BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS





Can’t wait to play Karkand and Sharqui in BF3!
And Gulf of Omen and Wake Island!

Dont you mean 1942?
why cool coment dude hope yu have a great day
BF3 is going to be the best game in the hole universe
WHOLE*
Irregardless. Its the same difference. Your just to picky.
too*
YOU’RE
It’s*
*Regardless
Irregardless? LOL. Are you from Jersey or something?
It’s the same OR no difference.
I am really hoping you were trying to be ironic.
Since the prefix ir- means “not” (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means “without”, irregardless is a double negative[1], and therefore would be expected to have the meaning “in regards to”, when that is not the intent.
Grammar Nazis from Hell.
lolz.
LOL your spelling correction got more thumbs up than the original comment
There will be a hole in the universe after we do a giant domino effect on Wake Island with mines.
ohh shit your fuckinng right but i dont get it
in the “fault line” mission gameplay you are a guy named black
he is a staff srgent in the us mariens but in the end there is
in earthquake that makes a biulding fall on him so are you black for only
one mission or what he survived??
The persons full name is blackburn or something and they say black for short
Mariens? LOL! Now i see the marines running around like marionettes!
what about when BF4 comes out?
that and battle field 2 not badcompony2 bf2 is only for computer you can buy it for 10$ at best buy it still has 2 mill playing
What do you mean by “going to be”?
whole
Lets hope this is the year where Battlefield will finnaly to outsell Call of Duty. I’m sure Modern Warfare 3 will still be good, but i’m hoping Battlefield 3 will be better.
cod? why? who cares?
Battlefield 3 got game of the year two weeks before it came out, i believe not to sure of how long before it came out, but never the less it got it mw3 can’t touch Battlefield 3
MW3: The title grossed more than $775 million globally in its first five days of availability, exceeding the $650 million record set by 2010′s Call of Duty: Black Ops and the $550 million one achieved by 2009′s Modern Warfare 2. To be exact, it has beaten theatrical box office, book, and video game sales records for five-day worldwide sell-through in dollars.
BF3: Two days after launch, EA CEO John Riccitiello announced via a conference call to investors that Battlefield 3 has already shipped 10 million units within a week of release, with 3 million of those being pre-orders. 10 million copies x $60 = $600 Million + W/E higher editions so let’s say $650 Million tops in a week.
$125 Million less than MW3 with 2 extra days.
Don’t get me wrong, I love both games and have played both of them equally but it’s not correct to say that MW3 “can’t touch” BF3.
You need to be careful with those EA statements. BF3 shipped 10mil to retailers, it didn’t sell 10mil to consumers, it sold 5mil in 7 days compared to MW3s 9.6mil in one. Obviously EA felt pressured so they released a deliberately misleading statement.
Regardless, 5mil in a week is still a lot of units shifted.
i know
So if i buy BF3 (not the Limited Edition) it comes with the Back to Karkand free? Or it comes just with the limited edition?
I asked Direct2Drive the same exact question. Only if you get the “Limited edition” sold by EA and certain retailers, you’ll get the Back to Karkand thingy. Otherwise, if it isn’t the Limited edition you don’t get it.
I bought the pre-order game from Game-spot today, but the receipt just said the game. Even though I pre-order it from Game-Stop I still have to go back and buy the limited edition one?
I preordered it from gamestop too. Check your receipt to see if there is an “LE” after it says battlefield 3.
If you ordered it from gamestop then you will get the LE for 59.99$
no it doesnt say limited edition on the recipt if ea says its limited edition when u preorder then the shop HAS to do the deal so they have to give u it
yes but you still get the later-to-come physical warfare pack free because that is for everyone
no.if you dont preorder..the DLC will come out maaaaaaaybe around the time the DLC for MW3 comes out :/ that is why i preordered mine
it will be worth it
We need something answered:
Will Back to Karkand a map pack or expansion? Meaning: will the maps be put into the standard rotation, or will you be forcing clans to get new servers like you did for BC2:Vietnam to play them?
I hope the answer is it is it is a map pack.
it is both it adds maps and guns and gun mods but you do not have to be in a seperate server list just to play the maps they will just be added in and you select whether or not you want to play them.:)
WTH?! You didn’t need new servers for vietnam! You will just change the gamemode that is running currently. I think we won’t need to do that in BF3, thats why they didn’t put it on steam because of DLC’s
