The Official Battlefield 3 Thread

why isnt he spotting the enemies for everyone to see? or is that not in this game

also, did they fix that fucking helicopter bullshit

^ i was thinking the same thing…

He has no crosshairs, so I am assuming they are playing Hardcore mode. HC modes in BC2 do not have spotting, this is me assuming it will be the same on BF3.

3D Spotting is in BF3. A lot of people playing still don’t realize it’s feature/function. There’s enough videos out
there finally you’ll eventually see it.

No one knows mang. There’s only been the one map, Operation Metro (Paris) and it only has one vehicle for Attackers
(Rush Mode), the LAV82. It’d be safe to assume they’ll function just like they do in BFBC2, if not slightly different/better.

I’ve recently read rumor through Twitter that claymores are in, but I’ve yet to see with my own eyes so, could very well
just be rumor still.

Yeah I can not wait for this shit, I liked BFBC2 and was one of the few good snipers in that game.

Cant wait to get BF3. What should I expect? I’m a CoD player.

A totally different world. Lets get this out of the way first so you can fully understand. In Battflefield fuck your K/D, unlike in COD your K/D can be largely irrelevant in the Battlefield series. It is more about being a team player and getting/supporting objectives. Stuff like don’t just be a bushwookie, actually spot people provide mortar support call out stuff for your squad (This pertains to sniping). Do not just rush in blindly ala Rambo and think you will get away with it. As good as someone like Reth is in COD, he would struggle immensely if he tried to play Battlefield the same way. It is going to take some adjustment and it will fuck up your COD game. It is a slower paced, more tactical game that awards thinking over reflexs.

Support your teammates by all means possible.

While this is a video for BFBC2, but most of this will pertain to BF3.

Lol yeah I love that vid saw it awhile ago when I was looking up tips for BC2. Spotting is so important in this game, and you get credit for it if that player you spotted dies.

What’s SRK’s main platform for this game?

I got friends that are getting this game for the PC, might be looking into getting our own server aswell once more details about that comes out.

I am getting it on the 360.

I was happy to see that this wasn’t some Machinima bullshit.

360 here

I’m pretty stoked for BF3. I’ll be getting a HDTV soon, so hopefully it’ll look crystal clear on my 360.

I just got an LG 23" 1080p for my computer. I’m gonna be wetting myself while playing this game.

My TRI-SLI 580’s are waiting.

I hope its 3D Vision ready on launch day.

You’ve got too much fucking money on your hands, good sir.

I’d imagine Pixel Enemy will be wanting to do another “how to” video for BF3 when it his. And yeah, they should,
because their BFBC2 one was perfect. That shit should play before everyone even starts multiplayer, from the
disc! LOL

I’ll be play online mostly through PS3. Tis where I built my small friends list. I probably indeed will get a copy later for PC
just to be amazed at it’s full prettiness…

~K.

I guess I will be the lonely SRKer representing the PC community. sniff I will do you guys proud, I promise.

You’re not alone. PC will be my main platform for this game.

Dont be surprised if you still cant run 3D max settings with tri-sli, esp. if those are only 1.5GB cards.
