA's good at that, you take one shot at one bad guy and half his army drops it at your door.

Looks more like CoD than BF2.

[Arclight]

It does? I actually think BF 3 looks rather apealing... Little less one-man army, more being part of a team.

Just a little bit of one level though, might turn into guns blazing CoD-clone after that. :hmmm:


As long as they stick to the concept of squad-based combat, I might actually pick this up... though the bit of shooting in there looks as generic as it gets. :hmmm:

Still looks very good. And that's in pre-alpha is it!?:o
