Battlefield 3: DICE does good things

Spluff:
I was always a huge fan of 42, but BF2 didn't appeal to me that much. I'll probably look into this and see how it goes. The trailer didn't excite me much, seems like yet another COD derivation. The stupid over-scripted singleplayer gameplay doesn't appeal to me at all.

I liked the original, but the second (which I believe was made by a different group) wasn't too great. I understand they're abandoning competitive multiplayer for this one, anyway, so that strikes it off my list.

I don't know, really. I value multiplayer as much as the next guy who enjoys his shooters, but I think that games like Battlefield and Call of Duty have to have single-player components  that can stand on its own. I think multiplayer gameplay systems are not (and in all honesty depending on release prices) and should not be the most labor-intensive part of the game's initial development. A lot of developers for shooter franchises these days seem to place the multiplayer component above all else, likely because multiplayer extends the percieved longevity of the game and therefore appears to give more bang for the buck.

To me, however, I don't tend to dwell on a competitive scene too much unless the game I bought was solely designed to be competitive play. And especially for big-name shooter franchises founded on their storytelling component, sometimes it seems that their developer teams have forgotten the importance of an intensely well-crafted yarn. That's why despite the amount of thought and care put into Bad Company 2, I really really yearned for something more. There was so much care put into what little there was of the plot that I felt more of it would have made the game a truly complete shooter.

As for Battlefield 3, a lot of the marketing so far has been geared towards what appears to be a storyline, so fingers crossed.

So more Battlefield 3 goodies coming out of E3. Like this tank battle guaranteed to make you cream your pants.

I want this game now. My PC is already sobbing in fear and I just built it in March.

LTK:
This is impressive. Normally I avoid military shooters like the plague, but Battlefield 3 certainly looks like a game I'd enjoy playing. And it looks really good as well, a quality that seems to be under-represented in the dust-choked world of warfare.

SirJuggles:
I've been playing BF2 a bit lately, and my laptop can barely handle that  :cry:
