Fancy a bit of friendly competition between gaming platforms? Assuming you're playing Battlefield 3, competition is probably right up your alley anyway.
DICE has issued a challenge for Battlefield 3 players to play 19,420 rounds of BF3 on Wake Island. The challenge started yesterday at 5:00 pm CET, and DICE is tallying up the round count based on platform. PC, 360, and PS3 players will all be competing against one another. The prize for first place is a special dog tag usable only once the challenge has been completed. It will be unlocked for everyone eventually, but the faster your platform of choice completes DICE's task, the sooner you will be able to use the new dog tag pictured below.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
These challenges are dumb. Not all platforms have the same amount of players and on the 360 there isn't a single Wake Island server up.
All the little kiddies play is Oman/Caspian or the AK map pack.
Which is a shame because Wake on BF3 is one of the better maps. Good luck with this challenge. I won't be participating.
Oh, cool! I know what I'll be playing tonight then...

Just kidding, I'll do my bit to help Ps3 win.
