BattleField 3

[Slatts]

its great fun against my mates but it doesnt have that "its personal" feeling like MW where the maps are confined and you can find each other without a tank or skidloader chasing you

CQ will bring that feeling into it and then some, with taking out entire walls theres no guy hiding in a corner..you just get rid of that corner the fast paced infantry action and destruction didnt gel that well in the vanilla game, but now it *should*

Armoured Kill will probably be the best, maybe im being biased since im a vehicle man...interesting to see how SPH's will fit into it

I want some kind of tomahawk or ballistic knife so i can be really tacticool.


Think I'll finally pick this game up soon.

Now is a good time, as it's on sale at half price.

i still cant get the idea behind the L86(apart from giving the support class another gun)
i mean, you can put a bi-pod on a L85 and there you go

I am a C4 whore, so this gun to me is essential as I gets to play SA80 and C4 whore when it's out. It better be accurate like the real thing too, always annoys me in shooters where they never give SA80s there due when it comes to accuracy.
Just need a jetpack now so I can C4 helis and planes and I will be 100% happy with BF3.
Well maybe if they ditch the overdone bloom and stupid assed colour filters.

I've been waiting for the price to drop but it's taking longer than usual.

Rofl... Well, I don't know what you think usual is, but you'll be waiting for a long time for the price to drop below £20.

When it get's to £20 I'll give it serious consideration to buy a single copy.

When it gets to £5 and £10 I might buy a set of them for my LAN.

No real hurry.
I'll enjoy playing for the same length of time if I buy it down the road as if I buy it now.


But £35 per PC for some DRM'd nightmare that I'm going to have to hack about with, I don't really want it enough.

I could get myself a pretty reasonable secondhand NV scope off of Ebay for that sort of money.


I'd quite like them to have finished with all the patching too, that's an added bonus for waiting.
I'll give it until summer and then check again I expect.

It was £20 on origin for a couple of weeks, up until yesterday.

Thanks for the heads up I hadn't really been paying much attention to the DL copies.
Perhaps it's a good time to start.

I just read the reviews on widescreengamingforum and it seems to be patched to functional state. So I think it's about time I joined the war.

It's part of EA's plan to copy COD. Sell the game for $60 for several years like COD did with the odd sale on Origin. Don't bother with the multiple copies for LAN play though... No LAN, No dedicated server files.

[Baff1]

Lol. That last comment clinched it for me.
I just bought two copies of FEAR 3 instead. £18 delivered for the two.

BF3 can stay on the back burner a while longer.

Thanks for everyones kind advice. Really appreciated as always.
