PC Battlefield 3 Lacks Key FPS Feature

[Snotnarok]

This didnt work well in the alpha and I'm not seeing this work well in the full version, what are they thinking

 

[jackanderson]

So close, EA and Dice! You almost managed to go 24 hours without saying something fucking stupid, and you blew it! Gorram it!

Good thing i'm getting this on console i suppose.

Pretty much this. I was already going to, but I'm just adding to the already fairly big list of reasons at this stage.

Just... how hard did the train hit them? Seriously. At least they didn't forget shooting.

Oi, You tits.

Did u actualy read this post? Stop fuckin panicking:

Could you please do some research before posting this sensationalist crap & causing people to react as above?

BF3 doesn't have a server browser because BF3 doesn't have a main menu.

Everything is controlled through the Battlelog website, VoIP, server browser, friends list, community forums, stats...everything.

Battlelog is fucking awesome. Seriously.

PS. You don't need to close the game and open it again to change server, simply alt+tab (which is super quick) to Battlelog & find a new one.

 

[Treblaine]

Can I switch by just alt-tabbing out and opening a lightweight web-browser?

Then next week we see this headline

Battlefield 3 to lack shooting

You know,because EA thought it would be such a great idea at the time.

Why are people so angry about this? You people are never happy with anything, are you? Seriously, you spend weeks talking good about the game, then one thing comes up that you don't like and suddenly you refuse to buy it. Seems very childish to me.

 

[Double A]

Love you too, EA.

*slow-clap*
Well done EA, well done.
I know consoles are a lucrative market and all, but have you stopped trying to get money out of the PC gaming crowd?
They offer you money, you decline and slap them with your genitals.

Good thing i'm getting this on console i suppose.

Because dickery is the only language they speak, I suggest you buy it used from Gamestop. I know I will.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well, i won't start screaming in dismay yet, I'll wait till the game actually comes out. There's a chance that it'll actually be something even better. So what I'm trying to say is, we'll see.

 

[dropZero]

Funny. Sometimes it seems EA is purposefully trying everything it can to make its PC fans hate it even more than they already do.

 

[TheComfyChair]

Played the alpha. Used battlelog. Found it better than all in game server browsers ever made. Alt-tabbing to it was far faster than anything in bad company 2 or battlefield 2.

Stop whining. The reason they're still using it was because all the thousands of alpha testers said it was good. Which it is.

it's just a bit weird at first.

curious, how does Origin fits into this? Because it would be pretty ass it has to re-authenticate everytime the game quits out, etc.

Looks like you're in the know so please let me know how it all fits. Because right now i'm having a serious crisis.

 

[Ickorus]

Battlefield 3 sounded so good to begin with too..

I mean, im sure the gameplay is still as good as it looked like before but seriously, are EA really trying this hard to piss PC gamers off?

People complaining about fans or "gamers" that complain seem to be forgetting one, minor, tiny, little detail:

The companies are expecting us to PAY for the game, and, in most cases, pay means a lot of money, even for somebody with a decent income.


So when X wants me to PAY for Y game that lacks Z feature, and that Z feature is rather important to me, I have every right to be unhappy and to say "I will not buy Y product since it does not cover the Z feature, which I desire".


Seriously, folks seem to forget that THE COSTUMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. The logic is -THIS- easy: Guess what, I'm the costumer. I want a main menu. No main menu? Find another costumer.

I played BF2 lots. Like a lot of lots. I still have it installed and still play it. If they managed to capture any of the old magic, you're not going to be bouncing around servers. You'll find a few good ones and stick with them.
I stopped paying attention when they confirmed 3d spotting so I don't know if they've released info on what the matches will be like but a 30 minute match would be super fast for bf2. This game ain't halo or call of duty, when you get 64 players on a conquest map you can expect hour long matches. You simply do not bounce around like on the games where you play a lot more, faster matches.
