BF3 End game

From the game that keeps on giving

New maps are really good, only played them once each so far but they seem the best yet. Railway was the best last night.
CTF is good fun
And the best bit is the dirt bikes, they are fast and can go anywhere. If someone jumps on the back they can look and fire forward.
L3 pops a wheelie

I had forgotten it was coming out so finding it last night was a nice surprise

Sweet - runs downstairs to start the downloads

Wow the mighty MrSaffron is in the game...nice, might see you out there...won't be to hard to miss me if you do

Aha - not until next week it says. Joy of the xbox I guess.

Looks awesome. If they died that quickly on my connection I would be all over that like a rash.

But they don't.

Oh yea hehe

Whoopee Dooooooo

All be History once the mighty Playstation 4 arrives and Battlefield on consoles of today will be well and truly forgotten .

Saying that Swanny,its nice that a game released a year ago still holds your attention and i would say only Gears 3 Horde is the only game i keep coming back for after about the same time.

Lets face it most games are just a short 2 week fix and get traded and forgotten really quick,no that was a lie i still adore Far Cry 3 and have still to play the multiplayer.

Us PC users have to wait again

Blame Microsoft!

444 hours now and still enjoying it
It's great that dice haven't just given up on the game and are releasing new maps and toys. I know you have to pay for the maps but at least they are real not like the rehashed stuff put out on the MW games.

I'm in no rush for the PS4

I am I wish i could forward time until the release as its about time we had some new next generation toys to play with.

Like a kid in a sweet shop when something new on the gaming scene gets released.......Except the Nintendo Wii U that is which in my opinion is a Epic fail as Far as Nintendo are concerned and a distant memory as soon as Microsoft and Sony release there consoles.

I would even go as far as saying that Nintendo will revisit there strategy and release something on par with what both Microsoft and Sony are doing.

Even now i recon Nintendo are back at the drawing board thinking of a new console because the Nintendo Wii U has failed to take of and is living of the same reputation as the Nintendo Wii before it that has had its day,admittedly a good one at the time but motion gaming is not where its at for a hardcore gamer.

Same as if Microsoft when they hold there event rave on about there new console and Kinect 2.0........Not interested in this or anything multimedia and deals with Sky or whatever.

Why would i want to watch Sky on a xbox in the first place when i most of us have a Sky hd box there under the television,same for Love Film ,Netflix and all the rest of the stuff,to me a complete waste of time and Microsoft need to focus on what they did well on originally .......Games and not all this Media content.

The multimedia on games consoles makes sense for those who have just a monitor in their room, which suits the teenager/student market

No, I blame Sony...

The probably will after 1 more patch though...

There already seems to be fewer UK servers around...

I blame Sony for following Microsoft's lead. But it started with COD on the Xbox, so I still blame Microsoft......

I personally can't see how platform specific timed DLC (or whatever you want to call it) makes somebody buy one platform over another, it's just commercial brinkmanship. It doesn't promote avid gaming, whatever your chosen platform.

Microsoft started it with there timed exclusive stuff and Sony started paying publisher also and started playing catchup.

Would not surprise me if this gets even more ridiculous when the next gen arrives.

Well if you have both consoles mate and you love a particular game like Cod Originally before it became what it is then its a no brainer to choose the console that has the downloadable content first for that particular game.

Not only did Microsoft have all the Cod map packs first they also had the better version of the game with the Playstation nearly always getting the short straw because of its cell processor and the fact most did not know how to get the best out of the machine.

Now Sony has wised up with the new specs for the upcoming Playstation 4 and this will not happen in the future as its a lot more user friendly and Microsoft i don't think will beat it.

I actually think this time around there will be no real reason to own both consoles after seeing Sonys presentation and the fact that rumours abound Microsoft will not be able to match it and the fact that Microsoft have sort of gone of track and lost the plot regarding new games and exclusives new ips and concentrated on media stuff .

Be interesting to see what they come up with in April...

Already pre ordered mine.

Me to but not from Game ......And no deposit required

Makes me laugh actually as there is no European confirmed release date and No price Quoted from Sony,my store and you know the one has listed it at £399 but obviously this can go up or down.

What price you been quoted Swanny and have you gone to Game after all there recent problems.

No, you should blame Atari for releasing Pong!

I haven't even looked, really not bothered about it as it's a long way off
I'll only get one when my mates get one, until then I'm happy to stick with my trusty PS3 and BF3

Sorry matey it was mrnelster who ordered one and not you............Which is kind of surprising as he is normally 2 decades behind everybody else when it comes to playing games and new consoles.

You know where from, brummy me lad.

And I've got £1.87 worth of points to use. How do ya like dem apples? Huh? Huh?

Kind of worrying you know I'm a Brummy at heart,think i got a voucher from my Sainsbury shopping worth 3 times that amount.

Anyway whats next on your gaming list........And don't say Wave race 64 on the N64.

I got 2 more for march .....Gears Judgment in 2 weeks and 4 days later bioshock infinite.

And hopefully at the end of the year I'm going to give you a real whooping on our new toys........ because you know you chickened out when i invited you for a game about 6 months ago.

Said you had to do the ironing or something and cook the tea

Anyway of topic i just got quoted £900 for a middle and back section exhaust on my car........Thats 2 Playstation 4s and a couple of games.

Thank god for the nissan Forums and the fact i can have a custom built one in stainless for half the money ....Sorted.

....ironing.....cooking.....

No,no! You must have misheard me. I said I needed to iron out a little problem I was having in the Middle East, that may require cooking a few grenades.

