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

add me, you know you want too...

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.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
