Battlefield 3 Beta OPINION

Posted on by

Disclaimer, I have not played the first 2 battlefields so I’m speaking from a stranger to the series view, and I do know that it’s still in beta stage still.

Presentation

The graphics are amazing. I was blown away when I loaded up the demo. Everything looked realistic from the water when you walk in it to the falling trees when a grenade explodes by it. The lighting is top of the line as well, when you are outside the way the light dances across the water is great and when you go into the tunnels, it’s dark and gloomy, just what a tunnel is suppose to be. And the way the shadows play across the light sources in the tunnel is great as well.

Gameplay

It took just a few minutes to get use to the control layout. Sure the look down the sights and fire are the same, but instead of holding b or circle like in other shooters to crouch, you had to press down on the right thumb stick. There were other slight changes, but as I said, after a few minutes I was able to move around like I’ve played all my life. The recoil of the guns seem to a little bit over the top, because when I fired at someone even with sorts bursts, the recoil shot the sights up, so for the most part I was facing a re spawn screen for most of the game. And yes, I have played it for good while and still it does that to me. The overall game is focused on being realistic. You don’t have your friend’s name over his head all the time, you have to point at him to see his name so in game, and it’s not as distracting. So overall, it’s a good game, but I’m going to stick to Call of Duty and if one of my friends get it, I’ll play it.

Hey folks I was able to get a hold of a computer this Thursday night so thankfully I can do the news tonight. Any who lets get going.

Incase you have not heard DICE studious have released a beta for Battlefield 3. Yes that means I am skipping my Russian Politics class Monday AS SHOULD YOU!!!!!! I personally have not played it yet due to an injury I got at work and can’t drive to renew my xbox live gold membership (actually I lied im just a lazy bastard but I really did get hurt at work X( ) so from what I heard its one map and you play the gametype rush just like previous Battlefield betas. No vehicles from what I hear but it’s still awsomeness in a beta. Regardless check it out and see what DICE has to offer. Really you have nothing to lose from this.

Also for you COD / BF war mongers check out this article from IGN. I think this is part of the reason why BF3 might knock off COD as the big shooter.

So want to guess how many copies Gears of War 3 sold? Hmmm anyone? Anyone wish to venture a guess?? No? Y’all a bunch of p*ssies!!!! Seriously Epic games sold over 3 million copies of Gears of War 3 surpassing the One-Billion Dollars mark (Yes I said that in my Dr. Evil voice deal with it the Austin Powers movies are the big-mac sauce). This momentous occasion has also marked that Gears of War 3 has grossed more than any other video game in 2011. My personal congrats to Epic Games on this milestone for the year and for making the good game. However Do not be surprised if BF3 or MW3 take that mantle in October and November.

Rumor has it Xbox and Playstation might be considering TV viewing on their consoles. Again this is just a rumor but I have to bring up the point and ask is it just me or is Microsoft and Sony just using the 360 ad PS3 as Beta’s for their next console. Quote me on this and talk to me in a year from now.

As always check back here every night (or early morning) for your daily gaming news here on gamingcollege.net . And before I forget if you ever wondered if someone ever made a kid cry on xbox, the proof is below. Goodnight all and go for the headshot.

It’s Friday, Friday, getting down on Friiiday!!!!! Don’t worry I can write this, she was bullied out of school. Well it is Friday and boy is it needed. Today some pretty good gaming news came through and it isn’t boringish.

First thing I noticed today was Nike’s newest shoes. Now most people probably don’t care so much about what Nike is doing, unless it involves Indonesia and children. But today the bids started for their limit edition Marty McFly shoes. Yes, Nike has made 1500 pairs of the famous self tying shoes from the even more famous movie Back to the Future II. The money from the shoes is going completely to the Micheal J Fox foundation for Parkinson disease research, so that’s a good thing. Google co founder Sergey Brin announced that Google will match the proceeds up to 50 million dollars until 2012. Now this is pretty much is just the epitome of awesome, McFly shoes, 100% of proceeds going to charity, and Google is matching those proceeds, what could be bad for you and me. Well the downside is that in the first round of bids, one pair of sneakers went for a whopping $75,000 and at the moment the lowest starting bid is at $4,050! Oh and those are for size 7′s, if you want anything in normal people sizes, you have whip about a minimum of another thousand. If you want to check out the ebay page and add a dollar to the cause just click here.

