[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Superb graphics

[lil Titan]

Need...Beta...NOW!!!

[Anarki]

I really hope these games beat the hell out of the Call of Duty franchise...

[Parasyte]

@Pixelated_Army

Not going to happen. Anyone that has a copy of Medal of Honor will be able to play the beta. It's not exclusive to any certain console.

[lil Titan]

@Pixelated_Army i hope PS3 gets 64 players online

@Parasyte anyone who has the limited edition of the game and i think its on PS3 gold members will have access i think not sure

[DrRichtofen]

For getting medal of honor it mentioned the battlefield 3 beta does anyone know how to get it? Is it just for having moh or what?

[DORMIN]

.

[Sarcasm]

Cant wait for some gameplay videos

[Wenis]

BF3 looks and sounds absolutely amazing simple as that. I mean wow, being able to destroy a 7 story building and have it collapse to the ground... *boner*

[The_Claw]

everyone, you can find the full scans here, no crappy cellphone photos

http://battlefield.gamersve...

[captain-obvious]

day one on PC
cant wait

[I_find_it_funny]

do want.. now!!!

[NeutralGamer]

Exclusive beta test? Are you stupid?

We already saw what happened with COD: BO when they dont do proper beta test on all consoles -.-

[kancerkid]

@The CLaw,

Thanks for linking to pics of someone who actually knows how to use a scanner!

[MWong]

I second that ... I can't wait to play it. I am waiting patiently to get my next issue of GI.

[AEtherbane]

What im really excited about right now
In the second picture, the one that says "power tot he pc..." on the bottom right corner...
that soldier is firing left handed!
PLEASE BE A LEFT HANDED MODE FOR GENETIC MUTANTS LIKE ME!!

[MidnytRain]

I hope we get some shots that have a bit more personality soon. It doesn't seem like those pictures really tell us enough about the game. I was hoping for something more signature (though the last one is good). I can't wait to see the vehicles and destruction in action.

[Nightshadow]

All in good time, the suspense is killing us all =P

[AndrewRyan]

The power of the cel... I mean... PC.

[Horny]

Ya this is one game to get on pc. Ill probably end up getting this on ps3 as well to play with friends.
anybody know the specs needed. I might need to upgrade to get the full benefits :(
the one thing I hate about the pc is devs don't fully optimize hardware so if you want the best possible experience you have to upgrade every 2-3 yrs.

I'm hoping they would have dedicated servers for ps3 but knowing it always has to be equal on both consoles that won't happen.

[ji3200]

THIS IS FAKE AND ITS NOT A GAME!! ITS ACTUAL PHOTO!!!!

[Shackdaddy836]

Are you joking?

Its really hard to tell on the internet....

[specialguest]

WHY DO YOU TYPE IN uppercase LETTERS ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME?!?!?????? QUIT SHOUTING!

[deadoralive1337]

*Sets Aside $60 for Battlefield 3*

[BigKev45]

$63 with tax in Connecticut.

[ThanatosDMC]

$64.94 here in TX.

[captain-obvious]

thank god we buy things tax free in here

[NeutralGamer]

100 $ in Denmark...

[mp1289]

what, we get 9.5% tax in washington. you guys are lucky

[lex-1020]

65 in california

@mp1289
That sucks. California has 8.75%

[TheNocturnus]

$64.92 in Missouri

[Bromeslice]

6.75% in N.C

[goodfellas27]

%8.75 in NYC

[tawak]

just like call of duty series ,superb graphics keep updating their engine since 2007 (sarcasm)

[superrey19]

I really wish these were actual scans though since these pictures are pretty low quality. Nevertheless, game looks sick!

[lex-1020]

Full scans are on this website

http://battlefield.gamersve...

[lex-1020]

full scans are here

http://battlefield.gamersve...

[IcarusOne]

This looks sick. I hope the console versions don't get too gimped. We'll have to wait and see but if they can pull this off, it's devs like this and CryTech who really punch some gaping holes in the theory that exclusive = superior.

[peowpeow]

"Power to the PC player" :')

[NeutralGamer]

Nice :)
Cant wait

[saladthieves]

It's official! EA and DICE keep on bringing and improving this superb shooter while Bobby Kotic and Activision keeps on giving your cheap half assed ports with nothing but reused material. I know where my money is going!