I'm not decided yet mate to be honest. As funds are always tight this end, I'm thinking about what the cost of the PS4 might be and will probably now only buy one game before the summer. I'm sure I would have really enjoyed Tomb Raider, but with only one purchase I think it is going to have to be BioShock Infinite. And considering that may mean The Last of Us being put on the back burner for a while, you can see how intrigued I am by Infinite. I don't think I've ever played a game that had such a profound story, so I'm intrigued by where it will go next.

I've downloaded Bioshock 2 free of charge from Playstation Plus but haven't had the chance to play it yet and to be honest I probably won't. One version of Infinite comes with the original Bioshock as DLC so I'm pretty confident not playing the sequel isn't a big issue.

I never finished Bioshock 2. It was ok but not as good as 1

As Swanny says, Bioshock 2 is not as good as the first. In my view (and old man Time's), it was a poor sequel, especially storywise. The first was a masterpiece in comparison.

So, my own expectation for BioInfinite, asides from it looking great visually, are not high regarding story but what a setting, eh? Yeah. The original was original and a very hard act to follow. I totally doubt it will be matched that way at all. Still could be a great game, just not in the same vein as Bio1.

After reading this I got the feeling the story will not disappoint

Yeah, I have a feeling you might just be right. Shame it's rated M for mature though. Some of the fellas here won't be able to play. Right mate?

I'll get me brummy mate to buy me a copy (and ten fags while he's at it)

5 park Drive tipped.......

Behave, you ain't that old. Anyway, I had you down as more of a Silk Cut type of guy?

With my George raft dressing gown on and cravat,oh yes me laddy i do remember 5 park drive tipped and i am an ancient gamer

Woodbines all the way

Did you buy 6 packets a day then?

School thing at the time in the early 70s........The norm was 5 park drive and a book of matches or 10 number 6 tipped when we were rich.

I used to get about £2 a week of a paper-round and the same for a 5-6 job and all day saturday at the local greengrocers .......Sort of Open all Hours scenario but i don't look like Ronnie barker more like Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt my foot.....I can imagine you in a shop, only with a moustache.

Thats it no birthday present for you of me this year,actually looking at the video i see many similarities only the shop keeper looks younger.

It wasn't the shopkeeper I was referring too!

CTF mode - hmmm. Its okay, but that's about it. Tanks should have been removed as they just hang around the flag. Probably one of the many modes that end up being played only for the assignments and then forgotten about (much like Gun Master and Scavanger)

Air Superiority - Great way of levelling up the jet. Just a shame that DICE makes controlling it so hard.

Edited by deleted (Wed 13-Mar-13 12:52:28)

CTF needs the tanks as its the only safe way to go in and get a flag, bikes while fast offer little protection and could do with being put on the armoured kill maps instead of the quad bikes.

Gun Master and Scavenger are both good as they force people to use different guns, so many people use the same weapons day in day out etc.

Air Superiority will be interesting to see how long it stays popular as tank superiority was not that popular but overall it will be people flying into each other, though funny how some server owners are putting up 64 players when their are only 24 jets for 12v12.
Jet controls are fine, plenty of videos on youtube how to fly though against a decent jet piolt that can dog fight you mostly die.

Tanks could be used like that, but so far everyone just keeps them next to the flag...

Jet controls are awful, plus there are two serious problems with it : The automatic switch to 3rd person version is so irritating. Plus, go high enough and you loose all control of the jet (you cant do anything with it - and it doesn't move).

I don't see many people playing either mode much after a few days - much like Gun Master and Scavenger.

Yea I got stuck somewhere in the twilight zone while in a jet :/

The maps have different high ceilings about 900m/1000/ and 1100 so if your playing the back to karkand maps you will see the F35's go the ceiling as they can hover and kill the russian jet.

The switch to third person view is up to the user on PC, so maybe you have something selected in options prehaps?

BF1942 was the best for flying high. You could go up into the exosphere if you wanted, higher than Felix Baumgartner even. Took flipping ages to come back down though, even without pulling your 'chute. Them were the days.

Nothing in the options about it about auto changing, unless it is misreading the joypad as a keyboard...

Hey wake up and get out of this BF3 thread

Aw bless, the old codger's fallen asleep again. Somebody gave him his ovaltine too early.

And I think Thursday's Darby and Joan night in his OAP home.
Too much for him to cope with all in one day

No Thursday night is Bingo Night......Battlefield 3.............33

Pleased to announce that I'm now a Level 70 Colonel - go me!

Nice one
I made it to level 40 last night. Only 60 more to go to get to 100 :/
That ain't going to happen before BF4 comes out

Mind you I've only been playing BF3 for 450 hours. Maybe if I try really hard I could get there.....
Ah but it's summer time now so not much gaming

Is it? It's feckin' freezin' out there man.

Someone needs to turn the thermostat to 'summer' before we can call it summer. Brr.

I don't know what level I currently am but I've been playing for less than 30 hours or something, plus I generally suck so it's gonna take me 10 times longer to level up. Yeah, just checked and it's 30 hours 2 mins, rank 21. About 200 years till I get to level 40 especially with BF4 on the way.

Thanks!

I had hoped to reach 100 by the middle of this year, but due to the time spent completing other games, meant that target has slipped a bit..

It's great! One of the best DLCs. But I'm more excited by BF4 - it'll be huge!

Welcome Thrree to the gaming forums,keep posting we like the feedback and the more the merrier

Map, gameplay or level size - or are you referring to the initial number of bugs ?

I don't see any point in BF4 as it's seems to similar to the current one (which still needs updates for it).

So more like a bumper DLC roll-up package then?
