Battlefield 3 Open Beta

[bluntz]

Is BF3 a STEAM controlled game?
Does this connect with PC and console networks?
I want Something That I have control over, to mod as I please.
This looks so much like Nations at War ( A BF2 mod )
Nations at War - Home
Looks like 7.0 is in the works

While the GFX are not as shiny as BF3 there is still lots of life left in BF2
for the mods.

That BF3 Thunder run trailer looks pretty sic
But how much of it is pre rendered I wonder..

It's actually not pre-rendered, just running on full settings in DX11.

And it doesn't use steam, it uses origin.

I just played some BF2 last night. Good times.

They added Caspian border back to the PC beta, time to play again.

I uninstalled, I found the flavor of Origin just as distasteful as Steam. I hate worthless front-ends, and requiring Origin is a clever move, forcing anyone wanting to participate to also participate in a possible competitor to Steam. I mean, if you like war sims, most likely you'll think OPEN BETA? WTFOK!?


I did, and was left wondering why I bothered to dl 3.9gb of fail. I'll avoid things like this from now on, as it seems to me its just tainting the experience from the start.
