Battlefield 3

[TitanSound]

It's only supposed to be around 1.5gb so I've heard.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Pfft that's nothing!

 

[Picadilly Commando]

Spent nearly £100 on a new mouse for this game.
Spent nearly £200 on a new graphics card and another £100 for a new case so it can fit in.
Spent nearly £30 pre-ordering this game.

I am fucking stupid.

1.5GB plus the DOR patch - I think you can probably triple that!

New trailer with live action footage:

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Just put a preorder in...not played this style of games for years, I suspect I will be mascaraed.

 

[TitanSound]

I suspect I will be mascaraed.

They'll shoot you, not put make up on you

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Haha! Also a good team helps while you're learning the ropes.

Any PC players on here?

 

[TitanSound]

Review score on Metacritic is 93. Not bad, not bad at all

 

[yield]

Pre-ordered on PS3. Can't really afford it but what are credit cards for?

 

[sim667]

They cancelled my pre order, so I've paid a deposit to reserve me a copy
In store

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Looks like them installed textures really are a big deal:

 

[Callum91]

Looks abit shit in SD doesn't it?

WTF?!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Looks abit shit in SD doesn't it?

Just a little. Man oh man can't Friday be here already?!

 

[TitanSound]

Friday, Monday and Tuesday booked off

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Lucky man, can't get the time off at the moment...

 

[TitanSound]

Lucky man, can't get the time off at the moment...

Well, at least you have the whole of Friday night to squad up and create some carnage with us

 

[Kid_Eternity]

 

[UnderOpenSky]

No pc players?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Think Revol is one.

 

[tommers]

And Piccadilly commando. I think he might have a PC. Not sure though.

 

[TitanSound]

And mr Filter.

 

[TitanSound]

2 MORE FUCKING DAYS.

Ahem. Bit excited.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

You aint alone man, you aint alone...

 

[ChrisFilter]

Yeah, I play on PC. I'll be joining you lot from the 27th. (payday)

 

[povmcdov]

Global Stoner: I'll be playing on PC.

I'm getting a new GPU for it, however I ballsed the order up. Instead of ordering a "HIS AMD radeon HD 6870 iceq x turbo 1gb gddr5" I managed to order a "HIS AMD radeon HD 6850 iceq x turbo 1gb gddr5". One digit in all that meaningless shite makes all the difference. Now I have to wait 3 days before they pay the money into my account so I can order the right card, which means that I'm unlikely to be able to play at the weekend except on a card that is frankly not up to scratch.

I have to work Saturday too

Ah well, I've been waiting 6 years, another couple of days won't hurt. (who am I kidding...)

In other news, I don't seem to be able to play BC2 tonight as the EA account servers keep timing out. That doesn't bode particularly well. Its probably going to be a disastrous launch, just like every other game I've bought on launch day.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Couldn't play BC2 last night on the 360 either...
