Battlefield 3 Tons of new Info

Battlefieldo writes:

From the fact sheets at Gamescom, we learned about the EOD Bot, Radio Beacon, Micro UAV, Radar Beacon and Smoke Grenades. All of these could be destroyed by the enemy. When you exited the Camera view for the EOD Bot/ UAV, it seemed like they stayed there stationary, so you could use it again later.

Wow look at that setup - rows of rigs with 2x580's in SLI...I wish I was there to try the game out, especially if the machines could be brought home... :-D yeah yeah like EA would allow that.

Are the smoke grenades actually useful this time? In BFBC2 they were pathetic. It didn't cover much of anything and they dissipated in five seconds.

I agree

I wish I had a monster PC to play this.

As with most games, you're better off playing this on a pc.

Especially this one though, it was made with pc in mind.

Pc rules, yet again.

Apparently this will be classed as an elitist comment, while most of the comments on this site are about how great the ps3 is.

It isn't though, because this game will be superior on pc. Far superior because the ps3 doesn't have the gaming power a decent (or even half decent) pc has. It's not in the same league at all.

If you disagree with this comment, make a blog about it. I won't care what you say, but feel free. I'll laugh while reading it later.

The ps3 hasn't got an MP game of this calibre, the pc has though. And while you might get to play it on ps3 or 360, it's only like a trial version. You have to buy a pc to play the full version.

Do yourself a favour and save some cash for a decent pc, you'll be better off in the long run.

And no, it doesn't cost over $2000 or £2000 for a good one, it costs far less. And yes, you can play it while sitting/laying on your couch/sofa. And yes again, you can play it with a controller.

In proper HD as well.

[No Way]

I feel sad for you ..

[iamnsuperman]

"In proper HD as well." as opposed to not proper HD??? I didn't no there was proper and not proper HD. I always though HD meant High-Definition not highest definition.

But then again I must be mistaken /s

I agree with No Way. PS3 is the trail version???? What does that mean. Get a life

[Halochampian]

I love how you only say PS3.

Thought I agree with you.. find it funny that you only reference the PS3 instead of saying PS3/360.

[iamnsuperman]

@Halochampian Sorry that wasn't intentional. Both versions are not trail version. That is what I was getting at
