Since most here are PC junkies, is there anyone getting BF3 for console??

PS3 - to be more exact? :whistling:

probably me....

looking to build a tower that can run this, but i dont think i will be able to afford that anytime soon.

already have a ps3, so looks the easiest route.

playstation network name: deadener

For the technophiles and PS3 fanbois

It's DICE's presentation on how they've maximised the ps3 tech i.e. RSX + utilisation of the multiple SPU chips, to perform parallel processing as opposed to serial.

This is basically how the first-party games are made eg. God of War 3 and Uncharted 2+3. Actually, I remember I had also included a similar presentation from SCE Santa Monica on the GoW3 thread.

Without getting into the politics, it's good to see that not all companies laze about on the console and actually put a bit of effort into it... unlike what many PC geeks tend to advise :nyaanyaa:

Dunno what the PS3 version is like but the Xbox version looks like shit.

PC really is on a different level these days though.

The PS3 doesn't fair any better in the 'compare to PC' stakes.

Lol obviously div. PC version is unbeatable.

But it has proven to have higher textures and less jaggies when compared with the xbox version (xbox on top)

The only reason MW3 has smashed pre-sale records is because of the continuing storyline from MW2. I'll give MW3 that - the storyline is fuarking epic and im still buying MW3.

But for realism and graphics, BF3 will SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT all over it.

Realism and graphics are what ruin FPS. COD4 was and probably always will be the best FPS and it had absolutely no realism and terrible graphics.

A good FPS needs 2 things above all else, a good engine, so you move fluently and freely, and BALANCE. Balance is probably the most overlooked. COD4 had reasonable balance (yes it could have been improved), MW2 and BOPS don't.

With enhanced graphics and realism inherintly comes detailed maps and backgrounds which inturn bring camping. When weapons are made to be more realistic the game becomes unbalanced. An example of balance is someone of any playing style should be able to find a weapon class that suits them and be competitive to the point of their skill level with no weopon class or playing style having an overall advantage over any other. The most skilled player ie: the winner, should be the one who can adapt and excel at any playing style or weapon class required.

The single player on COD is a waste of disc space really and is certainly not what drives it's record pre-orders. The multiplayer is what sells it and keeps bringing people back.

Bottom line is BF and COD are 2 very different games that don't appeal to the same people. BF is for strategists, in COD we refer to them as campers.

I'll be buying MW3 and probably won't even glance at BF on the shelf on my way out the store.

I totally agree with what you said except for "BF is for strategists, in COD we refer to them as campers."

I was all for MW3 (even refer to my previous posts) because I loved the arcade style gameplay but after playing the BF3 beta, I've now converted and have even pre-ordered a copy.

Camping is BORING. There's no enjoyment in it. Perking up on Lightweight, Marathon and Sleight of Hand and running around was my COD style; which seems to work quite well in BF3 too.

Plus, BF3 relies heavily on teamwork to properly progress and is much less reliant on K/D ratios... in which camping is a crappy strategy.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
