If you look up battlefield 3 aftershock on google news and translate the Chinese article that was posted 19 hours ago, it says it's expected to be released before Christmas!!!! DDD
So slidetoplay just played an early version and it sounds like it wont be coming until next year... Oh and it will most likely be freemium so I think its safe to say that trend is sticking around.
I guess GL isn't the only big campany that is following this trend. As long as it isn't like GL's pro football12, I am cool with that
Apparently it's in an "incredibly early pre-alpha" stage. We"ll probably be lucky if it's released before February. Shoot. At least it's more time to make it even better I guess... And if it really is a freemium then I am disappointed. I'll still buy it. But still.
Except for freemium, how big maps are in relation to BC2, and it's in pre-alpha stage other than the generic "early" stages.
Scratch what I said earlier. IGN says it's coming out on December 30. Finally, a concrete date from a trustworthy source.
Does anyone else think that there is slight chance that there might be vehicles in this?, Bad Company 2 had vehicles, I also read an article on Joystiq saying that EA wants aftershock to be on par with console versions.The game looks great graphically and after all it still is in pre-alpha stage(mostly likely just alpha or early beta now). They're obviously trying to compete with any modern warfare like games(*cough* modern combat 3), and its already been confirmed that the game has over 50 weapons and ragdoll physics, also the article on joystiq says that EA might put a more deeper and interesting single player campaign.
It has wave-based shooting from what I read on TA's hands-on, so no story. It has multiplayer so it might have vehicles there. I hope Maybe it has killstreaks like in MC3 and some of them are controlled vehicles
The joystiq article is recent by the way, and for the love of god no killstreaks...killstreaks will never be right in any battlefield game, it would seriously ruin it.
Well I haven't played BF, only CODs so I can't comment on that, I was just suggesting that some vehicles would be awesome.
well they either need killstreaks or vehicles. If they don't ad any of the two the multiplayer will be pretty boaring compared to say Modern Combat 3.
I think the fact that it having more than 50 weapons will make it a bit more interesting than modern combat in multiplayer, im still hoping there is vehicles though.
The ammount of weapons doesen't really matter after a certain point, because in the end they're all quite similar.
Not to mention people only want to buy the most powerful weapons, which mean that they will not use all the weapons in the game.
Once again, EA wants artershock to be on par with console version, im a Battlefield fanboy/veteran( since bf1942). I can tell you that in battlefield games, the most powerful weapons doesnt mean the most kills, unlike call of duty and modern combat. Also with this 50+ weapon line up, its gonne be quite difficult for most players to just want to stick to one gun, especially because the weapons are customizable this time around. There is just too many combinations to get bored(if the game is good overall). It takes a good 2 weeks for me to get tired of using a gun.
