That is a great looking teaser but I'd like to see some MP gameplay, I'll reserve my judgement at the moment.

I was tempted to go ahead and pay for it in advance....despite all the probablt ehadaches we have from constant fixes (Re " Bad Company 2) at initial releasew after Beta.
But then I remembered back a few days and thought of all the people who did the same for Battlefield 1943 (PC edition)...and had to wait for a year after the intended release date to find out they weren't going to get it after all.

EA blew all thier chances this past year...I can see BF3 being the last straw game with them as far as PC gaming is conerned.

I think it's just sad games have to resort to gimmicks such as day 1 unlocks or exclusive map packs that you have to pay for if you don't pre-order. Then those people often get suck with a buggy turd with no hope of getting their money back.

Now you get punished for being a smart consumer by waiting after release day to see what the game is really like. Digital distribution methods needs a return policy option imo, even 3-7 days so that consumers don't get ripped off. Bet devs and publishers wouldn't be so fast to push a buggy game threw the door if people had the option to get their money back.

I have seen BC2 in 20$ couple of times. New game = 60$ = Tons of issue and patches to come.

After 6 months, game becomes little stable and price drops to 20$.

Simple maths tells me, I should buy stable game in 20$ and not beta versions in 60$. ;)

While the BF3 in-game teaser graphics look great, I wonder at what cost. Will you need a computer from NASA to run it at those settings. I have a gut feeling it may turn into another crysis for steep system requirements.

I think if anything hurts this game it will be the higher system requirements. Wonder if any Windows XP owners pre-ordered thinking they can run it.

I'm preordering, pardon my language, I don't give a shit about the details I was a hardcore BF2 player. Got called hacker a lot, used teamwork to the extreme, so I'm all for an updated version of BF2. And for those of you complaining about how "buggy" games are, no game is perfect upon release, NONE. BC2 took many patches but now works fine.

It is a sad, but understandable, reality for dev's to do this. Whether or not we agree with it, is another argument. :)

We'd be blind to not see the way its going. But I'd sure like to see EA give EB one last shot. Not so much as they've earned it, but just in hopes they can get their SS utility in line w/ 2011.

Without it, theres not alot of difference between the two choices.

I'd like BF3 to be the best and last military fps I buy for a long time. My two main worries is a repeat of e/candy over Battlefield specific features, and VAC.

I was just about to make a long and very boring post too about why I didn't want to see VAC included.

My sentiments exactly.. when did people stop playing games for fun and start playing them to pick them to shreds or complain before they even try? If it aint for you don't play it.. simples. Read too many forums where they judge a game on everything but the fun factor. When did it become cool to be so damn negative?

I will pre-order too... been waiting for this for a long time. Heck... I was going to pre-order before "Back at Karkand" was announced. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
