Battlefield 3

Re: Battlefield 3

I played the BC2 beta and it seemed so-so, because the fact that the only map you got was Port Valdez.

So far in this beta (console), the only thing you can play is Operation Metro, which doesn't involve vehicles or really much of what Battlefield is really about.

I wouldn't put all your marbles in one jar with any beta..Retail version will tell the tale.

Played last night for a bit on the 360. Big MEH from me. Just couldn't get into it. Graphics seem terrible. Sound is good though.

Wow, really? Compared to what? Please don't say COD.

This game will smoke COD in everything....except sales.

I thought it looked good but I agree with it feeling meh. It's just another military shooter in this demo form plus I can't stand Rush game type. Need a bigger map with vehicles for me to get into it. I canceled my preorder, may look into it later on.

Re: Battlefield 3

the Beta is pretty meh. Compared to a retail BF:BC2. But once, all the modes, vehicles, and everything else...it will be a MUCH better. About the graphics, there are many more players, more destruction, vehicles and much larger levels than COD...so they wont look like that on console.

Not sure really, I didn't put that much though into it. Just thought it was blah. But that was coming off playing some Gears of War 3.

Once I unlocked a nice scope, I started wreaking havoc.

Well that is a given,

Gears is Unreal Engine bliss!

Re: Battlefield 3

I sure hope they find a way to keep this sort of stuff out of the retail version:

And considering it is using a launcher (i.e. like Steam)... these will not last long.

And they have these for every game... most people run their dedicated servers... people caught using them (and there are tools to tell), will be banned from said servers.

I would not worry too much now-a-days.

Re: Battlefield 3

This game is a CAMPFEST.....and the sad thing about it is ITS A BETA no stats even count.

I can only imagine what people will do in the real game

Servers I have been on, people were fish in a barrel. Maybe they are learning

Run and gun is easy pickins', lock and loaded!

Re: Battlefield 3

I'm not sure I understand how there is camping in a game of attack and defend (what Rush boils down to).

People don't play for the objective and just snipe. Saw it in BFBC2 Rush mode too. Good teams just tear through that but you see it a lot.

With Battlelog, we are expanding the social aspect of playing Battlefield 3, and Platoons is one of the central concepts in doing that. Check out the Battlelog video above for a closer look at the social platform Battlelog as a whole. Read on for the full details on why being in a Platoon is the most engaging and rewarding way to play Battlefield 3.

A Platoon is essentially the classic concept of gaming clans, only taken to the next level of flexibility and social interaction. Anyone can start their own Platoon easily in Battlelog. Give your Platoon a name, a description, and an abbreviation, and then you’re ready to start inviting friends through the slick Battlelog interface.

To personalize your Platoon, you can use the built-in emblem feature in Battlelog, where you pick and choose from ready-made shapes and templates and then place and format them to your liking. Up to 100 players can be part of a Platoon at any given time, and you can be a member of three different Platoons at the same time – you just need to select which of these you want to be active at any one time.

Play for the glory of your Platoon
Every game you play when part of a Platoon (whether you play on your own or with other members) will count towards your Platoon’s aggregate statistics, scores, and rank. Having a large pool of skilled players who play a lot of games is a good idea if you want to rise to the top in the Platoon-specific leaderboards.

Just like on an individual player level, the Platoon page will have detailed stats on how you are doing collectively. What’s your record for winning and losing online? What’s the breakdown of classes within your Platoon? Who is the most valuable player in your Platoon? What is the mean rank of your Platoon? and so on.

You also have a Platoon specific feed in Battlelog that will show everything that concerns your Platoon – people joining, internal chats, new match records for your members, and anything else you need to keep track of what is happening in your group of players.

Battlelog users can search for Platoons in their country or area, become fans of Platoons, or apply for membership. In the regular news feed for Battlelog, fans and friends can follow your latest progress and awards.

With Platoons, we are making it easier and more fun than ever to play together. It’s not just a group of people playing together, either – it’s a large group of people where everything you do will ultimately have an impact on your Platoon’s standing and be reflected in their statistics.

You can get a first taste of the Platoon functionality in Battlefield 3 right now in the Open Beta.* While not having every feature turned on, this is a great chance for you to try it out, and see how it will give you that extra incentive to play and to contribute to the greater good of advancing your Platoon.

Stay tuned for Battleblog #13 soon
