DICE discusses Battlefield 3 Dino Mode, with more attention it could be developed

Until now, this huge request by fans have been ignored by DICE and has never been spoken about publicly. But, today the Battlefield 3 community manager has commented on what fans would want from an addition such as this.

[Emilio_Estevez]

BF3 Dino Hunter mode - like a Monster Hunter game? I'd pay for that.

[Deputydon]

To my knowledge people originally wanted it to be similar to zombie mode in blops. 4 players being invaded by dinosaurs.

[deadpoole]

What I would really want

1. 12 Humans vs hordes and hordes of AI dinosaur from every where (rangin from big Trex to V-Raptors)

2. Survival of last squad (out of four human squads) against Hordes of AI Dinosaur Attack.

3. Last man standin in horde of AI dinosaur Attack.

To be honest playin as a Dinosaur never appealed me just like bein a zombie in Left4Dead series.

Fellas I don't have twitter account pls give DICE these modes idea ... thnx

[Solid_Malone]

that would be a great idea :), the only problem is, will the consoles be able to handle it?

[Deputydon]

@Deadpoole, really you never liked playing as a Zombie in L4D? I find that amazing because I'm someone that never liked playing the campaign mode at all. Versus mode was so much fun if you got together with friends and played, but more importantly, it was fun even with just random people. Trying to play campaign mode on harder difficulties was near impossible because everyone sucks at the game.

As a side note, I do think playing as dinosaurs would be lame.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

It would be really awkwardly funny if it was biologically acurate...

"What? You mean that little chicken is a velociraptor? Oh look, it can fly! ... GET IT OUT OF MY NECK!!!"

"Look out, Pteranodon... Oh no he got me! And now he can't fly with that much weight... Don't kill it, it's furry and warm in here"

"Look at the T-Rex! It's so... fluff? Let's redo that JP scene, keep the jeep at 20mph..."

[BattleAxe]

The fact that DICE hasn't made this mode yet shows just how far behind the curve they are. They just don't get it.

[deadpoole]

T-Rex, VRaptors and Dactyles will be amazing in this game.

[SolidStoner]

I sometimes want to see a giant robot in BF3 multiplayer (tank sometimes isnt enough).. when you get pissed off by someone shooting you with sniper rifle 3 times in a row.. I just want to grab that robot and beat the sh** out of him :) removing roof and making head shot with giant robot arm red laser beam blaster power gun .. ptishhhhhhh!

[crxss]

basically i want a system similar, but better, than Nazi Zombies. 4P co-op (or more if possible) versus Raptors. Instead of buying weapons off walls you just keep playing to unlock them like in the MP (a separate exp level for this mode?). As more of the map gets unlocked, vehicles can be bought in order to take out larger dinosaurs such as a T-Rex or aerial fights with Pterodactyls.

I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY AS A DINOSAUR, just want to shoot them in every way possible.

[irepbtown]

It's simple isn't it?

Lets Tweet #BF3Dinos people!!!

[NastyLeftHook0]

ID PAY $120.00 FOR THIS DLC

[SolidStoner]

It should be included in BF Premium... than it would be worth even more!

[crxss]

if everyone trends the sh!t out of #BF3Dinos it WILL HAPPEN. do it everyone.

[GamingPerson]

lol true console gamer huh?

[Flavor]

Sorry but this would be stupid... it would be funny for thirty minutes then I'd never play it again. rather they just release mod tools, then some shut in can bring us wonderful useless dino mode.

[Legion]

It should be similar to Turok. Have the same battles but place the Dinosaurs in the middle of all the carnage. Harder to snipe when you have a set of raptors hunting the area. Better get in a safer area! And running from cover to cover or even to different flags would take on a new meaning. Maybe vehicles might be the safer way to transport people to a fight now... ? (like it should be)

Add some similar tactics as they did in Turok multiplayer... were you can use blood bags to attract Dinos to an area. Even toss the bag onto an enemy or as a special claymore type that will mark the enemy for Dinos to prey on them.

