[ALL] Battlefield 3

[padman59]

A little info about the weapon customization:

Two weeks ago, we detailed the general design philosophy behind the gun play in Battlefield 3 together with Senior Designer Alan Kertz. Today, we are delving deeper into the thousands of weapon customization options you will have in the game.

Basically, each main weapon in the game has three accessory slots, where you can attach weapon accessories you have unlocked. Weapon accessory unlocks are received on a per weapon basis, meaning that the more time you spend with a particular weapon, the more options you will have to customize that weapon to fit different your combat role and play style.

A rifle in Battlefield 3 can be customized for wildly different combat roles. The carbine directly below has been equipped with a heavy barrel, bipod, and a 4X magnification combat scope. This would be ideal for a soldier who wants to engage targets at medium to long range and use suppressive fire to support his team mates.

In the picture above, the same carbine has instead been equipped with a suppressor, foregrip, and quick acquisition holographic scope. This setup would be well suited for Close Quarters Battle, especially indoors where stealth can be a vital factor.

The unlockable weapon accessories include an assortment of optics, suppressors, bipods, barrels, underslung grenade launchers, underslung shotguns, foregrips, flashlights, laser sights, and more.

While the class and model of your weapon will determine a number of basic values (like muzzle speed, energy, and fire rate), you can always modify it to tweak it towards anything from long range to close quarters combat.

So. Are you a long range sniper or a close quarters combat type of player? The neat thing is, in Battlefield 3, you can easily switch between both. With our powerful weapon customization features, there are no limits to the types of gameplay we support.

Yeah, I read it. Those Gamestop fucks suckered me into getting whatever it is they're peddling these days (Edge, PowerUp, ConsoleThrust...whatever it's called) and of course, it comes with them sweet Game Informer toilet mags.

I was surprised about the poll too.

Most COD fans are Dude-Bro gamers and only buy COD. People that only play one game don't usually buy gaming magazines. Hence the surprising poll.

Dude-Bro gamers also play Madden.

I'm going to name my first Tank, "Dude Bro."

We will be blaring Godsmack and Eminem as the world crumbles around us.

It will be beautiful.

Did you also happen to read the few comments they posted? I imagine you did. The first one made me die laughing when the guy praised CoD. One of the things he mentioned to defend his argument was that the CoD games had "great stories". LOL. That Dude Bro wouldn't know a good story if it hit him in the face with a three foot purple undulating dildo.

COD: MW series has a pretty good storyline. I never played BF: BC so I don't know about theirs, but I heard it's pretty lacking.

I honestly don't care about the other COD games like WaW and BO. But, you can't shit on the story writing of the MW series.

BTW, you look pretty stupid when referring to other gamers as "Dude-Bro" when you yourself fall under that stereotype.

No military shooter has a great story. Pretty much everyone gets these games to play online. Games like Black Ops and WaW had decent stories because they actually followed history somewhat.

Twigg is definitely not a a "Dude-Bro" gamer. This man plays everything lol.

I actually play games for the offline. Won't go online until I've beaten single player.

You over estimate the online community. Majority of people who buy/play the game don't even touch the online portion of a game.

Pretty good compared to what? Choose your own adventure books from third grade?

Yeah, how the fuck am I a Dude Bro gamer? It sounds like someone doesn't have a clue what that term means.

So who looks stupid again?

How many shooters and sports games have you played again? Your a self hating dude-bro. It's cool, nothing to be ashamed of.

BTW, did you even play MW2, or are you just spouting stupid shit, because of a bias you already have against the game?

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Dude-Bro gamers also play Madden.

And GTA.......excuse me, anything that Rockstar puts on the market.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Probably more than the rest of us combined...

Its hilarious to see how much of a bro gamer twigg really is but he doesn't admit it or know it.

BF3 SP definitely looks pretty sweet, but the MP seems dry again. Red Orchestra 2 will have a better MP experience, hands down. Nuclear Dawn is showing a lot of promise as well. It's a shame that these large studios have been so complacent with their online gaming while independent studios easily surpass them.

For once I'd like to see a realistic approach to online play for these mil-shooters, from a mainstream developer, or at least a more in-depth experience.

They are both boring as fuck and unless you're hardcore/part of a group who actively play them on PC, you'll be better off with an arcade shooter.

I have ArmA 2 already and like it, but I wouldn't consider them mainstream compared to cod and BF. To me if they're not going to make the games realistic, at least add some depth. A Global Agenda style clan system where you're battling for territory would be sweet in a military FPS. Instead, we're left with the same TDM and other basic shit every release.

Have you tried the Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2?
