I can see a lot of people on here buying this, BC2 is a firm favourite.
I hope it's Bad Company 3 and not just Battlefield 3, i like the SP characters. Bigger Squads would also be a welcome bonus. Prones good and Jets.

Battlefield 3 dev calls competition "lazy"
"They had better watch out. We are coming for them."
It's Battlefield 3 NOT Bad Company 3.
they aren't gonna release the story details just yet though, the characters are probably under wraps. It's obviously a more serious game .... i would have preferred BC3. I'm still warming up to this though.

i would like a more serious game, i only own bad company 2 and gears 1 and 2, i don't own any really serious shooters so this looks perfect for me!
I'm excited for it, i hope it doesn't come out along side more important games like EDF:IA
Just seen the advert inbetween the FA Cup semi and it gave me a semi .... it looks soooooo good!!
Have they released any console footage yet?

I downloaded the 500MB version off LIVE so i could watch it on my big TV with surround..... i then proceeded to do naughty things to my television.
.. i now have a restraining order :-\

Another thing as well is the sun reflecting off the lens of scopes! snipers are gonna be thinking twice about camping! lol
COD is for kids..
Battlefield is for men.
Well because Battlefield offers so much more, from vehicles to teamwork. Many ways to score, many ways to play.
You think you can handle a weapon? try the demo/beta (still no date! sigh) and check out the recoil.
Cod is like a fast run and gun old style deatmatch and battlefield is like a mini battle(on consoles) and miniwar (pc).
Imagine as an engineer getting your recon guy to set c4 charges to your EOD bot and then guiding it in to blow up the enemy.
Mind you I don't know if c4 is exclusive to recon this time,I hope not.
First class hit detection,Bipods, Muzzle flash, Lens glint, tanks, choppers, jets, troop carriers,destruction, big maps, superb visuals, AMAZING sound, Balanced weapons, a game by a team that has been making multiplayers since 2002, and live and breath online. And not to mention the customization you can do with your weapons and vehicles.
Plus there's the co-op and the campaign which Dice have put a lot of effort into.
AND AND AND
''Back to Karkand'' (and expansion not a map pack)
Featuring 4 maps that between them have over 25,000 hours played, plus more vehicles and weapons.
So eh yeah, there's a few reason! lol
lol damn you Craig, came on to post that !! nice one lad!
A mate who works at EA Guilford said that in Well it might be in Japan, but it certainly ain't in Europe and the US!
Medal of Honor Disc Required to Play BF3 Beta Early
Warning: this article could be unpleasant news for some Battlefield 3 beta enthusiasts. In a recent tweet from Battlefield, it has been revealed that you will indeed need the Medal of Honor disc if you wish to gain early access to the Battlefield 3 beta.
The conversation reads as follows:
CodyReed:
@Battlefield, I bought MOH: LE for the 360. How exactly will I access the Battlefield 3 Beta early? Will I need the MOH disc?
Battlefield:
@CodyReed, Yes you will need the disc, you will have to play it off of there ^CT
On a good note, they have yet to announce the beta start date and by the looks of it, you have yourself at least a week or perhaps two to re-purchase Medal of Honor before time is up.
I was avoiding this lol
Bad music choice!
Is there going to be a 360F platoon?
* Fixed occasional client crash when reviving.
* Fixed killcam showing glitched area under map if your killer is dead.
* Issue with spawning on dead squad mates fixed.
* Fixed a bug where shooting at a moving enemy could cause more than the intended amount of damage.
* Crosshairs for shotguns have been replaced with a new, thinner, art.
* A subtle low health screen effect has been added.
* Tweaked scores of Medals and Service Stars.
* Tweaked the Rank progression.
* Pushing prone on console will not play the animation twice.
* Fixed loss of Squad Leader after EOR at some times.
* Framerate stability fixes.
* The 3D spotting icons has been tweaked to better match the target’s visibility. Icons will show frequently less on mostly obscured targets.
* Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after round transition.
* Fixed issue with crosshair disappearing after trying to deploy while the countdown timer still active.
* Squad list now shows specializations chosen, VOIP activity and dead squad mates.
* Non working options in squad menu fixed: "Private" flag and "Switch Teams.
Amazing how people are freaking and canceling :)
Plus the Cod fanboys are out on the hunt!
good idea, if only MW had a beta. Oh well, that'll be full of cheats come release and B3 will hopefully be free.
Console Battlefield 3 to include optional high-res textures (http://www.giantbomb.com/news/console-battlefield-3-to-include-optional-high-res-textures/3727/)I'm stoked about this. High res textures ftw!
Well it's allover now :( beta closed.
High res pack is gonna burn people using only the 4gb slim 360, especially if they have to install the whole disc. That wasn't a great move by MS. Oh well 18 days until it's hands :)
is the beta still up ?
Now the question is, who's getting Battlefield 3 for sure?