If you don’t want to pay a mortgage to get some shaweet shoes, then just donate to the Micheal J Fox foundation! Every dollar brings us one step closer to finding a cure.

Today is also a day that will be lived in infamy. Activision has won their lawsuit over the domain name ModernWarfare3.com, and boy did they go at this site hard. And by hard I don’t mean like a RPG to the face, I mean like a AC-130 on Wasteland during Ground War. For those of you who don’t remember, back in early July, it was realized by the gaming community and more importantly the higher ups in Activision, that the site ModernWarfare3.com was not owned by the publishing giant. While this shouldn’t have been something to laugh or worry about, it turned out that it was Activision being caught with their pants down. The site actually redirected you to Battlefield 3, and it was a stunt that EA didn’t even know about. Much of the hilarity is for the fact that Activision didn’t buy the domain name to a game that will probably have the biggest entertainment launch of all time. Now if you type in the website, it just directs you to google or bing, so that kinda sucks.

And it is not just Modern Warfare 3 that is being talked about, but also Modern Warfare 4. At the Call of Duty XP weekend, Sledgehammer CEO Glen Schofield stated that he would basically doing flips if he was offered to do MW4. “If they said ‘you’re doing Call of Duty something else’,” he continued, “I’d be pretty excited about it.” It’s pretty much confirmed with this that Sledgehammer’s next game will be a Call of Duty game…I don’t know how to feel about this…

 Last thing that you might actually are about today is that Blizzard announced that there will be 6 new products coming out in the next 3 years. Now put yur junk away you dirty little boys, it has already been confirmed that 3 of those 6 products is stuff we already knew about. Expansions to WoW and Starcraft II along with Diablo III. Now these are still things to get all revved up for, but personally I was hoping for new things, not things I know about.

Resistance 3 Review

PSN: Lilbalar

One of the finest shooters on The Playstation 3 has returned (And no it’s not Call of Duty). Resistance 3 is here and let me start by saying, if you have a PS3 and enjoy shooters then go out and buy this game! For all of those who haven’t played the first two games I highly suggest doing so, as their story modes are exceptionally fun. However, it is no secret that in spite the great story in the Resistance games they lacked a little in the form of game play mechanics. But this is not the case for Resistance 3. Insomniac manages to nail every aspect of the shooter category spot on and finally in a genre spoiled with games that care nothing about story and atmosphere (Call of Duty that would be you) finally a game comes along and with each step of the journey you can see the love and care that went into creating it.

Not since Metal Gear Solid 4 has my jaw been dropped to the floor as I played through the campaign. The world is so well created that I really believed that I was in the main characters shoes. You really see earth gone..yes, gone. The War is over and earth lost, and you see all the tragedy of it. Missing kids being reported over the airwaves, flooded cities, people lying dead in the streets, and letters from people pleading for help that you find throughout the game that not only brings up the words on screen for you to read, but Insomniac goes an extra step and customized each one so you can see that persons handwriting and read the original letter in its entirety. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the music (That’s right I’m talking about music in a review). The music added so much depth to the atmosphere that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, slowly creeping around every corner, or getting choked up over all the carnage that surrounded me and the people dying. Remember the first time you played Bioshock? Well that’s the same eerie feeling you get while playing this game.

Battlefield 3

By: Anthony Loglisci

Battlefield 3 is not just any FPS. It has its own unique attributes that most FPS’ do not share. The Battlefield franchise is known for there realistic game play features and they surely did not falter on that this time around with Battlefield 3. If you saw any of the E3 coverage this past June you saw the awesome power and great game play that DICE studious unveiled about Battlefield 3 and could possibly give the Call of Duty franchise a run for their money.

Not too much is known about the single player in Battlefield 3. You take on the role of Staff Sergeant Henry “black” Blackburn and/or Sergeant Miller of the Marine Corp. It is 2014 and you start out in the Middle East. At one point of the story you are on the Iran/ Iraq border fighting the enemies of the US. During the campaign you will find many firefights and gun battles as many have seen before in the past Battlefield games. Basically when it comes to the single player expect more of the same but better. What’s better? Better graphics mostly because of a new engine that DICE has integrated with Battlefield 3. The combination of the new engine and the real life game play will surely give buyers a good run with the campaign. Oh did I mention you can drive vehicles again? Now who doesn’t like that? Now there have been rumors of a few new surprises in the single player but we will have to play the game to find out.
