Battlefield 3 - Arriving this fall!

[Damaera]

There's nothing that infuriates me more than them knowing that this kind of **** pisses people off, and yet they still won't do anything about it because they know people will still buy and play their game(s). They definitely lost some money by making this decision, but not enough to make them back down from this.

I'm not buying this game mainly because my computer can't handle it (and I don't really like shooters as much as I used to), but if I had a decent enough computer to play this game and planned on buying it, this would give me a good reason to change my mind.

Pretty much why I stick to FPS on the Xbox.

Pretty much why I stick to FPS on the Xbox.

This is a bit strange of you to say so but I know what you mean.

And I don't care if it's on steam or not really. I don't think my PC can handle it anyway and besides buying a new one for just that game (because other games don't need it yet and hardware gets cheaper if I wait) isn't worth it.

We should all play cracked non-Origin BF3 singleplayer.

 

[Shonnie]

Yes, and then make our own multiplayer steam-compatible.

 

[Baaja]

So you can't just add the game to Steam afterwards? If I ever get the computer able to run this masterpiece I would do it in an instant. But I'm waiting for some cash to come my way so that I can make such a large investment! This game is too good to not take the chance to experience it.

I'm not sure if both game Overlays would interact with each other correctly.

Origin is stupid.

CoD3 doesnt stand a chance.

 

[-Origin]

I'm far from a CoD fanboy but I'll take that bet.

 

[Zeonix]

Then you will lose, sir.

Good day.

Boom!

We’ve previously toyed around with the idea of Battlefield 3 pre-orders topping 1 million units before launch, but it’s always hard to tell when there are no official numbers. Well, now there are, as EA CFO Eric Brown revealed during the Citi Tech Conference. Brown said that Battlefield 3 so far has been pre-ordered 1.25 million times, which is above all expectations, and certainly more than any other Battlefield game. Brown also said that EA has a head start on Modern Warfare 3, something they plan on taking advantage of. Brown said, “We have the advantage of a two-and-a-half week early launch window versus our competitor, and we intend to use that.”

On top of that, Brown revealed that the marketing campaign for Battlefield 3 is bigger than that of the upcoming and much anticipated MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.

It was previously reported, but unconfirmed, that Battlefield 3 pre-orders had surpassed 700,000 units, a number which was 10 times that of the previous Battlefield game, Bad Company 2. If you still haven’t pre-ordered, check out our list of pre-order deals currently available.

tl;dr 1.25 million Pre-orders. Oh Snap.

 

[Zeonix]

Its because of the Dinosaur dlc game mode.

Alpha footage... I think. Skip to 2:40 for the impressive part.

 

[Deathshot]

Oh man.... I just jizzed...

Too bad the video is gone, but that girly scream from the dude when the entire floor blowed up, I am definitely hoping to get a Deja Vu on that. :3

Too bad the video is gone

Yes, I'm finding the false (and, thereby, illegal) DMCA claim rather humorous myself.
