 Battlefield 3: Has CoD finally met its match?A review of a demo they played.
Quote: But before all that, Battlefield 3 looks amazing. The way DICE's Frostbite 2 Engine almost arrogantly plays with light - from its innocent illumination of an everyday Middle Eastern town's afternoon glare to its nuanced reflection of the eye-searing explosions an RPG causes in full anger - is almost frightening in its realism. Quote: Although we expect an explosive result, what follows is nothing short of jaw-dropping. A good quarter of an entire glass tower is demolished, piece by piece, as the foundations of the building shake to their core. Glass shards shower into the street hundreds of meters below as, once again, our ears take a kicking. Quote: Despite the game-changing mo-cap, lighting effects and realism of weaponry, it is perhaps the destructibility - and savage audio assault - that will live longest in our minds. Quote: Before the mandatory black screen and fuzzy war radio squiggles, DICE's demo leaves us with gameplay footage of Air Combat jetfighters and a full-scale tank battle - suggesting that the Swedish studio is ready to offer us more than a new, if polished, Modern Warfare emulator. Graphically, audibly and in terms of blockbuster shock value, Battlefield 3 is has the confidence to suggest it has no peer; that it is breaking new ground for a once-enthralling genre fast becoming stale. And you know what? With this many plus points, it's hard not to believe. Your move, Activision. Full article... http://www.computerandvideogames.com/29 ... its-match/ |

Re: Battlefield 3: Has CoD finally met its match? I thought that BC2 launched a fine first strike at COD, despite it's issues. This one looks like it will fire a nuke at it. However, if the people I know who love COD are at all representative of the COD community, it'll be hard for Dice to pull it off if it doesn't have any of that "run and gun" element. It's the whole reason the people I know, at least, keep buying COD. They should have the SqDM mode in it at least. I only know a few COD players that play anything but TDM and FFA. They tend to shy away from objective based games overall. But, maybe that's just the crowd I used to run with. But, at any rate, I'm glad to see Dice growing a pair and going for the throat. This will be a very bad assed game. I didn't play BF2, but I did play 1942 and the original BF: Vietnam quite a bit and those were ahead of their time already.

Re: Battlefield 3: Has CoD finally met its match? BC2 was about as bad as you can get in terms of launching a game. It took them over 3 months to fix the major bugs, which is unacceptable. Having been burned in the past, I won't get BF3, just like Homefront, until I hear good things from multiple credible sources.

It had some issues at first, but every game does. Then they released some Free content down the road as well as the Vietnam expansion which was very good as well. Great game and still tons of people playing it.

But for them to step up and try to create something new(engine, features), that is always good for the pc community. Could even inspire COD to do something new.

Couldn't agree with you more. |
