Battlefield 3 will get demo before release

DICE executive producer Patrick Bach has revealed in a new interview that Battlefield 3 will be getting a demo before the release of the game, much like the previous title, Battlefield 2.

Very Nice. Means we'll get to see what the game looks like on Consoles hopefully.

saladthieves5509d ago (Edited 5509d ago )

This is actually good news! From time to time, I wanted to try out the new Call of Duty game that comes out...problem is there was no demo...every time. It's like Activision just knows that people will JUST buy it, and they are right. But their arrogance doesn't make them consider people who are new to the Call of Duty games.

MostJadedGamer5509d ago

It would be foolish for Activision to release a COD demo as the risk to sales would be FAR greater then the reward. It would be a TERRIBLE business move.

As far as Battlefield 3 EA is going all out to take down the COD juggernaut, and most importantly feel they have a truely mind blowing product that can do it. So in this case it is GREAT business sense to release a demo.

I'm certain that we'll see Battlefield 3 running on consoles in action soon, probably we'll see an E3 reveal :-)

Agent-865509d ago

My guess is the demo will be SP and the beta will be MP.

We Medal of Honor ppl better get the beta before this demo

Rearden5509d ago

Hopefully they'll have a public beta too, for everyone else :)

bozebo5509d ago

The BF3 beta is the only reason anybody would even want medal of honor.

Shouldn't devs give betas to people based on their hardware setups? Isn't the whole point to test different systems? (PC)

Ducky5509d ago

Usually betas that require an application will look into your hardware.

Though betas can often be for different purposes. Asside from simply testing different hardware setups, they can also use it to stress test the servers or rout any exploits.
That's where the swarm of beta testers come in.

metsgaming5509d ago

also betas are to find and fix bugs and glitches

Rettom5509d ago

Dude, I bought Medal of Honor for the campaign. And it is THE BEST CAMPAIGN I HAVE EVER PLAYED!

Good :D

Hopefully it won't be like the Crysis 2 demo lol. I personally am still expecting some consolization or at least a whole load of bugs. Yes I know they said they are taking care with the PC version, but I'm not sure I believe them. I hope that they at least tweak the network settings to actually make use of the better network setups in server farms (high upload speeds etc, ie - not the peer to peer quality settings that most console ports stay with when they are on PC... games like bfbc2 and cod)

Either way, BF3 will still be worth a purchase and thoroughly enjoyed by PC and console gamers alike.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14970d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

TTK for BF employees needs adjusting

A Day After Launch, Battlefield 6 Beta Already Has Cheaters, but DICE Quickly Cracks Down With a Ban

DICE is quickly banning cheaters in the Battlefield 6 beta, with a developer confirming that they are aware of the hacks.

raWfodog284d ago

They need to add an option for crossplay with other console players only. Otherwise I’ll definitely deactivating crossplay altogether. These cheaters on PC are already ruining this game and it’s still a few months from general release.

P_Bomb284d ago (Edited 284d ago )

What’s the appeal in cheating @ multiplayer? Deep down, you must know you suck lol. Yay?

jjb1981283d ago

I never understood that. I remember a guy that commented on a YT video I saw had said that he uses Cronus because he works a lot and doesn't have time to sweat. Lol, I was like "wtf?".

PRIMORDUS279d ago

Developers should find a way that if they detect your cheating in a game, have it so none of your shots register against other players, you can't kill anyone. Bascially, you would be useless in that game LOL.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel497d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast497d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223497d ago (Edited 497d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.
