Battlefield 3

[Ravin]

As long as I can jihad jeep, I'm happy as all fuck.

Some of the best times in BF2 was when our group of 5-6 guys would steal every jeep on Wake Island, and we basicaly patrolled the entire map. We constantly won every round, because we just all rolled to the cap point and locked it down. If the bitches tried to get the other side of the island, we were there in 30 seconds, flag capped quickly because of all the guys.

Not that I really care too much about a few extra weapons, but who gets that again? Just Gamestop, right?

If you pre-order from GameStop, you'll get it day one. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until it becomes free for everyone at a later date.

With over 20 drivable vehicles in multiplayer spread over 12 classes, you will find your personal favorite whether you prefer to fly above the battlefield or stay on solid ground. Some of the vehicle classes include armored transports, infantry fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, scout helicopters, attack helicopters, fighter jets, and attack jets. Whatever your choice, we let you fine tune almost every vehicle in Battlefield 3 to fit your play style, the current map, and the current situation.

My beef with the cod series started with MW2 when they pissed me off with the no dedicated servers thing. I played cod4 a ton but for the most part I rarely touched the vanilla gameplay of it. MW2 took that ability away and in turn thankfully i never did buy it because when I did play the MP I hated it. If you didn't have a ton of shit flying up on your screen congratulating you for walking one step you had to deal with helocopters, missles and other bs stuff.

CoD plays a lot like counterstrike which is probably my second most played game so I can't say I hate the gameplay or how it plays its just all the extra crap that gets in the way like perks and awards for getting killstreaks and such. I guess call me old fashioned but I like to play a game where you win by playing better then the other person based on your ability to play and not what perks you have that can give you a better advantage. CoD4 walked this line quite well but the later games really took away that feeling.

The battlefield series I have been playing since BF1942 came out. Whats always been the best thing about the game is just how many people you can play with and how playing with a group of 10 to 15 people that you know is a blast. The varied game play is great where you can do anything from camp and snipe on a hill to driving a tank and capping bases. I usually go engineer/anti tank myself and loved rolling with helo's in 2142. I also like how it rewards you for things but at the same time doesn't give you any extra advantage outside of showing you've just played it more. Sure there are upgrades to each kit (BF2142 was the first to implement a lot of these) but for the most part they arn't overwhelming like in the cod series and you still have to know what you're doing to use them.

The wildcard in this (for me anyways) is the new Counterstrike coming out next year. I'm honestly going to laugh when people (especially you consolers) who get it from the market and are going to say "wth is this shit so popular". I can already see people complaining about it being basic and simple, the graphics probably won't be overwhelmingly good and the gameplay really can't be any different then past games. The guns will be generic and you won't get much help in terms of add ons or perks. The game is simply awesome because of this...

well unless they fuck up and try and be like cod then i'll be mad lulz

They do have no perk game modes :noidea:

Sounding like the 360 version could be shipping on 2 discs.

http://battlefieldo.com/360-discs/

Gematsu.com reports that Battlefield 3 on the 360 will be released on two DVDs. With the News come some Images from a Japanese Blog that show a BF3 advertisement in a Japanese game shop or some magazine. Xbox players are getting eager to see some gameplay footage on the 360. To date we’ve only seen PC and Playstation3 fotoage. With the month of September now here, hopefully we will see a beta date announcement in the days to come.

“We knew Battlefield 3 would be big, but we didn’t think it’d be two-discs big. A poster for the shooter, found in what we assume is a Japanese game shop, confirms the Xbox 360 version will ship on two DVDs.”

[Prodigal Son]

The 2nd disc will probably just be a "download to Xbox" disc like Forza 3 had.

That's what I was thinking. Either that or maybe they split SP and MP up.

Wouldn't this make the most sense?

Nope. People would sell their SP disc on Ebay for 30 bux.
