What? if thousands of players are unable to play the bread and butter of BF3, the MP, is not a 'rough' launch, then what is? The word here is unplayable, if you are unable to play a game, then what is the point of having the game? Your illogical reasoning is way beyond belief.
One very biased review using words such as this game is MP and SP and Coop are bonuses because the reality is the latter two modes are crap. Reviewing a game covers the whole parts and not removing the not so good ones and focus on some parts. A perfect score but the article is saying problems here and there and BF3 all too similar. Garbage review.
The website should change its name to AttackoftheBFFanboy.
Speaking too soon? EA Xbox360 servers are down at the moment.
DICE need not worry as the SP campaign is crap, these pirates will eventually buy the game for MP.
"With less impressive visuals, horrendous texture pop-in (even after installation) and smaller battles, the Battlefield 3 console experience is a shadow of what is offered on computers and not something I'd recommend. I found the whole game distinctly less fun on the Xbox 360, feeling sterile and looking almost ugly."
So much hype for the HD texture pack and frosbite 2.0 and this is what we get. In this case, BF3 will follow BF2, just another shooter dropping by...
The purpose of the beta is to test our backend stuff to ensure that everything will work out fine at launch, says DICE in defense of the bug laden beta.
A true example of the word - FAIL.
Eurogamer says;
"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."
Well, If...
"Although the multiplayer is solid, balanced and competent, it feels more like a re-tooling of what has gone before, rather than an evolutionary step forward"
So much for the BF fanboys calling every COD game the same, and so what do we have here?
BF3 is like the same old BF.
I really wanna smack back in the head those BF idiots who keep saying over and over the same lame anti-COD line.
You know douche bag whitelightning, you're just another idiot using the same lame argument against COD, same moronic lines over and over...you BF pin heads can't really think of new ones? Oh yeah, you're retarded that's why.
You are one ignorant stupid jerkol.
I was referring to battlefield bad company 2, this is when the BF series started to challenge COD when MW1 brought the FPS genre to what it is today. Battlefield 2 did not make any impact to the rise of the FPS.
There was a lot of confusion in the Beta where it's a common sight to see players shooting their own teammates because enemies don't have red indicators and look exactly alike them. This is not a bad thing because I myself find it common to take down an enemy that I initially thought was friendly. This was aggravated by enemies not showing up hostile in the minimap or not showing at all. Why can't DICE just use a different color uniform for opposing forces, like in any sports?
All game site previews noticed BF3 trying to be like COD. From SP campaign, BF3 coop, MP team deathmatch, attachments and camouflage, - BF3 wants to be like COD. So instead of MW3 a copy of old COD games, it's BF3 copying COD.
Played the beta and used a number of ARs, and I really can't tell the difference in any of them.
You're all dumb and stupid. COD 4 came out first before BF2, BF 1 aka 1943 is WW2 game. The subject of this article is camouflage and BF never had anything related to camouflage before. You said COD games are copy and paste, wake up you idiots, it is BF3 copying COD.
Everything in this game from shooting mechanics, graphics, player movement, weapons, etc is LAME compared to both COD and BF.
BF is really copying and embracing everything that originated from Call of Duty.
No, N4G is a BF fansite. I have been following stories on this site and every positive or bias BF article coming from never heard sites or writers are widely published. N4G actually nerfed Modern Warfare 3's popularity, by separating "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3" and "Modern Warfare 3" and did the ridiculous, as either two goes high in the ranking, it always reset to a number somewhere in 10th position. N4G is another Bf fanboy site.
No, not him but you are. You didn't understand the part where he says multiplayer will come later because he was asked not to for the moment?
The answer to your question is there will be millions of COD players, please check Major Nelson's stats when MW3 comes out in a few weeks and for the whole of next year. This year with that Karkland expansion you are boasting, BC2 is languishing in top 9 while 3 of the top 5 are all COD titles. Mind you COD MW1 is contesting BF2 for that top9 spot.
