battlefield 3

[M_P]

Anyone else really wanting this?

 

 

Looks so good, way better than any FPS I've seen so far

[Deva]

Probably the only game I'll buy all year assuming that I don't hear too many negative reviews when it is first released.

[Cyrax]

Looks good.

 

Suggested video?

If it is ill let you through me infront of a truck

[sarni307]

to be honest it just looks like any other FPS just maybe better graphics

not that thats a problem i love FPS's

[walshy155]

I'm getting it, last game I played was Crysis 2, anyway like Crysis 2 I'm going to get BF3 by torrents, I'm not paying.

[The Leprechaun!]

Flashpoint all the way...

[Cyrax]

Ill still get it, BF has the best team spawning system of any FPS at the mo.

 

How is that new flashpoint? Ive got the old one, realistic but not amazing.

[The Leprechaun!]

Tbh i havent got it either lol, since my xbox has died atm However, i have played on it and it does seem to be better than the previous one.

 

And yeah im into it mainly for the realism (no dual wielding Glock 18c's on painkiller with 'uber-armour' or whatever **** they have in COD these days )

[Matt!]

Waiting for skyrim myself

 

Looks likes its gonna be a mix between BC, cod and the MOH and nothing like bf2 so prob a no go from me!

[Ricey]

Seems like it will be the best fps available when it comes out. Will be superior to CoD so definitely getting it. Still prefer Halo though (Not Reach i mean proper Halo games).

[Finius]

CoD is dead. Long live the king!

[SpecialForce]

Is there a AFUK clan? I play bfbc2 a lot, and bf3 well..i cant wait!!

[MZKaleem]

Well, having played BFBC2 a lot with a mate of mine doing some two-man sniper team stuff, i hope BF3 will provide more milsim aspects while on hardcore, core, 5 shots to the head with an M24 still running along...my arse!

[Matt!]

5 shots to the head with an M24 still running along...my arse!

 

doubt it, as its on the same engine i would imagine they took the same aspects through into BF3. with on core it doesnt take 5 shots .

 

As the sequel to BF2. it looks like a console game. prob wont end up buying this..

[Cyrax]

I have always been under the impression that Bad Company two was a bit of fun, a B movie, and BF3 would be a return to proper war.

 

Being on the console, there will be aim assist and probably higher levels of health, but i a hoping they don't de-skill it too much and make it a more accessible flashpoint. Which, i think is amazing, it just needed refining a little bit.

to be honest it just looks like any other FPS just maybe better graphics

not that thats a problem i love FPS's

 

you cant be serious!?!

at like well a long distance i always mis judge gravity,

[Cyrax]

Christ it has a G36C and an M93R. I buying two copies.

[MZKaleem]

Underslung weaponry:

M320

 

um M320? or M203? i actually have no idea if they meant that or not...

[Hubert]

M320s are real 40mm underslung noobtoobs. I can't remember if they're made by H&K or someone else.

More modern. I have no idea if the plan to replace all US M203s with M320s is still going ahead, I remember it ran into some difficulty when someone realised just how expensive it would be to replace 100's of thousand M203s...

[M_P]

You've never heard of the m320?

 

Yeah its make by h&k, its on mw3 too I think

[Airsoft-Ed]

Straight pull bolt? What's one of those when its at home?

 

And quick reloads? They'd better not be killing the realism with retarded "slight of hand" type crap.

[M_P]

Both are just to speed up reload times I guess.

A straight pull bolt just means you don't have to rotate it