Tanks having to fend off T-Rex attacks and taking damage from them. Triceratops thinking vehicles are encroaching in their territories and fighting back.

Even have Dinos fighting Dinos similar to Tresspass... with Dinos having an AI system that would allow them to react to situations around them. Buzz a Dino with a Heli or Jet and watch it turn away from it's attack for a moment to see what just entered it's territory.

Many things could be done... the question is what will they do and how will they make it so it isn't just another Horde mode gametype? Make it playable within the same realm as what we have now for multiplayer.

[Spenok]

I'd be all over it if this happened.

[Ken22]

Hmmm am i the only one who thinks the "AfterMath" expansion will be this??

[Pandamobile]

Aftermath is likely to be city maps. Perhaps "End Game" though ;)

[Hufandpuf]

Aftermath is set after the Earthquake in the campaign, so it'll be more or less like destroyed maps in the city.

[Solid_Snake37]

Yeah, makes sense.

[Skate-AK]

Yeah Aftermath takes place in Iraq.

[Clayman]

Are we talking about real dinosaurs here?

[Hellsvacancy]

No, theyll be computer generated, pixels etc

What a silly question

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Can I get what you're smoking?

[SolidStoner]

Its the green sh** with 9 leafs

you dont smoke them! but the flower itself!

Dont do it, if you start you will never quit, not because its addictive (in a way it is), but because you will realize how actually stupid and fun world actually is, and you will want it to continue. :) meanwhile asking questions about dinosaurs on the internet and wanting them to be added in BF3 series!

[WitWolfy]

Dumb idiots wouldnt know a Jarrasic Park quote if it hit them square in the face!

[WeskerChildReborned]

It would be interesting since i don't see how they could execute it.

[SeekDev]

Execute it like this
--> Turok + Battlefield = Battlerok!

But in all seriousness, I'd be content with just putting dinosaurs on the multiplayer maps until they came up with an actual game mode involving them.

[NastyLeftHook0]

TUROK RULEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SeekDev]

Spoken like a true gamer!

[BlackSharinganX]

oorrr orrr, turok + battlefiel= Tu battlefield!. anyone get it ? :D anyone?

[SeekDev]

All of this math is making my brain hurt.

[FalconR289]

If real please oh please let it be a Jurassic Park type map thing. That would be ubber awesome.

[Rampaged Death]

Oh man that would be so awesome !

[3GenGames]

You heard the man, #BF3Dinos needs to trend NOW!

[OcelotRigz]

I dont get it. Dinosaurs are cool and all but does people really want to see them in BF3? Why?
It would be interesting i agree but surely it would be better to have them spend their time working on the game itself, fixing little bugs, solving gameplay problems and maybe bringing us a Battlecorder of some sort?

[Neckbear]

Remember that dinosaur toy in one of BF3's trailers?

It kinda escalated from there.

[Hufandpuf]

Here's where it got started, ironically from a MW3 post.

http://static.fjcdn.com/lar...

When they showed a Dino in the BF3 Thunder Run mission, everyone took it as a sign.

http://pinoytutorial.com/te...

[trenso1]

Plus there was that Easter egg in wake island where you had to find about 6 dinos hidden around the map.

[FunkMacNasty]

@ OcelotRigz -

I agree completely. I dont get the dinosaur hype at all - To me, DICE has created one of the best tactical online shooters this gen. Id rather an expansion/DLC along the lines of B2K or Close Quarters, where the focus is on what Battlefield does best: tactical team-based warfare.

When it comes to Horde/survival mode gametypes, I'd rather that be kept in the CoD Zombies and Gears of War realm.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Tactical? It's not as arcade as COD, but it's not tactical at all... You need too many shots to kill, there's respawn, possibly unlimited ammo supply, auto-heal (on hardcore you need a medic)... Those are all arcade shooter material.

