Thoughts On the Battlefield 3 Patch

The Big Battlefield 3 patch has been released for PS3 and PC users last week, and everyone seems to have an option about it. Some love, many seem to be pissed about it. Me? I like it but do have some things I don't like. I have notice much gameplay wise, I really don't pay that much attention to the guns and the way they handle. I did notice the F2000 was not the same, I'm going to take the suppressor off to see if that helps before i go switching guns. I do notice the amount of USAS user have greatly dropped. And the new map look is great. I do not like that claymores now go away  after you die, causing me from stopping using them altogether other than just using them on some maps. I don't care much for the new substitution business, a new way for EA to get more money. EA should give me the $14 for unlocking all the items for the classes I have done that with. And finally the rent-a-sever, I have mixed feelings over it. One, it's is a great thing to have on a console, you can just have a game with you best buds, although you gotta pay for it. But DICE has messed up how to make your sever private (check out the video below to see how to make it private). Also you can get dropped into via quick match a sever where the renter does not want you there and get kicked, this can be fixed with a "join EA/DICE severs only" option on quick match. Some of the non-EA/DICE severs are great, with tickets going into the 1000's. So with the build up and what seems forever for it to be released, the patch in the over all is great, yet with a few missteps. Battlefield 3 has greatly benefited because of it.

Battlefield 3 Gulf of oman trailer and Battlefield 1943 free to ps3 BF3 owners

DICE released a new trailer for "Back To Karkand" add on coming next month to Battlefield 3. New Vehicles  including hover jets are coming. Remember, if you got the limited edition, you'll be getting this for free, and a week early for ps3 owners, and talking about ps3 owners...

EA is making Battlefield 1943 free to PS3 owners after all, after a class action law suit was made against them. The game was original to be made free to PS3 owners of Battlefield 3 but was pulled. Now after complaints and lawyers, EA was wised up and is giving us the game. here's the info and when you can get yours.

Battlefield 3 (PS3) review

 The Battlefield games have been a PC gaming staple for years. The series has been a multiplayer oriented game for years with a single player that is just multiplayer with bots. DICE and EA have been trying to get the Battlefield series a foothold on consoles with that god awful Battlefield 2 rehash and the Bad Company series. But Battlefield 3 not only is a attempt to make the series a console juggernaut, but also try to make a great campaign, let's see if Battlefield 3 does this.

Before I talk about the campain, I'm not a hardcore military shooter fan. The only Military shooter i like in both single player and Online is Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare It has been the standard barer for me as the perfect military shooter, and no game (not even MW2) has been able to beat it. Battlefield 3's single player does not do this. It seems to me to follow the cookie cutter story line that CoD4 seems to have made, there Muslim terrorist getting weapons from Russians, and they give them a nuke, and it goes off. At some point you face the Russians. There is also good Russians as well. It is the same old lack of storyline creativeness that makes Battlefield 3 Single player just another disappointment to me. Don't get me wrong I like the single player, I just would like something different storyline wise. 

Now we get to the meat of Battlefield 3, the multiplayer. You have your choose of ether CO-OP, which 2 people take on mission to unlock weapons you may or may not even need, and multiplayer. The MP is made up OF 5 Modes, Conquest, a battlefield classic, where you fight to keep control points under control. Rush where the attackers attack and take down M-Coms while the defenders prevent that from happening. Of course you know what team deathmatch is, and Squad Rush and Squad deathmatch, is a 4 on 4 version of the other 2 big versions. MP can get intense, there is nothing like being in a drag out battle in conquest mode trying to take over a small alley way. There are plenty of vehicles to master, tanks, planes, choppers, jeeps, and anti-air. Some are easy to operate, while others like chopper and jets you need some practice, which you can only do in MP due to a lack of a skirmish mode. While there are a lack of made you own class like in MW2, the classes (assault/medic, engineer, support/demolition, recon) have a lot of customization. You can customized (via weapon unlocks by getting kills and ranking up like COD) each class to you taste, and what the current battle you need, you can change weapons and more while waiting to repawn, which i do believe you can't do in any pre-MW3 game (i'm waiting for it to come). You need to have a stinger instead of a rpg, you can change that. Need to use mortars instead of claymore, you can change that. Battlefield 3 multiplayer is amazing and stands up well to nay CoD game.

