Battlefield 3 trailer looks pretty damn awesome.

Fuck that. It looks goddamn awesome. 64 player maps are in and holy moly, did we love those in the past BF's. Still, anyone willing to install new porn deletion program Origin to be able to play it? Name feels like a kick in the nuts when you're familiar with the old dev studio. Not to mention that this is EA. The one company that seemed to have picked up, sucked dry and tossed away too many of the most fav dev teams than I care to number. Choices and consequences?

Already pre-ordered this puppy. Who gives a fuck about EA, i loved previous BF games and i'm sure i'm gonna enjoy this one. Shogun 2, Battlefield 3, Saints Row and maybe Desu 3x , these are my picks for GotY this year. Battlefied 3 generates the most hype in me though, i can't fucking wait.

And fuck Red Orchestra, i'm not going to be forced to play fucking reds or filthy nazis. Jesus fuck, talk about nice design gone wrong.

Ban Konjad.

Face it, you just can't afford a PC decent enough to play BF3. You don't even have a job, so suck it up you emo ponyfucker. :smug:

BF3 is a multiplatform game.

It's made for 7 years old hardware.

RO2 is a PC exclusive.

So Konjad can afford a PC to play the modern PC-ex but can't afford a PC to play a game with old graphics?


Well at least you weren't a retard enough to say that if the game doesn't include USA it's a shit design.

Looks pretty impressive. And there's the "vault over obstacle" option which was sorely missing from Bad Company 2 with its glitchy environment composed of knee high rocks you couldn't jump over. I'm mostly interested in jets, though, because they look like loads of fun. Not realistic or anything (and actually way too slow), but still fun.

Trash, 3rd screenshot is a pre-render.

1st screenshot looks quite terrible with an empty plane and a 2d texture of smoke in the background

2nd screenshot looks quite good thanks to shaders but nothing other console shooters with PC shaders didn't offer.

BF3 certainly looks OK, but nothing a 3-4 y/o PC shouldn't handle on maximum settings.

Damn, you guys have it backwards, its not play AS Nazi or Commie, its KILL Nazi or Commie. Which is why poland loves this game, in one game, you get kill Russians AND Germans.

Much nicer than generic WW2 nameless Kwan soldier singlehandedly WINS THE WAR!!!

Decided to watch that gameplay MP video

Doesn't look much different from BFBC2 apart from nicer 2d backgrounds.

Wasn't BF3 meant to "totally push grafx to da max on PC" ?

Why would anyone choose this or mw3 over Red Orchestra 2 anyway?

Well, mainly because of the the destructibility, arcadey but fun approach to vehicles and a frantic pace (especially in Rush mode). It doesn't really target the same crowd RO2 does.

Oh, and I forgot to mention sound. Man, BC2 was very impressive in the sound department. I hope they do the same in BF3.

In SP you get two campaigns, in one you play as a wehrmacht soldier, in the second as soldat.

Too bad it doesn't run on XP cause it doesn't support DX9.

Gotta pass on that one and play RO2 instead, which will be better anyway because of being WW2.

It's a PC game ported to consoles. And the console version is pretty gimped in both scope and presentation. TWitcher 2 (love it or hate it) is also a PC game ported to consoles, still, currently it's the fucking best looking RPG on the market. There are also plenty of PC exclusive titles which look sub-par to BF3, so that doesn't mean shit. BF3 looks good, not uber-fucking-amazing, but good. RO2 looks mediocre, has smaller maps, no vehicles and no destructible environment. Suck it up Skyway :smug:

Guess I actually AM forced to play as evil Nazi to kill the even more evil Soviets. Well, maybe a good replacement for ET.

Twitcher 2 is a fucking console game and it's seen in the first minutes you play it, stop the bullshit.

Also it does look great, but it suffers from console retardation non the less, stop the bullshit.

BF3 doesn't look much better - if at all - from [random- new-FPS-ie.CoDMW2]

BF3. 64 players multiplayer.
RO2. 128 players afaik.

BF3. Jump around shooting enemies with RPG.
RO2. Shoot enemies from a cover and die killed by a machine gun shooting through your shitty wooden cover.

BF3. Go into a tank, drive 100kmph and shoot enemies

RO2. Go into a tank with your teammates, drive and stop sometimes so another player could target and shoot.

BF3. Get hit 5 times, cover, regenerate health, run and shoot, get hit 6 times, repeat.

RO2. Get shot in the leg and crawl slowly, get shit in the gun, need to pick it up again, find a good spot to shoot and do it, perhaps be unlucky and get your weapon jammed, get hit by one bullet in the head or torso and probably die, or survive and die killed by the second bullet.

my favorite part of playing RO was trying to pick between Stormfront hosted servers and servers in Russia hosted by National Socialist groups.

I'm actually seriously tempted to pre-order RO2 right now even though I dislike DM games most of the time.

So let's discuss RO2 ITT.


Let's talk about the important thing called "teamwork". Will they improve it? (yes the improvement with the tank crew is a good one)

By "teamwork" I mean actual teamwork requirement not shitty Battlefield'ish "somebody got wounded, you get an indicator where, you run there heal him ACHEIVEMENTZZZZ"

Meaning randomly running around lone-wolf style is even more punished.
