Battlefield 3

Oh yeah, cause, you know, a massive homicidal terrorist-based level occurring in an airport would easily be allowed on a multi-million dollar grossing retail game.

Remember...no Russian.

Sorry, I must have forgotten to update the "this was just a joke" plugin for my browser. I just kept pressing "remind me later".
And semi-auto is easier to control than burst firing IMO

You do realize that when I use reaction images like that I'm only joking? You'd think people would have caught on by now that when I'm serious I would usually comment on their post, not just insert an image.

Cause, you know, there totally wasn't a huge amount of controversy over that and it wasn't turned into a skippable level in which was a sly move in order to sneak the level onto the game.

Well yeah, but it's not like they don't rate the content of online interactions, you know? It's totally the company's fault if a player willingly decides to use the jet to crash into a tower that is not representing one of the Twin Towers, even though the game itself does not enforce or suggest the idea of it at all in the first place, right?

We both need to update the plugin.
Plus, the gorilla face doesn't lie.

Well, I have been scouring the web for anything and everything BF3 related the last few days in hopes of taking a peek at some of the maps. I was able to find this, which is a fun mix of PC and PS3 vids compiled in one place (note: if you have adblock or noscript, disable them both)

And a bit of the Seine map:

It's basically the last part of Metro but through the entire map with some wide-open streets and some cargo containers randomly thrown down for cover. Well, ok, I'm sure it's not *that* simple, but yeah.

It was also revealed that Low settings on PC is equivalent to what is running on consoles.

Makes me wish I had a $1000 PC.

Regardless, I am really excited to get into this game and start playing tactically with other people! Also, I mentioned this way back earlier in the thread... I pre-ordered the game at Best Buy. Should I pull up 15 minutes before they open, or can I just go in on my lunch break and pick up a copy? Also, I'm seriously (read:seriously) considering taking the day off from work. Thoughts?

Get there early and get the game immediately or else Best Buy might screw up (again).

What the hell

[Speedynutty68•]

Omg. I want that. I would so be willing to get shot so it's realistic'er. (Disregard my little note thing above my avatar. I'm being 100% serious right now.) Ah. Wawnt. Itz.

[xero]

What the hell

DO WANT.

[gdn001]

What the hell

I am so willing to fill half my home with a room like that!

[abyssalassassin]

What the hell

Sign me up!

[schm0]

Sign me up!

I would fall flat on my face on those rollers. Like, perma-prone.

Considering the fact that most players crawl inside bushes all the time, that oughta be an interesting experience!

[Speedynutty68•]

I like that word... Perma-Prone... Ooo! I'm going to yell it out everytime I die! 'Going perma-prone'. Then everybody would be like... Wtf? :P

Also, I wonder if anybody will take the challenge of winning a match without any kills. Like an entire team goes in, gets no kills, and still wins. Like these guys on CoD. It would be much harder. But still.

Includes a sneak peek at the Back to Karkand map!

SPOILER ALERT: It looks the same.

Well, it's all new to me!

[KlawwTheClown]

Well, it's all new to me!

Same for me! With the exception of Wake Island which looks super special awesome in BF3 according to the concept art they have. It's my favourite BF1943 map. (In an earlier post I may have said I had 1942 by accident. Excuse my mistake)

For anyone who hasn't seen the concept art, it's in this spoiler right here. I figure it's probably old, so most people will have seen it already, but meh. Huge picture by the way.

Also, is there gonna be some kind of LBPC clan/platoon/whatever they're called? (I missed the whole beta because my old PS3 was busy being dead, but I got a new one in time to play one night of it)

Yes, we had a Platoon during the beta and I plan on creating another one once retail hits. Problem is that Battlelog is closed down until the retail version hits stores. Unless someone else wants to run a new platoon, it doesn't matter either way. And you can belong to up to three Platoons at once, but only choose one as active.

[gdn001]

Sure there is going to be wake island...