[Hedberg]

Looks schmooks......One question for ya DICE.....can ya go prone in Multiplayer?

[Kazu0 Hirai]

yes you can go prone in multiplayer

[superadvanced]

finally a pc game that looks far better than crysis. good looking games up till now have only looked arguably better.

[Crazyglues]

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! Hell yeah... wow

Call of Who...??? This is Clearly going to be My GAME OF THE YEAR!!! Wow...

DICE you have out done yourself... OMG!! I can't wait..

Pre-Ordering right Now As I write this, Amazon just put it up... OMG!! How sweet it is.. Can't Wait. Dec 21, 2011 I hope that's just a placement holder date, because I need this game sooner then that... Ouch!!

[neoandrew]

Scan is sh*t, tells nothing.

[frostypants]

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but those screens are touched up. Just like the screenshots of BF2 were back in the day.

[user858621]

Woooooo!! RIP all other online shooters the king is back!!

[SSKILLZ]

Duke nukem ! ???..........jk man !

[RyuCloudStrife]

not a joke

[SJPFTW]

played the Beta. killzone 3 sucks, which im disappointed because i believed all the hype until now.

problems are:

1. connection. only played for a day before not being able to connect. not only one experiencing it

2. spawns are worst then even Call of Duty, never thought it would be possible. You spawn in the exact same small room all the time. All i did was cloak hid in their spawn then melee them

3. besides the top notch graphics (which isnt that impressive when you take into account its 2 guys and a wall), it does nothing new. Gameplay is Basically a rip off of call of duty and team fortress 2 and still failing to emulate what made those shooters great.

sorry great graphics dont override the fact it is a mediocre gameplay experience

i know DICE wont disappoint.

[awiseman]

if you mean king of Broken online shooters then yes BrokenZone is tied with COD.

[duplissi]

bah!... you guys can go crawl in a hole somewhere....
the killzone franchise is one of the most unique shooters out there (the immersive perspective, weighty feel, awesome visuals, and universe all just suck you in and set it apart)

that being said im not a stuck up moron.... i am just as eager to throw down on any new battlefield game as i am killzone.

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

@SJPFTW: It's a beta, not a demo or the actual game. I didn't find anything wrong with the spawns. If you're a spawn camper then I pity you. One of the reasons it plays like COD is because people bitched about the weight of the controls because it didn't play like COD. GG listens to there audience and gave them what they wanted, not what GG wanted.

BTW- Battlefield 3 looks absolutely incredible

[DavidMacDougall]

I hope this is a true BF2 sequal, i really hope its fuck all like COD, i really wanna see gameplay before i get my hopes up.

[captain-obvious]

team fortress will still live
COD will die thats almost for sure
on PC that is

[Horny]

Looking at these images it kinda brings me back to when I saw battlefield 2 for the first time, had so much fun with that game.

[xXFrostXx]

Looks really good from the scans, I cant wait to see footage as well as get info on the incoming beta.

[Pandamobile]

Why can no one properly tag articles on this website....

How do you leave the PC channel out of Battlefield 3 news?

[bluwulf]

Because console fanboys think its going to look like this when the retail code finally shows up.

[VenomProject]

Who's to say it won't? Have you played both versions?

[jidery]

Considering it doesn't look better than KZ3, its probable.

[sickbird]

*360 fanboys, have you not seen KZ3?

[LightofDarkness]

I can say unequivocally that yes, this does look better than KZ3, judging from about 2 or 3 of those shots.

Will it look better on your console? Probably not, but on the PC it will certainly trump just about every other thing this year.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

I love Killzone, everyone knows that, but you guys have to be blind to think Battlefield 3 won't look better, at least on pc.

[MidnytRain]

"Because console fanboys think its going to look like this when the retail code finally shows up."

Who exactly are you talking about? I don't see any comment on this page that suggests that. This article was submitted by a single individual. Perhaps your comment should be directed at Rikitatsu, seeing as that person is to blame for leaving out the PC tag; not the "console fanboys".

