Battlefield 3

[vanilla]

Hangon, you weren't so high cocalorum earlier.

If BF3 is exclusively desert then that will make me sad. I like lush green forests, snowy landscapes with ever green trees, gingerbread houses and candy cane walk ways - None of this Allāhu Akbar malarchy.

I wasn't? As far as I can remember I was always pro DICE and BF. However, I am also against desert. Agreed... let them Arabian guys Jihad in good ol' Europe for a change.

Hahaha! I actually think Suez is the best map in vanilla 2142, mainly because you have room to maneuver your tank without getting hung up on obstacles. Desert warfare should provide more of the same.

DD.

real world ranks means (i think at least) they will introduce PPH

PPH was in the console version of Battle Field 2

PPH is points per hour,

PPH was needed as well as medals to advance in the ranks ie. 250 PPh plus 2 medals would give 'X rank'

Its intended to separate the good players since you need an increasing PPH to rank up and tking etc would lower it.

it reduces smacktard-ness among the main community but promotes exploiters and cheats...

just want i think

Oops, got you confused with 'Minmaster', he also has an Asian women in his avatar.

It is more than likely BF3 will feature destructable objects and terrain as was advertised with that silly console thing so tank movement will be greatly flexible. Desert is just so.... bleeeeeeh.

Well, it is supposed to be against NATO, after all. Doesn't that imply some maps set in Europe?

IMO that would ruin the system. They should keep the old way, but tweak it a little.

Not necessarily.

Most Vista problems has been solved by Microsoft by now, game problems are generally caused by older games not designed for Vista. But I see your point here, BF2142 gives me mixed feelings cause I really love the gameplay and such but it's a buggy little piece of **** at the same time

Hope DICE/EA make something much stabler and with much less bugs.

Did anyone read the agreement that comes with vista? You, as the owner of software are no longer in charge of your own software. M$ft determines what is best for you to paraphrase it. YOU are no longer the adminstrator of your own software on your own computer. I hope I am wrong. I knew someone that worked at M$ft and this person told me don't bother to upgrade because it was still buggy. Most of the issues have been solved is probably true, but not all.

Think about it if you had destructible environments with in-game ads then you could just take a tank and blow the crap out of all those ****ty billboards.

[vincentj]

Not necessarily.

Firstly, we must assume that this game will be based off a full scale war rather than a skirmish, which is pretty safe to assume. In a full scale war, both sides end up pushing into the other's territory.

Now let's assume that NATO is indeed the aggressor (I'm not trying to offend anyone or imply anything), and are attacking MEC territory, much like the PAC in 2142. In this case, most maps will place MEC as defender, in the manner of the EU in BF2142.

Of course, this would mean that most, if not all, maps will be set in MEC territory.

But remember, this is EA! So several months down the line, we have a booster pack with a similar theme to it as Northern Strike. MEC somehow go around NATO, and attack their territory. Maybe there would be a D-Day style map set in France, and another based off an attack on Norway. And hell, probably a second booster pack where the MEC attack the USA and Canada.

Think about it if you had destructible environments with in-game ads then you could just take a tank and blow the crap out of all those ****ty billboards.

LOL. Though if they did put IGA in, billboards may be the only item of construction standing after one round.

look at the images, I know it's not BF3 but if it's going to be anything like bad company, it will have the same sort of maps. :yay:

Agreed!

I dont mind desert but it has to be diverse like someone said, unless the maps are very well designed

And the game will run on XP, if that release date of March is valid and true (which seems fishy because a company like EA would want to be creating hype over the game before release) then they arent about to deny a huge majority of the market from actually playing the game

I think it was perhaps more about using dx10 or vista features if applicable

Well remember that they say mostly, But hey, PC games are always best, so if it s better than BC, from the looks it will dominate FPS, 80 players, blowing up houses, we are witnessing the evolution of video games.

Possible screen shot
Well here is some more information about Battlefield 3 but this has not been confirmed by EA or Dice we can only hope but looking very promising
