Battlefield 3 - Part 1

[ProjectPat2280]

Well, they better anticipate our collective boot entering their butt with the force of mack truck doing top speed.

LOL.

I feel ya man.

 

[Balthus Dire]

How could they possibly not have anticipated massive server activity???

 

[Clu]

only problem i had with the servers was voice chat cutting out and dying all together.

dont get me started on single player issues, had more issues with single player then i did with multi. Like the screen turining all white when i look at a light in the sky, so it was impossible to move and see enemies in a major battle because of it.

and the enemies that know exactly where you are and ignore your team, but only attack you. dumb computer cyborg bots.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yep. Enjoying the game. That is all.

 

[MeenieWK]

Can any of you USA types let me know what the 360 version is like specifically

Full of bugs like the Beta?

Im a massive BF:BC2 fan, so aslong as it is as good as that, but alot prettier, i'll be happy

 

[MeenieWK]

also meant to say, is there a download patch one day 1 to fix the beta issues, or where these fixed already?

 

[.Rorschach.]

I pick it up tomorrow.Been watching streams of the multiplayer since it came out.This will be my first Battlefield game.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Nowhere near as buggy as the beta, at least on my end....

I have it on 360, and I would describe it as basically Bad Company 2 but much bigger, much fuller and richer environments, better weapon design just... just more robust a game in general. Basically, it makes Bad Company feel like it was sorta a halfway point to this game but yeah, if you loved Bad Company 2 then you will most definitely, definitely love this game.

I'm loving some of these maps right now too, the Seine River one is great. Although, in that D..... Peak map, I got so pissed because we won a match quickly and we lost a match quickly so I didn't get to parachute down that awesome, awesome cliff! :P


Edit: Reiteration due to your second post, there WAS a day one patch (quite sizable too) and I have encountered a total of zero bugs I saw in the beta, except for a guy who went flying in the air, although he HAD been smashed into by a C4 loaded jeep, so perhaps understandable :P

There was some server trouble originally, I would recommend if you're playing in a squad with friends, you browse the servers rather than quick match it :P

ALL OF THAT SOUNDS RAD... man i cant wait fo rfriday
it sounds like everything i hoped it would be

You can server browse??? ive not encountered that on an xbox game before

 

[MeenieWK]

and thanks for the info dude, youve made me even more excited fro friday.... which cant come soon enough

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, it's really neat. The only other console game I played with that was Aliens vs Predator, but there were never any games. Here, it's actually really convenient and easy.

Same here.

Exactly what I want to hear. Just went back to BC2 to get my last 2 achievements and forgot how good that game is!

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Glad to hear you'll be on board, Bro. Cappwood and I were playing tonight, and while it was heaps of fun, I was really missing having more competent players in a squad :P Our guys weren't on mic and just loved running into the heat of battle with a sniper rifle out.

Also, they've adjusted the classes a bit so it'd be good to have a squad that wasn't ALL assault class :P

For sure man. I've got quite a few buddies getting this early so we should be able to run with a full squad (or 2!). My favourite role is medic (or engineer on tank-heavy maps) so that works. Also I'm Objective Guy. Costs me a ****load of deaths but dammit if I don't set those charges!

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Ah, but that's one of the changes... Now assault class is medic, so assault rifles with medkits and defribs, and what used to be medic is now 'support' class, with LMG's and ammo resupplies. It's a cool idea, but people don't seem to heal as often as they should and now it's rare to have people with ammo for you :P

 

[StrainedEyes]

I just like that they released the glitchy beta to test their servers, and got a lot of **** for how broken the beta was, only to have the servers crash day 1. Good jobs all around.

I'm enjoying it so far, but I am getting a lot of teams with no interest in winning.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

What's your GT, Geo? I'll be looking for people to play with over the next week or so until I can convince my regular gaming buddy to pry himself away from Seriously 3.0 in Gears to come and play a real mans game :P

[Mrs. Sawyer]

My gamertag is "Mr Parker Wayne" (without the "" of course)

And can someone tell me the positives and negatives of each class?

 

[Balthus Dire]

I wouldn't worry too much about the incompetent lone-wolves. I'm sure most of them will disappear within a couple of weeks.

 

[GhostPoet]

I'm planning to get this...but i'll probably wait for the pice drop on the pc

 

[Matt Mortem]

I just spent the last 2 hours playing the solo campaign and so far it's pretty underwhelming. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but to me this is just another military shooter, just like the 60,000 other out there like it. It's not a bad game, the graphics are really phenomenal, but I really feel like I've played this game before. It's just not my cup o' tea I guess.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I really dislike how how world war world 2 games and militery games have been hodgepodged due to call of duty and MOH. There are tons of varied militery shooters than play nothing like Call Of Duty. Likewise with World War 2 games. They are not all the same.

Yea, thats kind of a duh statement. DICE just tossed in a SP to keep those people happy. This game truly isn't about the SP, at all.

I still say they should of dumped it and put even more effort into the MP.

I love how they have handled the jet/chopper campers. Allowing you to spawn directly into one is brilliant. I just wish there was free movement with your head while you are flying. Its kind of hard to track your enemies without it.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

There is on the pc, just hold down the right mouse button.
Check the game manual.
