Re: Battlefield 3

Eh, did they forget to add recoil to this game? I hope recoil is turned up more by release.

it should be the same as Bad Company 2 recoil if you played it...

plus the guy went prone and you can see that he mounted a bit on the ground so less recoil...

What recoil? It is an M4

Properly held there is little to no recoil, especially with a pneumatic buffer kitted out instead of the spring. And even springs in them there is little to no recoil in a well oiled rig.

Other weapons I am sure will have much more recoil based on their types. It was well done in BC2, so I do not see them making it any different.

I'm pretty sure it was one of the leaked videos that was all over the weba few days after PAX.

Yeah it was, all shaky cam footage. This is not a legit 1080p version so you can clearly see how it looks.

Soon there will be a longer video... can not wait for that!

Battlefield 3 to 'Take Down' Call of Duty with Over $100 Million in Marketing

Battlefield 3 and the Frostbite engine looked quite impressive during the game's GDC debut, and publisher Electronic Arts has made it known for some time now that they won't stop fighting until they've taken back the shooter crown from rival Activision. Talking to a group of marketers at the Ad Age conference, EA boss John Ricitiello explained to the audience that his company is very serious about toppling Call of Duty this fall with the release of Battlefield 3.

After showing them a demo, he proclaimed, referring to Activision's Call of Duty, "This game is designed to take down that game." He categorized it as a "battle of the titans", a rivalry like Red Sox versus Yankees or Microsoft versus Google. Riccitiello also noted that there will be a "couple hundred million dollars of marketing going against these two products going head-to-head."

Ultimately, Riccitello declared, "We think we've got the better product."

Call of Duty is so firmly entrenched in the gaming community that it's definitely going to be challenge for EA. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter told us last month that Battlefield 3 doesn't stand a chance of edging out Call of Duty this fall.

DICE: “Most Sandbox Games Are Boring”

Swedish developer DICE has revealed that combat in its upcoming shooter Battlefield 3’s campaign more closely resembles the tightly-scripted likes of the Call Of Duty series, rather than the open, sandbox style of its previous Battlefield 2: Bad Company games.

Executive producer Patrick Bach told us: “I don’t see it as an absolute goal for all games to be sandbox games. We’ve been building sandbox games for quite some time and we’ve got pretty good at it, but I don’t see that as the only way of building games, because then we wouldn’t build campaigns at all.

“In some cases they aren’t, but in most cases sandbox games are hardcore, boring, hard to get into and they are not very popular.”

Battlefield 3 is powered by DICE’s new Frostbite 2 engine, meaning that the series’ trademark destructible environments will be even more impressive than before. Bach, however, points out that the technology is posing its fair share of problems during development.

“Just the fact that the environment can change dynamically creates a huge challenge for us when it comes to AI,” he explains. “[It] puts a lot of challenges to our AI code when it comes to finding new cover, reacting to the fact that it has disappeared, moving and flanking based on the new situation.”

The news of Battlefield 3 doing away with larger sandbox type maps and moving to a more confined COD type map is extremely disappointing!! That"s one of the things about the BF series that's always dragged me in and kept me playing for a long time.

UGGHH!!
