No Windows XP Support?

[Update 3] For clarification, the document doesn’t say that XP is not supported, it only lists Vista and OS X.

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

It was pointed out to me earlier that it actually 80 players per map and 40 per team.

just went back to first post, i read it wrong, my bad. oh my god. i take it they're banking on everyone running a high spec pc on a 20MB internet connection then?
maybe it was just a general server problem, but yesterday i went on a few full 64 player servers, and on each one, there were a maximum of 5 people with pings under 100. they were Europe run, at which i normally run on about 50-80

Maybe they have made some advances in their netcode since 3 years ago? Considering this will be about 4+ years later since BF2 was in development, I am sure they have moved forward in certain areas and found great talent.

Why would you base any judgment of BF2's shoddy netcode? 80 man sounds fun given the map size and objective base gameplay that incorporates teamplay not just capping a flag over and over...

no. the term racism is so wrongly used these days that most people don't even know what it means. if ya want an example of racial discrimination, look into the KKK, which as i happens was mainly based in the US.

more to the point, in current affairs it basically is that. NATO fighting resistance in the middle east. BAM!

but why middle east?dont u think they have had enough trouble?
this is getting racist even though it is a game it should not mimic real life.
why would nato attack as united nations got overthrown from iraq.

you could always pick on the germans or russians or viet cong againlol:p

How about add blackwater and civilians to the picture.

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

^^ we do have "civilians" in PR, it would be nice to kill some NPC civilians though lol, like in AA

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

When DICE made BF1942 they had a gem on their hands .... amazing game ... buggy at first, but patches (which included free content btw .. vehicles, maps, etc...) corrected that. Then they made a biggest mistake ever - they joined/where bought by EA. Money money money.

BF2 was crap ... yes i played it since release, but never did any game made me so nervous and angry at some times as BF2 ... crashes, patches, gameplay changes, bugs, unbalanced unlocks, weapon tweaking, etc... But BF2 was only game of it's type at that moment so i kept on playing it.
They promised support, we never saw any. Competitive community (clans) never saw a damn thing of that promised "support". Public didn't get much either. Anyone still remembers BFTV that was "in production" (or something like that) ... ?

I've been playing QW since betas .... and SD/id just amazed me by their constant support .. they actually listen what people have to say and make changes accordingly. And the game is out (with betas) for only 2 months .... BF2 in 2 years didn't even come close to that.

I bet BF3 will be same as their predecessors ...
*you'll get all these announced features, half of them will be cut in release (best ones) ...
*you'll get promo "in game" videos that will look thousand times better then the game on release (anyone remembers BF2 teasers? youtube it and be amazed) ...
*you'll get a game full of bugs, you'll get no support from EA/DICE (as can be judged from their previous games - excluding BF1942) ...
*couple of booster pack so they can make more money out of naive fools (boosters will have only 2 somewhat populated servers after first 2 months) ....
*modding community will get promised alot, they'll receive nothing - maybe a new BF game after a few months, while their mods will not even be finished by that time, limiting the amount of people who will actually play those mods


I hope i'm wrong and things will be different ... but i seriously doubt it ... hope they prove me wrong.

Till then i'm never buying any of their products again.

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

1. - BF1942
1.5 - BF:Vietnam
2. - BF2
2.5 - BF2142
3. - BF3 ,albeit a step backwards but in the right direction too...oddly it works.

If they are bringing to the table what they say they are bringing to the table, looks like I will need a new PC or a New OS... New an excuse to upgrade anyways... was thinking a New MAC too :)

Count me in! :yay:

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

give me a new WW2 large map vehicle based with an awesome map design like bf1942, and more then 2 armies back and i will buy the next BF game.

its all they need to do to make me happy, put unlocks if they want, release good expansion packs like road to rome (not booster bricks), have a ranking system, i dont care, just give me a game as fun and enjoyable to play as BF1942 was and u have my money.

WW2 or not i'll stick with the awesome mods that are comin for BF2.

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

why does every BF since vietnam need a ranking system ffs 1942 didnt have it and i played that +1500 hours while bf2 i wont even come to 200hours played...

BF3 looks to me like BF2 with "improved" graphics and a unlock system like 2142...same bs nothing more ugh

go FFOW!

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

I think I did the math one time, and counted up all the weapons in BF2. It was 90, I think.

8 maps to ship? We got 10 with BF2, and more with 1942!

Re: Battlefield 3 Possible Plans Revealed?

sounds like another mod to me, all they can do this point is steal from the community and make a new game out of it.
