this game costs too much when you consider all the upgrades most people will need to run it
im better off getting it for the xbox
Holy fuck.
Not regretting my pre-order in the slightest.
I had a feeling that most people will get it on a console. Soon after the release, DICE will decide to add 64 players on consoles.
6 days fellas...

Because that's what determines whether or not it's possible, right? :rolleyes:
I'm getting it on console mainly because I can play it with my friends who can't afford/don't need to invest more money into a gaming PC. I'm still getting an upgrade though.

They already had to make the graphics on Xbox look like ass even more than BC2. I doubt it would be possible for them to add those huge 64 player maps smoothly.

this is a good thing

Wasn't this because of bad quality on YouTube?

You think they're not adding 64 player mp on consoles because they don't want to? Oh wow.
[QUOTE=Sharker;32866395]You think they're not adding 64 player mp on consoles because they don't want to? Oh wow.[/QUOTE]
Dice just want to support on PC more than console.
[QUOTE=Sharker;32866395]You think they're not adding 64 player mp on consoles because they don't want to? Oh wow.[/QUOTE]
actually its EA not Dice.
I hope they do a better job optimizing the final version. The beta lagged like hell.
[QUOTE=falcont2t;32858521]it had problems with amd too, but come on dude, it was a beta[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Mr.Cookie;32859197]Don't be such a baby.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;32859216]So you won't preorder the game because of the beta? Pretty stupid reason if you ask me.[/QUOTE]I was blaming Nvidia not Dice, considering Nvidia endorse it like many other games you think the experience would be solid if not patched up quickly. I did pre-order it, but the fact it wasn't going to run without the same [B]graphic[/B] artefacting like those on high end rigs, launch issues like with every Dice title and them the lesser factors such as uni projects, money and time in general. I just felt that it would be a better investment at christmas or after.
So yeah, "go fuck yourself".
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;32859296]you should make sure first you have a proper spec set for the game. Seeing as you're on a mac, it will probably be a 6,000$ mac to run BF3.[/QUOTE]Its a great deal better than Vista I can assure you that. Specs are fine for it like any game. Surprised it ran at all given that my friends "gaming" pc costing over a grand couldn't get by origin.
If you pause @ 1:15, it looks a lot like the area in the grande launcher scene form MW3's SP trailer.
Just sayin'.
[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;32866405]Dice just want to support on PC more than console.[/QUOTE]Uh you do realize that the reason there isn't 64 players on console is because they aren't [B]powerful[/B] enough to handle 64, right?
[QUOTE=Killer900;32866778]Uh you do realize that the reason there isn't 64 players on console is because they aren't [B]powerful[/B] enough to handle 64, right?[/QUOTE]
How about 32 then.
[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;32866383]Wasn't this because of bad quality on YouTube?[/QUOTE]
No I played the Xbox beta as well and it really does look that bad

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;32866899]How about 32 then.[/QUOTE]
I think it could probably do that but like BC2, consoles are only doing up to 24
5 FUCKING DAYS LEFT!
I've preordered this game, and I'm looking forward to playing it, but I think some people are going to be greatly let down. I'm not saying the game is bad, I'm saying that some people have been over hyped about it.
[QUOTE=Apache249;32866193]Because that's what determines whether or not it's possible, right? :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
64 players on consoles is very possible. Relatively early PS3 games support 60 player matches (Resistance 2), with later games taking it up to 128 (MAG). There is the thing of them using entirely different engines mind :v:
The BF3 theme tune is growing on me more and more, especially the way it works so well to build up. And holy shit skydiving looks awesome.

I have waited for this game since BF2. Six years spent hyping and anticipating the game that will bring us out of the dark ages.
If Battlefield 3 does not make me want to pull down my pants and try to copulate with my CD drive, I will be disappointed.
[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;32866899]How about 32 then.[/QUOTE]They tried, but the 360 and PS3 are 5-6 years old, they just aren't powerful enough to do over 24.
[quote]If you want the same quality of game, I would say it's really, really hard. We tried to get more players in (to the console version) but then you need to scale down all the graphics, scale down all the destructibility, and sometimes you need to scale down all the map sizes. Everything is a compromise on: where do you cut?[/quote]

[quote]Everything is a compromise. It's not that we're evil or stupid. We didn't choose not to have more players - we would love to do 64 players on console but then we would have to cut away so much; people would get very upset that it looked worse, played worse and wasn't as fun as the PC version. We would never do that because the fun is always more important.
That's another reason: if we had more players (on console) you might have to take away vehicles because there's a lot of data that has to go through the network and the CPUs. If you had more vehicles, that would mean less players and vice versa.[/quote]
Sorry man, the truth sucks but, if you want more than 24 I suggest you upgrade your rig.

And saying BF3 is going to be a great let down is insulting, too pessimistic, maybe?
wish i had the 70 bucks to buy this
Saw this trailer, went to my parents and said "Welp what can I do to make money? I saw an ad for BF3 and said 'welp I need this'" and worked up 40 bucks.
Das base jumping.
My birthday is 4 days after this comes out :dance:
