Expect gaming to be more and more expensive as time goes by. Thats all im gonna say, as these days, the game you get probably have DLCs lined up waiting for you, so if you want the complete game, prepare to pay more money for less content for a complete experience.

I am also afraid this kind of cheap promotional techniques will stay too, because the fact is, people hate buying games from Gamestop in US or EB Games in Australia. I hate EB Games the most as a retail chain store due to their employee's attitude and ridiculous pricing. GAME is heaps better and i did bought a few games from them.

DLC isnt all bad, as it depends on the implementation. For example, i bought BC2:Vietnam as soon as its available, as it offers a different experience and the price is reasonable. Same goes with a couple of games like Killing Floor, Dawn of War 2, Supreme Commander, as they are optional and adds into the experience. Nothing wrong with that.

The problem is, like Total Biscuit said, is taking out content that is done before release and make it as a pre-order exclusive at a certain store. At the same time, no other way to get it. That is the root of the problem.

If they gave it to everyone, no one even cares man. I would just pre-order the game instead to secure the extra weapons. Now, i dont even know there are any more of these packs installed for us.

Just make it simple, if you have PWP, you get that gun and 2 mods.

If you dont have PWP, you dont get to use them.

Lets hope everyone is even more pissed off with this.

One of country specific packs, im not pre-ordering this retail, including TSB.

Even if im buying, im buying from digital distribution, as i just want retail to die off. All these packs happened because of these retailers.

No PWP or Speact Kit, so be it. I am paying to DICE, not to these greedy retailers that never give me a decent shopping experience.

BF games are meant to be played for a long time. Unlike most games. All these pre-orders exclusive contents and now, we are all forced to use Origins. Origins have already taken over your EA account. 2 years didnt login to it, you lose everything you have, including your purchased games.

Even you have a great product, EA, the stuff you are doing to it are counter productive.

I think just hold on the pre-order first.

Not sure what EA SG gonna give for BF3.

Keris?

They finally got their senses. Thank gawd.

EA still isn't as bad as Activision. At least they listen.

If retail gives us a BF3 t-shirt, i think im buying retail too.

So far, the t-shirts i have from games are pretty good. DoW2's one still look the same as the day i got it, and its very comfortable. Starcraft 2's is fugly, but comfortable.

Except Black Ops one, it shrinked and it's too tight to wear now.

I actually got a custom made DoW1 shirt from lowyat.net. Its amazing too but it's freaking expensive. RM50 for a t-shirt, but it look awesome and very comfortable too.

By the way, DICE is showing off console footage soon.

No more d la.

Link?

It isnt that bad. Just because people have been seeing a lot on PC, doesnt mean the console looks that bad.

Looks like BC2 on low with medium textures.

Also, how many of us gonna have a rig that can show that graphics on E3?

Probably only 10% max, while a large amount of PC gamers will also looking at the same "fugly" graphics on console.

The only thing i dont like is the textures on the holographic sight.

It's very blur but the rest are good.

Dont forget that DX11, if done right, the game will look significantly better, like Metro 2033 and DiRT 3 than DX9.

It's only the UI.

The graphics is like one gen ahead.

You have this:

Alienware M18X Stealth Black
Intel Core i7 2920XM | HD6970M CrossfireX 4GB | 8GB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz RAM | Intel 510 SSD 250GB | Seagate Momentus Hybrid 500GB | Bluray Reader | Intel WiFi 6300 |

Nothing to worry man.

What i have now, has a couple of numbers missing or different than yours. You have like double of what my laptop has.

Or maybe Rush.

Other than that, Conquest sucks with less than 40 players.

I think Rush only have 32 or 24 max players. A 64 players Rush mode would be very chaotic to play, unless they have like 5 MCOMs.

If im not wrong, only Conquest have jets so im expecting only Conquest mode have 64 players to accommodate the jets on the map.

I used to love joining 64 players infantry only servers on Karkand.

Man, i hope the game dont lag too much for those who dont have more than 2GB RAM.
