BF3 is looking amazing. Hopefully my rig will be able to run it at a decent frame rate.

What are you basing that on? Ive looked all over and theres only the teaser trailer which doesnt show anything worthwhile :confused:

Steam only for me. So if it's >£35 I won't be getting it at all.

I'll wait till it drops to £20 if the beta is any good, it didn't take BF:BC2 long to drop in price.

This.

Also considering I probably paid £25 for BF2 all those years ago (2005?) and got many many many hours of gameplay out of it, I'd happily pay £30 or £40 for this game if it lives up to expectation.

It is the same with most items we purchase these days. The RRP is £X's only to drop in a few months to £Y's
So if BF3 starts out at £35-£40 then so be it. I would sooner start the online carnage and shooting rather than wait 3-4 months to save a tenner !
I spend that on 2 drinks in a bar on a Friday evening !

But then again it's not is it..

BF2 is quite possibly the best purchase I've ever made. Thousands of hours of fun for just £25, it doesn't get any better than that.

I wouldn't mind paying full price for BF3 if it comes anywhere near the funfactor of BF2.

panda_uk · 17 Feb 2011 at 17:08

BF2 cost me £25 plus the £300 for a new graphics card on the same day. But worth it though.

Squark · 17 Feb 2011 at 17:12

BC2 has cost me 4p per hour played, I think that's worth it.

No doubt I'll play BF3 loads too

MaxP779 · 17 Feb 2011 at 17:13

I want to get this for steam but i dunno its always a ripoff, this is something i have to play on day 1 as well.

Same, the ammount of hours ive played BF2 and BFBC2 id gladly pay £40 for a quality title. Just hope it at least matches the hype that is building, im trying not to get sucked in... but its difficult

More like £40 off steam if retail is £30,so ive saved you a fiver and you get a nice box to put on your shelf aswell.. :confused:

Will this game be compatible with the Xbox360 controller?

I'd like to game on a 32 inch at a distance if you was wondering...
