New BF3 video out, 12 minutes of gameplay

[GodlessAstronomer]

when its full of bugs and exploits which has been all of them so far

If you didn't like any BF games so far, you probably want to skip this one. Stop touching the stove.

 

[Markbnj]

Why not demo that aspect of the game then?

What I saw in the clip seems just like CoD to me.

It's possible that part just isn't working as well as it needs to be yet.

Did someone pis on your cereal?

No one cares about SP.. well.. a few do, but mostly people buy it for MP action.

False...why else would there be a SP part? :thumbsdown:

So that people with no hand-eye coordination can feel good that they can kill something on their 1546th attempt at playing the SP game.

Nice own goal.
You want to advocate skills as being important, you try ARMA2 2...a mil-sim.
Not a crappy FPS game.

Thanks for the laugh though.

Or...perhaps...for a story? Not everyone plays games to compete against other players over the internet.

yea i'm not sure why people forget that

the only FPS in recent memory i purchased where it was MP driven over SP was Black Ops because all my work buddies play it

i still finished the SP campaign

I would be surprised if 1% of the people who buy any BF title are looking for a single-player story. The game is all about the multiplayer. Always has been.

Well, I haven't played any game in the series. The only FPS I ever bought for competitive play (tournaments and so on) was Quake 3. Now that I don't have as much time to be competitive, I'm more interested in story driven games (but I still enjoy, and am still rather good at, FPS games). I'll read up on the BF series and see what the SP modes were like, and if they are terrible I guess I can give this game a miss.

Oh, and I still played the SP mode of Quake 3 (wanted to get the nightmare emblem on every stage).

I tried ARMA2 and I died quickly...of boredom.

Exactly!

 

[Lonbjerg]

I tried ARMA2 and I died quickly...of lack of skills.

FYP.

Spray 'n Pray games tend to make people (falsely) think they are badasses.
I tried combat IRL.
ARMA1+2 is the closest thing you get on a PC.

Again...nice own goal

The BF series has always been "arcadey". Maybe you should start a new thread for your ARMA2 fanboy trolling.

Based on that, I don't think the BF series really has anything to offer you. The single-player campaign has been at best perfunctory in all the installments of the series. They have to have one, so they put one in, but nobody buys the game for that. If I recall one of the earlier titles, maybe BFV, didn't even really have a single player game, but just some training missions or something along those lines. A BF game is all about large-scale, open-map, squad level multiplayer combat.

Damn man, you're hardcore. You actually tried combat in real life. I've always been to scared to actually try it.

You just "sour grapes" because you tried to pull the "skill" card...and it backfired...move on.

Same thing applies to you too.

No one is forcing you to buy BF3.. and if you are such a big fan of ARMA series... it is fine.

It's was a side-debate...so no "own goal" for me..I didn't make a less than intelligent claim to have it backfire...nice try.

And no I won't be buying this.

Good riddance; one less future whiner on the forums complaining about there being no one-shot kills. Have fun with your snorefest.

hahahha.. funny but not true.. SP can really capitalize on the hardware on your PC and make the graphics and other scenes really stand out. MP is great but it's highly repetitive... I for one, love SP and MP. But I will never play MP until I've beaten SP on Hard (usually first time).

regarding the 12-min trailer, I was kind of disappointed there wasn't much "new" footage; just all the previous trailers combined into one. It still looks great but I hope to see some MP action soon.

That sounds reasonable. The question from my end is: if the game has such an extreme focus on MP, why offer SP teasers in their trailers? Why not some internal multiplayer games (which I am sure they have done?). My thought is: they'll try to get both markets. The player like me (who is interested in a story) and the multiplayer enthusiast as well.

I'm not sure why they chose to focus on the campaign first, but a title like BF has so much of a community and fan base built up around it that they probably feel it's safe to assume everyone who cares already gets what it's about.

Or it's because not every game (even a sequel) is necessarily designed to appeal to the existing fan base.

That's possible too, although I think that would be a mistake on their part if it turned out to be true.

This is not an SP teaser.. think of it like a demo showing all the eye candy and graphical prowess of Frostbite 2 engine, keep in mind that MP uses a different game engine.
