Well Steven Seagal really put his thinking cap on for this one...
I wish they would do more Bad Company that was some silly fun.

Battlefield 3's Launch Trailer Highlights Single-Player Story

Actually, I believe Iran is involved as well, seeing one of the multiplayer maps is their capitol.urilukin said:
Funny thing is, he also does the voice of Overlord in the Modern Warfare series.Well, we are talking about two distinctly multiplayer franchises here, especially in the case of Battlefield that didn't even have a singleplayer campaign to speak out throughout the main series. So yeah, saying "I just want a good single player experience that I think is good value for money" is somewhat similar to saying you just want a good multiplayer experience out of something like BioShock 2.-|- said:
That said, I'm just saying that in reply to your "hopefully this isn't too much to ask" because it kinda is. Which doesn't mean both companies aren't working towards it anyway. My bet is we'll get a good campaign out of both, why? Because they've both got a lot at stake and they've both had a chance to learn from MW2 length complaints. But in all honesty, considering MW2 was a multiplayer title, I don't think all the raging against it was too fair, especially with all the added benefit of its co-op (and I'm not defending it as a fan, I'm not into MW multiplayer)
I don't disagree with anything you have said. I'm not really raging against either title - if they come out with lacklustre campaigns but great multiplayer then so be it - plenty of people will get enjoyment out of that, just not me but that's fair enough. I guess what I'm saying is that if we do get a good campaign out of both, I'll buy both, but I'm adopting a wait and see attitude rather than pre-ordering (a mistake I made with MW2).Vrach said:
Yeah, just to clarify, wasn't saying anything about you, just stating my general attitude at the whole thing. And if you're into playing the singleplayer and singleplayer alone, waiting for reviews/more info on it is definitely the way to go, but yeah, personally, I'm optimistic and think we'll get a fantastic campaign out of Battlefield and probably a good one from MW too (less certain of MW merely because of the Black Ops, God that game was a fiasco in terms of singleplayer)-|- said:
Im guessing the campaign moves a bit around and doesn't stay in one country all the time. BFBC2 had single-player missions in Bolivia, Chile, Russia and Ecuador.The Gentleman said:
What I do know for sure though, is that one of the multi-player missions takes place in Teheran.
Aside from the single player campaign, I think one thing you may also want to take into account is the co-op campaign (getting very favorable feedback from preview plays). Apparently, the replay value is fairly high since the placement and tactics of hostiles varies on each playthrough. Rather want to see more about it myself.-|- said:
I'm more intrested in the terrorist bit. I live a bit of plot twist.
Though, even though I'll probably get hate, it's looks WAY too similair to MW2.
They'res Russian terroists, the Marines being the good guys, nukes, conflict in the Middle East, Middle Eastern terroists, people shouting. I mean, this one doesn't even have badarse Brits as the lead character.
Then again, it'll like be more polished, as it is Dice, plus they'll be more variey in the combat. Those god damn jets are so sexy to fly in the beta, it'll be nice to have a giant skybox to play in. Caspian border just didn't have enough space to use them properly.

this site is funny...whenever something about BF comes out everyone drools over it and praise EA! and then something about CoD comes along and everyone jumps on the hate train
both games have been going on long enough where neither of them are doing anything different...

I'm not sure that's an accurate comparison. While DICE was off doing the Bad Company spin-off series, it's been 6 years since we've had a "true" Battlefield game. Comparatively, Call of Duty has been getting a new release every single year, and MW1, MW2 and Black Ops have all followed an incredibly similar formula.cyrogeist said:
Battlefield 3, on the other hand, looks so far removed from the Bad Company series that I cannot say to someone with a straight face "It's just going to be Bad Company 3!"
I'm loving the parts of the trailers with gameplay, but the cutscenes, not so much. For every bit of gameplay that says "Look, this is gonna be awesome!" there is a cutscene that says "Look at how cliched this overall plot will be.
I think BF3 is going to have the same problem the MoH campaign had. All the on the ground stuff is actually pretty interesting but the in between mission scenes with whoever is in charge will just be super cheezy and detract from the experience.

As much as I'm looking forward to BF3, I really wish that DiCE would let their stories have some fun again. The original Bad Company had a fun premise and funny writing; it didn't take itself too seriously, the characters were likable, and, above all, it was just really fun to experience. I'm not saying that BF3's story won't be enjoyable (far from it, by the looks of it), but I do miss the sense of humor and light-heartedness present in Bad Company.Mr.K. said:
