You asked why there is so much hate against MW3 that was the answer. I will most probably download the game to play the single player but I won´t give them more then 5€ for that.
Well FIFA is also a money-cow but still since MW1 came out (5 years ago?) they upgraded the graphics, the physics, added collision physics, improved the AI.
It also sells millions of copies. It´s still a football game... but it develops.
BF also sells millions of copies and still they changed the game engine at least twice, introduced real destruction, improving that destruction, the ranking system thingy (free of course), the weapon and vehicle upgrades even while keeping balancing in mind, worked on the weapon feel, improved the graphics.
Just to name a few things.
MW... well in MW1 they had dogs in the single player, in MW2 they had dogs in multi player (and the awesome atom bomb), and in MW3 the dogs will even explode... awesome... (btw, I think it´s even still the same model and textures as in MW1).
Nobody bags COD having aliens in the game, but technology improving quickly so is SOME improvement should be made if they want to get 60€ from everyone every year (this year they of course get even more money with the least possible effort).
Fun fact: in 4chan people discovered what is missing in FPS games, the answer was dinosaurs... the first in game thing you see in the BF3 tank trailer is... a dinosaur. Dice just listens what people want to see.
Well actually im pretty happy if they stay where they are... I want to enjoy my gaming experience and not get screamed by little children. Look at the attachment, 13 year olds love MW3 18 year olds love BF3
I guess almost everybody will agree with me that modern warfare is fun in a quick game but,
Have you played the games?? Tell me ONE reason why I should pay 60€ every year for a new story and some new maps. It´s the EXACT same thing over and over and over again.
Dice develops, they look what works and what not, they don´t just throw something on the market like activision. If something isn´t right, they change it even after the release. MW3 will have map packs. BF3 will have them too, but must probably FREE. BF3 has also something like the COD´s Elite thing, but FREE.
When Dice makes something and people complain, they listen to them and change it so that everyone can be happy, Activision just throws something on the marked and if people complain... nvm deal with it.
Every game reviewer site I´ve seen was like BF3: WOAH AWESOME. MW3 yes it´s a nice game... again.... but expect ANYTHING new.
I´m really looking foreword to the release of these games. Let´s see if the kids realise that the cake is a lie.

Scawen already told that this is the reason why they wont talk to us. If he says "We PLAN to do [insert content here]" and things don´t go as planed or they realise it wouldn´t fit to LFS people will start spamming around like it "was" with the already mentioned S3...
And a progress report will be this: "I am still working on the tire physics, because they just won´t act the way I want. Now leave me alone I have to code"
The only thing I don´t understand why he doesn´t release a IMPROVED version of the tire physics. I mean are really THAT many people focusing on hotlaping? I mean he says the physics got a lot better but still has some flaws. Well the current physics also have flaws and I guess that would make most people happy.
As far as I know multicore stuff is insanely hard to make. And even harder to implement in an already existing code. And at 60 frames per second the only thing that could happen would be, that the wheels don´t rotate as blurry as usual.
I had several times strange visual problems with blender. They appeared randomly even after I stay month with the same build and same graphic card driver. But when they appeared a driver update always fixed it.
+ 1: swear filter are good
- 1: don´t think developers need to waste their time with that since it is already done via insim
- 1: because you can´t really draw a line of what is a swear word and what not because of different languages. For example a friend of mine got kicked twice because he explained me how to drive a sector the best since the german word for "turn" is "kurve".
S3 has nothing to do with the game engine... S3 just shows what content you are allowed to use. For example the VWS will be available for S1, the updated tire physics will be for demo, S1 and S2.
It won´t be called S3 because it´s finished. It will be called S3 because a new set of content will be available. After S3 is out, the development will not just stop. It´s not even said S3 will be the final stage.
Nobody ever gave a hint that a new game engine will be used.
woooooooooooot you don´t just open the dds folder typing in: change brightness x% + / -
you know the witchcraft that tells a game how and when to add light and where to put shadows (and even tells the car how many hp´s it has) is called game engine...
and as far as I know this game engine doesn´t support any movable lights, dynamic shadows etc...
and I don´t know if scawen can even programm this since IIRC all the dx stuff was made by someone else
Hmmm if you convert 2 triangles to a quad you still have 4 polys. (you have one face instead of 2 and 4 edges instead of 5 but you still have the same poly amount or have I missed something?)
I never said the games will look the same. I said they look very similar (look at the ps3 vid it´s the exact same animations, the same models, but with worse shadows, lightning etc) you can still see in the first millisecond: THIS IS BATTLEFIELD 3. That´s what I call very similar. And in the post I mad just after the one you quoted I even confirmed that the pc version looks better.
Sorry if my point wasn´t very clear I just wanted to say that the 360 version would never look "horrid". The difference between ps3 and 360 will be like always very minor. I know this game is made for pc (in fact BF3 is the only game, I know from that has better lightning on pc then on the other versions). And I love that since I love playing on pc and as posted will get the game for pc.
About "all it´s potential". What is all the potential of a pc? There is not the one and only pc that you can squeeze every bit of computing power out of.
And I´m not whining... I´m just saying how it will most probably will be.
This is pointless. All games that release on several platforms will always look veeeery similar. I mean this game is called on no platform "Battlefield 2.5", so it will look on every platform very similar.
Another example is crysis 2. It had more potential but they had to limit the PC version because it has to look on every platform similar.
(will get BF3 on pc though because of obvious reasons )
If you like to compare a new console that is build only to play games then compare it with a new gamer-pc (which can do a looooooooooooooooot more then just play games way better than any console)
