Battlefield 3

[NTH]

@Krad
Kind of like a hardcore mode, stuff like that.

@Zoo
Maximizing sales? That might be so, depends on the investment deal that is struck, if any.
Since games are published by a publisher, like EA or Ubisoft, I believe the ROI is of course important, but they won't cut the margins just to get the quick fix.
There is no continuity in the long run if you do business like that.

That's why it is only for the pre-order versions of that game.

I'll just wait to see the others playing and post a review of it. I cannot be be persuaded by Beta-version review or even release version sneak-peek reviews. They contain too many promotions for sure.

12 Minutes gameplay- mostly known stuff but also some new scenes.

Sound and graphics are stunning, but the AI..meh. I hope they will work on that

Also, as pointed out by Barth:

Just saw it seems the cartridges aren't moving on the HMG mounted on the pick-up when firing! For a modern game like BF3, that's strange, even on BF42 it was "moving" (well, you see what I mean).

We finally get animations for entering vehicles in the BF series and THAT'S what you noticed in that scene?

I dont like the coloring of the game, a bit too dull and dim. And to make it more realistic, they should remove ammo HUD indicator. But it looks amazing, and I will probably buy it. Maybe last game before its children making time.

Or rather, have it show only number of magazines and the weight/estimated amount of rounds left.

I am not going to spend money on this because my computer simply cannot handle it.

And I am not going to spend money on a new computer, since this still worked very well.

If I really managed to get a new computer this this game is moddable, I'll consider buying it, else...

"The game is still early in development, but I can tell you that Battlefield 3 will have the largest maps we have ever made" - Patrick Bach, DICE

I find this a bit strange considering they aren't increasing the player count, add a couple more flags and most full-size BF2 maps could easily handle another couple of dozen players.

Well that statement can go both ways; the maps in BC2 were as big as BF2's but they had huge red zones... Eventually the actual playing field was rather small. Could be the same for BF3, could be that they figured out how to compensate. (ie vehicles were moving rather slow in BF2 so more realistic speeds should compensate already)
