Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

Ive never been so excited for a Single Player campaign in a while. This looks extra crispy.
 
I am really bummed about the dreadful map design I have seen thus far. Its beyond pathetic.

It really is.

It's clear these maps are designed with 24 player Rush in mind and for PC players they just throw in an extra flag or two and call it Conquest 64. Embarrassing.

wtb new level designers.
 
With so many people without a job it would be a crumbum thing to do. But oh well, to each there own.

So your saying the 100 hours of vacation I built up i shouldnt use because it would a crumbum thing to do because other people dont have jobs?

How the fuck is that my problem? I earn my vacation to use however I want...

Well that's another thing entirely, my apologies.
 
i get 3 weeks of vacation per year, one is devoted to a geek-week and the other two are with the misses. i'm taking a half day on tues and then the rest of the week off. i'm hoping by the time i get home at noon on tues most of the 'launch day server jitters' will be worked out.

Wow, if BF3 map designers are so terrible, I can't wait to see the earth-shatteringly amazing levels you will soon be releasing. I'm sure they'll be the Sistine Chapel of FPS MP maps.

You are right, who am I the PAYING customer to express displeasure with the product. How silly of me...

The maps suck because the 64 player PC maps are the exact same as the 24 player console maps. Exact same playable size, with an extra flag (or two possibly). From all the leaked footage Caspian Border has the LEAST clustered/linear map design and it wasn't exactly a masterpiece.

It's not his job to create maps. Just like you don't have to know how to sing well to not like a song.

Well, if they release the mod tools, I want to see some maps birth from his crying ass. Its a fucking game..... not HEAVEN, deal with it people or cancel that fucking pre-order like I didn't do.
 
Hehe - Do the people poo pooing the maps crack a smile or cry a tear after an 8-hour MP marathon on those very same poo maps? :D

You know you'll play it and love it. :D

I will release amazing levels with the mod tools included with this "PC first" game.

Oh wait........
 
I don't understand the whining in here. If you hate the game so much, why the hell waste more time continuing to post in here?
 
The only thing I hate is that I cannot have my BF3 name be the same dam thing as my BFBC2 name due to the horrible EAID and persona's making names invalid.

That's by far the worst part of the whole ea / origin crossover.
 
In either method you can only change your name to one that isn't taken, which isn't the complaint. Neither enable you to change your eaid to one of your existing personas, which is retarded.
 
Nope.. and I don't know if that will ever change. It's a fail design tbh but we'll see if they can incorporate features that were 2nd nature 15 years ago :p

Yep, that's the problem,

For people that don't understand and just link the Origin ID changer:


Lets say my EAID is "BOBSMITH", and under that ID my battlefield persona (From BFBC2) is "GUNSHOOTER". In BF3 currently my name shows as "BOBSMITH", and because I used "GUNSHOOTER" as a EAID sub persona for BFBC2, now "GUNSHOOTER" is taken and the Origin re-namer won't work.

EA's nestled all the account names in the same eligibility filter as the EAID / Origin account name, which is retarded. Anyone that had a name in BFBC2 will not be able to use the same name as it currently stands.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...
 
Who gives a flyin' fuck about retarded game names.......you guys will bitch about anything.

I can't wait 'till tomorrow mornin', I'm gonna t-bag you all LMAO :)

I didn't find that the case during the beta.
 
So convince me to get it. I mean, I can say I do adore the graphics and sound, but I want to know if you can change squads while in game, able to actually change keybindings without it screwing up, able to join with a party and not be put on separate places and so on? Did they/would they tone down the flashlight?

1. flashlight, most likely will be there and be a pain in the ass.
lot of kids gonna run and flash those in your own team.

Oh wait........

You can be safely assured that if DICE ever did release mod tools, which they wont (the lure to DLC moniezzzz is too strong), the community would pump out truck loads of maps superior to any of the cluster fuck versions that are going to ship with the retail release.
