Battlefield 3


Recommended Posts

Bad Company 1 had amazing single player. The first trailer they had showing 2 characters talking with the narrator had me hooked. Loved playing through it and enjoyed way more then the MP. BF2 and 2142 both were leaps and bounds ahead of BC.

Plus new trailer added to OP.

Was just gonna say, Trailers up.

And all I have to say, JETS ARE CONFIRMED!

I saw a fly by, helicopter, tanks(of course), etc. Im glad there actually working truthfully on the PC version because I dont think its possibly to bring jets to the Console, if it is, more power to them, but as of now, I WANT MY BF2 EXPERIENCE BACK!

Oh my goodness! That teaser trailer left a tingling sensation in my... :pinch:

This is the game I've been waiting for. Finally, a true successor to Battlefield 2. Seeing that jet fly in the teaser trailer left me drooling. I really hope they do MP right - so much that I'd rather they scrap the SP campaign and focus on perfecting the same MP recipe that made BF2 so enjoyable.

I think I might even have to buy a new gaming rig for this game.

There was airplanes in 1943 so I don't see why it would be impossible to do jets on the consoles.

The planes in 1943 compared to the Jets in BF2, i believe the jets are much more complex. The planes in 1943 are cartoony and basic.

@Anaron: Same here man. I was planning on getting a 595 GTX once it releases spring/summer but I might just go full out new PC and make it a Bulldozer / Dual GPU Fermi upgrade.

Hmmm dont know, but I do know ill be buying whatever version of this game they will have. Normal / Limited / Special Collectors Edition, etc. I will easily buy the highest version available.

I'll wait until the absolute end to buy the best of the best (within my budget, of course). I won't compromise either. I'll get a high quality headset, gaming mouse/keyboard, 24" monitor, SSD (for faster load times), etc. (Y) :)

I have all that covered haha. 2 24" LED ASUS Monitors, ****ing beauitful. G15 + G700, Astro A40s 2011 Edition Wireless, 2 1TB Blacks in RAID, etc.

So all I need is just a GPU upgrade to be honest, but might go full if I have the money. Would love bulldozer, AMD is making it sound really good and with fusion picking up so quick, I believe bulldozer will be impressive.

Well I haven't ever played 1943 so I don't know how they worked in that game but I don't think jets would be that much harder to make and control. Not that I really care about what they do on the console versions. :rofl:

Haha ok. The planes were basically, up/down/left/right shoot. There was no complexity like missles, cockpit views, targeting system, fly bys, dodging lock on, flares, etc.

I dont think either console can be pushed hard enough so you can actually fly a BF2 jet around the map.

But same with the "i dont care what they do with the console version". This is a PC GAME, console people can go away.

Yeah im waiting for bulldozer i was going to upgrade to Sandybridge but after the faulty hardware fiasco AMD will be my next upgrade.

There was no fiasco, more like a they saw their error and recalled it. It will be fixed soon and then you can have the best again.

I'm gonna say this as nicely as possible: **** you, DICE.

I love BF2 and I've been having a pretty good time with Bad Company 2, but DICE's support just plain sucks. Years waiting for patches, no communication with the community, cancelling stuff left and right... they're the Creative of the games industry -.-

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below.

The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