[Pandamobile]

@Jidery

Lol, Killzone 3 barely looks any better than Killzone 2. If you don't think Battlefield 3 (at least the PC version) will look better than those blurry, washed out games, there's something wrong with you - and it's a bad case of "Fanboy-o-vision"

Edit, thanks to whatever mod added the PC channel in after the fact :)

[BiggCMan]

This is a blurry camera shot of a magazine, and you guys are saying it looks better than Killzone 3. Yea that makes loads of sense :/ And how do you know that this will look better than Killzone 3? Nothing has been released yet, but you guys make these ridiculous statements. Killzone 3 is an amazing looking game, and certainly does look much better than Killzone 2 for that one guy who thinks it doesn't. The most important thing here is that PS3 owners have the option for both, amongst many, MANY other games out there.

[bluwulf]

@ Venom

I don't need to play bf on console to know that a PC W/Directx11 is going to look better, perform better, have more players online & better mods.

History has always proven console fanboys owned, when it comes to developers showing bullshots of PC code up until the demo lands, and idiots try to say "buh its just early code..' Why morons never question the code used in the screenshots and video captures thats older & looks better, is beyond me. Theres no console retail game that trumps its PC counterpart.

Thats why I know.

Its going to happen again for Rage/Brink as well. As its happened for Metro2033 "ZOMG LOOK AT THOSE GR.. wait, whats this shit on the console?!? Why doesn't it look anything like anything shown.. buh the developer videos had the console buttons on the GUI."

U guys get played every year. Same shit.

I game mostly on my consoles, but I have the sense to know that retail release wise, the PS3 has the most advanced engines out. But they are still a huge step down from the PC.

[peowpeow]

BC2 looks better than KZ3 multiplayer beta to me, yes I have both and have played KZ3 beta quite a bit.

I don't know why BC2 isn't mentioned when talking about graphically amazing games..it's probably the 2nd best looking game I've seen on PC, only behind Crysis with it's jungle setting

[Shackdaddy836]

That destruction on the 3rd pic looks amazing.

[Phil4000]

Wow the detail is amazing. See the lower right corner of the second shot "Power to the PC Players...."

[StarScream4Ever]

I actually had to rub my eyes to see if its not actually a shot from MW1.

OMG! Wow! Great job DICE! SOOO STOKED FOR THIS GAME.

[peowpeow]

That first sentence alone seems like an insult ;D

[LMS]

it looks almost exactly like what BFBC2 looks like on my rig in dx11 with everything maxed, in all honesty, it looks grainier, though those are low quality pics!!
those pics do not even show how sweet it will look on pc

Man, I cannot wait for this game!!

[Pandamobile]

640 x 480 cellphone pictures of a magazine won't do justice to any game.

[Shackdaddy836]

Doesn't look the same on my computer dx11 everything maxed...

[awi5951]

No it doesnt dont lie i have 3 graphics cards in my rig and bad company 2 doesnt look that good at all.

[Kon]

I'm really looking forward to this game. It will be one of the best multiplayer games ever.

[aviator189]

Call of duty is going to drown now...
Whoop!
These screens look spectacular!

[BX81]

Right now I'm stuck on the fence between mehhh and like! I hope dice learned from BFBC2 we want all game modes in box, Map packs and good support! BFBC2 could have killed COD but they just didn't do it right. The single player was awesome for me but the MP could have been done better.

[aviator189]

You're joking, right?

I thought it was the other way around...awesome multi-player with a weak campaign.

[Ascalon94]

your are right the campaign was fun but nothing special.

[Kon]

It is the other way. SP wasn't too good, but the multiplayer was excellent.

[Big_Dom]

Are you on glue or what? MP wasn't done right? BC2 was all about the MP like every other BF game before it. In fact, the single player didn't even need to be there and probably shouldn't have been there.

[BX81]

It wasn't the best done MP. Yes it was fun but lets be honest did you enjoy minimal maps with little choice in game modes? I didn't. The single player wasn't a big production but I thought it was great to listen to the things each one had to say.

[Lich120]

Ill agree that the multiplayer wasn't that solid. There were a lot of good things going for it, but compared to BF2 the multiplayer was pretty weak.

That said, it wasn't the true sequel to BF2 so I guess I shouldn't expect it to be. This however is, and I do have faith that they will make it as awesome as BF2 was when it came out.

[SSKILLZ]

Omg !!! This is what I need !

[Nightshadow]

Woah! I had a slice of bread at the start of this article... at the end of the article it was toast. So hot, I can't wait!

