Battlefield 3 Clubhouse

[Black Haru]

Thats nice but how about a beta for all prior to launch? Meh.

I would suspect something similar to the BC2 beta, not open, but not exactly hard to get into either.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Not hard how so? Got more details about that? I wasn't paying attention at the time (and somehow didn't even know about this game until this clubhouse was started).

just means many keys available, in a number of ways.

it was technically closed, but you had keys for different pre orders, different sites had a number of keys to give away. It wasn't free for all but with a little looking you could find a way in easily enough.

Well just watched the last unlocked trailer on the BF3 facebook. I think my system is screwed for being able to play the game much more then at medium settings on multiplayer.

Get out! Your rig will chew through it perfectly. What makes you think it won't?

 

[mastrdrver]

Just listening to him talk about some of the things in the video makes me think the game will give some of those 6 core processors a good workout. Remember that the render distance and all the people and cars from GTA 4 are done mostly by the CPU. I understand that GTA 4 is the pinnacle of console port fail, but even optimized there is still only so much of that can be moved off the cpu. Efficiency here will be key to how well BF3 runs with higher options of detail in this area.

I'm guessing a quad will be a minimum requirement.

Also currently I only have two 5870s. I need to get off my butt and contact XFX about the third one.

 

[garyinhere]

anyone know when it'll be available to pre purchase from steam?

probably not until closer to release...

i recommend getting it from d2d anyway. I love my steam account, but direct2drive has 20+% off lately, which ill get you the game about $15-20 cheaper.

20% off $50 is $10. And off $60 is $12. What game did you buy that was originally $75 to $100?

 

[digibucc]

20% off $50 is $10. And off $60 is $12. What game did you buy that was originally $75 to $100?

i've actually been buying 3 or more at a time, last discount was $43 off...
so i was guestimating based off that rather than actually doing the math... which ya know, takes thought

plus i said 20+% (20 or more percent)
their last discount was 25% - which from a 60$ game IS $15. they also did stacking at one point, and someone wrote here they got 35%, which is $21 off a $60 game.
so despite how wrong it looked, for what i was saying it actually was correct

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

What are you doing with all these copies?

P.S. Ill pay somebody for beta access if it comes down to it. Cash, weed, homemade blackberry cornmeal muffins--whatever you want!!! lol

 

[digibucc]

What are you doing with all these copies?

not multiple copies, different games.

I pre-ordered crysis 2, shogun 2, homefront, bf3, rage, brink, witcher 2 and rf:armageddon.

I had some cash and knew i'd want em all at release. didn't know how long d2d would keep up such discounts (not permanent for sure) ... and games rarely drop soon after release... saved some dough

Doubtful, its suppose to be based on real event, but its a fictional story, and just because he's down, doesnt mean all action is done.

It’s been a pretty solid week here on team Battlefield, and we’re about to bring you some of the best and brightest in this first ever Battlefield Highlights of the Week.

It seems that fansite Battlefield3.nl has scrounged up some high-res images, allowing for a closer look at an APC, a tank, and jets from Battlefield 3. Want to see these images for yourself? Be sure to head over to Battlefield3.nl for everything you need.

Quite a few great Battlefield videos came to our attention this week, and though there were plenty of amazing choices, we’ve narrowed things down to our favorite videos. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

Video of the Week: Battlefield 3 Trailer: Redeption

Coming to us from YouTube user TranscendenceFilms, this custom Battlefield 3 trailer includes footage from the full 12-minute Fault Line trailer. When coupled with the song “Final Hour” by X Ray Dog, the end result is a haunting, beautiful and action-packed video.

The second video featured this week a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 montage from YouTube user hundredsofthem and features some great action, amazing gunplay, and stunning destruction, making for something that’s quite a bit of fun to behold.

that threatty video (montage, hundredsofthem) is pretty damn good.

there were a few truly amazing shots...

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Some seemed almost staged though.

yeah i wasn't sure ... i figured i'd give the benefit of the doubt.

that definitely makes it less cool, but still - after putting so many hours in,
just seeing some of those things happen was pretty cool i thought

Yeah that video was amazing watching it, I was curious and had to look up his stats. I mean killing 4 people with 1 PP2000 clips, or even 6+ people with an LMG clip while holding it down, you can't waste any bullets doing that. The C4 chopper and such, thats possible, theres some bad pilots, it's luck, but I've killed a few choppers with landmines, always the pilots fault and me being lucky. Also the killing sprees seem fine, I've seen numerous people here do that, but it's his accuracy that just seems unreal.

His stats are good, but I honestly don't know if I could put together a 10 min long video thats running mostly in a slight fast forward speed with those kind of highlights, even if I had been recording the entirety of my 457h of gametime. I could posts tons of 10+ kill streaks, but none that are so clean, I'll use my main weapon, then my pistol, then my knife, then reload pistol or gun, get shot a bit and such.

 

[Black Haru]

I didn't think it looked staged. after a lot of hours of play, I have seen many of those situations (although I am not usually as successful at dealing with them) people really do tend to line up in rows.

Like I said, I've seen and done a lot of killing streaks, not calling anything on those ,and my lifetimes stats are greater than that guys in almost all regards, but very rarely do my killing streaks go that smoothly. Once you start on a murderous rampage, maybe the 2nd or the 3rd guy doesn't hear it, but at some point, people hear teamates dieing, and bullets being fired. Then they all start jiggling around for their lives and you just got to slide the knife in and put them down, but tis always more fun once they know its coming.

 

[H82LUZ73]

Just a heads up ,I seen in the May New Movie release Ad or book guide of Blockbuster in the games it says BF3 is Nov1 2011 anyone can confirm this.

 

[digibucc]

no confirmation, they hinted towards the same time cod comes out, which iirc is normally november/december... so it's possible.

retailers always put estimates in their books though, and anything could happen. even if it's true it's not definite, so i just wait
