I'd rather hitch a ride on a Pterodactyl.

I want dinos.....too

or maybe we can line attach tanks onto helicopters, then fly off and use the tanks as air to ground bombs.

I would love a pre load version of it. But mine is a hard copy from Amazon. I like getting boxes for games and my internet isn't the best so downloading something like that will go over my vandwidth limits and will take forever. But pre loading is such a good idea. Its usually like 90% of the game and you do the rest on launch day. So you can't hack it to play it

Still calling a 8.0 for this game on consoles, they did not work nearly as hard on the console version as they did the pc and I still believe that this game will ship with many bugs

The single player looks awful

I think this game has a serious chance at scoring below 9.0 on consoles. Its basically Bad Company on consoles and I hear the single player is much more linear like COD than the more open nature of Bad Company. IF you have spent the money on a PC that can handle it, it should be a much better game on there. I agree it will likely ship with some serious bugs. Sorry to say, but DICE rarely ships a game without such. Even BF2 had hard core bugs and exploits that needed serious patching.

After watching the Batman AC reviews on both here and IGN, I think I may be switching my pre-order from BF3 to that lol. I cant shake the feeling that BF3 will disappoint me as badly as Bad Company 2 did. On the other hand, Batman AC looks amazing and so does Uncharted 3.

Time to start eating less, and wearing a coat to save on central heating. I've been there. :D
Or maybe sell some old games?

Seine Crossing:

Seine Crossing has two sections of Paris split in the middle by the river Seine. Seine Crossing has a number of larger roads for vehicles to patrol, while infantry can sneak through tight alleyways and climb staircases to reach second or third levels inside buildings to reach a better tactical position – unless the enemy takes down the building facades. The final M-COM stations in Rush are placed inside a bank building, which is the largest indoor environments of this map and forces the attackers to slightly change tactics

Noshahr Canals:

Noshahr Canals is an industrial harbour, featuring a mix of infantry, land vehicle, and boat gameplay. The attackers in Rush start out on an carrier ship and can reach the beachhead by amphibious vehicles, boats, and helicopters. All of the bases on the map have an industrial theme but still have different ****, like a train yard, dry dock, or airfield. Compared with the larger vehicle maps in the game, this allows for tighter infantry combat

Kharg Island:

Kharg Island is the second map with boat gameplay. Thematically it's representing an assault against Kharg island in the Persian sea, an industrialized island not far from the Iranian coast. The map is slightly more focused on vehicles with longer distance between flags than for example Noshahar Canals. In the Rush game mode, the beach assault begins on the coastline with a well-defended beach you need to break through to create a beachhead for further attacks on the island, before it opens up wider in the later part of the map

The last three look a bit dry.... not sure how they will look in-game, but maybe we're getting spoiled for choice and in reality, the boring looking maps would be fine if it wasn't for the awesome looking maps that put them in their shadow

I have a question. I live in Ireland and pre ordered off amazon.co.uk. Does that I mean I will get to pre-load on the 21st? and if so, will I get it the American date or the crappy European date? (Which is silly cos DICE are european, damn EA)

Not going to judge them until we actually get to play on them.

Edit: Though I do agree some look a bit bland.

That's exactly it, and I hope Rush focuses more on vehicles for both sides on most maps.

I have a horrible sinking feeling that these BF3 maps are more inclined on Infantry. All of them so far seem to have something like "with small urban areas between for tight infantry combat" or something along those lines. I hope the big maps play like caspian because that was a good balance of vehicles and infantry

[QUOTE="2scoopsofempty"]just ordered a i5 2500k. My BF3 build is officially in motion! Getting excited now.seanmcloughlin

Sweet. What GPU will you be getting to compliment it?

560Ti or a 570. Kind of sucks buying these cards at this time, AMD's 7 series is around the corner, and I'm sure Nvidia will retaliate. I almost want to get a cheap card just to run BF3 for the time being.

AAA 9.5 and GOTY

I cant believe so many noobs think this game is going to get a 7.5 based on a beta that is not even a demo. They dont understand the quality of the Battlefield series.