I don't think console gamers should complain about the smaller size multiplayer when the game looks this good!

PC still pwns you all ;) The first screenie says it all "Power to the PC Players".

[Mafia2200]

Reminds me of MoH........................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ....... in a good way

[SJPFTW]

call of duty who?

[xxxxxxxxxx1]

Phhhhhhhhst! What is that sound? Oh it's COD pooping itself.

[tdrules]

Medal of Honor UI *cringe*

[VenomProject]

^This

They seriously need to change the UI.

[xxxxxxxxxx1]

Man (tdrules & VenomProject) you're the type of guys who have the HOTTEST pussy in front of you and say ''aww I don't like her personality"... Aren't you? Just run away and talk about ui while you suck each others toes!

Topic: The KING is BACK!

[tdrules]

you sound rapey

[Pandamobile]

Maybe the Medal of Honor UI was actually the BF3 UI all along and we just didn't know it ;)

[Surfaced]

tdrules, I completely agree. I loved the BF2 HUD and while I understand it was more PC-centric, even the Bad Company 1 HUD was pretty good. The bright LED colors of the MoH/BC2 HUD annoy me because they are too distracting.

[theEx1Le]

Play hardcore mode in BC2, problem = solved!
On topic: I really can't wait for this game, Pc version first for me, then perhaps the ps3 version down the line :D

[MoreRPG]

best shooter of the year

[chak_]

correction : of the decade.

I simply cannot wait, I wish cryogenisation would exist

[Sarevok]

Oh, I'm sorry did you play it already?

[MoreRPG]

best shooter of the year if you dont like what i said hit the disagree bottom

[BigKev45]

Dam, I can't wait for this!!!!!!!! Jizz everywhere!

[creamsoda]

Awesome I miss the big huge maps from the BF series they were so damn fun.

[frostypants]

Why don't you play BF2 anymore, then? Lots of people still do. It's still fun.

[red2tango]

omg i can't wait. i hope the ps3 version will be half as good because i dont play on my pc anymore.

[Psychotica]

Really sucks that we have to wait so long to play it....

[nano88]

damn it look mad ill im getting it

[GhettoGeneral]

WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE KILLZONE 3 ? lol but it's cool

[Surfaced]

How can you think this game looks like Kz3 at all?
What are you seeing that we aren't?

[Ascalon94]

........... do you even know what KZ3 looks like?

[x800]

I am going to buy the beta key on ebay or some where to play it HELL :)

[DEADEND]

I just reserved it last night on amazon and I'm really excited to see where this game is headed. I really like the fact there are scopes.

[ATiElite]

Bash and hate all you want buh buh buh..... BOW DOWN!! The King is back!!

Is this real or is this DX11? This is the power of PC GAMING!! (dam i wish i would of bought MOH i gotta get into this beta)

[Lich120]

How is DX11 not real?

[frostypants]

The power of SOME PCs, at least. =)

[Surfaced]

It does look amazing, I'm totally satisfied with the graphics they are rendering.

However as a BF2 (PC) veteran I am growing weary of the HUD. We had the same thing in BC2 and Medal of Honor. The saying is "don't fix what isn't broken", but I think the bright contrasting colors are very intrusive.

Anyone else have this minor complaint?

[Gran Touring]

I think it looks fine, but I honestly wouldn't mind if they changed the HUD around... So long as it displays everything you need to know yet isn't cluttered

[ATiElite]

If your playing BF on PC you can always edit the Hud either in console ~ or in the file.

[Xfanboy]

F@CK CALL OF POOPY: MODERN BOREFARE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-that is all...

ok on topic: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Sarevok]

You can f bomb mw3 all you like, but in the end mw3 will out sell this game 4-1.

It's sad but true.

[Vermillion]

Battlefield 3 won't run on a 32-bit OS and XP so I'm not surprised if it can't beat CoD in sales/player number on PC. Cool of them to push boundaries though, kudos to them!

Consoles though! I'm betting on Battlefield.

[Styxoric]

Very neat.

[GrumpyVeteran]

WOW

That's what I actually said

WOW JUST FUCKING WOW

IT LOOKS AWESOME.

[damnyouretall]

dang that looks good. sure its the pc though. i hope the console versions are atleast close to this. im so done with cod.

