Battlefield 3 to be revealed

Dublin_Gunner

64 player and no vehicles is pure class. Always great fun n BF2. Mashtuur, Karkand, Sharqi, Jalalabad were all excellent 64 player no vehicle maps.

The thing i loved about the 64 player maps on BF2 was the many many different locations where a really intense firefight would break out. I used to love the whole power struggle in karkand. Teams on either side of the bridge trying there best to break through. There was an intensity in the 64 player games, its felt more like a battlefield. However saying that i also like the longer more strategic 32 battles. I depends on your mood, if you want crazy heart pounding action you play 64 player if you want to be more conservative and team based you play 32. Each has its own charms and thrills

Yeah, The rail crossing in Karkand was always the sweet spot for a really good war. And back then it was not a case of 25 snipers on either side.....absolute great battles.

And the great thing is that we get to do it all over again in BF3, returning to karkand is gonna be a strange feeling!! Id like it if it wasnt a direct copy of the BF2 version. I would really change the map allot of players could enter many of the buildings. I would be great if the city was more destroyed too, kinda like the aftermath of all the matches played there before :P

Looks amazing

If that is gameplay then color me impressed

Dublin_Gunner

Yep, well looking at the vid, it defo looks like gameplay.

Could be pre-rendered, but a good indication. If its real time, its been run on an i7 980x and triple 580 SLI lol

Or a render farm...

128 players? Bloody hell, waiting for a tank must be like a trip to the Dole office

I wouldn't mind playing on 128 player BF2 for that reason. Me + humvee + C4 + queue of the enemy waiting for a tank. If I don't knock them over, I'll jump out, and kill them all.

But 128 only works on maybe 3 maps, and coral sea if the plane respawn was 5 seconds.

Heavy distorted bass all in up that sh*t, thats what I'm talkin bout!

BULLER

I'm wondering if my gtx 465 will be up for this on high settings; looks absolutely incredible!

Wonda-Boy

Ah yeah, Id say that GPU will be fine to run it at a decent setting mate....I hope they have it optimised well and that the AA actually works proper in the game unlike BFBC2.

Anyhow....can wait to unleash my Sandy Bridge on this B!TCH :eek:

I think they have the ranking down to a tee these DICE FOOKS, just as you get to rank 50 a new version of the game is out....although I was the highest rank in 2142 for a while before BC2 came out....but then that NORTHERN STRIKE sh1t surfaced.....I stopped playing BF2 for a while so never got past Captain, and I am rank 50 for a while now in BFBC2.

Well I can max out BC2 on my gtx460 so I'd say you'll be able to. I know my 460 has a higher FP16 texture fill rate than your GTX465, Hence its faster in BC2 in most reviews, but only by a couple of frames - but I'd say you'll be fine for mostly maxed (same as my 460 1GB).

Overclock it a bit and you should get a few more frames out of it.

Wonda-Boy

Looks like I will have to train you all over again in BF3 dubs.....Ahh well, I think this will be my last campaign as Wonda 3oy, might go back to V!P3R.

I'll be the one doing the training - I have a beta code :P

I'd be the opposite on Sharqi versus Oman. Though that may be because I dind't play much of Oman, since it wasn't in rotations much due to its presence in the demo.

Assume we will get more in Future DLCs.

Wake Island tho, Dice must have a hardon for that map.

Felt it was best in 42.

Never gonna beat 42 Wake, map was fantastic in that game. Possibly the most popular BF map? That or Karkand anyway.

VIP3R? Cool.

Wonda-Boy

Yeah syco mate....all the other BF games I was V!P3R in them. I did love that name so I think I will go back to it, then again I love when I am playing BFBC2 and I hammer peeps and the abuse flys at me and they think I am like 13 yrs old or some ****....so funny.

Little do they know....And not only do I have a theme tune with jack black singing WONDA BOY, I believe Tine Tempah has another song out using Wonda boy or some ****. I really should be getting royalties!!!!!! :eek::eek:

BULLER

Carlsberg dont make Battlefield maps, but if they did...Karkand. Nothing will ever beat the intensity, diversity and balance that Karkarnd offered. So happy its making a deservid return.

youcancallmeal

I never really did get all the fanatical love for Strike at Karkand? Sure its a good map but I personally enjoyed the likes of Gulf of Oman or Mashtuur city more?

karma_

Stalingrad in BF1942 was the greatest battlefield map of all time. FACT!

Krieg

I just hope they limit the number of grenades to 1, otherwise karkand will still be a nade fest. The accepted strategy in bf2 was run forward about 15ft and just start lobbing grenades over the buildings while standing beside an ammo box
