Battlefield 3 Pre-Orders Up More Than 700% Vs. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in 2010. Very good news to hear. Hopefully it will be a good dogfight this year between the FPS games.

Dayummm... already? I'm curious what the end result will be. Looks like that battle with MW3 in sales will be abit closer than I thought.

Which indicates 700% increase in patches is my guess...

This. It's months from release and it has that many more preorders? Guess people are tired of CoD and looking for a new game or something. I'm preordering it myself as soon as I upgrade my GPU, which I hopefully will do sometime this summer.

A bit early to preorder if you ask me, but that game so far seems worth a $5 deposit sometime from me in a few months.

$100 million dollar ad campaigns will have that effect.

They actually aren't spending that much, it was a misquote: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/712382/battlefield-3-to-be-the-biggest-launch-in-eas-history/

The game does look fantastic. I have been following up on it with gameplay video previews of it for the PC. I hope to try it out when it is released.

Lot's of people crossing over from BO to Battlefield 3.

I just hope these COD gamers know this is a teamwork game, I hate it how I get shot with 4 medics next to me yet nobody revives me, or fixes me tank, or gives me ammo, or just sits on a ridge with a sniper the entire game, or ... /rant

That's really impressive, it should crush the sales of BC2. It could have a chance against the almighty cod.

dont think you can say itll be outselling cod just yet, 700% is pretty vague. cant even find where the ea guy said that ??? 700% more what ??? preorders at this time, overall preorders??? plus if bc2 got 100 preorders then 700% up would only mean bc3 has only got 700

It also says alot about the future sales. BC2 has sold over 7 million copies to date. With 700% more pre-orders it's right to think that BF3 will be way more popular. It will beat the 7 million sales and pass it sooner than BC2.

Also if you check the source of that post you will see it directs you to a page with Financial Reports and high lights of EA.

Exactly, just take a look at CoD.

700% is quite a substantial amount. I really hope they make some major profit. Dice seems to be willing to take gaming to the next level with destructible environments and all that, I can always appreciate certain innovation/originality :p

Well that at least sounds impressive although it all depends on what 700% increase over BC2 actually represents. Still the game does look awesome and I know I can't wait to get it.
