I really hope I can run it on decent settings. If Bacon asks for help in upgrading his PC before then, tell him NOT TO BEFORE BF3 min specs are revealed

Battlefield 3 Alpha impressions

50

On July 24th, 2011 in Editorial, News

Gameplay
•Feels more like Battlefield 2 than Bad Company 2. The pace is a bit quicker than in BF2, but it appears it’s because of the map and the Rush mode.
•You can now strafe run, which adds a lot more than it sounds.
•You can see your legs/feet when looking down or jumping over things. It’s not as weird as it sounds.
•No bunny hopping or dolphin diving.
•3D spotting has been revised. It feels like you need to be more accurate when spotting enemies than in Bad Company 2.
•Classes are a lot better and make more sense (Assault with med kit, Support gives out ammo).
•Everything ran very smooth at high frame rates, it gave it a bit of a “Call of Duty” feeling at times.
•The game appears to be ready for in-game advertising support (banners etc.). Although it could be just random BF3 banners posted.

Guns
•Hit detection feels much better than in Bad Company 2.
•Guns look, sound and feel differently from Bad Company 2. It’s more like BF2 than BC2.
•Muzzle flash on guns has been reduced compared to BC2, now is on par with BF2.

Audio
•Just as crisp and lifelike as in other Battlefield games. It sounds more realistic in BF3, kinda like “war tapes” in Bad Company 2.
•There’s still automated chatter from soldiers around you, including enemies (which reveals their position, like in BC2).
•No commo rose

Vehicles
•There was only one vehicle, the LAV-25 APC. Controls felt like Bad Company 2, but the cannon firing and sounds were much more realistic, as if you’re in a real APC.
•It felt like it took a few more rockets to completely destroy the LAV compared to Bad Company 2.

Graphics/destruction
•The game looks great, no way around that.
•Animations are way ahead of Bad Company 2 or any other FPS.
•Destruction feels more limited than in BC2. There are buildings you can destroy, buildings you can’t. There are walls you can destroy, and walls you can’t. There’s no real way of telling which is which.
•There is also a lot of cover that would have been destroyable in Bad Company 2, but isn’t in BF3. (UPDATE: according to some, destruction has been limited in the alpha for testing purposes, which would explain what we experienced).
•The lighting is amazing, both in doors and outdoors. Also, you can only shoot out some of the interior lights, not all.

Misc
•Award pins have been replaced by BF2-style ribbons.
•There are a bunch of new guns, like the G36C, MP7, M27.
•There are now faction specific weapons and rocket launchers.
•When M-Com stations are armed, a C4 device appears on it. When disarmed, the C4 disappears.
•100 points are given for a kill, +10 points for headshots, +30 for kill assist etc. You get 200 points for arming M-Com, another 200 for destroying it.

Overall:
•The game feels a lot more like Battlefield 2 than Bad Company 2, contrary to what many people think. It was hard to comment on pace, since it’s Rush, limited to 32 players, with tight combat areas — so pacing will naturally be fast. On open, conquest maps with 64 players, I can imagine it feels a lot more like BF2. Also, note that these impressions are for an alpha version — it’s far from a finished product

EA confirms: Battlefield 3 won’t be on Steam

On August 6th, 2011 in News

After months of wondering whether the whole debacle between Valve and EA would mean no Battlefield 3 on Steam, we’ve finally got it confirmed: EA has announced that BF3 will not be on Steam

“Gamers can pre-order Battlefield 3 at Origin.com as well as over 100 digital retailers worldwide. EA offers games to all major download services. Unfortunately, Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to deliver patches and other downloadable content. No other download service has adopted these practices.”

Steam’s terms of service were the reason why Crysis 2 was removed from the digital retailer earlier this year (later, more games were removed). Many speculated, including us, that it was simply EA trying to promote Origin, but this proved to be false, after Battlefield 3 was revealed to be available on many digital retailers across the globe.

Many gamers were waiting to pre-order Battlefield 3 until it was available on Steam, but this looks to have been a waste of time. Despite the bleak news, EA says that they are hoping to work out an agreement with Steam

Origin store it is. Might pre-order today

[ES] Entropy · « **Reply #37 on:** Sun, 07 Aug 11, 13:21 GMT+5 »

Damn that means I'll have to use Steam, GoG, Impulse, and now Origin. I hope the competition eventually leads some sort of benefit to consumers. (Sub $59.00USD new release prices, cough cough)

I love how the sights are exactly like they look IRL. Reminds me that I want to get an EOTech and also a magnifier for my Aimpoint.

I am going to have to buy a new PC. My machine is starting to struggle with the newer games so I guess it is time.

[ES] RandomHero · « **Reply #42 on:** Thu, 01 Sep 11, 13:33 GMT+5 »

I've been debating whether my i7 930 w/ GTX 470 will be alright.

System has not a single problem with anything; game, development, or otherwise; that I've thrown at it. But I'd hate to open up that shiny new game and have a stutter or not be able to run it at full setting glory.

[ES] ReCo · « **Reply #43 on:** Thu, 01 Sep 11, 15:55 GMT+5 »

i've still not got a clue about comp specs... is a dell xps 1502x any good ? and will it play cod mw3 and battlefield 3 ?? i dont wanna spend too much so... vinnie.... need your help if thats not gonna work mate.

[ES] RandomHero · « **Reply #44 on:** Fri, 02 Sep 11, 09:20 GMT+5 »

Depends on the configuration you got. Did you get the i5 or i7 model? What graphics chip did you get, NVIDIA GeForce GT525M or another option? I actually wasn't able to find much on that model ...
