Battlefield 3 v2 - Now with 900% more Battlefields - Games

Free stuff from EA? Am I dreaming?

[QUOTE=Deac;29867545]I'm all for it, as long as they don't turn characters into whacky and stupid looking people that don't look like they belong on a battlefield.[/QUOTE] Kinda like Team Fortress 2's current state. I agree though. I'm a bit skeptical about character customization, since in the majority of games I've played, it goes too far and ends up being a costume party.

just like TF2 is now

[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;29903643]just like TF2 is now[/QUOTE] Yeah. The visuals are a mess, but the game's aright.

I never owned it, but I know it's been ruined now

Does Steam auto install BF2 patches or do I have to download it from an external site?

[QUOTE=lunarwalrus;29904268]Does Steam auto install BF2 patches or do I have to download it from an external site?[/QUOTE] Steam auto-updates and installs all the patches for you. Worth the purchase in itself.

I hope there's no character customization or different models for each class. The one thing I liked about Bad Company 2 is that it was like Team Fortress 2 with its character design, in that you could easily identify which team and what class the player was just by glancing at them because each model has their own unique features.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;29903518]Free stuff from EA? Am I dreaming?[/QUOTE] A friend of mine complained to ea that he lost his CD key one time and they sent him a new one then he found his old one so now he has 2 BF2 cd keys.

Wake island is going to be in BF3 in the back to karkand pack! [img]http://i.imgur.com/4kVD1.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;29909282]Wake island is going to be in BF3 in the back to karkand pack! [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/4kVD1.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] You can get it free with preorders

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;29909282]Wake island is going to be in BF3 in the back to karkand pack! [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/4kVD1.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] The maps coming in the Back to Karkand pack were mention in last weeks blog post. Also I hope that they don't change Wake Island too much. The concept art looks far too different for my liking.

The rough map overlay of Wake Island is still there, only a few buildings here and there blown up :smile:

[QUOTE=DTKT;29909795]It looks somewhat similar. I'm unsure about the carrier though. Is it beached?[/QUOTE] WHO THE FUCK BEACHED THE CARRIER GOD DAMMIT

Can't wait to bomb the shit out of the carrier :allears: [editline]18th May 2011[/editline] Assuming it is considered a building and thus can be blown up...

Did some alpha version just leaked? [editline]18th May 2011[/editline] It's all over usenet all of a sudden.

Maybe they decided to make the map 1:1 scale (I'm not sure if it was before)

If you pre-order, does it come as the limited edition with the extra maps?

[QUOTE=Djessey;29909910]Did some alpha version just leaked? [editline]18th May 2011[/editline] It's all over usenet all of a sudden.[/QUOTE] What is? As in, what information is going around? [editline]18th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=cyanidem;29910081]If you pre-order, does it come as the limited edition with the extra maps?[/QUOTE] Yes.

Do you have to pre-order from EA or will any site do? Because I pre-ordered from D2D when it was $45.

You can pre-order a physical copy, right?

[QUOTE=Kurodragon;29910729]Do you have to pre-order from EA or will any site do? Because I pre-ordered from D2D when it was $45.[/QUOTE] It will be activated in the EA Download manager. You can pre-order a physical copy at Gamespot/Best Buy etc.

[QUOTE=Cree8ive;29909725]The rough map overlay of Wake Island is still there, only a few buildings here and there blown up :smile:[/QUOTE] I was mainly thinking about how flat it is. Also the scale in that concept art looks all wrong(compare the jet's size to one of the buildings) If most the buildings are to the correct scale it means the island will be a lot thicker than previously. Also I hope they keep the carrier as the USMC uncap. I also hope they bring back the small island with boats which was also a spawn point.

The Karkand drawing looked nothing similar like the areas in Strike at Karkand forexample.

Fucking hell, why do they make the best maps a preorder bonus?

[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;29912995]Fucking hell, why do they make the best maps a preorder [b]bonus[/b]?[/QUOTE] Hmm...

Have we seen any of the new maps?

If i pre-order the limited edition for PC, and then later on decide to buy it on Xbox/PS3 aswell, will i have access to the Bonus content from the PC version on the console if i use the same EA account?

I wonder how DICE is going to handle destruction 2.0 with BF3. I hope it's a bit more dynamic than BC2.
