EB Games Expo 2011: Battlefield 3 Interview With Lars Gustavsson

@cornbeef5 because he has a xbox lol and like most xbox users no one seems to put blame on xbox that they are the only system(console or computer) that has to pay to play games online lol

BF online fees xD LOL i think _Woody_ means COD ELITE and OMFG love the sky diving i hope everyone remembers there how to use the parachute *Squish* sound xD

@_Woody_ where did you hear that from? BF has no online fees at all... you pay for the game and thats it

i think the fact that you have to pay to play either of these games online is an absolute JOKE. You should never have to pay anything beyond the retail price. ill hire both for the campaigns but EA and IW can jam their subscription where the sun dont shine.

Hey, why all the fighting about MW3 Vs BF3 sales etc. Who cares? Only the people that own the IP, that's who cares. You guys don't need to worry about that, just buy one or both of them and enjoy. You fanboys need to start appreciating the benefits of competition. Embrace your PS3/xbox, MW3/BF3 cousins. Without them buying in to the competition, your console/game developers would get lazy.

@klusps Thanks :)

Really nice interview! Lots of interesting questions instead of the same boring old questions being asked over and over again.

@assasinaaron It sells more because it's more popular, like for example real hip hop and fake hip hop like kanye west. Rappers who rap about life / politics will not gain as much fame as much as rappers who rap about getting laid/clubs/money/cars etc. But I loved cod from COD1-COD4, from MW2 it just got repetitive.

I'm so glad Lars Gustavsson is still around for BF Games and made excellent job but, without him.... BF games will suck and we have to stick with COD Games. >_> Anyways great interview and can't wait to get the game! :D BF3 Rules! xD

I noticed a couple background graphic glitches in this video. However I will still buy it and play it until 11/7/11 and trade it in for MW3 the next day.

who said "beyond the call" was referencing CoD??? You are just assuming that one

I just love the Battlefield Franchise. I have been addicted to Battlefield since Battlefield 2 back in 2005 and they just keep getting better and better.

i neeeeeeeed this game

I already know I'm getting this game instead of MW3. But the whole "Beyond The Call" ad and other comments made by EA have really just cheapened the game. I think it's just making them look childish and stupid. Grow up EA, just let this high quality game speak for itself. EA needs to back off and just focus on publishing and creating a larger mindshare though positive actions for their own game rather than trying to say that COD is a bad game etc.

Great interview

Great interview

@snakehead11 this shows how uneducated cod player is, above and beyond the call is quoted line from THE MEDAL OF HONOR [not the game] description, make sense now ?

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

"Above and beyond the call" makes absolutely no sense. It just shows how egotistical BF3 supporters and even the developers themselves are that they think they are superior. I hope MW3 outshines BF3 so it can blow up in their faces and be proved wrong.

I KNOW IKNOW. BF3 IS GONNA SELL AT MOST QUARTER OF COD'S TOTAL SALES. IN FACT ONLY AROUND QUARTER OF PEOPLE ON THE EARTH ARE SMART GENERALLY. SO THE RATIO TELLS SMTHING WHAT REMAINING 3/4 ARE

@assasinaaron I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU M8!!! I DO LOVE COD. AND DYING TO KILL THAT BASTARD MAKAROV. AND WANNA KNOW RUMORS ABOUT GHOST'S DEATH IS TRUE OR NOT. AND HOW CPT PRICE GOT OLDER, WHAT HAPPENED TO RAMIREZ. ROACH. NIKOLAI, SOAP. YET THAT IS JUST 6 HOURS OF MATTER.

its so true. I cant remember there ever being this many amazing games coming out.

i kinda like how only 24 players on console, will require more tactics and dying will matter more so which means gotta be better in squad which i love

After that shameful open beta, i have no problem slapping the management upside the head

19 million dog tags taken.. oh yea!

nice details even on low res

@TonnFool23 True. However, selling better shows that people like it better. And ultimately that's what gaming is about, delivering what people want. It is a competition, but I like both COD and BF. Don't be a fanboy. They are both great franchises! Let us just enjoy these games guys.

@ YoungSinatra25 won't be buying BF3 either. Besides it's not a Bad Company game. There are still a lot of people playing BFBC1 and 1943 on PS3.

i love this guy. very open and very honest... that's what you call a real gamer... and wow a game maker... salute to you sir...

omg, i can't wait... but honestly i hope i have a pc that would be able to play this game... i only have 360 and ps3...

@InfamousPhilthy Game sales affect your personal experience with a game? What a shame. Not us.

Great interview. Love the questions - unique and interesting.

THOSE GUYS HAVE DONE AMAZING THING BY CREATING SUCH GAME THAT OUTSTANDS FROM EVERY SINGLE GAME OUT THERE MADE FOR MERE CONSOLES.

Just because it may sell more doesn't mean it's better (COD), that's like saying justin bieber or pitbull are better than Mozart or Led Zeppelin.

@InfamousPhilthy Enjoy your Money Wasted 3 = MW3.

@InfamousPhilthy If your talking about sales, then yes Mw might outsell battlefield. But that does not make it a better game. That just means more Moms and Dads will be buying there little kids mw for xmas like they did for the past 4 years.

he did not mention MW3 at the end of this video ,,,,, which means MW3 LOST yeaaaaaaaaah MW3 are NOOBS have this baby , Above and Beyond the Call ....... yeah

@InfamousPhilthy Why are you even here? MW2.1 is a game for stagnant game intended as a testament of a game for those who really can see the same graphic, gameplay, style and system over and over again, and its quite an achievement to see that people like you defend & brag about it, even though what you said does not bring you a free MW2.1 or elite DLC, ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL, play Battelfield 3 XD

pisses all over the mw2.1 update

No Bf3 for me... I'm poor. Bc2 is going to be so dead come Oct. 25...=(

Now this is an humble honest answer Lars Gustavsson gave. Unlike MOH Tier 1 where they have actors on steroid talking about BS. lol

Pre-Ordered (^o^)-b

Just ten more days guys!!! and the engine for the beta was like 3 months old and i know dice is gonna polish this game up real nice.

cant wait for this game. had so much fun on the beta. so happy they did a public beta to narrow down on all bugs. very good development and cant wait for final product.

This gives me hope for the future of game development.

I cant Wait to 21/10 to play th SP first ^^
