Battlefield 3

[r3t]

I was being sarcastic since everyone jumped on id for the issues Rage had, and now that another big (probably much bigger even) budget title fails I'd like to see the same kind of hate and abuse.

PC nerds. Just get a console version, sit on the sofa with a nice drink and chill the fuck out.

someone ban this idiot...

[Deathshroud]

I'm jpe30, accept my friend invites.

[Tsakali]

is Deathshroud taken? what's the fascination with having 30 diff. handles online?

[Deathshroud]

No fascination, I just use different ID's on occassion, I rarely use Deathshroud anymore.

Played some last night... totally awesome, but it feels much more like BC2 than BF2, to my dissapointment.
Still an epic game that will give me hundreds of hours online.

Sp was pretty cool.

[andyman]

conquest is on my 'never play again list'
rush is pretty good SOMETIMES, depends on whether the other team winds up with 6 tanks or not
tdm is awesome

[Big Kahuna Burger]

thermal scope is op as fuck

[scared?]

lol tdm is best in all fps no matter what....understand no0bmasters?...

[scared?]

haven't even tried nothing but tdm...and why would I?...

[reefsurfer]

tdm is for lonestar gimps with tunnel vision
and for crushing lonestar gimps with tunnel vision with a good squad

Dident TDM in this game allow all your friends to chat and be in the same squad (e.i one giant squad not limited to 4) ?

It's still a bit of bummer that it's limited to 4 people in a squad/chat.

[scared?]

team games that involve more team play than tdm are fagoty follower shit...grow a pair and play like a real man...

Not doing as good on the console versions I see. I'm still amazed a publisher like EA gave the greenlight to put the PC version as the primary format for a game as important to them as this.

[scared?]

pc version is primary format? i can't even bind all my keys...

[brisk]

I'm gonna stop using VPNs to activate games early, simply because the extra 3 or so days it takes for games to unlock in Europe usually gives devs chance to fix their shitty buggy games. It's not much fun being a beta tester.

Jesus, an 83. What a shit score. I never buy anything below a 90.

[Denz]

Whatever happened to buying a Game on DVD and you stick in your activation code then play? EA Screwed the pooch when they used Origin. This sucks. I can't play my game because Origin doesn't work.

[Denz]

Oh wait, Origin is EA. No wonder.

I obtained a copy and played through a bit of the SP. If you guys thought Rage was walled off and linear and scripted, you should play that shit. Somehow they even managed to make flying a fighter jet in a war zone boring.

[brisk]

yep, sp is terrible. i'm sure shaft will defend it though.

You were told exactly what to do, when to do it, with giant flashing targeting reticles that tracked enemy planes even while off-screen. And why were we forced to select between the gun and missiles? There was no sense of speed, urgency, or danger. Most of the time you sat around with a thumb up your ass waiting for them to even let you do something.
