Trailers: Battlefield 3: Guillotine Teaser

[Techno Squidgy]

Has everyone already forgotten that Origin is needed to play this?

If it's not on steam i just don't care.

Guys. Grow up. Sure Origin has it's flaws but it's not the antichrist.

EDIT: Forgot to put what I actually wanted to say!

This game looks like it's going to be awesome! I really think it might manage to outdo MW3 on all fronts (not including sales). Regardless I'm still going to buy and play both games. I'm not stupid enough to limit myself to one series.

Their (EA's) news are terrible!

I am so conflicted as to whether i should get this game

oh the conundrum!

There I fixed your conundrum

Eh... There's something that's been bugging me about these gameplay trailers.

The reason they look really cool is because there heavily scripted,
and whenever I imagine myself playing the level I'm watching, I can't help but find it boring.

For example, the trailer implies that there is a sequence where you work with another soldier to set up, load, and fire a portable mortor. Barring a mini-game that would break the photo-realism, this will probably be done entirely in cut-scene, with maybe a couple button presses to trigger them. Before that, you're just running down a hill, and while this could be a sequence where you have to dodge enemy fire, it's more likely you'll just be pressing the left stick forward for a minute.

He wasn't firing the mortar, he just saw the guy shelling on his way to the front.

EDIT: I liked these trailers before they became mainstream.

Does not liking anything mainstream make you feel indie in the pants?

Grow up. These trailers are awesome whether they're mainstream or not.

... Really? Are you serious?

Somebody does not understand humour.
That said, you used some form of sarcasm, which sometimes is really hard to read on a forum if you're quickly scanning an entire thread.
So while the joke's on him, you could post "/sarcasm" or something next time

Also, about the mortar: if you re-watch it, you clearly see in the lower-right corner your own hand, giving a mortar shell to the guy. So definitely some scripted action there, I guess.

My point is that Steam doesn't ask that you allow it to monitor your usage every program on your computer and transmit that data to it's masters just for the sake of "market research".

Y'know, like Origin does.

I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere on this very forum that there are ways to prevent it from doing so.

Nice vid, too bad only about 70% of it was actual game footage the rest advertisement and credits.

Does anyone remember the first Battlefield, with a sense a bit of a silly sense of humour and large expansive maps (which were maybe a bit sparsely populated but nevertheless better than the various corridors you normally find), what happened to that game, why do we have to play another 'gritty', 'realistic' war-is-hell bland nonsense. I want to single-handedly assault an enemy castle with a lasertargetpaintermissilething and destroy an armoured regiment on my lonesome. Not this. So there.

Actually Steam does, it's all there in the Terms of Sevice! The only difference is Steam has better defined the systems it wants to monitor (Your processor, graphics card, Hard Drive Space etc.) Whereas Origin were more vague on what exactly they would be monitoring, but both sets of data are going to be used for exactly the same thing (the ever lauded, yet elusive 'Market Research') So it's pretty certain that they're collecting exactly the same data.
Remember, to the guys in EA you are just customer #2,675,403. We don't care about any of your personal, compromising information... Harry!

And you're going to need Steam to play Modern Warfare 3 what's your point?

My point is that Steam doesn't ask that you allow it to monitor your usage every program on your computer and transmit that data to it's masters just for the sake of "market research".

Y'know, like Origin does.

That EULA was changed awhile ago.

The point is that EA's vague terms allow them to gather a much wider spectrum of information about me, straying into information I don't want them to know. It's not about what they could do with it, it's the principle of the thing - I value my privacy.

Anyone listen to this while being jacked into headphones... what was that, WHAT!?!

oh the conundrum!

Pretty much my sentiments too.

They have such lovely trailers and I'm dying for some more BF2-esque action... but it's like they pick you up with each trailer only to let you fall with the next announcement.

So after this trailer can we expect another heartbreaking announcement? "Only EA sanctioned mice allowed as peripherals", maybe? (I know it's a bad line but I couldn't have even come up with something as ridiculous as "only a web-based game browser" so they set the bar pretty high)

My DRM is better than your DRM!

So there!

Snip

You have to play this using an old Atari 2600 joystick.

I know they're going for realism, but it's getting to the point where it's actually hard to see. What's the point of good graphics if you can't make out what's in front of you?

No, I remember when that was a spin-off series called Bad Company. I remember when the first Battlefield was Battlefield 1942.
