The original BF and BF2 are the only video games I have ever played, but goddamn did I ever play them.

I just bought an Xbox 360, so this news makes me very happy. I might have to get my old college "clan" (god that sounds so gay) back. We were [KOK]...

ETA: first post on the gaming board, BTW

AJF I must say the movement looks less "clunky" then what we have seen in MOH and BC. The game shows much promise. I think the generl public has been waiting for a "COD killer " and I for one think some competition is a good thing for gamers. IW and Treyarch cant rest on their laurels.

Going to pre-order it this weekend if I can.

IW, 3arc and activision really need to start thinking about trying harder with the next MW

yeah but YouTube quality isn't as good. if you're on your phone I'd say wait until you're at a computer.

They really fricked the PC crowd with MW2, don't think I'll ever buy another COD product from them.

Here is an article with the producer of the frostbite 2 engine. LINK

quote:

PCMag: Are you at worried about how consoles are going to be handle this, how do you think it going to translate? PB: I think it's going to translate well, since we've built console games before, so we know what we can and can't do. The whole engine is designed to be scaleable from PCs to consoles, so I'm not too worried about it. It's just the question on where do you draw the line on the feature sets. The experience should be the same, so we won't remove the animation system from the consoles, we won't remove the structure from the consoles—all the components will be there it's just a question of the quality of the different platforms.


Features should be the same, only graphics are going to be the main difference between consoles and PCs.

Yeah but normally game companies use quarters like Q1, Q2, etc. It doesn't necessarily fit into our seasons. I'm hoping they meant Q3 and not Q4...

Four free classic BF2 maps and free weapons with preordering the limited edition at no extra cost. I don't care if there are T-shirts or helmets or humvee tire irons that come with it later.

And for the release time, all I've heard so far is that they want to release with the big boys in fall, and to me that means Call of Duty which is usually in early November.
