Question for those in the know: How much better do you think the PC version of this game be? What will the differences be? It's been a long time since I was a computer game guy so I figured I'd see what people's thoughts were.

I think it will be tons better on the PC, of course you have to have a pretty new PC to play it but as someone has already said either here or at utopia 64 man battles with artillery strikes/planes/copters/tanks etc...will be fully utilized on the PC with bigger draw distances for the graphics...consoles just cant handle ALL of that...they will surely get some of that though.
Is it worth buying a gaming rig for? probably not and the enjoyment will be quite good on the console I am sure.
Well my only reason for considering it was that I have been thinking about getting a new Desktop PC to act as sort of a "central hub" for my network and multimedia anyways. It would be hooked up to my TV & router. I thought that if I do that, I might as well make it a solid gaming computer too. I figure the two kind of go hand in hand multimedia/gaming, a computer that does gaming well should be able to do everything I need it to multimedai-wise right?Quote:

I think you would behoove yourself to play it on the PC instead of a console. Frostbite 2 (the game engine that BF3 is using) is specifically designed to take advantage of Direct X 11 and 64bit Processors (as well as multiple processors) along with the newer style GPUs to really push the graphics to the next level. Personally, I don't see how the PS3 or 360 could possibly come anywhere close to matching the PC for this game.
By the time this game comes out, I will have my 360 fixed, but I most definitely will not be playing this game on the 360 and I think anyone that could play it on the PC would be foolish not to.

A must have game this year.....
Really looking forward to this. Day 1 purchase.
I'll be buying, but if Bad Company 1 and 2 were anything to go by, I wont be playing long.
If you have a inkling you won't be playing it very long, why buy it?Quote:

While I agree with your point IOU, I don't really want 16 people talking in my ear they should though at least give me the option to hit a button to talk to everyone.
I dont really get your biased against the snipers they are nowhere near as bad as they are on COD, though they do need to make them more visible, they are too well hidden on the battlefield game, and the motion sensors are very irritating because people mass throw them out and run in places with shotguns. Overall I think the game is more balanced than most shooters out today, it just recently got to a COD irritation level when everyone realized that shoguns have a crazy range.
Is it the exact same development team for Bad Company to BF3?
Over half my games lost on Bad Company 2 were because everyone on my team was sitting back sniping. There needs to be a limit on how many people can be a sniper as that's exactly why I stopped playing the game.Quote:

I can't wait for it.
Yeah theybwill cost u a game. Its not as bad as it was when the game just came out but you are just exchanging problems.Quote:

It wouldn't be a new entry in a popular series without retailer specific pre-order bonuses. As previously revealed, all pre-orders will receive the limited edition of Battlefield 3 and, thus, the "Back to Karkand" map pack DLC, though each retailer will also have some different additional bonuses.
GameStop is offering the (timed exclusive) "Physical Warfare" DLC and PowerUp Rewards members will also snag a copy of the Prima strategy guide. Best Buy pre-orders will receive the "SPECACT Kit," a package of eight multiplayer skins. Finally, Amazon pre-orders include a pack of exclusive multiplayer dog tags.
Hmmmm I am a PowerUp Rewards member....tempting.
Agreed.Quote:

With the videos and screenshots that have emerged so far of Battlefield 3 being nothing but impressive, it's been rather hard for fans of the series to hold in their excitement. Thanks to an article in the September issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, a detail regarding the "Battlelog" feature has been confirmed for Battlefield 3.
The excerpt from the article in the September issue states, "Taking a cue from Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's incredible, persistent world Autulog feature, "Battlelog" is how Battlefield will track real-time player stats, allowing gamers to create platoons (read: clans) and socialize with others.

The article states how EA plans for the "Battlelog" feature to be entirely free, and state's that it is "currently just a web application". Over the next few weeks, we're expecting EA to announce fully how the integration works in the retail version of Battlefield 3 which is due out in October. Be sure to pick up the September issue of the Official Xbox Magazine when it hits store shelves!

Battlefield 3 will have 10 times the hardware unlocks as Bad Company 2, in an obvious ploy to keep players away from friends, family and potential mates for years to come. Battleblog #5, "Years worth of unlocks and rewards in Battlefield 3," unsurprisingly boasts a massive unlock tree for vehicles and oodles of unlocks for weapons, weapons attachments and gadgets. It also lists awards, service stars, kit tailoring options and tactical unlock details.
Battleblog #5 focuses on Battlefield 3's "play it your way" philosophy, giving players more flexibility in creating their kits and earning service stars to keep us playing well into 2013 and beyond. Just not on Steam.
I sure hope that I don't still need my MOH anymore. I traded that in quite awhile ago.
Can't wait. This is going to be the first game of the series I've ever bought/owned/played, so looking forward to playing the beta. Maybe the beta will get me to actually give multiplayer a chance.
I've owned Black Ops since the day it came out, and have literally spent a total of 5 minutes in public multiplayer since release day because the public just pisses me off with their win at all costs bullshit. MW2 ruined it for me back in August 2009, and since then, multiplayer has essentially become dead to me in every game. I'll only play Combat Training where I can set how many AI opponents and what difficulty, or I'll play with friends in CT or Private Match. That's it for me in COD anymore.
I doubt it, but maybe this will give me new hope of a "dick around with my friends in a public multiplayer" game.
The last battlefield game was good to me in the physics. If you did a long sniper shot, you needed to adjust for distance and other things. Unlock COD, put the crosshairs on em and pull. I'm def. getting this over COD.
Has anyone read anything on how many players will be allowed in the online co-op campaign mode?
This game is already a no-brainer for me, but that mode is going to be sweet! I'm guessing it's 4 players, but definite word would be nice. I feel a GCH BF3 campaign coming on. :nod:
Looking forward to getting this game.
I can't wait until you do either, considering you haven't played a shooter since Golden Eye :DQuote:

That will be a blast going through a co-op together. I'll get it release day or very close to if you guys are. Hope you changed your minutes JB, cause I can see it going crazy with NHL and this now added on top :D:D
I'm not sure how the co-op is going to work. Not sure if it's a full campaign mode, I just saw where you can do missions.Quote:
