Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

It looks interesting for those that want it, and for that that don't just bypass it. But thing I notice most is the friends list, an active ingame actual typing chat feature between friends, friends list looks much improved.

I like their little icons and meters, but I wish it just came with a good old chart that showed your KD and other stats over time, much like BFBCS has.

I assume it will like 2142 and BF2. Remember, this is just the screen you see when you first log in. I am sure there will be a stats page you can go to for all that.

While I don't necessarily like Origin, I like it being used as a backbone. This should remove the friend list limit BS.

Edit: Actually look at the top right section of the screen Kurgan. You can see the Stats page.

Battlefieldo - Battleblog #3: First Pictures of Battlelog

Battleblog #3: First Pictures of Battlelog
12:11 pm | by Stadler on July 14, 2011 in Battlefield 3

Well today it’s Thursday and that means it’s time for another update from the Official Battlefield Blog. This time we get our first look at the Battlelog feature in Battlefield 3. DICE has proved to us once again that they are going a step further with Battlefield 3 and I must say, Battlelog is looking pretty damn impressive so far. Especially the built in chat function. The blog posting is only on the German Battlefield page now, but hopefully the English version will be released in the next hours to come. We will keep you posted.

i kind of like all this fluff.

Sorry for a possible retarded question.... But I have a couple build for some clients coming up. Their specific reason for building new is because of this game and the fact they heard it is going to be taxing. Can anyone confirm that rumor here? Is this game really supposed to be on the level of like Crysis and metro 2033?

GullyFoyle · Jul 15, 2011

If BF3 is not coming to Steam, you guys may be more interested in deals elsewhere for this.

Pre-order BF3 from Newegg, using coupon code "EMCKCJE53", and get it for $50 w/free shipping.

It's a three day code, that expires after Sunday, 7/17/11. Most likely not Release day shipping.
I don't expect Newegg to pick up any special pre-order bonus' like the PWP. Besides the $10, that is.

People from DICE have said if you can run Bad Company 2 well, you can play BF3, but not at "max". But they have also said that the computer has not been built yet that can run it at "max". The computer they used to demo it at GDC had a single GTX580 card. Unknown CPU.
They have not released specific minimum and recommended computer requirements yet.
IMHO, yes it looks as good as Crysis and Metro 2033.

Those are system requirements have been floating around the net, they are unofficial specs that originated at the fan site bf3blog.com. They have been specifically denied by DICE.

Wow then I will relay the message about this game. I am glade I looked into it first before I made a recommendation. If I would have told them that a GTX 580 or a couple of them would have been okay I might have ate my words thanks for the advice.

So it is really supposed to be that ridiculous has anyone said what is supposed to be so taxing about it yet??? That much tessellation or what ???

Agreed.

20mmrain · Jul 15, 2011

The only thing is .... I have supposedly seen game play videos and while yes it looks nice.... It doesn't look so wonderful to make me think "worlds most powerful computer needed" either.

Also just looking at comparison threads like this....http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http://nicarevolution.com/2011/02/24/battlefield-3-nuevo-rey-de-graficas-comparacion-incluida/ But still I am not that impressed yet.... I would love too see it though. Maybe this will be the game to finally move past crappy console ports and move to the next level!!! That would be great !!!

REAYTH · Jul 15, 2011

ok so if i order from newegg ill save money on tax and the ten bucks with promo code not to mention the shipping almost 17 bucks BUT WHEN WILL IT ARIVE!!!!?!?!

You need to search for a downloadable high bit-rate video, the ones on YouTube do not do it justice.

The free shipping option is UPS 3 days guaranteed. Depends on how close to a Newegg warehouse you are. 1-3 days.

Pestilence · Jul 15, 2011

Newegg will ship the day before relase and you should get it 2 days after. I ordered BC2 from the EA store and it arrived on launch day. I'll pay the extra 10 bucks and buy it from EA

Me too.
Those in the business know that a GTX680 or a HD7970, an Ivy Bridge and 8GB is the hardware to get. :rolleyes:

Took your advice and checked it out in high bit-rate video. Looks much more impressive. Still not sure if it will be that hardcore in terms of hardware. But the game is sure damn impressive looking thanks for the suggestion!

There are a couple of Swedish TV4 News spots on DICE tonight.

Here is one posted on YouTube. There are some screenshots of the editor, but otherwise not very entertaining if you don't speak Swedish.

But, these guys from battlefield3.nl say they saw a reference to LAN mode posted on a whiteboard behind Karl Magnus Troeddson. I wouldn't get your hopes up, sounds unlikely to me.

One guy that apparently understands Swedish summarizes the story this way:

This is the main thing he says:
- They work very hard on the game
- Dice is pleased with publisher EA
- No political things BF3
- Some parts same as MW3 (some locations, paris)
- They listen to the community and do many things we want

Pestilence · Jul 16, 2011

Has anyone seen this? EA has decided to nerf building destruction in BF3

Yeah it does, I think the game itself will make up for
the lame social media interface. I hope anyway.

I really can't see that being true to be honest. With the current CPU's on the market, or even the top end videocards. The game is only what 3 months away and no hardware on the market can play it maxed, not even with multiple videocards? I call BS on DICE for that call.

If that is indeed true (about requirements to max out the game), I applaud DICE for looking forward into the future.
It will give the game better longevity.

Of course, what is of upmost importance is: can you play the game on a cheap machine at 45-60 FPS at settings that make it look pretty?
If the game looks good on medium settings, does it really matter if it doesn't say "maxed settings" in the options menu?
