I don't really like team deathmatch in BF3. Just so boring compared to conquest or rush.

-Alpha4602d ago (Edited 4602d ago )

I felt that way with Guerilla Warfare in Killzone 3. Class based shooters completely lose the magic when they add in a TDM mode.

I get that they want to have something for the COD crowd, but really, time would have been better spent on a new mode. I always felt that bringing back CTF would have been great, especially since it'd work perfectly for the console player count

Or they could have at least tweaked TDM a bit more.

PixL4602d ago

I stick to DM for one reason: most of the time, there aren't enough of my friends online to play Rush or Conquest as, unfortunately, we all have our lives. It requires 6+ people to have a good game when your input really counts and influences the whole game. If you get most of your squad without headsets and people who don't know what support class or medkits are for, I can't find fun in it. More so in Rush attack as you can arm objectives even alone but Conquest is really pointless with randoms.

Nevertheless, I consider team-based modes superior in BF, nothing beats the adrenaline when you blow up the last MCom with 1 ticket left.

saladthieves4602d ago

Team deathmatch is sort of boring, especially for battlefield. I rarely play it. I'm usually drowning in the goodness and awesomeness that is conquest or rush games...so much better!

JellyJelly4602d ago

I never get tired of Rush and Conquest. The teamwork and strategy needed makes it last longer than deathmatch modes imo.

Spenok4601d ago

Most definitly. I havent even touched DM yet as Rush and CQ are easily the best MP game modes there is. imo of course.

Fil1014602d ago

how big is the hd install for this and is it an optional download (PS3) ???

Spenok4601d ago

The install is 1.5GB's and its mandatory...

However, if you dont want to buy it from a store, it will soon be on the PS Store with a space requirement of only 13GB's lol.

Fil1014601d ago

lol think i'll buy hard copy plus just brought dead space 2 from the store at 11 gig and it took me about 10 hours to download

Organization XII4602d ago

TDM is a nice addition but this map on PC rapes the 360 version to the core. No kidding I have both versions!

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.

Hofstaderman16d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath216d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

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.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai21d ago

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.

Cacabunga21d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole18d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

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.

MrBaskerville19d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5221d ago

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.

Extermin8or3_21d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville19d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM21d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka20d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

"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.

Extermin8or3_21d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
