Battlefield 3 (Official Thread)

I will preorder it too but probably next month.

 

You get the maps even if you don't preorder them, as far as I know. You get them unless you buy a used copy.

 

Well said ...

I totally agree ;0)

 

Your reply showed me that you didn't actually, or I wouldn't have said it. You may still disagree with my actual point, but as far as I can tell, you don't know what it is. Now lets move on.

 

Graphics are always important and it seems that BF3 will delivered. How can it fail if it will look better than the already good looking BFBC2??

 

Nope. They will be released a month after release in the form of paid DLC.

This was obvious as they say at no extra charge on the preorder. Do we know how many maps will be in the game?

 

Paid content in a months time?
OK i think we should break out the old double reverse jinx for this game.
just post saying that "it will suck" anywhere in a relavent post and let the jinx trick do its magic.
Its our only hope at this point :bang:

 

Battlefield 3 - Gameplay Trailer Analysis

DICE won my eventual pre-order with this trailer, cannot wait, looks a work of art.

 

Conveniently letting people know that it will be paid and delayed DLC so well in advance.

Sounds like a marketing plan to get more people to pre-order the game.

 

Crap! don't have money

 

Btw, the CM confirmed the four maps of the DLC

Wake Island, Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman and Sharqi Peninsula.

Instead of Sharqi they should have taken Mashtuur imo

Gonna pre-order, too. But only a few weeks before release.

 

its gonna suck the donkeys danglies!!

 

i'll be pre-ordering it soon as it's available on steam, but am i the only one concerned about the netcode? seeing that BC2's netcode is terrible *still* danno bout you all, but im kinda worried about it! good graphics dont help hit detection and lag

 

No, Sharqi is an excellent map and my fav stock BF2 map( Warlord is my absolute favourite ) , hope Wake will be more balanced this time around. Nice to have 2 maps where the US start off on the aircraft carrier

 

Sharqi is also my favorite. I also love Jalalabad.

 

Yes yes yes,great maps to be released from BF2,they shoulda released
Fushe pass,mashtuur,Dragon Valley also,i think they will if demand is big enough.

Wake island 739 hrs
Sharqi 350 hrs
Karkand 687 hrs
Gulf 56hrs

These are the hrs i have on these maps on my BF2 account,even though i have more hrs on Karkand,Sharqi is actually a better map,the more i played the more i preferred it over karkand,so much that i actually stopped playing karkand for quite some time,i dont think ill be playing Karkand as much this time round,but Wake Island is the best for me.

On our BF2 server years ago all we used to run was Wake-Sharqi-Karkand 24/7...the server was full and you had to kick people to get on most of the time,i hope BF3 can capture all that BF2 had,im a little pissed off at the 4 classes though,exploitation and Spamming will commence once again just like in BC2,not the players fault,DICE's fault.

Infact if the other BF3 maps are not so good,we will be running classic BF2 maps 24/7 with Frostbite 2.0...."If its not broke why fix it"?

Lets hope it works as a major fail can really **** the game up in the long term.

Really excited over these maps,there all great,every single one of them piss all over ALL BC2 maps....Gulf has the Heavy Bomber if i remember Su35(2 pilots) from the defending team.

 

My 4 favorite maps! Yay:banana:- I quite like Sharqi Peninsula- I just hope the choppers are as powerful as bf2, thats what made the TV station so important in that map

 

Yeah without the TV station the USMC was pretty much ****ed,great trying to win it back


Remember trying to sneak around the back and up the stairs usually running into a claymore lol,or while you were taking tv station you would get sniped from the crane in the construction site.....always prone from then in when taking tv station...BF2 really does have special maps,there very very well made and will become some of gamings "Holy Grail" of maps design in first person shooters.

To me there already Legendary status

 

It will be interesting to see just how much destruction they can add in to those maps. for example it would be great if you could say blow up the crane to stop snipers on Sharqi or even cause big damage to the aircraft carrier on gulf...