Well now you got me going in my own opinion there will always be haters some people will hate the game mainly because of the Beta and that's fine in my own experience I didn't see much wrong with it I fell through the map once and that was it I will say that I didn't play a whole lot I sure wasn't a level 40 this was my own choice I felt like wasting time on all that gear just for it to reset when I actually get the whole game was pointless but in the time I played I had only that one problem. Second some people will hate it because they are big fans of COD series which is all fine and dandy I don't claim to be a fan boy nor act like one I do choose Battlefield over any other game though solely because I don't like the fast pace shoot 'em up of all the COD games I like to use strategy and have real objectives other than just slaying the enemy I would like to make the point this is not me talking down about MW games I have 2 and enjoy it with friends and will probably end up buying 3 so I like both I just tend to favor Battlefield more. So will BF3 beat MW3 I don't really care because either way I'll be playing both. But as far as some saying they cancelled their orders for BF3 is rubbish. I think it will be an epic game regardless if it wins the war between them. So see you on the Battlefield.
That trailer made me feel like right now I'm dating the boring half decent looking sister(BFBC2) when I should be sleeping with the smoking hot evil sister(BF3) hahaha. But that was awesome the wait is becoming unbearable this week needs to go by faster.
Also I'd be down for a set up like that. If the Reaper Crew does exist though it would be known for getting sh*t done and I don't care about being Captain I just want to be the member in it known as Reaper lol and the name of it isn't even for my name pleasure it's mainly because we will be bringing death to their faces in the form of bullets rather than a scythe which would be awesome to lol a scythe bayonet.
JT's approaching the annual I-Don't-Want-To-Play phase we all go through. I went through mine after grinding for my Gears 2 wings. Give it a few weeks and it will pass. :-*
That's true, but I'm just feeling a bit fed up at the moment. My hour's worth of the BETA just involved me getting killed over and over again, it felt like playing COD instead of Bad Company which I really suck at.
When's Soul Calibur V and Tomb Raider out, they'll cheer me up?
This is awesome makes me laugh every time.

and i can't believe you've not watched SP, the world and his emu have seen Mr.Pilgrim.
I'll be on a lot more over the weekend we need to squad up.Mable commands you to get on right now :P
I'm actually going to get on once my wife finds clothes lol which should be soon.Tell her to find them faster! Mable needs company!!!!
Got mine this morning ;D installing HD now then its on!!add me Machete Mable and we shall play this afternoon when i get home from Astronomy and lunch with the girl.
Got mine this morning ;D installing HD now then its on!!
i didn't realise peopple were having issues with it, everyone i know loves it.
Oh my god, how sh*t are the graphics, looks like Perfect Dark! :(looks like someone didnt install the HD pack lol
JT hates games that have had a BETA running for a month yet the servers don't seem to let me in, didn't have this problem with Gears 3
Yeh, but surely that's what the BETA was for?
Yeh, but surely that's what theBETABUTT was for?
Aaaarrrrggggghhhhhh.That may not be an EA problem. It could be on your side. I used to get that all the time on my PS3, found out it was the routers fault.
I come online to try and get a game before doing some dinner and what do I get?
"Failed to connect to EA Online. Please try again" over and over again
I HATE EA!

Jaynestown, stop being so picky and ripping the game apart cause you're getting your butt kicked by it :P
Only problem i've had with is the problems with Jets, like people instantly shooting me down, even with my flares. Something seems to be way off when i wait forever to shoot off my flares and then i still get hit 3 seconds later by the missile. Also getting instantly locked onto. I was in the air for 3 seconds at the beginning of the match, THE BEGINNING, first in the air on my team, just over the freaking mountain and the douche had already locked onto me, makes no freaking sense!
Chopper controls are hell to get used to. More akin to real life chopper controls than what BFBC2 controls were. Those choppers were cake to fly, these ones took me and President about 30 minutes to get the hang of. If you're too impatient for that then you should take up knitting.
Graphics are awesome, especially with the HD pack. It doesn't look dated or anything. Not as grand a step over Bad Company 2 but there's some noticeable change. People need things to hate on so they hate.
I need more people to play this game with, Failed wont accept my friend requests cause he's a meanypoopoopants and i've only played with Reaper since it came out. WTF guys!
And as proof...

