This should be interesting. CoD using Steamworks, BF3 using Origin. Both are large names but...

...MW2 and Black Ops also used Steamworks? Some people seem to be treating this as a big new development, especially with Steam vs Origin but it's more of an expected confirmation than anything.

Crossing my fingers! That would make the difference between a pc or console purchase.

This is a console game for me regardless. Just like RTS and FPS games are best played on a PC, games like this are best played on a console, IMO.

Anyways loving the game, so happy that we finally got something that reminds me of less simplistic times in the gaming industry.

Amen. I just hope people will buy it, especially the PC version. They went through a shitload of trouble to make this a proper PC game (I doubt Nixxes worked cheap) and it may well be that if it doesn't sell well, nobody else will ever make this kind of effort again.

It's a great game. I wish I was home playing it right now.

This bug is such a weird bug that I can't help but blame only the idiot customers who have this specific driver configuration. Old drivers from old video cards at the same time as a new video card?

Yeah. Those idiot who can't afford the latest and greatest hardware! Damn them to hell!

SWEET!! Zero-day patches! Good job publishers! Way to push your devs so hard they can't even fucking QA their unfinished products!

There was a large number of people requesting the return to the "commo rose" type system from BF2 in the Alpha, people making up mock graphics overlaid on top of BF3 screenshots, hundreds of "me too" posts from people trying to get attention from DICE - who didn't interact at all on the forums. It's not going to happen though because it would disrupt the cross platform design too drastically.

Unless the Alpha was really old code stripped to the bare minimum or they've been pulling 24 hour shifts at DICE we'll be lucky to see options to adjust the graphics beyond your resolution and texture detail settings - for example.

The whole thing was extremely "streamlined" and the biggest disappointment was seeing what they've done to the squad system, it was just one step above the "automatic" squading system they used in Medal of Honor multiplayer.

The real question is with all the cancellations from BF3's recent announcements, are they going to be able to fill a 64player map?

This game is the next Brink

I don't know, it looks like Gears of War with a Warhammer 40k skin based on the limited gameplay footage I've seen. Is that accurate?

No it's more like God of War with a Warhammer 40k skin.