I'm not criticizing the game, I aclually like BF3 a lot, and it does have some tactical elements (rely heavily on teamplay and most modes are objective based), but it's not a full tactical shooter like Socom, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon or Counter Strike.

In fact, even this franchises (except Counter Strike, gotta wait and see) had more or less moved aways from tactical only gameplay... Which is a shame for me, I love tactical shooters, but they simply aren't that popular anymore.

[OcelotRigz]

I know where it all started and stuff guys, but its just that i thought people were kinda joking when they said they wanted a Dino Mode but i realised over the last few months people actually genuinely want a Dino Mode, whatever that entails.
Like i said, dinosaurs are cool and all, but why would you want them in a shooter. I like new things, i like when devs try to be different and innovate, it rarely happens this generation. But this would be a bit too ridiculous, i would see it as making little of a great series if they added a Dino Mode. People went mad over "Close Quarters" because it was 'too cod' and unbattlefieldish, yet everyone is ok with a Dino Mode.

Work on the fixing problems the game has and work on improving the aspects that make this a great game, not on a Dino Mode......C'mon!!!.

[FunkMacNasty]

Amen to that. ^^^^^^

Bubbles..

[typikal82]

Want!

[Delt4]

would that be included with premium? :)

[IaMs12]

Would be nice but dont care id still buy it separate if they did it right. So therefore we need to let them know what we want so they do it right the first time.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I hope I didn't end up paying for Dino mode

[leogets]

dumb idea really. id think DICE would be losing the plot if they atually did this. n e ways my 4 year old son would love to watch me play thoe,hes a dino freak

[WeskerChildReborned]

It's not suppose to be a serious mode. It's just for fun.

[GraveLord]

Never gonna happen. The game will have too little players by the time they develop and release it. It's already way too late.

But if they do it as a free dlc? Go right ahead. Not many people will pay for DLC more than a year after release.

[Majin-vegeta]

Too late??Are you kidding me it would most likely bring in more people especially with something like this.

[Hicken]

Remember: he's here trolling a Battlefield article because he's a CoD fanboy.

[Halochampian]

@hicken

True. COD fans would never buy DLC a year after release because they have their $60 expansion packs every year!

[TekoIie]

Well its funny how you say "Not many people will pay for DLC more than a year after release" because End game will be releasing in March. This game has had two excellent dlc packs so far and i am looking forward to the next 3 :)

[OneAboveAll]

I want this now. I want to be a T-rex and eat someones legs then T-Bag them with my dino sack! MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I think I would have signed up to BF3 premium for that mode...

[Ken22]

Everyone who has twitter start tweeting.

[blackhammer]

Would definitely give some life to BF3.

[Plagasx]

Meh, we need a new Dino Crisis game to satisfy our Dino cravings.

[FunkMacNasty]

^^^^^^that's the best idea I've ever heard on this website! A true lost classic that I'm sure many of us would love to see revived!

[stuntman_mike]

why not do a jurassic park mod for it, now that would be awesome.

[typeN8]

Shooot haaaa.....shoot haaaaa

[hiredhelp]

I love to have dino mode, think about it choppers flying over shootin down pterodactyl. Btw i had to google that word.
And down below you have tanks shooting down T-Rex and solders running from other types of dino with back legs and a tail with big teeth bad breath.

[irish4life09]

I have never bought DLC for any game,but would definitely for this.

[parasit3]

Sounds BF3 Premium to me.

[swat_teem]

bring on the dinos!!

[FinaLXiii]

Ill get the game if they put something like that shooting terrorists is lame.

[NastyLeftHook0]

PLEASE DICE DO IT!~YOU HAVE A BUYER RIGHT NOW!!!!! I LOVE DINOSAURS!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[will_c_75]

EDF with dinosaurs could finally push me to get BF3

[DigitalAnalog]

The reason I was unable to play BF3 is because I was waiting to upgrade my CPU and mobo to ivy-bridge standard. With this possibly on the way would eat up all my time needed for gaming.