[xiorath]

too bad the console version will only look half as good LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

[damnyouretall]

yeah i know, but if they can get it somewhat close,,im down with that. gonna get it anyways.

[Big_Dom]

Gotta laugh at these nutjobs who are even daring to comapare this game to KZ3 visually. Yes, a modern, DX11 state of the art GPU PC powering an engine on medium settings (nevermind maxed out) that would cripple a PS3 and a 360 combined is going to be on par with tech from 6 years ago. There's some fucking right morons out there. BTW, I dare say that the FB 2.0 engine on the consoles would have most engines in any other console shooter for breakfast, so that's that argument blown out the window.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

Your naive if you think it really will look as good as that.

[Pandamobile]

You're naive if you think the console version will look like that.

These screenshots are coming from some version of the game, and I'm guessing it's not the 360 or PS3.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

Your past naive......infact you have passed by the moron sign on your way to "PC fanboy city".

When did i once say it was on either 360 or PS3 you assuming fantard?

CLEARLY when I say something...still with me or do you need to ramp up that wheelchair a little closer to your desk and clean the dribble off your shirt?

When I say something general I mean it generally, that meaning you mongaloid I dont think it will look as good as the screenshots, what game EVER has?

and yes im enjoying living with my multitude of consoles and my gaming PC while you sit there hugging your cold PC tower in your dank little existence.

Heres a picture whcih sums up my opinion of you just incase you feel like offering a try hard reply.

[Ashriel]

that reply didn't make any sense

at all.

[Pandamobile]

"When I say something general I mean it generally, that meaning you mongaloid I dont think it will look as good as the screenshots, what game EVER has? "

Just about every PC game. Unless it's an obvious CGI screenshot, what you see in screenshots is what you tend to get with the final build.

Thanks for coming out Markus, it's been fun.

[Arnon]

That was quite possibly one of the most broken... things... I've ever read.

[DelbertGrady]

Don't worry. It's probably just another Killzone fanboy having a nervous breakdown.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

I love the douchebag nerd brigade that all hump each other on this website, just because i said the game WONT look as good as screenshots in a magazine which IT WILL NOT and killzone fanboy? yeah your another assuming prick, the game is awful I have the beta and it looks great graphically but plays like COD with slow movements.

Assumpimg pretentious PC gamers that think they are somehow above everyone, despite having one myself the general community of you are try hard nerds who revell in proving people wrong or trying to make yourselves look more relevant in any argument your in.

[Tehdaza]

u mad.

[Arnon]

TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOL

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[JazzHands]

I agree. it will look even better*!

seriously though, I'm not sure what game images you're looking at, the ones I look at are generally pretty close to the images, usually even better :S

*on PC that is ;)

[hoops]

It will look like this...on the PC.
Remember Metro 2033 pictures before it was released? The game looked like that...ON THE PC.
Now the Xbox360 version...well that looked like ass and the pics they used for showcasing the Xbox360 version of Metro 2033 before release was....the PC version.

[ZeroX9876]

love to see that BF3 will be available on home consoles, but for the REAL war experience with lots of soldiers and massive maps, PC version is the way to go! 64 players VS 24 players..... why would 24 players be better?

"oh yeah, less player is much better! lower resolution is always better!" typical fanboy answer.

well nope, not this time guys. PC gamers are often left out from amazing release like God of war 3, GT5, gears of war 2,halo:reach,killzone 2. But this time, it's pcs time to shine.

[gcolley]

don't waste your time with fanboys there are plenty of people here who just ignore them. 24 players are great for BC2 but this game will be designed for 64 players so 24 will be not enough. having said that, BFBC1 worked really well and that had big maps... i actually prefer it to BFBC2.
i will be playing on 360 but it will still rock, just refuse to give a shit what fanboys carry on about

[ZeroX9876]

yeah and my biggest hope is that BF3 is finally THE game to dethrone COD. Not really the same kind of gameplay, since COD is more of a one man show and BF3 is more focused on actual teamplay.

BF2 is still awesome and 2142 was good too!

happy to see that console owners like you support the game. 24 player is still very good for a console game.

Now the problem that I have right now is this freaking UBB internet cap the CRTC in Canada want to implent. Gaming will definitly be a bandwith eater. I don't think the US got a hardcore bandwith limit like we're going to have in a couple of months.

