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

[QUOTE=chonks;30342339]Another tidbit, shooting doesn't produce hitmarkers when you hipfire.[/QUOTE] Oops scratch that, I meant that it ONLY produces hitmarkers when you hipfire. Which kind of sucks.

I wish they would just completely remove hit-markers, they are pointless and break immersion.

[QUOTE=DaMastez;30408862]I wish they would just completely remove hit-markers, they are pointless and break immersion.[/QUOTE] If they have decent hit boxes they wouldn't need them. They can make using smoke as cover obsolete unfortunately. Also should make sniping harder, which I'm never against.

I'm really indifferent about hit markers, though I will say that seeing that half or full circle pop out feels just as good as hearing the crit headshot sound in TF2

[QUOTE=Eggy;30408938]If they have decent hit boxes they wouldn't need them. They can make using smoke as cover obsolete unfortunately. Also should make sniping harder, which I'm never against.[/QUOTE] Would be good if they removed hit-markers if you can't see the enemy

Where are you guys all preordering from? Origin or retail? Honestly I don't know when to preorder. I'd like to avoid origin as much as possible, and add this to my steam account, but with origin directly competing with steam, I'm starting to think it might not get released on steam. No news on this, are there?

If EA is retarded enough to not release their latest AAA title on the most popular digital distribution platform, then fuck 'em.

I ordered mine off of D2D when it was 25% off and I'll just enter the CD-key into Steam/Origin.

[QUOTE=Kurodragon;30409404]I ordered mine off of D2D when it was 25% off and I'll just enter the CD-key into Steam/Origin.[/QUOTE] Will that work? It didn't work with BC2.

I hope you could add Origin bought games to non-steam games

Just got 2 combat excellences in one squad death match :smug:

every time i play BC2 i only play for around 30 minutes or so before i get bored and stop, i dunno why really, i really liked BC1 and would play it for hours on end, but BC2 is really boring to me, i think i've only gotten around 60 hours of gameplay out of it part of it is that even on low i get around 10-20 FPS if i'm lucky, so it's nearly un-playable, sucks too because before the last patch i was getting around 25-30 on low/medium [editline]12th June 2011[/editline] plus, hardcore shotgun sniping

Guessing most people here never played it though since it was only on consoles.

I found I didn't play a lot of BC2 until upgrading my computer, it's not much fun to play at low FPS.

Guessing most people here never played it though since it was only on consoles.[/QUOTE]BC1 had a much better single player because it didn't take itself seriously unlike BC2's "hurr we should copy MW2"

ya i really hated how they didn't continue the storyline, the main bad guy was still alive at the end and they drove off with a truck full of gold, the sequel to that storyline could only be even more hilarious

I loved the humour in the first BC, I don't understand why they didn't continue with the characters being amusing instead of cheesy. Though I did enjoy how they pulled the piss out of CoD MW2 a couple of times in BC2.

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;30410087]BC1 had a much better single player because it didn't take itself seriously unlike BC2's "hurr we should copy MW2"[/QUOTE] Wasn't the whole point of BC2 sp was to be a satirical take on MW2's sp. That's how I thought of it while playing it.

I like how they changed Haggard from a hilarious one man comedy team into a grizzled war vet who had one funny line at the end.

Fucking pre-order exclusives. Those weapons better be unlockable through playing.

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;30410087]BC1 had a much better single player because it didn't take itself seriously unlike BC2's "hurr we should copy MW2"[/QUOTE] I thought the multiplayer was better, too. The maps were unquestionably better, and I personally liked the game much more without a bunch of silly attachments/perks/etc. Also, golfcarts on par for the course. Probably my favorite map in any game, besides blood gulch in Halo.

[QUOTE=The_Marine;30410387]Fucking pre-order exclusives. Those weapons better be unlockable through playing.[/QUOTE] The weapons that were pre-order in bc2 were unlockable, so they most likely will.

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;30411060]I'm sorry to disappoint you[/QUOTE] Bullshit, why in the hell would they add weapons that players can't even get unless they pre-order?

only the shotgun you can get through playing

[QUOTE=PacificV2;30409324]Where are you guys all preordering from? Origin or retail? [/QUOTE] [url]http://www.ultimatumgamekeys.com/[/url] They've got some seriously cheap prices, at least 20% cheaper most of the time.

It's not like the exclusive weapons and whatnot will be game-changers. You won't be missing out on any gameplay by not getting them.

[QUOTE=killz2much;30411080]Bullshit, why in the hell would they add weapons that players can't even get unless they pre-order?[/QUOTE] Hmm, I dont know... maybe... no that would be crazy. What if they were added as an incentive to [b]FUCKING PREORDER. [/b] Dont make a big deal out of it.
