They should drop the campaign a couple of days early, if only to get some people signed in and ease the burden on the servers.

Was not a fan of the beta opening at a very specific time resulting in long queues. It is going to be a bloodbath on the 10th.

Other than the first couple hours they seemed really on top of the queues in the beta. I don't think I waited more than a few minutes both weekends.

I think we'll be fine (famous last words).

They have a good idea of how many people will be at ground zero. If things shit the bed then they only have themselves to blame.

That was because they launched at 5pm in Europe and everyone was trying to log in at once It will happen again and Youtubers will get their 'BF6 opening day disaster' drama.

Working overseas so ill be in bed at launch but hopefully things normalise by Saturday evening.

Whoever thought this was a good idea to launch at primetime on a weekend is either a genius or will be on welfare by the Monday.

It's certainly not genius. When Cod was in it's golden age, the servers would be switched on a few days before. Launch was at midnight for each region, so only the really dedicated players would be trying to play as soon as possible.

Opening the dam at a really specific time when half the world has clocked off from work is retarded.

Wishful thinking, but you'd think networks have evolved somewhat since then.

COD seems to cope with global launches these days without too much trouble.

Is Zac Efron training for a new Predator movie or something? Sheesh.

What's this one in refence to or is it nothing? I like a cryptic title. I also like Dinosaurs.

 

[FUBARx89]

I don't think it will be shit, just servicable by the looks of things. But will definitely get marked down for it.

Won't affect things either way.

Even if it is shit, who cares? I can't remember anything from BF4, 1 or V campaigns they where that boring and forgettable.

Old internet stuff and easter eggs:


and mentioned on BF3 wikipedia page:
Several dinosaur Easter eggs—such as a flying pterodactyl on the map "Nebandan Flats" and tyrannosaurus skulls or toy statues on various maps—have led others to believe a dinosaur-related game or DLC would be released in the future. The idea of a dinosaur-related minigame originated from fan feedback through social media outlets prior to Battlefield 3's release. Neither of these possible upcoming games has been confirmed by EA.

Basically everybody was asking if BF3 would get a dino mode.

Not me, but we were talking about if it will drag down the MC scores.

Like i said earlier I probably won't even play the campaign post a mission or two.

Great trailer, will age like milk if they don't keep the skins sensible though. No santa outfits at Christmas please.

I doubt they'd do a santa skin. Even 2042 didn't do that.

The Marketing Team knew what their assignment was, excellent
I want to support them but...BF just doesn't click with me.
It got everything I would want, but when I play I just find it boring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But that a me problem, nothing to do with the actual game.

See now that im ok with if its literally a limited time thing over December.

But dont have some dumb arse rapper skin or whatever the kids want doing shoopy shim dances

 

[Nocty]

is there any game modes coming post the launch that are less chaotic?

I much prefer slower / smaller scale battles where I can actually take my time and figure out what the fuck is going on before dying and respawning 5 times over in under a minute.

its not necessarily the game modes its the maps.

That said I was watching footage of Squad Deathmatch on Manhattan Bridge, and it was slower paced than I expected. So I think there will be specific mode/map combinations that might have what you're looking for.

I would very much like the pacing to be slower in CQ, Breakthrough, and Rush which are the only modes I play.....but I don't think thats happening.

NGL, they had me at first. I was starting to think what in the fucking COD is going on and then BOOM! The marketing team should be given a raise.
