BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On May 4th, 2011 in News
EA just released its financial report for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, and buried in all the numbers and financial details were the news that Battlefield 3 has been pre-ordered 7 times more than the previous Battlefield game, Bad Company 2. As you recall, Bad Company 2 eventually went on to sell 7 million copies.
EA didn’t disclose how many copies of Battlefield 3 have been pre-ordered so far. The record as the most pre-ordered game is currently held by Halo Reach, which was pre-ordered 2 million times before its release last year.
EA is currently running a pre-order campaign for Battlefield 3 Limited Edition, which includes the DLC “Back to Karkand”, free of charge.
Not surprised here, BF3 is hyped a million times more than BC2, but I still doubt it’s gonna break any pre-order records.
EA wont get my money before they release it at steam
I know many a PC player who will be getting it on steam, and on at least 1 game console. So that is going to be huge. I think after E3, this is going to be “The Big Game” of 2011 and possibly of all time. Don’t under-estimate the under-dog.. Remember, No one knew Yoda was a Bad-Ass the first time they saw him and his little cane in Empire Strikes Back! I know I thought he was just some old hobbit who lived a long time.. Haha!
As soon as BF3 is on Steam, Im buying it, whether pre-order or not.
Agree with two gentlemen above me:)
when bf3 pre-order will be on steam i will buy it !!!
I’m waiting for a boxed edition to be available at some store in Budapest.
I’m also waiting for the Steam version. Only a few months ago I took a dive into the Paypal system and was wowed by the simplicity. Since then Steam seems a holy grail lol.
And maybe there will an action in a few months that when you pre order, you get a BF3 beta key. Just like we now get stuff for BF play4free when pre ordering BF3.
Yes i want it on steam too, if not i will have a hard time trying no to scratch the DVD and applying patches.
I can’t believe how many are waiting for it to hit Steam
Does anyone use EA Store at all?
I will get it on steam. EA better put it on steam, the SWTOR fiasco has me pissed. I refuse to use EA store, Selling games exclusive downloadable through your own store makes me sick.
