To be honest. I said last year, I was done with COD, but still ended up buying Black ops for 360. But I have learned over the past 2 years. I get the game, play it for about 2 months and then I sell it(because it gets full with glitchers,etc). The longer the game is out, people find more glitches.

But I can tell you now. I will not pick up the new COD game. I dislike that community so much. Everybody is pretty much the same. Once they find a glitch(hiding in a rock, where no one can shoot you. But you can shoot him). All you hear is," Haha I went 80-0, Im better than you, blah blah".

If I am not mistaken, Battlefield has a more mature community.

Yes, I have glitched in a COD game before. I think it was just mainly getting up to a new room in a building. Somewhere where they still could kill me. So it wasnt like a(hide in a rock where they cant shoot me glitch)

There actually were SEALS playing the older SOCOM games. I don't know if they will get this new one, or if they even were on board like they were in the others as advisors, its so different. Former SEALS and DELTA operatives (vs official Navy support) did give advice to MoH and I think that is closer to SOCOM then anything.

who deleted my post???

anyway, does anyone know of any more videos coming out?
im more interested in seeing some multiplayer action (online) as opposed to single player stuff.

i also want to know if there will be any differences between 360 & ps3, or if we get another '360 port'

damn, that will be awesome, these 4 maps were my favourite ones when playing BF2 on PC

Cool. I hope they continue to do with this what they did with BC2: constantly provide free maps via DLC.

Yo Donny, Dice has already provided documentation proving that both console versions have a bunch of their own custom code. They are both custom downports from the PC version. Any drawbacks will stem from limitation of each respective hardware set.

Which means, the PS3 should get the better version.

i read something about the ps3 version coming along better than the 360 version.

what im trying to get an answer for (if its even known yet) is WHAT are the major differences between the ps3 & 360 version.
if its some bs lighting or a rock looking clearer 10 yards away then i dont care.

is 'spotting' coming to BF3?
thank god they didnt implement the stupid commander thing

also will it be like BF2MC where the medic has the mortar strikes and there is an artillery strike box/icon that comes up every 5 minutes or so?

are there ammo & health boxes or is that up to teammates to decide to drop medic/ammo packs?

Hopefully Battlefield will get more converts this iteration. I haven't bought CoD since Modern Warfare 1. Once I played Bad Company 1 I was sold on DICE.

You're asking questions which we wont know till launch and some of those questions like graphics wont be known till post launch when Digital Foundry does a full analysis comparison. And the commander feature isn't stupid at all as long as you have someone good at it

well I'm not sure what you want?

Obviously Dice isn't going to ship one or the other in bad form. they said that both versions will essentially play the same. So the differences are going to mostly be visual. The PS3 will probably have better quality audio effects and more audio effects again. I'm not so sure though if the PS3 will end up with clearly better physics. It COULD, but they are dumping a lot of shading onto the SPE's and with audio and other precision checks happening on them, they may not have the processing time to also outdo the competition with physics. We'll see!

I'm expecting a pretty polished product. Both Bad Company games were pretty swell in regards to the engine.

buuuuuut you'll find me on PC for this one

that looks pretty cool but a whole lot to learn.
seems like the commander can be a make or break position for the team.

im still HOPING for lossless audio for ps3.......fill up that 50gb disc dice
also dont forget the 'war tapes' audio setting for bfbc2, hopefully bf3 has it too

You have very unrealistic expectations and perceptions regarding storage capacity and its use. Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 and God of War III are PS3 exclusive titles with lossless audio and have the best graphics yet they remain in the 25GB range with GOW III taking up 35GB in North America. Also while Killzone 3 does use up 45GB that is mostly just for the 3D pre-rendered cutscenes as the 2D only version is 35GB. And in case you didn't know already most if not all recent multiplatform titles contain 5.1 LPCM for the PS3 version. If you want a better port then the competing console asking the developers to waste time finding ways to fill up a 50GB BD that not even exclusive developers do is pointless.

Unless you have MoH, chances are pretty good you got scammed. Make sure you pay attention for phishing emails.

DICE just came out and said a few days ago that some site was bs'ing the availability of beta codes, and that when the beta and/or codes become available, everyone will know about it.

Getting the feeling that this is going to like Bad Company where all on the "expansion packs" are really included on the disk from the get go. I hope they do a lot better job of supporting this game with actual new items, not just maps that you play in other modes or past games.

[AutomaticDriver]

Do you think I should go ahead and pre-order this game now? Or should I wait till they have an actual release date?

BTW: There shouldnt be a push back on this game, right? I dont want to pre-order and find out in 2 months the game gets pushed back till March 2012.

[Harpua]

You gain nothing from pre-ordering it now, so I'd wait.

As long as the beta is done a few months in advance, and there aren't any game breaking bugs discovered, then I think they will do everything they can to make the first week of November. I don't think they will rush this like they did with MoH though - they'd be foolish to.
