Like I've said before.

Point your fingers at these guys first:



For making other companies adopt a new business model.
It was actually EA/DICE who introduced project $10 and encouraged other game companies to follow suit.

Yes.

Because of Gamestop.

Because of Gamestop's business model.

Which is to sell their games used at a reduced price. Which is how Gamestop makes THEIR money, and the DEVELOPER, doesn't make ANY money.

Hence, why EA/DICE is selling NEW games with the online code, or forcing you to spend $10 to get an online code so they can still make money. So that they can still make money after they put in the effort to make the game for us.

Though I do like this game, I hate that I need an HDTV just for this game to look good. All the other games I play look fine on standard definition. Even with the HD texture pack downloaded, its incredibly difficult to even see enemies at longer ranges.

Pretty much. You want to know how Gamestop makes their money? Go and try to sell stuff to them.
Yup.

NOTHING but profit for them.

Oh hey? Yeah, we'll give you $10 in credit for that. We'll sell it for $45 though, okay? Thanks bro. :troll:

Nothing but bank for them.


Worked for them for too long. I know how the system works. Will never give them my money again. My money is going to the developers. Why?

Cause I want the GAMES to come out. Not the STORES to have the games to come out.

After seeing the difference between a standard tv and an hd tv on this game I definitely want an hd tv now. This games looks amazing and it is so easy to see enemies compared to playing on a standard tv.

Oh.


That's cool. I'm real happy for you.

Have a good time.:c

But how could you possibly play on that controller?! :troll:

Seriously. That controller.:glare:

The free game is a nice touch though.
The free game that EA had to be sued to get because they wouldn't keep their promise originally lmao.

So it's been a while but I finally upgraded to a new computer and I can play Battlefield 3 pretty well.

This game feels so different both from Battlefield 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. As a game in Multiplayer perspective overall I'd have to say I like Bad Company 2 better, it just feels better for infantry.

I haven't played too much but maybe I just need to learn the maps better, I've played Bad Company 2 enough to know the maps well enough to know where people are. In Battlefield 3 I always die from getting shot before I even knew someone was there but I felt like I have a better chance of surviving in BC 2 or at least defending myself.
