just want to go ahead and get a new pc already. The game looks more like BC2 than I was expecting, but it still looks great. hopefully playing it feels more like BF2 than BC though (the game in general, not just the player controls). unfortunately wont know that till I actually play it

I really enjoyed bc2... what didn\'t you like about it?  It didn\'t have the huge maps of bf2, but I found it to be very enjoyable.

Insane new multiplayer vid.... jets!  http://youtu.be/NDDfPxF3EFE

I loved BC2 and put a lot of time into it...but i loved it for a console game

the huge maps of bf2 make the game play feel completely different. Granted I only really played rush on BC2, it was very restricted in terms of scale with how that game mode is set up.

That and mouse and keyboard and a bigger focus on vehicles (but not so much that it takes away from normal combat)

just no comparison between the two to me, and I\'ll be wary of BF3 feeling consolized till I actually get to play it. It\'s not a coincidence that crysis 1 is completely different from crysis 2 and the second one is the one put on consoles..and thats just the most recent example (rainbow six, ghost recon to name a few more)


edit: I shouldve watched that video first..that was fucking amazing

I still wish they\'d do a commander. It was a game within a game...and the game was like an RTS but with actual people you were telling what to do and helping out instead of AI

yeah, commander mode was awesome... putting a uav here, an airstrike there.. it was great.  I didn\'t play it a ton, but when you had a good commander it made things much easier for the whole team.

Jets looked slow, but in a way they probably have to make them slower and fly somewhat low or they would utterly dominate ground forces.  People are complaning about it, but I trust DICE to hopefully make it fairly balanced.

Debating now on what GPU to upgrade to.  I have a 6870 but I\'m thinking a 6970 will run it 60+ fps at all times.  You building a new computer viper?

yea, im not totally sure where to start outside of googling "how to build a computer" lol. Havent really thought about building a computer for like 5 years..i\'ve upgraded my cpu and graphics card between now and then, but they were just patch-jobs.

it\'s hard to ask my brother for input since he spends an arm and a leg on everything. his frame of mind is "well, if im going to spend 1500 dollars, i might as well spend 2200 dollars"

hopefully I\'ll get the ambition to do proper research soon. Still have a good amount of time though since it\'s probably still too early to get a pc for bf3

any thoughts on the beta? wont be able to play it till tomorrow. I\'m not sure if the console beta comes out then, too.

I havent bought the bullet yet on the pc..playing it on this computer might speed up the process

played operation metro yesterday for a few hours... ok map.. not that great.. fell through the ground a lot, but today some select beta testers leaked the password for the caspian border 64 player servers.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT\'S AWESOME  I played it for about 2 hours straight tonight and only stopped because I have to go to bed lol

Seriously it\'s like a totally different game.. map is massive... graphics look even better.. jets, helis. tanks, jeeps, atv\'s.. you name it.  Runs better than metro does too. Word is Caspian Border will unlock tomorrow (Sept. 29th) for the open beta.  I sure hope so, I can see why people were upset at the shitty Operation Metro map.

I downloaded the beta on pc, but I have yet to really play it. for some reason, I can\'t join matches via the "quick method" and practically all the servers I tried to join, they all claimed to either be full, even when they weren\'t, or they were in the middle of changing maps

unfortunately the game doesnt support XP so I couldnt test it on pc..not that it wouldve went well since my cpu is ass and my graphics card is a 8800gt

But i played 3 rounds for an hour or so on 360

fucking great game. I heard a lot of complaints about metro but i had a lot of fun playing it. Cant even imagine adding the usual battlefield epic-scaleness on top of it.

Even though i loved it on console, it convinced me to get the pc. I\'m not missing an ounce of scale from this game. Still miffed they got rid of the commander since it was a big thing that separated battlefield from the other shooters..and a few other things like not needing to reload in jets since you get unlimited ammo (so i\'ve heard).

But..the game didnt disappoint, even with my high expectations and a map that noone likes

Actually last night I had a really good run in Operation Metro.  So my feelings towards the map have changed a bit.

I\'m very excited to see the other 7 maps... if Caspian is any indication of what\'s to come, we are in for a treat.  (also really excited to play old bf2 maps again!)

PS3/360 versions are great, not as good looking as the PC one obviously, but very very good, smooth, can\'t wait.

Got my new pc and monitor yesterday and played bf3 today

holy fucking shit. Ultra looks amazing and supposedly itll only get better since they left some textures out to make the beta download not as big as it couldve been.

Games not skipping a beat running it on ultra too, which is awesome

Kind of suck at the game since other people seem to take me down in a few bullets while it takes me most of a clip.

I tend to get buyers remorse no matter how good something is, but i am so damn glad i got this thing

I played it for about a half an hour.  I was bored.  Just not my thing.  It was nice looking though.

I agree with you completely, Caspian Border was awesome. Metro is a good rush map not too large. Caspian IMO plays better as a conquest map than it would for Rush.

Dude, are you getting it for pc?  Did you get it on origin?  If so I want to add you to my battlelog friends list (when it comes back online).