So yet another game released without adequate servers (Test Drive Unlimited 2 anyone?)
Wonder if the same will happen with MW3?
it's opening weekend, even i've had a little trouble finding a match and my connection is teh ninja. JT hosts all the time, his conn is top notch so he shouldn't have too many problems. It's just so many people are hammering it, that it's hard to not find a full server. MW3 will sort the chaff, we can all go back to enjoying B3.
Helicopters are a pain, i could barely learn to fly before i hit a crane.

Shall we all Squid Up Tuesday from 8:30 and play some Conquest?
I joined looking forward to playing together as a squad hopefully.
I suck at driving any air vehicle the controls feel so weird to me. But tanks I'm a beast in just haven't got in them a lot but going to start to get my kills in them way up.
Back in the box it shall go, wonder how much I can get trade in for it?
I just can't stand this game any longer and here's why:
I'm gonna try and do the campaign over the weekend and then trade it in next week :)Sounds like what I'm doing with my copy of MW3.
I just can't stand this game any longer and here's why:
I can get £37 for it if I trade it in for Skyrim at GAME, but I don't really want Skyrim... what to do?
That shift is getting stronger!!!!
Which one is Seine Crossing again?That shift is getting stronger!!!!
Ssshhh Craig, I just found some positives on that particular map, I'm sure as soon as I get back to Seine Crossing I'll revert back to type! :D
Edit: Speak of the devil, next map, Seine Crossing!
Edit: Edit: I backed out to avoid my disappointment returning, everything about that map is awful (see, back to normal :))
Everybody always leaves my squad! What's a radio beacon?get a better squad? Seems like you've been having some really bad luck Jayney. Have you stolen any candy from little kids lately and got a karmatic shift on you?

Nope, I've been very generous lately. I don't have anyone to play with, everyone seems to be playing MW3 or Skyrim. I am enjoying it a bit more now though but I still think it's way too dark and I really don't like some of the lighting effects, it definitely gives me a headache. I will try and complete campaign today and then I can make a decision about what to do with it.

I'm sure PresidentReaper (http://live.xbox.com/member/PresidentReaper) would love to play with you. It's the only game he plays. ;)Plus you can always use the Co-op Board (http://www.360fahrenheit.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0) to recruit some squadmates.
Yay, found something I liked, parachuting off of the dam :)Yeah, now that is fun!
Damn, the trade in deal for this and Skyrim ran out today. Just tried playing a multiplayer game and it just really makes me angry, knew I should have got rid of it at the weekend >:(You can add me if you ever need some squad mates. The game is definitely more fun with others even if you're having your arse handed to you.
Extended my longest Headshot from 642m to 774m. Huge shot on a guy running towards an objective. Angled moving target? no problem.Okay failed, we have a mission for you if you so choose to accept it.
Also sniped a helo out the sky ..... with a tank >_<

Seine Crossing=windows, break the glass.
i thought the hype was 'greatest online shooter'... believe it :P
Battlefield 3 sales hit 8 million
3 million added to launch week tally
Battlefield 3 has now sold eight million copies since launch, publisher EA has revealed.
CFO Eric Brown made the announcement during today's Baird Technology Conference in San Francisco, as noted by GameInformer.
As previously reported, the DICE-developed shooter sold five million copies during its first week on sale in late October, meaning it's added a further three million since.
Brown added that EA has now shipped a total of 12 million copies of the game to retailers.
Patch and Karkand dlc ready to go:
Go to in game store and download ''multiplayer update'' and your good to go, 2gb.
I'd post up the patch notes but for some reason it won't let me!!
Try again later.
Alright rank 40, 4 and half ranks to go and then the fun begins :)
Crazy list eh, now where the hell is that dlc!
I need to get back into BF3. I don't think I've played it since Christmas as I got sucked into Skyrim and KoA after that. Those RPG's suck away your life.
Looks like they're releasing a "Premium" edition of the game that includes the main game, premium membership (so, all DLC - existing and planned), plus the multiplayer "headstart" pack that lets you catch up with people's unlocks who have been playing since release. Could only see the Origins (PC) price, but it looks like it's going to cost how much a new title releases for - £40/$60 or so. Not a bad deal if you want a new FPS and missed out on BF3, but seems like they're struggling to push the franchise after they let slip they were already releasing BF4 on current gen consoles.
