3 truths about Battlefield 3

The Gamer Sheep website has posted three things it feels are true about Battlefield 3. Those include that it doesn't matter that the single-player campaign is "standard" or that the multiplayer is ripped straight out of Battlefield Bad Company 2. It's still a good game.

i like how this "article" renders itself useless..

S_C5330d ago

Cant wait for this game only 2 hours left Oh My Dayssss

ATi_Elite5330d ago

1. Great Game play
2. Great Graphics
3. Great Game

dirthurts5330d ago

You forgot great audio.
Doesn't anyone care about audio anymore?

TheShow175330d ago

I definitely think it's a huge selling point.

Pintheshadows5330d ago

Does it still have wartapes?

Spitfire_Riggz5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

Oh my god audio is so amazing in this game.

EVERYONE SET AUDIO SETTING TO WARTAPES

crawling through the rubble hearing rockets whistle past your head and crumbling rock makes you feel like your in a real war

edit: come to think of it, i have no idea why war tapes is not the default option!

veChuy5330d ago

Thats not truth I play with friends and even when I play alone I just want accomplish the objectives this give sense to the game and give you more points if u want rank up fast. and there are TDM servers if you want run & gun I think this guys doesnt played the game yet.

1. Campaign sucks
2. DICE managed to make the game look like one from the PS2 era if you don't install the texture pack on the 360 :p
3. The MP is where all the fun is at

Who plays on consoles?

Iroquois_Pliskin5330d ago

probably 5 million people if you count the sales on consoles

Hicken5329d ago

1. No, it's just not exceptional.
2. You might want to blame that on hardware limitations, not on the developers.
3. If this is true, then it negates your first point because your first point is irrelevant.

"It’s also essentially made up of bits and piece taken from previous Call of Duties."

I don't recall ever riding shotgun in a jet in any COD games. Or driving and fully controlling a tank through the desert. What COD was that? The single player in BF3 is gravely underrated. It really picks up after Operation Guillotine which imo was the most boring mission.

"The majority of us don’t care about teamwork"

Speak for yourself. For me that's always been the best part of Battlefield, and what sets it apart from the braindead k/d oriented shooters.

"The first thing I noticed about the BF3 multiplayer is that it bares a striking resemblance to Battlefield Bad Company 2. It has the same modes, many of the same vehicles, and similarly massive maps."

Can't you say that about almost any FPS sequel this gen? Unlike many other FPS multiplayer games BF 3 brings all new maps that are bigger, better and more balanced than anything out there. Shouldn't you be bashing other FPS games for NOT having vehicles or enough new maps instead of bashing BF3 for it?

"Remove from your brain that this game is somehow a COD killer or that it does stuff never seen before in the genre."

Then I would be lying to myself.

***I don't recall ever riding shotgun in a jet in any COD games. Or driving and fully controlling a tank through the desert. What COD was that?***

They said, borrow "bits" and "pieces" so not all of it obviously. Even the control scheme is essentially lifted of CoD.

The mission, Night Fall, was what made the BF3 bareable and it is very similar to "All Ghillied Up" in CoD4:MW. Just not as good....

So yes, there is definitely borrowed pieces from CoD and I expected as much.

I wouldn't say more balanced than anything out there.... Also, some games don't focus or have a need for it. It's like complaining why we dont' have laser weapons, because Halo has it.

Just read the review of Eurogamer and here's a snapshot for you.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the folks at Infinity Ward and Treyarch must be feeling pretty special right now. In retooling DICE's military multiplayer favourite as a direct competitor to reigning heavyweight champ Call of Duty, EA has constructed a package that echoes its rival in so many ways it's downright eerie. If Call of Duty is Bridget Fonda, then Battlefield just became Jennifer Jason Leigh.

And
"The majority of us don’t care about teamwork"

in XBL, everyone is doing his own thing, running around like headless chicken.

PirateThom5329d ago

The game just launched, you'll have the CoD kiddies running about for a few weeks. All big FPS games suffer thsi before they go back to CoD and the userbase stabalises.

I joined in on BC2 quite late and it was all teamwork all the time.

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

XiNatsuDragnel508d ago

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

anast508d ago

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

Johnh5223508d ago (Edited 508d ago )

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

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1293d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1293d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