[AusRogo]

Killing dinosaurs in tanks , jets and choppers would be F***ing cool.

[RaidoUK]

fml, this is cod level fail....... please no dino mode.... 2143! spend your time making a game not a gimmick like cod!!

[Soldierone]

It's own game running on DICES engine with BF3 like characteristics? Sure I will check it out. Battlefield with dinosaurs? Seriously now? Then again COD got zombies so it wouldn't be too surprising.

[Breadcrab]

If they make this, I will buy Battlefield 3. #petition

[StarFox]

tweet it. #BF3Dinos

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I still don't understand the appeal with this, at all, especially in Battlefield. It's never even leaned in this direction before, and I can't understand..why dinosaurs? And before anyone says better than zombies, I wouldn't want that anyway.

[turnerdc]

Sounds like that game Dino Beatdown. If they do release this though hopefully it'll have a...smoother...launch than that game did.

[PixL]

Leave BF alone. It's a serious game. Make a separate dino hunting game for kids if they want it.

[mt]

I'll buy the game without thinking if they implement that.

[Huarle]

FFS, the Battlefield Twitter is run by some customer support guys. They are paid to interact with the community and answer stuff and aren't in contact with DICE in any way.

Last time they even tweeted back to a DICE employee (they obviously didn't know that he was one) that he should wait for a bugfix...

They know nothing about the development or what is currently planned.

[NeoTribe]

Hope it happens.

[Pentumsmart]

MAN, I can just imagine us driving round in the tanks, helicopters, jets, vehicles, spraying at the dinos. then we got these fast ones that can almost outrun the cars, then we got the taaaaaaaall ones that can almost hit your helicopters if you fly low and stuff. this needs to happen.

[Drabent]

Well dinosaurs are bigger so with input lag I might have a better chance killing them.

[piek]

#BF3Dinos tweet it

[YourFriendQuinn]

I can't think of anything more exciting than having an arial battle where I'm either in a chopper with two gunners trying to fend off pterodactyls, or racing around with a jet raining down hell on a T-Rex that's attacking my friends. I highly doubt airial vehicles will be included, but a man can dream.

[Strongmad]

This would be a great expansion, Rush mode with dino defence. I would totally want to play as a dino too!!

[SirBradders]

If everyone looks at the aftermath poster (which was the last dlc to be announced, bit weird????) and tell me that does not look like the seen from jurassic park with the guy holding the flair and the dude with glasses in the car behind. :-) can not F*****g wait.

[StarFox]

get this shit trending on twitter NOW #BF3Dinos

[CanadianTurtle]

The FPS genre needs an innovation like this, especially in these big muscle games like BF3. I'm sure it'd be lovable and successful. Look at Zombies mode from WaW, that started a trend for survival modes in shooter genre.

If this is actually being developed and is successful, it could change the shooter industry and inspire other devs to do this wacky crazy stuff.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

If I actually seen such a mode coming, I wouldn't of sold off my copy of the game a few months ago!

[venom06]

THIS WILL RUIN BF3 DICE!!!! DO NOT DO IT.... leave that stupid, kiddy, arcade stuff to CoD and the 12-14yr olds that play it..

[Themba76]

screw dino mode bring on 2143 already

[CaptainFaisal]

They Should make Battlefield 3 Dino Mode a survival Mode, where 4-24 players try to survive on a HUGE jungle map with only their weapons,, veachles, and base! In order to survive players must try to defend their base from Dinos By using any means nessary! And must explore the jungle as a team and scavenge as much supplies and return it to their base! Now this is epic right?
twitter: FM_GamingNews

[molsen81]

I'm not an expert in zoology or the animal kingdom,but I don't think you can kill a dinosaur with an assault rifle. A rocket launcher maybe, but typical weaponry........I doubt it.

[Yomaster]

Even more of a reason to burn the Battlefield 3 HUD into my 51" Plasma 3DTV. >_<

[Gamesgbkiller]

i will be shocked if they added DINOS in the game
but fingers crossed!
