EA: Battlefied 3 pre-orders are up 700% over Battlefield Bad Company 2

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"]

[QUOTE="Sandvichman"] Hey if it wasnt for the consoles, you wouldnt have near those pre orders, just saying. But i get to play battlefield 3, dont really care if you can play it at a higher resolution. ;)Sandvichman

Oh,and BC2 sold more on PC than the PS3 and 360:D

Where does it say that it "crushed" the platform, I would still wager that in the long run it still sold more than consoles but I doubt DICE would post this info because nobody cares about a 2010 game. Also why should 2 platforms gang up on one? Im sure DICE could not just port the 360 version to the ps3 but had to design it from the ground up, why should the PC version be any different.

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] It will be a cod clone, how is that balancinbg?edo-tensei

[QUOTE="After_Math"] Is there an actual link to how much Bad Company 2 sold per platform, with solid numbers?Sandvichman

Oh,and it only talks about RETAIL sales.A big chunk of PC sales come from DD.

Have you played BC2 there was no killstreaks in there at all

The perks in BC2 arent really perks but just extra equipment, you dont get ridicious stuff like last stand or martyrdom or any of that nonsense

The BF series had ironsights since BF2

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] perks, iron sights, probably cod console like killstricks. I do hope the pc version is "different as they seem to be claiming" This gen, I don't trust anything a dev says until the game releases.mitu123

Where does it say that it "crushed" the platform, I would still wager that in the long run it still sold more than consoles but I doubt DICE would post this info because nobody cares about a 2010 game. Also why should 2 platforms gang up on one? Im sure DICE could not just port the 360 version to the ps3 but had to design it from the ground up, why should the PC version be any different.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Um, there's no killstreaks in Bad Company 2, what makes you think there will be any in BF3? Have you even played Bad Company 2 or BF2?DragonfireXZ95

[QUOTE="Sandvichman"] Yeah, but together those two platforms crushed the PC in sales, and that matters more to EA.Sandvichman

LOL, yeah right. Console gamers don't do that.

On the PC, games still have viable income streams months, years after release, on the console, sales dry up after the first few months.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I love when people call BF a COD clone even though BF came before COD. If anything, COD ripped off BF in some ways, like the change of settings, BF started in WWII, so did COD, in 2005 BF went modern with BF2, in 2007 COD went modern with COD4, etc.

mitu123

I hope BF3 doesn't allow you to have a lightweight pack and body armor at the same time like BC2, the fact you can run faster and absorb more bullets is not very balanced, I tried it and I am knifing people in the front because of it. I do it as a medic as well, LOL.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Yeah, but people always have to discredit things without actual information to back them up. It's sad.DragonfireXZ95

Going by this, I wonder how many even played BF games before COD4. COD4 is a good game, but people credit it way too much.mitu123

BF 2142 was the first Battlefield game I played. It was probably my favorite shooter of all time.

I really, really hope BF3 dose good sales wise because we all know it will be better then COD.

unlike bf3, which is built from the ground up on all platforms. Sandvichman

lol no. They're building it from the ground up for PC, then butchering it down for consoles.

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.mitu123

I will die if BF3 is anything like it. What I wouldn't give to be able to set commands and be a squad leader again.

I think they're going to change that.mitu123

I'm pumped either way. If they improve on some of the things that were meh with BFBC2, I'll be happy.

It's going to be a thousand times better than any CoD game, that's for sure.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Yeah, but people always have to discredit things without actual information to back them up. It's sad.DragonfireXZ95

and BF2142 had small perks like "increased stamina".

I love Bad Company 2, but we all know that its a poor mans Battlefield

And people say it won't destroy the next cod sales. It could... don't assume it can't because of the term "call of duty". It's just plain silly.sethman410

[QUOTE="Sandvichman"] unlike bf3, which is built from the ground up on all platforms. psn8214

lol no. They're building it from the ground up for PC, then butchering it down for consoles.

il never understand why people pre-order games.

wayne_kar

Free swag?

As much as i hate EA, thay really don't need to jabs at COD. BF3 is going to be better anyway, simply because it is not COD.

Heck, I'd rather play Shaq-fu than Call of Duty Modern Cash Cow 3.

How the hell does this have anything to do with my post? Because it fits my hand, and is just perfect, i dont like sitting on a desk to play games with a keyboard and mouse, feels weird, and i certainly dont like using one when sitting in a couch. Well, i use the controller on all platforms i play, including the pc, so its not that bad really. Especially when i use the Razer Onza

Seriously, once again, what does this have to do with my post?

Do want.lukasbolander

EA also takes a dig at Modern Warfare stating that BF3 is "flat out superior" to CoD.

Xtasy26

i'm pretty sure they said the same thing about MoH. i just hope they keep the core 'battlefield' gameplay

and avoid making another cod-wannabe clone.

Hope BF3 does well. And THANK YOU DICE for pushing tech by focusing BF3 on the PC FIRST. :D

Xtasy26

they need to focus more on the game then bashing the competition, because if it goes south then the bachlash will be biblical
