Battlefield 3: MINDBLOWING

Ben Sones:

Perhaps, but the notion that you can capture that Game X’s user base simply by trying to be more like Game X is questionable at best. Just ask all the MMOs that are trying to be WoW. DICE would be better off focusing on their strengths, and making great single-player campaigns is not one of them. They make fantastic multiplayer games, and they should run with that–distinguish themselves from Modern Warfare, rather than trying to be Modern Warfare. Being MP-only certainly hasn’t hurt Team Fortress 2.

No argument here, but I don’t run EA.

I’ve made a QT3 Platoon here. I’ve also send out a few invites to people here. Feel free to join us.

I have the game!

So, the campaign. Typical CoD clone with mediocre AI, over scripted, on rails parts, stealth sections consisting on advancing 40 mts straight, QTEs, etc.

One example would be the jet level. It’s the most mindblowing thing i have seen since… it’s the most mindblowing thing ever. That’s it, the graphics. But being so good, it’s also incredible bad. The gameplay. The entire level is, surprise surprise, a onrails experience. I suppose they didn’t have time to do something better, using up so much resources in the purty graphics!

It looks purty, but the unlimited number of 'Winders I fired at those MiGs got pretty tedious. Their flares diverted at least 2-3 missiles each, and I finished with something like 8 kills.

Tried briefly the multiplayer, i can’t remember what is the name of the level, but it was a street fight while it was raining lightly. It rocked :), i liked better than Metro and Caspian from the beta. Also, the performance seemed better than in the Beta.

Man I wish they wouod let you quit a server/game in between maps. That still bugs the hell out of me.

You can. Hit esc or alt-f4

instant0 · 2011-10-25T12:57:37.000Z

Yea, ALT-f4 is nice.

I do believe that your stats aren’t uploaded if you quit too early though.

Oh noes!

TimJames · 2011-10-25T13:00:03.000Z

There’s also this one, unless it’s the same as one of those other two. Someone stop the madness.

JPR:

There’s a platoon called [QT3] qt3. I assume somebody here made that? Either way, I’m applying to join.

Gotta ask - does Battlelog provide a nice signature-sized image for stats comparison like all the third party sites do?

Cubit:

Oh noes!

Haha. I’ll kill the one I made then. Even though this one was later ;)

Dreamshadow · 2011-10-25T13:41:19.000Z

I’ve started a Q23 platoon for those of us who are consoles (as I am unable to join the PC only one.)

I applied to this one:

Seemed like it had the most members

Also joined that one, after getting an invite! :D

Editer · 2011-10-25T14:21:41.000Z

Yes, this is the real platoon.

Can a platoon not include both PC and console members?

when I attempt to join from my 360 character, it says ‘You may not join this platoon with this character.’ The pc platoon clearly has Pc listed next to the name, as the 360 platoon has the 360 icon next to it.

TurinTur · 2011-10-25T14:35:57.000Z

2nd level on coop. I saved the mission, because it happens that, without being known to anyone, i am an ACE flying the choppers!

mrmolecule88 · 2011-10-25T15:01:38.000Z

Ah, what the hell, I’ve got a gift certificate. I suppose I’ll pick this up. Do I need to have an Origin account to sign on to the console platoon?

Yes, the whole battlelog system requires an Origin/EA login.

AlanQ · 2011-10-25T15:28:48.000Z

OK I pulled the trigger on this one. I suck at these games but am going to make yall play with me. Suckers.

Ponicus · 2011-10-25T15:47:35.000Z

Umm… any interest in a QT3 PS3 platoon or am I alone here? lol
