Battlefield 3 - Part 1

[Balthus Dire]

Played abit of the SP.
Graphics, fantastic, AI, stupid as rock. Pre-rendered cut-scenes annoying.

That's one of the things I hated about Gears 3. Some of the cutscenes were in-game models, but you could really tell when the pre-rendered ones played.

The plane part was more enjoyable than I thought it was be.
Even though it's a lame on the rails section, it gave a fairly good illusion it wasn't through the presentation.

A good video showing the 360 version with and without the texture pack.

Wow, that's crazy. Didn't realize the difference that would make. Altho I have a feeling a LOT of users aren't going to realize this and just ***** about how bad the game looks.

PC Reviews:
IGN - 9.0
Game Informer - 9.5
1up - A-
Gametrailers - 9.2
Joystiq - 4.5 out of 5

The gist so far is: meh to not bad single player, awesome multiplayer.

Excellent.

Watched the IGN review & the game looks really splendid. I'm pleased to hear that the unlockables will take ages to fully unlock, Bad Company 2 didn't have enough & you could unlock pretty much every weapon by less than a days worth of gameplay if you were good.

Roll on Friday.

Maybe its because iv been so focused on Batman, but i haven't really been that excited for this, until like, right now. Iv got like a few hours to wait but I'm dying to play this.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Friday here. :/

Same for me... except I live in the US.

Also, f***ing Game Stop WOULD have a sale on 360 hard drives & then stop it the week before my bday. I REALLY need to get a new one (espeically because of this game), but I don't have anything to get rid of. That's one less bday present.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I gotta wait til tomorrow night, and thats assuming if I go to a midnight launch, which I'm not sure about anyway :P

I got around it with a proxy.
Been playing it most of the day.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I like the little Johnny 5 robot thing. Not sure how actually useful it is but it looks cool.

[Wolvieboy17]

So it's like a remote, robot repair tool? That's pretty ****ing cool

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Installing it to my HDD now. Cant wait.

 

[The Guardian]

Just picked up my copy, but I'll be playing it tomorrow, it's late here so, I can't play it now anyways, I'll hit it in a few hours!!!up:

Crap, so I can't install the HD texture pack to my external HD or even the memory unit? Awesome, thanks DICE. At least I have a 250 GB HD on the way via eBay.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Ok WTF, where is the Hardcore mode? Seriously. No hardcore mode means deal breaker.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Played for about 2 hours and am really impressed. Outside of the fact that there seems to be no hardcore mode(which is a HUGE deal) the game is fantastic. Visually its top notch, sound is off the charts and the mops are gorgeous. Its so bad ass running to take an MCOM station and seeing, then hearing two dog fighting jets scream past you. Things get super intense when the maps come to a bottle neck and there is just tons of debris and smoke covering the fighting area.

I am praying you just have to unlock hardcore mode as i really can not stand to play reg rush and conquest.

 

[NongEyeGong]

Even without the HD install, I'm having a blast with this game. Hopefully I'll be able to experience it when my HDD comes in tomorrow or Wednesday.

Flying the jet was exhilarating and confusing all at the same time. I definitely need a Goose to my Maverick.

Yea i just found it in the server browser. Thank god.

Yea the jets are awesome. Had a nice little dog fight earlier. Came out victorious, of course.

 

[MoPlaYa]

Played a bit of story mode... pretty sweet! Im gonna wait till tomorrow so I can play multi with my friends

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Maybe EA aren't monsters after all

 

[Wolvieboy17]

23 hours left for me. Hey Pat, will you be on this time tomorrow night? Capwood and I are gonna be signing on for the first time so maybe we can squad up and you can hold our hands while we get used to everything :P

 

[Iceman]

Has anyone played the 360 version yet?

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I believe that's what Pat is playing on

Rented this today. The sp is not good. Very boring. The online however is very fun and ive changed my stance on battlefield online. The visuals are good. Very enjoyable so far
