Wow,.. you guys really, really don't want people to buy this game, do you?
Battlefield 3 is no doubt a superior game to MW3, but I for one would find it difficult to recommend BF3 to anyone that planned to run it on PC. EA have just cocked it up in so many ways.
Damnit EA, just when I thought we could be friends.

Considering pretty much everyone who actually played the "alpha" has said Battlelog is a superior service to any other server browser put out to date I'm a bit more willing to believe them than knee jerk forum goers and hysterical news posters.
The ABSOLUTE ONLY concern this should raise is if single player is also accessed through a website only. That would basically make it Ubisoft's DRM, which is terrible.

Im not sold on the whole BF3 hype train anyway. I will be buying both, but I think ill end up with my familiar COD love affair.
Okay, now they are just trolling.
Seriously! First they announced they won't use the most spread digital retailer and now this? Are they trying to piss off the PC croud?

Wow, I wonder what the hell was going on in the meeting where they decided that was a good idea.
It probably involved lobsters and blunt force trauma.

I didn't preorder this to begin with; I went with Skyrim and Uncharted 3. Server list or not, it won't affect me at all because I wouldn't be playing online anyway. For (choppy) 3G users, multiplayer is a distant dream that you can just barely get a glimpse of by getting into one CoD match, lagging it up for twenty minutes, and pulling out with a 1:99 KDR.
I don't know whether it's that or just me being a sociopath, but I never liked multiplayer to begin with. This doesn't bother me at all, though I can definitely see where the rest of you are coming from. I suppose, for everyone else, it's the kind of slap in the face that Diablo 3's DRM was for me. Maybe not quite as stupid.

I'll admit, I was put off by this at first. However, I don't think it's wise to jump to conclusions on how this will affect game play or the overall quality of BF3. It's just a different way of finding servers. For all we know it could be so awesome every FPS on the PC will start doing it.
IF it works like they say it will i don't really mind. but if the game takes more then 10 secs to start up then i might think long and hard before buying it.
Weird thing is that the consoles have it, but the PC version don't. Only reason I see why they would do this is because this is better than the in-game server browsing
This, while i still find the concept stupid, is mildly reassuring that it won't be utter crap.petergriff06 said:
Trying to see if i understand it
So my friends list etc. will be on battlelog, like it's not in-game but on steam for steam games, the server browser will also be on battlelog.
So i need to run the game through EA origin, and browse servers/friends over battlelog.
Am i right so far?
The game may be fast to load and I know they (finally) removed the intros, but from an user experience point-of-view, I think it will be pretty annoying having to cycle between the game and a browser, every time I just want to change server. But I don't think it's that bad, the game will still be (probably) fun...
Also, I hope it supports Opera. I don't like having to use IE just to start a game. [EDIT:] Oh, and I can't play Battlefield Play4Free on my computer, simply because I can't install the plugin. Have tried both 32-bits and 64-bits versions of IE9, none works -.-

Well then, if all it is a shinier version of Battlefield Heroes, why am I paying 60 bucks for it?Frapple said:

dammit ea, stop trying to fuck up bf3, just as I accept the idea of having to install origin you bring up some other fucken thing.... fuck bf3, Ill just do skyrim or something, maybe rage
Also note that it loads quicker than it takes to join & load a server in BF2. Anyone who doesn't like battlelog is provably wrong.
I'm just going to double post and explain all of this so all of the uninformed shits will stfu.
Battlelog is a completely streamlined thing, Stats, friends, a social thing, server browser, drag and drop parties and inviting.
The difference is miniscule, it is faster than BF2's interface ever was, you can access the campaign, co-op and multiplayer matches from 3 main buttons, however each have a sub-menu to go into further depth.
Seriously do your research.
