Yantelope Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 No, they made an in-game browser but you can only use it on the console versions. Yes, you read that correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've decided I won't be buying it. If I do, it will be on 360, because fuck Origin. But Origin makes me not even want to buy the console version. Coincidentally, it's also made me swear off SWTOR Online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 BF3 will likely be the last EA game I buy if they keep up this shit. I'm really torn on this. One side of my brain is telling me that I'll still enjoy playing BF3 despite my grievances while the other is screaming at me to cancel my preorder rather than give into EA. I'm sorry guys, I can't stand by you on this one, even if I do want to. My willpower is just too weak when it comes to BF3. On the plus side, I can report back on the quality of the release version and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDex Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 At least you can admit it. Â Were you in the BF3 alpha perchance? Â No, the fuckers never sent me an invite. From the sounds of it, it's probably a good thing that I wasn't. It seems the alpha was as much a turn off as the recent news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's coming from a Battlefield fanatic too. I'm late to the party on BC2, but I would definitely say BF3 felt more like BC3 than BF2. The movement was too fast, and I would have canceled my pre order just because of the dolphin diving, honestly. I started shooting at the ground in preparation for people dropping it was so bad in a couple servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDex Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) "fake realism" makes me think you're being sarcastic but I'm going to assume you're not and agree. Back when I was moderating servers, I'd say the biggest portion of our kicks were from a)people dolphin diving and jumping about and B) people complaining that such a rule is silly* and we're silly*. I've always liked being able to immerse myself into a match and nothing ruins that faster than some bunnyhopping, dolphin diving noob that thinks he's got skills simply because he bunnyhops and dolphin dives...yet still dies when doing so.  Hacked this sucker out.  http://deltagamer.co...-of-battlefield  EDIT: And yes, from everyone I've talked to, it's less BF2 and more BC2.

Mal Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 To show how much in the dark I am of the actual game... dolphin diving? You mean like the move in Black Ops? Ugh... I already hate the folks who already go prone the moment shit goes down (Like someone with ED). Eh. Waiting and seeing how it all ultimately pans out. I know I can adapt to them but yeah. What Yant said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Yant said. Â Yep. The good old jump-immediately go prone type of deal. Â I'm not 100% sure about this, but I also can't seem to remember any game having as fast on the ground movement as BF3. I feel like I would be a lot more excited about it and perhaps willing to overlook the Origin mishaps if I felt like the game was actually good. Sure it was just an alpha, but they've got a long way to go before it's on the level of BF2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Is Zhinto behind the balancing for this game as well? I remember reading that he was. If he is, it doesn't show a lot of hope for the future of balance changes in the game so if movement speed and so on really is out-of-whack, we're likely out of luck.

excaliburps Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 So, Battlefield 3 beta date? Â Here's what a "source" told me... Â http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/87853/inside-source-battlefield-3s-beta-start-date/ Â Yep, not confirmed, but I do think that is the date...Can't go into anything deeper than that unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vargras Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Battlefield 3 apparently has 1.25 million preorders. Â That means that 1.25 million people are essentially buying Bad Company 2 again, yet they'll still praise it as the greatest game in the series.

Yantelope Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Is it really that similar to BFBC2? I didn't much care for the multiplayer demo of BFBC2 that I played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Is it really that similar to BFBC2? I didn't much care for the multiplayer demo of BFBC2 that I played. Â I got into the alpha, played for about an hour, then uninstalled it and never looked back. Â It's basically BC2 all over again, except all the good bits from BC2 are gone. So it's somehow worse. Â BUT DON'T WORRY, THERE'S JETS NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) But think of the millions of unlocks! Â I did the same, though. Prone has returned and it's janky as ever. Edited September 9, 2011 by Sporkwaffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
