Battledfield 3 has handed you one big fat gauntlet to slap you with.
Amen! BFBC2 was so much better than CoDx, and BF3 is looking amazing.
The single player tank battle vid looks amazing too.
BC2 is great fun play it now and then on the PC and picked it up cheap on the PS3 for £8.99 last week. I've played BF from early days of BF1942 the Desert Combat mod was an amazing game such great gameplay as yet unmatched.
Thing I like about the Battlefield series on PS3 is that it isn't full of whining kids/incompetent chavs. I want tactics not Rambo goddammit!
Yeah Desert Combat mod for BF1942 was the pinnacle of the multi-player combat genre for me, it's all been a but of a disappointment since (although CoD single player campaigns have always been quality).
yep, geeky old BF player from way back here. Never was much good at flying though.
Seconded - I bought a joystick and everything but just couldn't do the flying.
Bad Company was quite good - good to see a game that doesn't mind people playing as snipers.
Is BF2 worth picking up on the cheap while waiting for BF3?
I could do the flying loved it but compared to some of the others in our clan I was a novice.
DD BF2 is ok but not great Bad Company 2 uses a similar engine to what BF3 will use, better off getting that I'd say.
Roll on October 25th. Can't wait for the PC open beta too!
looks good
will hopefully have reached level 50 on bad company 2 by the time this is released, it is taking me forever!
Looking at that footage and the other ones on YouTube makes me think I should buy a PS3. Very nice.

Fixed that for ya 😉
You'll be disappointed it won't look anything like that on the PS3, this is early signs of how the 360 and PS3 are now showing their age.
drac - what clan were you in?
DC was the ultimate mod, some of the vehicles were amazing
I don't really have a PC, just a Mac Pro at home. The office PC has got the grunt to play it, but a rubbish graphics card.
It's on PS3? Tempted by a good fps.
+1 for the Desert Combat comments, put some hours into that game!
BF3 looks great, will probably be on the 360 for me as I'm not sure I've got the time to justify the hardware upgrade...
How do you play these games on a PC? Is there a controller type device or do you use a mouse and keyboard?

absolutely, 100%, mouse & keyboard.

JPnWo I still am but we're pretty much inactive now just a few of play regular and then it's not particular game.

Cool cheap and easy to sort then. 😛
s there a controller type device or do you use a mouse and keyboard?
Mouse and Keyboard is far superior.

is confused 😕
is "Battlefield" a different game to "Battlefield bad company"?

PC-specific Xbox controller does the trick (for most games). Mouse and KB might well be better for BF3 though.
is "Battlefield" a different game to "Battlefield bad company"?
Yes, the Battlefield is because it's done by the same developers using the same engines although that has changed a bit since the original 1942.
PC-specific Xbox controller does the trick (for most games).
No just no.
yes keyboard and gaming mouse all the way.
If you buy an Xbox controller for the PC version you will be utterly owned by the PC K/M combo players
BF2/3 any good single player? don't really do MP, not enough time to get good enough to play real people.
I lost years of my life plating BF1942 and Desert combat. I knew every trick in the book and could fly the blackhawk like a god 8) Made loads of freinds and often met up with them for weekends away paintballing and stuff. Alas, the level of cheating on the pc, with all the hacks available made clan warfare one big b!tch fight. It got anoying in the end as the playing field was always mared by cheats. I gave it up, bought a house, did a lot of riding and now I have an xbox which stops all the game hacking cheats. Its not as good as the pc for fps, but if you get a good bunch of mates on, its got its charms.
Bf2 does not really have a single player mode. Bf3 should though
Single player is/was just you against bots.
Ok for trying stuff out but not really worth it.
Favourite DC map anyone?
I have BF2 BC on the xbox and PC, the PC version is soooooo much better to look at.
As we had our own server we could control the cheaters and boot them. Every trick in the book ay? Could you do the plane trick on capture the flag?
I played DC, owned a house, have kids and still managed a lot of riding, the kids slowed the riding side down some what though.
Favourite map hmmm depends vehilce was El Almein and for infantry had to be Berlin.
six and half, i always used to say that, being an unreal tournament verteran from yonks ago, you get used to the controller very quickly though, and i don't think there is really much difference if any..Mouse and Keyboard is far superior

There's a huge difference in speed and accuracy in a good FPS not the ones with aided aiming.

na.
We had our own server too, but it was hard to prevent the fog of war hacks and aim bots being used even with the anto cheat software, people found ways round it. Its not so easy to kick people you suspect during a registered clan match either. Capturing the flag with a plane, yea, throttle back, bank hard, circle tightly, get shot down lol.
Worst glitch was the ability to sit inside the gas tanks positioned next to flags. Stand on the tank as an engineer, throw a morter launcher down infront of you. Use the launcher and then exit it steping backwards into the tank. Crouch down and your invincible and hidden and next to the flag, stoping the axis from taking it or shooting you even if they figured out you were there. 😯 Not that I ever did this 😉 but its good to know what other are up to.
They should bring out the desert combat mod for the xbox, now that that would be awsome.
Capturing the flag with a plane, yea, throttle back, bank hard, circle tightly, get shot down lol.
No not that, dive down with plane do a loop jump out open the chute and at the last second grabbing the flag just as the plane came back around and take off.
Or dive down with a plane with clan mate close behind, chute open at last second again grab the flag just as clan mate passes by with plane, they jump out and you jump in and away.
Anyone caught doing that glitch on our server was booted, cheats were easy to spot with good admins so even if they got around the anti-cheat we still got them.
BF2 bad company was awesome! Can't wait to lay my hands on the new one. I must say that the new Medal of Honor gameplay was actually better and easier to master than both COD and BF. Shame the maps weren't very good!
