Battlefield 3
 

Has anyone seen the gameplay footage of Battlefield 3? Be sure to watch in HD.








Looks outstanding so far. :jump:

Yep, definitely going to get this. Hope it's not another Medal of Honour though, that looked good and sucked.

Don't understand why every military shooter has to have the F-word in it now. I don't want my kid/family hearing that crap so why buy the game?

that's why it's rated 'M' and it kinda adds more realism cuz that word is thrown around ALOT in the military. u dont usually hear a soldier say "heck" or "fudge" anymore. but im definitely getting this game, theres no way it can turn into a medal of honor.

If the F-word determines realism, someone's priorities needs to be straightened out. It's the lack of regenerating health and no ability to do all the work with no help that determines realism.

Yeah I agree. I know plenty of people in the military that are on the front lines. They don't all drop the F-bomb and even if they did... they weren't around there three year old kid when they did.

yah true lol. have u ever considered building a gaming room/den? it could work.

I agree aswell, it's unnessesary to use that language. But it seems to be the norm in action games these days :(

yah, but i have noticed that around here, the F-word is thrown around alot, even in school, but not around teachers (of course) my dad uses it like its his favorite word, and so does my entire girlfriend's family. so really, 2 things could cause this:
1. its because i live in a redneck part of new york, lol.
2. just a coincidence.

The game rating system is designed to let you know "kids" should not hear it. I can assure the devs, promoters, managers and every middle man involved thought the F-Bomb out. Its up to each individual country to rate the game based off of different things wich in turn will tell you (the customer) if your child should be around the game.

Given the information on the box its down to you to shelter or show your child. Past law suits have made this an industry standard.

So are you guys saying that the swearing is unnecessary for games in general, or you don't want your kids to be listening to a game where people are swearing?

Because tbh, I think the gratuitous violence is slightly worse than a few swear words that kids will hear in everyday life.

I seing as too a general perspecive, just see it as annoying when every other word is the f-word :(

I know what you mean, but with more and more games including pretty graphic violence and torture scenes, I'd be more concerned about that.

Arma still counters those points, barely any cuss words, and a miniscule amount of gore.

The new operation flashpoint on the other hand is 90% f-word before every mission and it's getting really annoying :(

I totally just picked up this month's gameinformer and read about that!

" ...Rather than fill these action lulls with character development, your over-aggressive CO performs a tired impression of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket the entire time. When he's not harping about his damn rules, he's shouting over-written insults that almost always fall flat."

Atleast OFP dragon rising wasn't as curse riddled as red river.

You know it is more bothersome that they can't be inconvenienced to make an option in the settings to disable "adult" language. They are all about pushing the envelopes of what was previously possible but yet can't waste the time to do something as simple as that.

TBH, my wife and kid are not watching the screen with me as I play. On top of that I don't see strategic shooters as being "gratuitous violence." If I was playing something like Left Four Dead or Grand Theft Auto, then that would be a different story. I wasn't aware, however, of the torture scenes in BF3.

I don't know about BF3 but the newest COD has and MW2 had the scene where you played a Russian terrorist gunning down civilians in the airport.

Does the player have to tag along or can the scenario be altered in real time by player interaction?

It's CoD, the player is never allowed to make his own decisions. The only exception: "this next scene is very graphic, you can choose to skip this with no impact on the story."

No editor either?

Not since cod waw.

mw2, and BO are vanilla only

All BF2 flavors I have.

Same here. I really liked that game, too bad it has such bad lag issues.

When is this thing coming out? October-ish right?

I hope they do demo it... don't think so this time though.

Seems to be more and more of a trend not to release demos, which is a real shame :(

Yeah, that's too bad.

I bought COD4 and the original COD just because I loved the demos. Still think COD was one of the best games I've played.

Well, the less game companies release demos, the more reason we have to torrent :D j/k

Or more reason we have to wait for it to go on sale on steam

Definitly the Norm.
You are in a situation of extremes. extreme emphasis required!!!!!

iv'e seen demo videos of this game on youtube, looks kinda like cod, so im guessing that cod mw3 and battlefield 3 (or Activision and EA) will be going head to head on how much people like there game.

That's the plan.

I got a story to tell you, it happened about two months ago.
I was at a public dodge ball outing, as I was walking to the concessions a 12 year old walks away with a Gatorade and puts his hand over the trash can, opens his hand, and lets $8 drop into the trash can as he kept walking. I took that money and bought a Gatorade for myself, no one suspected a thing.

This is why if you're younger than the age of 14 your opinion does not matter.

BECAUSE the opinions of children 14 and younger do not matter, the Call of Duty franchise is now the worst game on the face of the Earth and it is a miracle it's managed to last this long.

haha, that pic says it all. :D

Whatever!! I dont care, sheesh.

Well it's kinda true Sam. COD games are so easy to figure out. I mis games like BF2 where you had to actully use your brain to explore the game an find cool new options and abilities.

That trailer looks pretty sweet.
:)

Looking good!
