Did this seem like a rip-off of Inglorious Bastards to anyone else?
@DeadRed
No it won't. Please get your facts straight about the PC. The only way it'll cost you that much is if you buy a PC pre-built.
I could build a high end PC for around $500- and that's all new parts. Considering I would transfer a bunch of stuff from my old PC, it would cost less.
I'm not going to lie and say it costs just as little as a console, but IMO, it's worth the couple hundred extra considering i get a M+K...
@guigsy
It won't. They said if you could run BC2, you could run this game on PC. Console fanboys always think that it costs thousands of dollars to play on a PC. That's a load of BS. If you have half a brain, you can build a PC yourself and it'll last you for years. And when you do need to upgrade, you don't have to do everything. You can do just the video card or whatnot. Yes, it may cost a little bit more to play on a PC but it's not as bad as man...
@waterboy
Are you saying they're only doing 24 players because they want to steal the CoD players?
It's because the console's hardware and network can't handle that many people. It physically impossible to have that many people on the consoles without the game slowing down. It has nothing to do with trying to steal a demographic.
Is there a link for an HD copy of this trailer?
@Yo Mama
THat's probably your problem. You're playing on a console aren't you? Consoles can't support many players. PC's will support up to 64 and it's not hard to find populated servers.
If you're going to be playing on a console then you're probably right about the map sizes. They can't support an adequate amount of players to fill them properly.
@Yo Mama
Join a squad. When you die, you can respawn with your teammates. Also, there are almost always jeeps around that you can drive. Oh, and there's the ability to choose where to spawn so you aren't really that far from the frontlines.
I will say this though, the controls are the one thing that does have me worried about BF3. I really didn't like the way BC2 moved. COD clearly has BF beat in terms of mouse movement (I play on the PC) ...
They did it because they've been bought by consoles but MS more specifically. That's who they sell the most to. I play FPS's on PC so I know where you're coming from but COD has pretty much given up on the PC crowd. The fact they can't even do dedicated servers pretty much proves that fact.
The reason there's so much hate is because of Activision. They offer nothing new with each iteration in the franchise yet nickle and dime you to death. Before Activision took over IW, each COD game had new stuff that was actually innovative. Once Cod4 became the smash hit became, Activision pretty much just took the game, told the creators to not do anything too radical, and charged more for it. Now it's so obvious that it's actually funny. Just watching footage of MW3 is lik...
This game probably pissed me off more than any thing else simple for the fact that Tim Schafer's studio/talent is being wasted on a kiddie game. Seriously???? Games for 5 year olds can be made by the studios that don't have large budgets or experienced game creators. I guess Psychonauts 2 will have to wait at least another 2 or 3 years.
Almost nothing in terms of hardcore exclusives. That's where it matters. The hardcore exclusives. They had Halo and GoW but everyone already knows about those.
Hey MS, how about some NEW stuff that the hardcore gamers might want? The key word there is NEW.
I don't have a Kinect but I thought I'd wait a while and see what MS would do with it. Boy am I glad I waited. It's clear now that the Kinect is an abject failure if you're a hardcore gamer. There is nothing they've shown that makes me want to use it in games over just a controller.
epically horrible. They looked like fools playing it and had almost no control of what was going on.
It's still not a mouse.
Umm....it says there's no hand-to-hand combat anymore. Am I missing something. It's been years since I played Oblivion but wasn't hand-to-hand predominantly the main way to fight people? What's the point of melee weapons if you don't have h2h fighting?
Someone please explain this if I'm missing something here.
Edit: Nevermind. I read a different article that was more descriptive and it made the distinction that it was the H2H &quo...
You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. The only way you got pings that low in MW2 was if you were the host or next door to the host. In BO, if you got pings that high, you were doing something wrong, had a shit ISP/connection, or connected to horrible servers. I routinely had pings around 60-70 even with the horrible GSP that Activision forced people to use.
You're right but considering IW spent a lot of money and time developing IWNET, I think they are going to stick with their shit tech for this game as well.
What does Steam have to do with DS's? Steam isn't a DS or a P2P setup.
The move is interesting but it still isn't nearly as good as a mouse for FPS's. The best idea I've seen that merges the precision of a mouse with the convenience of a controller can be seen here:

Simply adding a trackball and having the game creators SUPPORT the thing in their software would be a boon for FPS's on consoles. (Very important that the t...
Exactly right. Also, by using this method, you're essentially cutting the resolution in half. You see one half of the pixels while the other person sees the other half.
It's a nice trick but you can't compare this with Sony's TV.
