Anyone going to dust off their gaming skills when BF3 hits in oct?

I am.

Hopefully my rig can handle it, if not I'll be upgrading the video card and/or getting a second to SLi them.

I have all but givin up on gaming but BF just at least keeps me interested. I figure too, it'll be winter and I will have some spare time in the off season. The visual looks killer, i hope the gameplay isn't dunbed down because of consoles. If bf had a great sdk and a redirect like ut99, modding would make it epic, but i saw they aren't looking to supporter modders for this one.

IDK why either, look what the DC mod did for 42. Stoked none the less!

Yeah I don't download many mods for games, unless the server sends them to me when I connect.

I'm trying out the demo. Don't care for it much.

It was difficult to get installed with a LOT of errors that I had to work around.

My son pre-ordered the game for me a LONG time ago but I'm not sure I want it.

Every damned BF game that comes out has cheats designed for it before the game even comes out of beta. Depressing.

Pretty sure that's because the cheats are based upon the engine running the game and not the actual game. Since most games share popular engines, porting them to the "new" game usually isn't difficult.

Still sad though.

I still haven't loaded up the beta, EA's decision to pull it from Steam so they can focus on their own digital distribution software isn't fitting well with me.

The good news is, they already have an aimbot, at least one. It's well confirmed.

EA/Dice really needs to take a stand against cheating and by that I don't mean forcing me to install punkbuster.

I'm seriously considering not buying this game. It's expensive and I'm not interested in dealing with cheaters.

It probably wouldn't be so bad if they tried to be a little less obvious but when they stand in their spawn shooting people across the map as soon as they spawn, well, it's a little stupid.

I agree, but sadly DICE lets PB deal with the cheats and well, PB just doesn't seem to keep updated fast enough.

I'm not considering buying the game simply because I hate that EA is forcing it's digital distribution software on us. I mean, I know Valve did it back in the day with their software and Steam, but all my games are on Steam and I do not wish to have multiple DD clients running that I have to use to play my games.

With that being said, hopefully EA pulls their head out their ass and puts BF3 back on Steam.
