This deserves its own thread.

[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvmN_qpeFLU"]Battlefield 3 - Online Multiplayer.[/YOUTUBE]

Just spectacular; simply the best multiplayer experience I've ever seen in FPS's. Battlefield 3 has officially beaten Call of Duty! Exactly as I've predicted. Who is going to be playing MW3 now?

My copy arrives in 2 days; just going to stay busy until it comes. Just so excited. :SaiyanSmilie_anim:

Unfortunately; I buy this game for the PS3, which won't be half as good in terms of performance, as compared to that on the PC.

I've been playing all night. It's fantastic.

Where did you order from that you have to wait 2 days?? In the age of digital download, who waits?!?! I walked into a GameStop and picked it up today without a preorder.

PC or Xbox? I'm on PC.

Battlefield 3's release date in the United Kingdom is the 28th October.

haha, you haven't even played MW3 yet and you say it has won already? It could easily be the same snoozefest that BC2 was (admittedly only part true, depends on who you're playing against). It hasn't come out here yet either, but I've seen people in my friends list playing it... I'ma gonna go interrogate.

edit: Turns out the store released it early. Very sneaky stuff :)

BATTLEFIELD 3 developer HAS OFFICIALLY wet his pants over CALL OF DUTY!

I take your loudmouth comment and turn it into nonsense, so there was essentially no change at all. :einstein2:

I got it on PS3 despite the fact my PC can run it on ultra basically, so I could play with my friends and squad up, which would be nice if squading actually worked. Mixed feelings about that, but what can you do. I'm having a lot of fun. They seem to have changed the aiming from the beta which is screwing me the hell up, and I REALLY wish C4 would be available across all kits because with map size, only 24 players, the chances of you vs. a tank are very high which means you're fucked if you're not an engineer. Blows for me, since I love playing Recon, but I'm nearly ALWAYS a negative for my team since they don't offer too much utility.

I love the first days of the game because everyone's trying to get into the helicopters/planes and crashing into the ground instantly, making for funny views. A complete blast.

It's MW3 with vehicles, objective teamplay, and destruction. It's better.

I'm not much of a fan. Vehicles for me is just more shit to deal with. Objectives are not where it's at, the real grit of FPS and other such competitive games is the mindgames (though these things add their own mindgames, I feel it's not a necessary addition). I do really like Destruction though. I really like BF, I play it quite a bit, but I really like CoD just a bit more. It's the simplicity that makes it much more fun.

Still doesn't look as good as the first Crysis. I can't understand why people have called it the Crysis killer.

And does this game have a single player campaign mode with an actual story?

The only major issue I have with this game is.... They didn't add a Colorblind mode. I'm not colorblind, but one of the guys I always game with is. He's ridiculously frustrated because your own squad is green, and the enemy is red.... Guess what the most common type of colorblindness is? Red/Green. It's stupid. They had a Colorblind mode in Bad Company 2. Damn near 10% of males are colorblind. Given that their primary demographic is male - they've pretty much just ignored nearly 10% of their customers.

Dumb.

I solve this oversight by firing at everybody. But yes it would be nice, because I can't tell who is on my team.

Well, as of 2 days ago the official stance of DICE was that they "Will not implement"
An online petition got started with their customer support and it garnered enough support that they have changed their stance to "Under Consideration". I don't know how serious that is, or if that's just a statement to appease the people who are having a bitchfest about it.

Can someone please explain to me why is it there was one time I respawn in just 5 seconds, and why, on the other hand, do I respawn in as much as 10 seconds? It's a waste of energy waiting that long.

I can play with you later, I think you're on my friends list. Unfortunately my headset isn't working but we can play on Ventrilo for voice. Need to unlock my M39 EMR! I fucking love that rifle.

I cannot play. Either my university internet or Dice's authentication system is to blame.

I hate you all.
