DICE Confirms Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Playable at E3, Fires Shot at CoD Elite

EA is gonna show MP at E3. Also, they responded to CoD Elite, with their own service. For free, of course. I can't wait, too bad they aren't gonna show co-op, oh well.

Turns out I can get more excited for this game.

They took a similar stab at MW2 when Bad Company 2 came out: they said "the game features full support for party chat" *wink wink*

I'm really shocked that Battlefield failed before it's even released.

To have COD Elite's package out there and not match it with anything means that Battlefield already has one foot in the grave, add to that the fact that it doesn't have the presence to gain sales just by title alone and what do you have? A weaker title.

I expected EA to put up more of a fight, feel bad for the guys at DICE

This year they are just going to expand on the difference.

No, what you meant to say was that they're adding features but not enough of them to trump COD.

Battlefield can't win on name alone and that means it need features and Activision throws down the gauntlet almost 2 weeks ahead of everyone else and the best EA can do is take some of the ideas?

Really?

It's pathetic that EA would cower like that.

Who has the better name recognition? COD
Who has the most features? COD

It's obvious that EA knows it doesn't have a good enough game in Battlefield to go toe to toe with COD and that's why they're not putting up a fight, maybe next round DICE will make a better game and EA will have no problems supporting it.

As of now all this says is that EA doesn't think this game is good enough

Yes, that's how Modern Warfare is staying ahead of Battlefield.

Battlefield had something so Modern Warfare took it, now here comes the Elite package that allows dedicated users the most ever when it comes to the series and Battlefield fails to match them.

When Activision brought up Elite EA had two options

1. Match them step by step and offer the same thing for the same or lower price
2. Offer all of it for free

Option 1 would have put them 1a 1b when it comes to the two franchises and option 2 would have possibly had the series leapfrog over COD for the top spot.

Instead they come out and say "we're going to offer less features and it's free"? Of course it's free because it's less then what your competitors offer.

" it gonna kill the world "

PewPewPew.

[QUOTE="wwervin"]It's funny that EA is gloating about not trying to rip people off when they release Madden and other similar games every year with nothing but roster changes. Good one. Although I have to hand it to them this time. Countering CoD's service with a free one is definitely a plus for them.Spellingiscool

I've played my fair share of Madden.. but what does that have to do with anything? Sounds like a sad argument to something that wasn't even aimed at you.

Very destructible? I highly doubt it, and at any rate I doubt it will be more destructible than BF3's environments. It will probably be very limited in scope.

In defense of COD Elite there will be a FREE version AND a premium version. I could be wrong but I don't think that Elite has released all of their features yet. SOOOO that means that it is possible that all of the features Battlefield is offering with their online service for free, might come with the free version of Elite while the premium version comes with even more features that have not been announced yet.

Frankly I don't like that Battlefield is going this route. One of the things that I love about BFBC2 is that there is not much emphasis on stats at all. It affects how people play when so much focus is placed on stats (there is so much dashboarding in Black Ops, its ridiculous). I enjoy BFBC2 because I can play it for nothing but fun, whereas with COD I'm more focused on my K/D in any given game mode. People will now find a way to lone wolf in BF.