Battlefield has lived up the hype, it is a great game. I really enjoy it, specially the MP. I will be enjoying this game for many months. As for it being better than Modern warfare 3? Well I'll have to wait for MW3 to come my way.

Modern Warfare 3 launch trailer released today.

More Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Videos

in an attempt  to remind us that MW3 is coming soon in the week that Battlefield 3 comes out, Activision has released the MW3 launch trailer today. I'm hoping that the story is much better than mw2. I'm also interested in if sledgehammer games can fit in infinity ward's shoes.I'm on the fence on getting it, but I'm sure the game will do very well.

Battlefield 3 Multiplayer trailer with mini DLC preview

Battlefield 3 is coming next week, soon you get to enjoys massive maps, shitload of vehicles, and the the battlefield game play battlefield fans know and love. the multiplayer trailer was released yesterday and like the others it looks amazing.It also includes a min-preview of the back to karkand DLC, free for those who pre-order Battlefield 3 (i'm one of those, getting the ps3 version, by the way, I have a PS3 now). Seeing how I never got to talk about the BF3 beta (no internet) I/talk about in brief. I thought it was ok, metro, the map, could have been better, but I liked what I seen. If you new to the whole Battlefield world, it's consist of two teams, and you win by ether gaining control of the points on the map, or loose all your teams tickets, which you loos by teammate and your deaths. Can't wait for this games, going to be great\

Battlefield 3 video leaked

3 videos of Xbox 360 gameplay of Battlefield 3 has been leaked today from reddit. The videos shows jet gameplay and start menu, building damage (above), and single player gameplay. As for it being real, I don't know, but it looks like the real thing. Jet Fighter looks great, as well as destroying buildings. This is one game I'm looking forward to.







  

The Fall 2011 Game Preview

It's the unofficial beginning of Fall today, and fall is when all the big games come out of there develpoer hidey holes, to be embrace (or criticized) by thousands of gamers, let's see what's a coming.

September 

     

these 4 game are starting the season off tomorrow. I'm sure many a PS3 fanboy are just waiting to get there hands on  resistance 3. The other 3 have been geting good buzz as well

  

these games round out September. Gunstringer is geting good buzz, I'm going to be getting the demo to see what's all about. I have only played demos of ICO ans shadow, but if I had a PS3 i would be getting that collection. X-men destiny has not been on my radar, but may pick it up later at a cheaper price. And Gears 3, the "end" to the series comes with a improved horde mode and lots of grubs that need killing, Will we find out what fienx's dad is up to, or see what he looks like, and will we find out why the locus queen is not a locus? All will be revealed later this month

October

    

October will see some heavy hitters come out. Spider-Man Edge of time will surly bring in the spidey fans (i'm a spidey fan, yet don't care for the games) Rage was been getting great buzz and is on my want list.  Foza 4 is also on my want list and i'm curious about how the game works with kinect. If it;s ant thing like kinect joyride I;m sticking with my controller. Batman returns in Batman Arkham city, this time with more villains that need a good old fashioned Batman beating. 2 first party games, Ratchet and clank all for one and kriby's return to dreamland will bring in the ps3/wii faithful.  Dance Central 2 will get the those of you that like dancing games to boogie woogie boogie. And the first shot in the well over hype "BATTLEFIELD 3 VS MODERN WARFARE 3" war will be made by BF3. I'm choosing BF3, because I love vehicle combat in my Muliplayer gaming.

November

MW3 enters into the battle in Nov hoping to keep it's crown. Many will be enter the world of Skyrim, my pick to win many GOTY awards. Halo CE returns with both classic and HD modes.
