Battlefield 3 (Official Thread)

ok yeah...exactly right. I guess CoD gets a pass because it was the first FPS game to have QTE that I remember...any game with QTE has to be linear because it must guide you to those events.

 

i have same problem unless had high expectations off a game i will finisch till the end.

 

Ive tried flying jets atleast 15 times and I just cant do it. im pretty good otherwise in the game.

any tips for flying/attacking with jets with kb/m?

 

Join a server that has no body playing and hop in a jet or heli and just practice. That's what I did for BC2 lol. Really just takes a lot of practice.

 

Setting spacebar as pull up instead of fire weapon, I find it helps when someone is on your tail and you need to do some tight maneuvering.

Sticking close to the ground so Anti-Air vehicle and soldiers don't get a lock on you.

Using afterburner to move fast.

Not flying into the ground helps too :>

 

Am I the only who actually liked the campaign? I thought it had a lot of nice subtle political/foreign relations nuances. I felt the personality of the characters to an extent too (not the fighter pilot guy or his female co-polot though - they were dull as rocks).

Was a bit confused at the end of the story, here's why (please fill me in if you got it better than I did):

Spoiler

Did Dima kill himself? I heard the cock of the gun right after the knock on the door. Also, did the U.S.-Russian war get prevented? And were Dima and friends working independently from the Russian government, like Blackwater did for the American government?

BF3 still not available in NZ unless preordered....:bang:

 

You mean retail or digital too?

 

Retail...not sure about digital. Was supposed to be available on the 27th.

Meh, I'm not waiting any longer.....

 

CoD's always been linear though and that's what IW are good at.

BF has always been about open warfare, I much preferred having bots to play with rather than a campaign.

 

hell no

 

Hell yes. A boring 3 hour campaign vs all of the multiplayer maps with bots? Then there were loads of singleplayer mods.

 

I would rather a full campaign and bots so you can mess about on the MP maps.

SP wise, i would just like more freedom, you can still tell as story, but let the player do it their own way, and don't have 10second time limits if you happen to go on a wander, or AI so scripted your team mates barge you out the way, and not QTE's please.

I'm enjoying the SP somewhat, but i'm starting to worry eventually all FPS's will just be the same game, with a different story.

 

Got you. LOL.

 

There's supposed to be some tessellation and other thing's right? Don't see any :3eyes:

BF3 Ultra settings



Operation Guillotine Teaser

 

Is everything on ultra and you have every option on including MSAA and antialiasing post and HDAO?

I think tesselation comes when the ground texture is set on ultra.

 

I have everything maxed out in that pic.

 

Minimum 8 players to start a game lol

 

Well then what we got is not what they said we would get lol

 

Last interview I watched mentioned (Light) Tessellation on ground textures and the rocks/mountains. IMO, I like that they opted not to use heavy tessellation, game like this you wont even bother to notice. The lighting and overall look is what makes this game shine.
