Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

just 2 gig?

The download is going to be around 3.9GB for the Beta.

Seems people now think they were referring to km squared. So who knows?

This really isnt that big though is it ? 2km x 2km ? if you consider project reality (albeit on a less detailed map / engine, BF2) map sizes were 8km x 8km.

There was a comment from an early video about the jets being slowed down, if the maps are that small then they will need to be. F18 Super Hornet with a top speed of mach 1.8 / 612.5 metres a second would get from one end of the map to the other in 3.26 seconds

This is funny

Pretty lame considering EA essentially copied that same remote controlled vehicle into BF3.

They'll use any attempt to try and belittle COD, and yet they try and emulate it as close as possible.

The COD one is a toy RC car with a piece of C4 attached to it.

The one in Battlefield is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster-Miller_TALON

Jets clearly wont be that fast, 1 its not a sim and 2 no one would ever be able to hit them

lol you're comparing an RC car with explosive strapped on to it to the BF3 EOD bot that can repair and arm/disarm stuff.....please

 

[smogsy]

will it just auto popup on origins game list then?

Yup, so i suppose now the fact that it's remote contolled = copied?

Really hope it's not buggy. The BC2 server browser was an abomination at release, but they fixed it a while after and added filters (something which should have been available out the box).

The BF3 BETA is the first test of the actual client software. DICE will have long term support for BF3 so patches and client software updates from day one onwards.

I play with arrows! Love that it says "Key bindings" lol

 

[d_brennen]

BF3 is obviously a rip off of Wolfenstein

Yeah, I kind of realise that, it was really just to make a point that 2km x 2km really isn't a big map at all. I would go as far as to say its rather small tbh.

moh le added to origin getting wish my internet was faster 3.9 is huge for me 240-280k a sec

Hardly.

As people have said, an EOD bot can disarm, arm explosives and is used by military's. An RC-XD is a remote control car with C4 on it quite literally.

Oh, and last time I checked, COD doesn't have jets/tanks/bullet drop/destruction/recoil worth talking about. Hardly emulating it.

Erm, it still provides essentially the same gameplay element to the player.

"yay, i get to sit and drive my remote controlled toy"

EA want little gimics like this to make the game more appealing to players crossing over from the COD series.

I'm sorry but for a big company like nvidia that video is pretty lame, could have been so much nicer/exciting

You do realise bc2 had a remote controlled uav drone and that was out months before black ops? Nothing to do with emulating or copying cod.

 

[Kraven]

Question.

I am thinking about buying the game through gameplay's site as origin is a rip off.

The one on gameplay is the physical warfare pack, will this give me the karkand expansion pack and if so how will it work? Does the game dvd just know its a preordered one or will I get a pass code sent from gameplay?

Cheers.
