GameServers released their server pricing, 64 players $83.15/mo. That's not bad at all...

Here's a funny comment from the latest trailer

When you hide behind a wall in COD you get a nuke.. When you hide behind a wall in Battlefield, that wall gets shoved up your ass..

xbox 360 gameplay

WTF

[Redlum08]

Wow, EPIC Fail....EA really screwed over Microsoft on this one...the game looks like crap...mind you the vid is low res, but still.... WTF is right... shows that EA hasn't covered all its bases on the console end of things, and the game is due next month...

The problem is the MASSIVELY BLATANT lack of shadows! the frames and physics are all well and good but without the dynamic lighting... well you get THIS! This BETTER BE a 1 year OLD pre-alpha leak because if this is what the consoles have to look forward to then... they might as well just release it on PC only and salt in the sales department.

For those that want to jump on the PS3 bandwagon, keep in mind that from a power perspective the PS3 is MARGINALLY faster than the 360 and only in the CPU department. The GPU in the 360 is better than the PS3 (for those that remember it's X1900 based vs 7900 based).

As for the PC elitist that gonna hate (naturally) just keep in mind that without the console sales yal ain't gonna see a sequel, so to put it BLUNTLY you NEED the console don't EVEN fool yourself. But if this is what we can expect, then EA better bend over and prepare the KY cause the console gamers ain't gonna sit down for that ish.

LOL @ Notnice depictions, but seriously though, from a business standpoint, EA is doing rubbish if they are catering to just the PC "Elite". When sales of Battlefield 3 pale in comparison to games like MW3, who suffers in the end? ALL Gamers. Why? Because the cost of making the game vs. the profits from the game will be severely skewed and DICE will have to lay-off some people just to make the next BF game...Beautiful graphics is not everything, the gaming experience on a whole is...but when devs and publishers start to focus on the minority of their market share, that's just dumb business.

How many Pre-orders does EA have for BF3? compared to MW3? How many people have been fired at EA compared to Activision, basic economics will tell you that the Hype of BF3, is just that, "Hype". In the long run, whoever makes the most money, has the resources to devote to making MORE games.

How is Activision able to bring out a Call of Duty every year? Simple...its catering to all platforms, Consoles being the largest sales generator. But yea, as EA continues to burn the console bridges and focus on the few PC "Elite" then we'll see what happens with the BF franchise...

IMO

picture time is it?




bear in mind we have been down this road many many times, yall got many inferior ports to popular games yet one of the few superior games yall up in arms over? makes no sense to me.

as for the actual game itself i still have not seen anything overly impressive other than pretty colours, nothing there wows me yet its more like......meh been there done that same as cod.

PS: would be interesting to see the PC sales of this game when its released and see if PC ppl still like the pic above lol.

Lets not bring that bf3 vs cod talk here because they are both different games.

The leaked xbox footage is leaked pre-aphla so let not jump the gun and start a flame war,like i just almost did lol.

[Redlum08]

Agreed "Instigator" LOL
