• MW3 to have Dedicated Servers

I hope they still have the party system. They should just make it like Left 4 Dead where you get in a party and it just searches dedicated servers. I honestly liked the party system in MW2.
so first they take something away, and then in a later installment re-add it and market it as a plus? interesting concept, perhaps MW3 won't have perks so they can advertise MW4 to have them.

They'd be dumb not to market it anyway, because it did tickle the interest of hardcore gamers. Even if it's suppose to be expected.

I don't play them, but for people who do buy them and don't buy the map packs I feel sorry for. At least the matchmaking system for MW2 had separate lobbies for the DLC maps. It's annoying trying to play online and get booted when the next map loads and you don't have the DLC.
[QUOTE=Reimu;31803304]Bwhahaha oh my God. BF3 is going to be one of the most overhyped games of the whole entire Fall 2011 season, and almost everyone should know that by now. Anyone who played the Alpha knows it's fucking BC2.5. EA is no better, sorry.[/QUOTE] Thank you, someone else who finds BF3 to be overly hyped due to it's graphics. Graphics don't make a game plain and simple.

[QUOTE=killz2much;31812247]It was a fucking [b]ALPHA.[/b][/QUOTE] The problem here was the core gameplay, and that isn't changing even in retail release. For an alpha build it wasn't that rough either. "it was alpha" is just a crutch for everyone to justify both things being not quite up to snuff, and brood hype that the game will be magically better. One of those is reasonable and accurate, the other is bullshit.
Well, as it turns out, BF3 doesn't have an ingame server browser. Good job EA.

For the record Battlelog was kinda clunky in the Alpha imo. Made much more sense just to do everything in-game.

I'm still probably going to buy it. Because like 90% of my friends will have it and I do actually enjoy playing multiplayer with friends and usually the campaign is decent. I understand where all the hate is coming from, but the game is just appealing to me.

[QUOTE=lukepker;31803477]Hahaha Seriously? MW2 was the most over hyped imbalanced games in history.[/QUOTE] imbalanced games can be really fun if they're imbalanced right. Unreal tournament 1's weapon damages were way too high, but everybody loved it.

I want to know what all these people who cry about CoD not changing dramatically every release were doing when DICE repackaged BC1 and relaunched it to PC at full price with a 4 hour, worse campaign.

[QUOTE=Ziron;31819638]uhh its way different because DICE cares about us via PR stunts to show they 're REAL HARDCORE TRUE PC gamers!!!!! get with the program!!!![/QUOTE] Oh man, that was great work on their part, I applaud them. Why port Bad Company 1 to PC to please those players who felt betrayed by DICE after making them who they were at the time, when they could take the game, rearrange things, put in a new, worse, shorter campaign, and then run massive attack ads against Modern Warfare 2? It didn't matter that all the guns, player models, vehicles, and mechanics were basically unchanged, because this time it was coming out on ~PC~, and DICE cares about PC players unlike that shitty Activision company. That is why the server browser didn't work for the first two weeks, and why the game has had constant network and hit detection issues for months after release. So my hat to DICE, goddamn marketing geniuses. Just goes to show that if you spend enough money to make your competitor look bad, your legion of blind and deaf fans will do the rest.
I just realized something. There's fucking SUICIDE BOMB DOGS in survival mode. What sort of cruel person straps a BOMB to a DOG
They are German shepherds so it's fine.

The sounds, units, animations, everything is the same from MW2. Hell, they added a little cutscene with humor in it. Just like the recent BF3 trailer. I give this a thumbs up for being on Steam, though. I feel sorry for those who waste a pretty good amount of money on this.
