I have no words.
DICE, you have done right by us humble internet dwellers. And I now love you.

You will have my money come release day of Battlefield 3.

This is pretty damn hilarious but I ask, is 4chan really the audience you want to cater your game to? Aren't there any respectable gaming communities *ahem* to turn to for recommendations?

Oh fuck me, this is funny!! I was on that thread when it was originally posted on /v/ too! I got at screencap before this one, but this one was much better.

I'm so fucking glad they included dinosaurs. Good job DICE.

They have focused on copying Call of Duty in every way that makes Battlefield not be Battlefield for this game and even in their trailers they can't take their eyes away from Call of Duty.

Hooray for small multiplayer maps and a linear campaign. At least they can make a joke about the one difference from CoD they have shown so far.
oh, you must only have a console, well Im going to be enjoying my 64 player maps but I am one of the pc gaming master race

That is absolutely hilarious.

Excellent marketing and all, but I just love the fact that this sort of thing happens.

Can you call it derailing a thread when it was never 'on' the rails to begin with?
4chan threads are always on topic.
The thing is that the topic isn't always what you expect it to be, or what you intend it to be if you're the OP.
Make a post with a sexy girl and call for a discussion, the actual topic might turn out to be about the furniture in the background, and so on.

I like the way that the 4Chan thread in response to this devolved into bickering less than halfway down the page. :p

Personally, I think that this is awesome! I love it when companies interact with the community like this, even if Gearbox's wedding proposal was even cooler.

In a action that I can only describe as Bungie level community interaction,
Please don't insult what they did. This was very nice of them and we want them to do more of this stuff in the future. Calling them dicks for fan service? Uncalled for.
Hm?
Do you have an issue with Bungie, because they are probably the most dedicated to the fans in the business. Seriously, their forums are regularly checked and they include the requests in monthly updates...so, if that's your concern...
Most indie devs are more involved with their fanbases AND produce better games.

For MW3 to even contest with BF3, they better have T-Rexs with lazers. Because if not, they are not getting my money.

For all wondering about said Dinosaur, here is the vid.
This said video also exhibited a massive battlefield that of which the series is famous for.

.....Which incidentally is also perfect for full fledged DINOSAUR ON DINOSAUR COMBAT.

Thus the greatest game in existence shall commence

While not everything is entirely clear, I can positively say with a clear conscience...That everything is better with Dinosaurs.

Yeah, after seeing that extended video from e3 this game really looks great. As much as I dislike EA as a corporation I will have to pay them for a copy of this game, would be punishing only myself if I didn't.

Wait... So can I play as a dinosaur?

How many dinosaur species can I play as? Do any of them have special attacks when controlled by the player?

In fact, what we need is a FPS that is just tons of dinosaurs shooting each other and eating dead things to regen health. A cover based shooter where you have to take cover to regen health because eating your slain enemy out in the open is just being stupid.

If Brink was basically the same but all the models were dinosaurs, instead of cartoonimen, I probably would own it and play it unceasingly.

Long story short:

- person from activision (supposedly) posts on /v/, asking why /v/ despised call of duty so much, and what they could do to improve it;

- /v/ replies by asking for dinosaurs.

- DICE see's this, and puts a toy dinosaur in the e3 trailer.

- DICE tweets a image of said 4chan thread and the dinosaur

- 4chan goes nuts.

Guys, try to remember the whole purpose of this. It's not to appeal to a asinine online group of gamers, or to show how close they are to the community albeit they are arguably one of the best after that. No, the whole point is to give a giant finger to Activision and the CoD community and say: We've been in this longer and actually know what we're doing, stand aside and watch as we make a golden game based not on the dull whims of a trigger happy, spaztastic, short sighted community, but a warefare game that actually portrays... wait for it... war. Oh and of course, go fuck your selves.
