I don't know. I enjoy the hype and the fact that it seems that DICE are proud of their product, but so far the only thing they are pimping is the new engine. I like good graphics, sure, but a fancy engine won't make me buy the game if the gameplay is ass. All this BEST ENGINE IN THE WORLD OMG COD SUCKS CUZ IT'S UGLY talk is starting to get on my nerves a bit.

So far, they've shown very little and at the same time they've said a lot of things about Battlefield 3 and the Call of Duty franchise. Either they're very confident about Battlefield 3 or they're concerned about competing against the upcoming Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 3.

Although it may not sell as much as MW3 on consoles, I have a strong feeling it'll absolutely dominate on the PC. As for the gameplay, I'd be happy if it's an elegant balance between Battlefield 2 and Bad Company 2.

Yeah, that whole "us vs them" mentality is starting to wear a little thin, in my humble opinion. I've lost count of how many times somebody from DICE has made some sort of dismissive comment about Call of Duty. Obviously CoD is the juggernaut of the FPS world these days, and everybody loves to relish the role of the underdog, but I think that both games are different enough that they can co-exist peacefully. I played Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 simultaneously last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up doing the same thing with Battlefield 3 and whatever comes next from CoD (assuming that CoD manages to maintain the level of quality that we've seen thus far in its multiplayer).

Id agree with them innovating..

to be honest their gameplay and graphics are very different from MOH or COD..

and it has another feel to it. I like it. I really enjoy it.

And the BF3 Videos are showing some really nice animation realism. Now there is gameplay and GAMEPLAY.. the first one is how the player moves and controls. How the aim works and how the damage and such things like physics work. The latter is how the game plays through... Both are pretty important.

Ive been playing Crysis 2 for sometime now and the graphics, physics, gameplay(aim movements jump firing damage) its all SUPER!!! but the way the game plays as a whole is not brilliant like the rest of it.

Saw the video a few minutes ago. All I've got to say is :woot: !!!

I can't wait for this! I still need to get around to playing Bad Company 2! :p I've played the campaign for about 10-15 minutes and that's about it.

Does anyone have any more info on BF3: Limited Edition? I was thinking about pre-ordering it, but so far I can only find that it comes with the expansion (Back to Karkand) that only gives you extra maps and that's it.

And I'm not a big fan on purchasing map packs, mainly because there's not a lot of servers for them (or with them) on PC; which makes them useless.

i really hope the guns in multiplayer aren't as inaccurate as in that video they really need to fix that... it's terrible how all over the shots are even when zoomed in and scoped and the shots land at the edge of the scopes field of view (even someone shooting while having a panic attack doesn't shoot that bad... it's as if the barrel is made of rubber o___o) ....

I'd like to see some vehicle video as well, maybe the full 12 minute video will have it. In my mind, the vehicles made BF2, and if they are just as prominent in this game as they were in BF2, this game will rule for years...

Getting tired of all this singleplayer bullcrap - they must be hiding some amazing stuff from MP which they dont want to show us yet :(

This looks really great! It really looks like they are giving the singleplayer a real go.

The one thing that bothers me is the hitmarkers. Especially in singleplayer, they really ruin the immersion.

I dont see any other way around it - in battlefield 2 you would have these instances where you would see the impact when a bullet hit the enemy, blood/puff would come out - but the hit didnt really register due to lag or ****ty coding.

Only happens in multiplayer I suppose.

Id love to have the hit markers they have in Kane&Lynch 2 - whenever you hit someone the hitmarker is not in the middle, it is wherever you hit the enemy.

So if you hit the knee the little cross hitmarker will be on his/her knee and not just the middle of the screen.

i really hope the guns in multiplayer aren't as inaccurate as in that video they really need to fix that... it's terrible how all over the shots are even when zoomed in and scoped and the shots land at the edge of the scopes field of view (even someone shooting while having a panic attack doesn't shoot that bad... it's as if the barrel is made of rubber o___o) ....

The guy is spraying like it was call of duty, should be doing short bursts.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195)

      Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
