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.
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.Frapple said:
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.
People complaining about fans or "gamers" that complain seem to be forgetting one, minor, tiny, little detail:C95J said:
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.

What's this? Change? I don't care if the map loads as fast as an in-game browser, has faster search time and more functionality than a in-game browser because they don't have to code it all from scratch! They are using a technology that everyone knows, is easier to code with and easier to update instead of wasting their time coding a in-game browser.
Also, I can make an educated guess that a server browser for console is quite different than a server browser for PC. It may seem the same for the user, but under the hood, i'm pretty sure it's different because there's a whole layer of networking (xbox live or PSN) that is not present on PC.

Just no on so many levels.KissofKetchup said:
OT: I suppose we will have to see how it works out but from the sounds of it this is a really bad and ridiculously awkward and obtuse system.
If I were going to buy the game, I'd have canceled preorder so fast, my mouse would've set itself on fire.
Thank God both Bad Company 2 and Enemy Territory are still alive on PC.

Frankly, I didn't mind Gamespy in for instance Neverwinter Nights. It wasn't a good system, but it was decent for its times. Only thing I hated were client-based favorites and friends list. So I couldn't find my servers if I changed PC.Phishfood said:
... And you see nothing wrong with this?Frapple said:
Hell, they could easily just put the website in game and make that the menu. It makes absolutely zero sense to have to go out of a game to play the game you were currently in. I can't imagine this is going to break the game but it is going to dissuade people who were on the edge. Hell, I have very little interest in the BF series but I had thoughts of buying this game. Barring everyone I know purchasing it; I won't be getting it.
considering how bullshit stupid that is
I'm pretty sure it's a troll move by them to hide something big

Before people start flipping their shit. It really isn't as bad as it sounds. The game does start quickly, and it really isn't a hassle.
I often find the TF2 server browser glitchy as hell, yet people don't ***** about that. This method is prefectly simple.

What's wrong with a Facebook-esque way to check stats and join games? Really, what's wrong?
Isn't saying you're going to cancel a pre-order a little hasty, by something you haven't even seen or used?
It's a cleaner and simpler way to do that. It's just that.
And they have to have a server browser on the consoles because viewing a Webpage and even using it is a damn nightmare. I owned a PS3 once.

Wow I had no idea about this. It sounds horrible. To think, I was really excited about this game too.Frapple said:
Is there a LAN option, or do I have to run 70 feet of cable to my damn basement and move the router? I'm not fucking surprised to be honest, if the answer is no. BC2 had no LAN support, we tried to play a game with 12 people and, due to the router-exploding amount of traffic we were running through it we all had pings of about 700. Thanks, EA.
So we had to boot up battlefield 1942 again to play a damn battlefield game everyone had.
