New Battlefield 3 User Interface In Development?

MP1st - PC gamers playing Battlefield 3 may be in for a real treat soon as DICE begins work on a new user interface.

-Alpha5251d ago (Edited 5251d ago )

I remember DICE making reference to the Commo Rose/GUI threads and faintly promising to implement improvements based on the feedback users left, so I'm fairly certain that DICE is looking for either legal permission or looking to reward the user like they did before.

What is truly impressive is how open DICE has been and how they seem to be rewarding constructive fans. That's something I haven't seen any other developer openly do on their forums.

I'd like to know what type of "legal issues" they'd have making a overhauled UI for the game.....? There's no legal issues, maybe trying to get certified from the publishers of their console games but that's it, you think they'll reject a better UI? lolno.

ETA: Why would they directly take it? Making one again without being a screw up isn't that hard at all. Yeah it's better but I doubt they'd outright take it without asking his permission and reimbursing him. Besides, his UI is good but probably hard to navigate as it looks to be semi-difficult to switch between the spawn and weapon system. Honestly, I don't know why they don't do a BFBC2. It was perfectly fine.

Still isn't a classy move to take someone's UI concept and use it for your game without asking the original creator or at the very least, thanking/crediting them.

Well, the GUI that one of the fans made absolutely blows anything they have out of the water:

Better for them to be on the safe side maybe?

They look sweeeeeet. With sugar on top.

Seriously though, I find it annoying when I dont play with my friends I'm never with people using headsets and I'm screaming for a medit kit or a repair if my tank is on fire or something and they just stop and stare >:l
So would like to see some commands on console.

On PC (yes finally got it on the good old PC) I seem to play with headset only peeps :)
(Thats because i've only played about 3 games on PC lol)

Would I be in the minority for saying "Nooo!"?

Ducky5251d ago (Edited 5251d ago )

Probably.

The UI is much better than the current one. The only issue with this one is that lower resolutions won't support it as nicely.

... but for larger screens/resolutions, this makes everything much easier to do as opposed to fiddling through multiple menus.

... and it makes the commo-rose something more than an afterthought as well.

lorianguy5251d ago

It's better, yes, but I'm a traditionalist at heart and I don't like changes as in once I'm used to the UI, I don't want it to be replaced.

I mean that in the nicest way possible, with no offence to the hard-working devs at DICE.

STEWIE_PLAY_PS45251d ago

Oh That I want please...... I vote for sure/YESSSS LOL.
Do u agree

The last 2 look awesome... One thing I'm missing also is seeing my own ping as well as others. Not being able to see if I'm lagging in a server is frustrating.

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

XiNatsuDragnel471d ago

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

anast471d ago

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

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

Knightofelemia1256d ago

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

MadLad1256d ago

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