[Hufandpuf]

If you think BF3 doesn't look like this, you are crazy. http://www.behindthehype.co...

[josephayal]

Call OF Duty = overrated

Bad Company AAA+

[SJPFTW]

if DICE really cant do 64 on consoles i will be disappointed if its not at LEAST 32 people. I also want Rush back but with better objectives besides blowing up the same 2 boxes all the time

[Hufandpuf]

They need a rescue hostages mode. That would be awesome. The terrorists (Defender) holds the hostages in a building (or more) and attackers must escort them to saftey. Killing hostages results in a hefty loss of points. That would be the only game mode in BF3 i'd ever need, EVER!

[Ascalon94]

they had something like that on Counter Strike, its was pretty fun but the hostages almost always died

[GCO Gamer]

Yep, I smell a Day 1.

[SwampCroc]

Looks good... would like to hear some more information and possibly see some actual footage... a Beta would be cool.. Beta's definitely help in the process of debugging and everything... I never actually have participated in a Beta before though...

I kind of feel like if I played the Beta before the actual game... that by the time the game came out I wouldn't have as much interest... I dunno I just can't game for like 10 hour sessions like I used to. Nowaday it's play for a little bit and then something always comes up and you have to continue later...

[akatsuky67]

yesss now activision its gonna meet a game that its gonna drag there cheap @sses around all the industries . goooooo battlefield 3 kick some activision @SS

[Clarence]

Two of this gen best FPS in the same year KZ3 and BFBC3

[BLAKHOODe]

Battlefield 3 is NOT Battlefield: Bad Company 3, but I get what you're saying.

[Hufandpuf]

Go do some research Clarence

[ME1989]

Holy shit...

[BLAKHOODe]

Battlefield 3 is my third most anticipated game of 2011.. right behind Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City. Can't wait!

[xVeZx]

definitely not going to skip mw3 even though black ops is complete garbage im just gonna get both....

[madara0sama]

Battlefield 3 and Skyrim is all I want this year. The rest are just crap to fill the gap.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[jocomat9]

Battlefield 3 is all i need!!

[younglj01]

If these scans are true then I have to say shooter of tha year.Yes I have seen and played KZ3 beta and it looks beautiful and tha snow is just crazy.I love throwing my grenade in tha snow.

If EA really want to crush Activision and tha Call of Duty brand.Release Battlefield 3 on just tha PC and PS3.And tha reason I say this is because Call of Duty owns on tha 360.No1 can deny that COD franchise sold better on tha 360.

Think about all of tha PS3 and PC owners that is pissed about how Black ops was on their consoles.If you brought beautiful graphics on both consoles and cross platform MP supporting 64 players.And a chance to get into tha Bad company 3 beta.

That deal alone will kill Call duty,Activision and maybe 360.Because most of tha Battlefield fans on 360 will have no choice but to buy it on PC or PS3.Most BF fans are pissed that they wasted their money on Black ops.So they going to want a new shooter later this year.

So that means AV would have to rethink thier business if they want to stay multiplatform.Because how many ppl think that tha call of duty franchise would be as popular if it was just for tha 360?

Sorry about talking about tha 360.But I had to prove a point about Activision and how they lucked up with this amazing product were ppl will buy it no matter how bad it is.

[Kevy10]

OMG, i can't wait!

[Ascalon94]

that looks like mashtur city

[Bolts]

For once, the screenshot matched the caption. Those pix do look amazing. The smoke and lighting are incredible.

[DAS692]

Buying MOH just for the beta...

[damnyouretall]

buy the limited edition version, should say bf3 beta in the top corner cause youre gonna have to find one used bro. im in the beta cause i preordered my copy of moh

[DAS692]

That's why i had to get it. I've payed MOH, and don't really care for it... too much like COD and i hate COD, but the Battlefield BETA is totally worth it.

[gypsygib]

Wow, it looks great on PC, consoles will be jaggy.

[PandaJenkins]

how sad it will be when this amazing game doesn't stop COD's success. I mean fuck just look at the quality difference between Black Ops and Bad Company 2. It is clear COD is a pile of crap now.

[GrumpyVeteran]

It does suck to think that this will still be outsold by CoD for no good reason.

COD is just gonna be re skinned and have a skybox with an outer-space texture. (i.e; CoD set in space, trying to be innovative)

[bigjclassic]

if this happens at E3 this year....

