RealOxymoron's vids are console.

[maturin 12]

The gameplay in the beginning of the middle video astounded me with its mediocrity. It looks like it has nothing to recommend it over CoD SP, only with AI that looks stupid as well as just acting stupid.

Edit: Those are console videos? Are yous sure those aren't PC videos with the settings on minimum? My low setting Arma looks better than that. Or Half-Life 2, for that matter. The second video looks better, but the sound is miserably mismatched.

You can see the console button messages.

The jet video is PC as far as I can tell.

[viper[cww] 14]

Jet one is pc, haven't watched the others... why does it matter if its console? ...same sh!t...

[lNTRUDER 26]

I got BF3 yesterday and it's truly EPIC !!

...for a non-BIS game of course :D

[hellfire257 3]

I wonder if it's possible to block Origin or make it so it sends false info...

Only tried the SP campaign abit this morning and so far it's mind numbingly scripted. Press SPACE to jump here; LMB to intiate and automatically win grappling with terrorist; Don't stray 5m from intended fighting area or mission fail :(

Did I mention the AI? Friendly AI seem impervious to damage and enemy AI leaves itself wide open for attack. Enemy bodies disappear when killed in tiny, low entity areas -seriously?

I quit before the "get the sniper" out of boredom - at this point I'd rather play against Mp style bots then this scripted nonsense. People criticise RO2 for lack of SP substance but at least those bots play out dynamically and you are free to engage from any direction you chose.

I'm sure Ill get money's worth in MP, but damn SP really is dying -thank gawd for Arma.

Generally yes but I do not think BF3 should be slammed for its lacks in SP. While BC1-2 had SP campaigns, BF1942 and BF2 did not, so any Sp in BF3 is positive as is the co-op feature. At least there are more options.

[maturin 12]

I guess that's one way to look at it, especially since BFBC2's SP was also so dismal. At least the game can claim to be stand on MP alone when the MP isn't as miniscule in scope as CoD.

So the Sniper on the rooftop scene -famous from all the trailers - I decided not to crouch with my squad and jump to the highest point I could and just wait. Grabbed a cup of coffee. Came back and nothing happens. After rejoining the intended scene by crouching, I got shot :rolleyes:

DICE needs to pay me for my bit-part time as an extra in their 'movie'.

Edit: I seem to remember being able to host my own game with bots in BF2 -is this not possible anymore?

I wouldn't be surprised if there was no more BOT option if so i am disappoint. :(

I just played the COOP campaign and it was totally awesome :D

Now i just need a new pair of eyes.

All that Bloom/massive contrast/lightrays/effects :(

[froggyluv 2136]

Man, campaign is garbage. I opted to stand maybe 10m behind my squad whom were in a shootout in a hallway. Waited like 5 minutes to see what they weren't able to hit -turns out the enemy was literally a few meters away -but they must turn off hit detection if player isn't directly involved in firefight.

They would have shot at each other endlessly without one bullet hit - simply aweful (mispelling intended).

[roberthammer 582]

Can you tell me how the coop work? we are able to host own coop? or we need to join into some public server?

[Mr. Charles 22]

There are 6 missions (5 infantry, 1 chopper), which you can host on your own PC. Matchmaking happens through battlelog and you can ask friends on BL to join in.

Sadly, i got matched to a brazilian on my first COOP match, so i wouldn't say that BL finds a person near you, rather than taking the first dude, who wanted to play this particular mission on the same difficulty level.

[purepassion 22]

just finished the jet mission. And damn that opening cutscene was NICE! :D

propably because its been the most realistic one so far :rolleyes:

[frostwyrm333 1]

so I tried it out and I can say I dont understand what is all the hype about. Its lame scripted CoD clone, linear, unrealistic, gun sounds make counter strike seem realistic, stupid suicadal enemies jumping from everywhere, dying after one shot to the leg..

and multiplayer is also dumbed down. There is no sense of tactics or anything.

They were trying so hard to hide outdated graphics.

When a room has 5 windows during the bright day but it still is pitch black inside that room - you know devs are getting really desperate to pretend the game looks better than it does.

They produced quite the opposite effect.

But there was so much hype about BF3's GRAPHIX!!1

Can't run away from 7 years old console hardware

Apart from all those sunglare, dust 'n' dirt reflections on the screen (btw WTF is that anyways!?!? :D I aint lookin trough some stupid glasses!!1! :P) and neat particle effects, the true textures and models are actually quite awful. Looking just 50m to the right or left unleashes good ol' low res. texture maps ^^

Note to myself: Stop trying to sweep away those spawn-parties... :rolleyes:

It was still built for ancient hardware thats why it tries to hide its outdated textures and polycounts.

I really hate DICE gun modeling design looks so generic.

[metalcraze 290]

Sounds also seem to suck

I hear gunfire here and it is the sound of all MoHs, CoDs and BFs. Generic.

JSRS easily has more powerful sounds than "ploink ploink pop pop" of BF3's M4s
