Oh well, at least there'll be hardcore mode.
Hated having to hit guys with a .50 MG 3 or 4 times to kill them in the beta. _________________

I want to know this too, I'm thinking yes, looking at my Crysis 3 limited edition and Dead Space 2 limited edition, but who knows. _________________

So they're increasing health and nerfing damage levels for retail?
Not sure if want. Found the beta mostly balanced with its damage modeling system and there were no real stand out OP things apart from the UMP-45. Hardcore will be all one shot but I hate Hardcore, not my style of play.
I want them to fix the hit registration first rather than focus on making it feel like BC2. Hell, I don't want a Bad Company 3, I want a Battlefield 3. The game is still full of tactics and frantic firefights, you just have to not be an idiot and learn to move appropriately when under fire. Damage modeling is fine imo, fix the fucking hit rego and bugs, THOSE are the problems. _________________

Hardcore will take 3 bullets from an assault rifle at point blank to kill, so it doesn't sound too bad? Weapons do 50% more damage, so it should still be a lot of fun without dying instantly.

Denny I don't think it's hit detection that your having problems with. The shooting in this is odd in that where you are aiming is not where the bullet goes unless your standing still.
After playing some more BFBC2 today I'm not sure where I stand. BF3 feels a lot more visceral and damaging, while BFBC2 is a lot more tactical. Either way I don't have a problem, it's map design and feeling like a BF game that I am worried about.

I'm with Denny on the damage model being fine. When the guy describes the Battlefield 3 beta as too much like Call of Duty, and the build he played as something different, and then goes on to say;
| Quote: | | It leads to more interesting, frantic firefights, including one moment where I killed one enemy with my M4, shot another that came around the corner from the hip, and had to switch to my sidearm to handle yet another opponent a moment later. |
I have to wonder how he played Call of Duty. Cos that is literally how you play Call of Duty; mow down guy to your left, hip kill guy to your right, switch weapons and blow another away. I felt the damage model in the beta, from what I played, was fine; pretty intense and demanding of slower, tactical play, something Call of Duty does not.
And, like with Denny, my problems were the atrocious hit detection and aiming bugs, along with all the other bugs. When your shooting is broken, you've got a big problem.
I do agree with the article, regardless of Battlefield 3's current state, that this particular beta was a dreadful idea. They can excuse it away however they like, but this is the first taste of Battlefield 3 many gamers got, and it is only the fault of EA/DICE if that taste was sour. They fucked up, which is pretty baffling given they're aiming to topple Call of Duty. _________________

Getting kind of annoyed at this limited edition. I could pre-order at EB, but I don't want to pay $110 and I don't know if they'll match prices. I don't know if Big W will sell the limited edition on launch, and if I buy online I won't get it until after the weekend. Might just have to end up paying $110, don't think I've ever paid that much for a game :\

Might not be the cheapest but HN has the Limited Edition going for $78 on consoles.

A lot of people have been told that's not the limited edition though, and I want the limited edition.

Cause 10 days is quite a while for a game like this, and I don't think it's worth saving a small amount of money but having to wait 10+ days (for this game anyways).

I'm in the same boat as you Gecko, I just assumed the limited edition would be the only edition available at launch, kinda like the Crysis 2 Limited Edition.
JB have it for $99 though, might be $89 at launch, they tend to do it cheaper

That's what I thought, but then there are a lot of people saying it is pre-order only. And I don't really want to take the risk of not being able to buy the limited edition at all. I guess I could always pre-order it at EB, see if they'll match Big W's price or if Big W are selling the limited edition on launch and cancel the pre-order. Worst case I end up paying $20 more, which isn't much considering how much I'm going to end up playing this.