[Serinous]

looks nice indeed. but then again, it looks the same as any other modern warfare-like FPS

[cloudfights]

a little wary about the whole bbc franchise after purchasing 2 when it first came out , I at first had a pretty good fps time until i started to notice it was a broken game ,screen tearing , a weird glitch that set you back when moving forward and constant disconnections. the game could at times be enjoyable and when it did work well it was one of the best fps i've ever played ,I also purchased the vietnam package and it also had those probs as well ,here's to hoping they put out a quality game with 3 otherwise i'm not even going to bother

side note: I know all games have glitches but the ones stated were almost always there

EA Rep said back in December that they were dumping a lot of money into this game. They want to make a CoD killer and they believe BF is the only franchise that can do it. They just need to get the public to see it. Everyone knew 2K was a better basketball game, but they needed the world to notice.

Damn that look nice.....Can't wait to see the finish product .

as much as i loved Battlefield 1942, 1943 Battlefield 2 etc i dont think it will outsell CoD there are a ton of better fps out there and none of them will outsell CoD. im sorry.

On topic yes day 1 thank you EA and Dice

[gcolley]

this is not a bad thing. it will sell well enough to profit and it is DICE so it will be supported. doesn't need to outsell CoD so no need to be sorry my friend

[NexGen76]

Yeah because COD still have the hype machine behind it but give this game time & marketed right it could take some of COD market share easily.

[gcolley]

screenshots mean nothing... scans of magazines of photos of screenshots are just pointless in telling graphical quality. give me HD gameplay now!

[Ps_alm3k]

when dev are making games for three platform, they will always showcase the one that runs the best. Obviously this is for...

[xtremegamerage]

BF1942 was awesome, loved vietnam, and i loved BF2.

There is nothing like flying a heli,hardest were vietnam's.

Jets flying over, or jumping out of one and parachuting down.

If they get the core elements correct, with awesome destruction and AAA graphics. This will be a winner.

I cannot wait.

I really liked the vechicle ( if that's how you spell it ) slaugther.

There was nothing more entertaining than flying a blackhawk down inside the submarine base on hidden, and see the enemy duck for cover when they thought they were completely save 5 seconds before.

Crysis 2, Battlefield 3 and Killzone 3. All 3 will surpass COD's quality by country mile, and yet the stupid masses will flock to that broken mess -_- I don't even like FPS that much apart from KZ but I find it annoying still.

[Ace_1975]

Wow this just made me cancel my Killzone 3 pre order. Why play that with this on the way?. Killzone 3 just got Killzowned

[Sarevok]

You sir are a idiot.
Most people here have seen about 6 pics of this game, and are all like,''OMGZ BEST GAME EVERZ!!1 THIS WILL PWNED THE CODS!!1''.

BC3 looks nice but I'll wait to see if the gameplay is as good as the graphics before I start bashing other games.

[Sarevok]

LOl, and people say ps3 and xbox fanboys are bad...

PC elitist take trolling to new epic levels.

[bigjclassic]

it's 2011 aren't all games supposed to be beautiful? On topic: I hope the campaign is more interesting this time.

[Undeadwolfy]

do you think its time to cancel my KZ3 preorder and set a preorder for battlefield 3?

[Shackdaddy836]

You cant muster up 60 bucks in a full year?

[hoops]

why not save up for both? Both will be great games. Why miss out if you can save for both of them

[HATE506]

So now graphics make a good game?

[wwm0nkey]

We already know BF will supply us with great gameplay and this is the sequel to BF3. something A LOT of us have been waiting for, for a very very long time.

[Der_Kommandant]

I almost feel bad for Call of Duty

[Crazyhorse]

Yes it does

[Lets-Game]

if it plays as bad as bc2 then Ill have to stick to my good old 1.6 or source.

[fatalred alarm]

bought bad company 2 today, and does anyone know how to set your controls to battlefield 2 style when flying choppers? or is it just the more "realistic" way the helicopters fly. I've only played it 1,5 hour now, but i keep crashing while i did very good in BF2

[Ethereal]

WOW.

[BABY-JEDI]

I've never gave this franchise the time that it was due. My BIG mistake. This game is a definate on my list.

[xXIGAMExX]

i hope battlefeild is good
