I have MAG for the PS3 and I see your point as to the openness of the maps and it does have 64 players on some of them.
What disappointed me with MAG was 1, it lags something awful with my internet and 3, that there was a lack of the teamwork feel that I find in BF3.
MAG still is the BEST PS3 exclusive modern military shooter out there and alot better than either of the SOCOM titles.
Are you a PS3 only BF3 player? If so ,hang in there! Your patc...
Fantastic comments you 2!
For me ,BF3 is a way of life. It's my drug of choice, There is nothing out there since the days of Ghost Recon 2 on the old xbox that comes close to this much fun to play!!!
TooTall19: Single player games are fun. Although I don't think I have tried the single player in BF3 yet. I have too much fun playing the mutli-player with 7 others in a party ( once we get everyone on the same side ) and just kicking ass with some GREAT...
This story truly hits home! This can happen with any game you enjoy too much! To the author: you did a GREAT job with your wit and humor.BRAVO!
I have seen some posts about the 2143 maps maybe being considered for the future DLC. The whole thing is so open to the current events of the world today.The game DLC could take us anywhere. Lybia,Iran,africa.ect.
What ever they have planned for next weeks news conferance will tell alot about what the future holds for BF3.
Lets hope for some more weapons,vehicles,and loadouts. Maybe a 2 player jet,like a F-15?A Mi28 hind would be cool also.

I LOVE BF3!!! Its all I have been playing since it came out. To those that are complaining about the glitches in the game,the next patch should be here real soon.
I will enjoy any and all dlc when it comes out and with MW3 saying that they will come out with 20 or so DLC packs over the next year my hope is that EA/Dice will be right in there with there dlc releases.
Lets just hope they don't rehash the same maps that are already there...like the CoD serie...
To Yi-Long, What this game could really use is a private host mode. It would be nice to hook up with 8 friends in a party and explore new maps,hiding places,different weapon loadouts, and a chance fly the jets and copters without risk of getting hammered.
The best thing for us to do is to let EA/Dice hear our thoughts via the BF3 web sites and blogs. I have to say the servers are getting better and the patches seem to be coming out on a regular basis. Lets hope the same ca...
What a great bunch of responses! As a avid fan of BF3 I can relate to all of you and your comments!
The problem with BF3 ,is that you get alot of gamers that play games like CoD or Halo don't take alot of teamwork to do good in.
If you have read my rants on other BF3 related stories you know I have always said that if you don't like working as a TEAM and communicating,then don't play BF3!!!
As far as snipers go there is always a w...
I have a set of the TB deltas and have to say that the sound is awesome. The only draw back with them is that they there a pain to go through to turn on and sync up every time you fire them up.
Also the owners guide is a bit limited as far as in depth information.
As Phantom said " timing" is important. There will be other players on your side getting harassed by the same copter or jet more than likely they have launched a stinger at it. Time your shot to send right after you see the flares dissolve,then fire your stinger or guided shell at them. It takes a short time for them to reload the flares. Persistance is the key!
Although this is a very brief "Tanks for dummies" guide,it does offer some good info. To those new to the game,watch for higher level players on your squad! They should have alot of upgrades already unlocked...like the 3rd seat.Make sure 1 of you is a engineer with the repair tool.
If you do get into a tank as a top machine gunner scan your 360 often as there are some players that LOVE to use c4 to deal with you! If your in the 3rd seat and have the infrared opened ...
You may want to get it at release. If you pre-order it ,you will get access to exclusive launch content. Check out Gamestops web site for more info.
Laxman,The funny thing is they both come out on the same day. Thanks for your reply!
This by far is my most wanted game of 2012! Being that its a 3rd person shooter that takes teamwork to enjoy to its fullest should not appeal to run and gunners that play the CoD series. Like in the Battlefield series,I have met some excellent and longtime friends playing ghost recon over the years.
GRFS has been a long time in the making and after to many release date changes,it will be nice to finely play this one. I can't wait for the beta in a couple of weeks!
This could go either way. I feel the way you do,but with MW3 instead of BF3.
I have to say that the author gives us his thoughts on the ins and outs of both games. Although I feel by the end he is leaning more towards BF3.
I own and play both games on the XB360 and PS3 and will say that MW3 and BF3 have a very different styles of game play. Where as BF3 relies of teamwork as the way to success,MW3 is more a run and gun lone wolf style of play.Thats why CoD d...
Yeah right. LOL!!! More like CoD/MW3 rejects!
I can see your point and I'm glad to see that there are games out there just for gamers that like to snipe. Sniper Ghost warrior comes to mind. If they want a REAL challenge,try playing either of the Operation Flashpoint games. Needless to say these guys wouldn't last in those games!
These guys are just a target! Sitting there just waiting for a well place tank round or visit from a attack chopper. I look at them as hitting the XP points lotto!!! YACHTZEE!!!!!!
I am more of a battlefield fan than I am a CoD fan. Although I own and play both series of games,to me NOTHING beats the online VS mode of BF3!
Even though I may not get the most kills or always be on the winning side,I always come away from a match enjoying myself more so in BF3 than ANY CoD game ever has.
The problem with CoD is there is NO "team" in "me,me,me"! It takes skill to drive a tank,fly a jet or copter with success that most run a...
This is just too FUNNY! The one about the "CoD show offs" really hits home! I see them try to play BF3 and wind up leaving the match in less than 5 mins from the start!
I will always consider myself a "Objective player" and have been so in EVERY BF game.
BTW,whats that funny looking thing between that kids fingers in the picture above the "CoD show off" part of the story???
To think I get to work with these littl...
I don't use the sniper kit much either. I think you have more kills with it than I do. There is another post N4G about tips for the jets/choppers and also 1 for snipers.Both are full of GREAT info!
Thanks for your reply and see you on the Battlefield! You can find my XBL G/T in my profile.
Granted the game is new and it does have its flaws, theres no reason that some of these ideas shouldn't be put into future BF3 DLC.
As with past battlefield games,PLEASE don't give us a bunch of rehashed maps with different play modes that are already in the game. They should take a cue from the CoD series as far as DLC maps go.
What I would like to see is to be able to take a 8 player party into a match and still have them all and up on same side,in the same...
This is a sad,but true case for any game.With it being a CoD game,Saints Row 3,Skyrim,or even BF3. The key to keeping a game alive is the DLC that comes out for it.
So far we have had only 1 map pack come out for BF3 and that was shortly after launch. MW3 just released there 1st map pack last week. As said by activision they plan on being very aggressive with getting there out there over the next 9 months.
I have a few games that I got for xmas that I will st...
