W.I.P Battlefield 3 So.. The so called "C.O.D Killer" is out, and it isn't a Burly fisherman called Sean armed with a rusty knife and a country accent. No, Its battlefield 3, armed with Jay-Z and orange glowing men, It's stormed consoles and PC's alike...But is it any good? This is not a review on the story just the multiplayer. Lets face it, Its all we really care for nowdays. READ ON PEONS! Graphics: Now, we have all seen the adverts and probably seen the tag line "Actual in-game footage" and probably all went "OMFG THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!1" so obviously when I picked up my copy I was looking forward to seeing the awesomeness that is the Frostbite 2 engine. Unfortunately they forgot to add "also shot on god like PC" and it seems to struggle to live up to my expectations, sometimes I see things in the terrain i could render quicker myself using an etch-a-sketch and the rest of the time -admittedly- it looks fucking superb. Everything bar the terrain looks beautiful, Tanks look mechanically strong, the Jets look sleek and fast, guns look weighty and worn and most of all the people look fluid in movement and solid in structure. Also for some reason, long range sniper shots look like Ki blasts from old school Dragon ball Z games. It's like Ive just shot a yellow oval of pure power, fuelled by rage and hatred, PURE EMOTION AND BODY ENERGY!!!! Except it does fuck all damage and looks like a long range phlegm ball. TL:DR Graphics look sweet but can be lackluster. Overall - 4/5 The Pros SERIOUSLY outweigh the Cons here. Game play Mechanics: I don't really know where I stand with this one. When I played the beta the only thing that struck me as "wow" was the fact I could vault over things and actually looked like I was vaulting. Of course Prone is back now and combined with Bi-pods on the likes of LMG's and Sniper rifles, adds a whole new mechanic to suppressing fire and sniper cover (Especially since you get points for raining fire on someone whilst a teammate finishes them off). It also seems its taking a few leafs out of Call Of Duty's books what with the main menu soldier customisation and the addition of vehicle customisation, although.. maybe its just me.. I can only customise my US character.. the RU one has to wait till I play as it. One thing I have always loved about the battlefield series is the threat from above. Now, with Jets back its even more deadly up there in the skies. Hearing the scream of jets churn the air above you makes you feel like there is death imminently looming... Until you realise.. The jets are shit. They have a BB gun mounted on the front which when versus a heli with rockets and ground troops with lock on Launchers all you get is a little zoom around the sky until you remember you aren't playing Ace Combat. Will finish later..probably Edited by HACIENDATHIS, Nov 2 2011, 08:10:50 PM.