Pingback: Yet another Battlefield 3 pre-order bonus, time time “dog tags” - Battlefield 3
please throw bad company in the trash can! bad company is laggy slow and sucky i hate it. i love bf2 because of the speed change weapond fast and press when you scroll weapons. not just scroll and get a weopond but scroll and press weopond.
bfbc2 suck bf2 rock because of fast movments and not laggy! make bf3 like bf2 pleeeeeease
Bfbc2 does not suck!Also how can you compare the both?Bf2 was releast long time ago and you compare it to a game that got one few years ago?Are you fucking crazy?
Also it doesnt lag,youre comp just sucks
BC2 did not even have VOIP… neither does BF3 for that matter, so… as far as I’m concerned, 2142 is the last game worth playing, unless the flags get spread out, we get more playable area on EXISTING maps (I’m not going to pay $90 for 4 maps), and VOIP with auto channel management gets fixed.
Idiot, BC2 is laggy for you cause your connection SUCKS!!!!! It has dedicated servers
Its high time to change your sucking graphic card…. not game
Oh my god, honestly once I get BF3 and Tes V: Skyrim I’m gonna become a hermit.
Lol i know right, Its a shame hitman wouldn’t be released right around that time.
Wait Wake Island like in in 1943?
yes
No. It’s going to look different. Just like all the Wake Island remakes for BF Vietnam, 2, 2142.
No, like in 1942, it came out way before 1943 (not a real bf game btw)
WAKE ISLAND <3 Best Map ever made for MUltiplayer <3 THX!
i think battlefield 3 is much better tham call of duty mw3
hoo-ahh finally, justice
I think that both of them are going to be great game. I hate seeing people speak poorly of either games simply because they prefer a series. In the end, I’m going to be spending a lot of time on both. Plus, no one really knows which will be better until they come out. Also people have their preferences on if they like slower, tactical gameplay of BF or faster, arcade style fps like COD.
MW3 won’t be great game! Why? Simple : same engine, same weapon sounds, same voice sounds, same graphics, same tiny maps, same douche bags, same screaming kids = modern warfare douchery
Also they fired the entire dev team that did MW and MW2, so…. yeah
BTF 3 is amazing and nobody can say otherwise, the only difference between COD is modern warfare 2 was such a hit it grew a bigger fan base, that is the only reason it will be more popular.
Let’s hope we make it till 2012
are those extra guns for everyone or just the ppl in uk?
i pre ordered the bf3 le so do i get the t-88 and d-12 shotgun?
I believe you will get all of those weapons when you pre-order, it’s probably what is meant when it says “exclusive weapon” for the T-88, silencer and fletchette. as for the DAO-12 shotgun, I’m not sure what it means as “Day 1 Access”. maybe LE players get it free but others can buy it as a DLC on day 1. Idunno.
it means you preorder and you have to use the code in one day to get that specific gun
The DAO-12 is available to every one but the LE players unlock it day one every one else gets it around level 30 or 40 i think. The ammo, type-88, and flash suppressor for the sks are all exclusive meaning you only get it if you have the PW pack
No bob, it actually means that it’s a free unlockable that comes with the game, you just unlock it straight away.
I think those weapons are only for people in your town.
So you have to pre-order BF3 to get Back To Karkand thing?
correct
or you can pre-order and get it free
Wait, what maps don’t you have to buy?
the maps that come with the and and when the physical warfare pack comes out that is for free to all people
When you pre-order, when do you get to play the game?
When it will be officially released and that is,the 25 of october i beleive
user BF3ftw you will be able to play it “oct 25 2011″. To have Strike At Karkand Expansion Pack you must preorder Limited Edition, also you won’t get physical warfare pack that is only for UK game retailers and Gamestation UK.
actually physical warfare pack comes out in us 2012
Bob why dont you stfu and stop saying shit that isnt true. The Physical Warfare pack comes out for everyone ELSE that doesnt preorder in the UK or Australia one year after release.
So when the game first comes out, the only map that is there that isnt with the Back To Karkand DLC is Operation Metro?
You only can see the operation metro map because the multiplayer mode its still in alpha version they don’t to test maps they want to test functionality.
Yea, the game will have only one map.
LOL

Now I just said “put it down on BF3.” So, does this mean thar I will be getting the DLC? theyres no way in hell I will be missing these maps as it will take me back to when I was 10 years old playing this game. I need them, and I need to know if I should switch it up, help?

DICE is stupid! they release alot of DLC when the game is not even out yet that’s fucking ridicoulous!
