Other General Battlefield 3 discussion thread

BF3 makes me wish I had a gaming PC, my 360 will have to do though.

It looks great though

 

anyone noticed that on amazon they have the release date of bf3 for the 28th october? yet its meant to be 25th?

 

BF3 shows what PC's can do.

It's a great shame that only DICE seem to have the balls to make a PC Game first and then port it over to consoles!

 

It's out in the states on the 25th, Sweden and a few other places on the 27th and the rest of us get it on the 28th.

 

28th in UK, Friday? that's good news for most of us i'd thought.

im away on that weekend though

 

28th is my birthday, so not complaining at all... BEST. BIRTHDAY. EVER!

 

It'd be the worst BDay ever if the servers were that crammed you couldn't connect.. it's happened before lol

 

Given all the issues I've experienced over time with in-game server browsers I fully welcome battlelog.

You guys are also forgetting the other benefits of a web based launcher, imagine this:
"Hey, this website/clan/group has their own server, I wonder what it's like!" *click link on website which takes you in-game*

 

So true, it happened with BC2 for me. At least I'll have SP right, unless that's dependant on servers too?

 

I played the alpha. It didn't work well for at all.

 

What kind of problems were you encountering? Ran flawlessly for me.

 

I think you've answered your own question... ITS AN ALPHA

 

You mean like we used to be able to do 12 years ago with UT99

 

Wow, thanks for clearing that up. I really never put the two together

Anyways.

I just don't care for that system. To me it's just another unnecessary component that can fail and bring down the whole system.

It uses origin. I'm not installing that piece of crap again let alone any of digital distribution platform. At this point I just don't feel like giving EA my monies.

The browser page crashed FF and chrome a lot for me. Couldn't figure out why. I wasn't a fan of logging into Origin and then logging into battlelog. Why two logins?

 

Time to buy a gaming PC?

 

Chrome and FF never crashed for me, Origin isn't that bad, use auto-login so zero logins after the first....

 

Lucky you.

 

You fail in every possible way to grab the concept the game is work in progress. The ALPHA wasn't there for you to bitch and moan at how **** the engine is, or how **** origin is (in your opinion)

The ALPHA was there primarily for one reason only, and that was server stability.

I have your answer, you don't like the game, next time don't apply for the ALPHA and waste a slot when a person who is interested in the game can HELP make it better and second, don't buy the game!

 

let's be honest here. alpha, beta are all here to build up the hype for the game. they sound more exciting than demo and if there are bad things, people could just say it's not finished yet.

 

Greetings!

This doesnt make any sense. A game can be updated how many times the developer wants. It has nothing to do with server browser based browser.
Deus EX HR, relased this week, has already two updates:

Pretty sure Origin could do the same.

And, for the ones comparing server browser based browser to the BC2 ingame server browser, BC2s isnt exactly the best out there.
