Battlefield 3 Team hit their goals, says producer

Battlefield 3 Team proud of their work in latest game.

Battlefield 3 has been out for a few months now, players have settled in and dug in deep to the shooter. Fans have unanimously agreed that this is one of the best products made by Digital Illusions to date, but how does DICE feel about their own work? Patrick Bach, Executive Producer on Battlefield 3 recently addressed this question in a recent interview with IGN.

Back spoke about the goals DICE has when setting out to make Battlefield 3:

“We wanted to create the biggest and best Battlefield ever. The most immersive and physical first person shooter ever,” said Bach.

So did they do it?

" I think we pretty much nailed it," claimed the producer. "I am very proud of the game and what the team has accomplished. I feel we have created a great platform from where we can keep evolving Battlefield 3, Battlelog, and the series as a whole."

Battlefield 3 has gotten off to the best start that a Battlefield game has ever had, from a sales perspective.

One thing I will say and everyone on here knows me as a huge CoD fan even though I do still play Battlefield. DICE just shits on the competition when it comes to post-release support. There’s really no competitor. To compare Infinity Ward’s service is an absolute joke. Sure they’ll FIX (LMFAO) the odd spawn, or change the way a gun works if it’s really game-breaking (like the Cm901′s fire rate) but anything else and they’re like “NO!!!! THIS IS OUR GAME AND YOU’LL PLAY IT THE WAY WE DESIGNED IT!”

Dice’s take on things is truly amazing: “This is our game, please, tell us, how can we make it better?” When you look at an update log it’s two pages long with small things like “tweaked ADS time on on shotgun attachment” lol. Just tiny things to make the game better. With Infinity Ward it’s like “yeah so we f*cked with the spawns a little that looks f*cking fixed, what? the shitty shotguns are better with extended mags? BETTER FIX THAT QUICK SHARP”
Lol

I agree with AKA IW is a fail developing team with failure sledgehammer. Reason? The spawn system was horrible in Mw2 waw and blkop i know tryarch too but mw3 was horrible i hated blkop since i had ps3 ver but wow id rather play blk op since it had some fun in it then mw3

Unfortunately, ever since Christmas, all the Codtards have polluted the with their blatant stupidity. I can’t even play Hardcore anymore because you get team-killed by a coddie; “Oh my god! It moves, kill it!” They don’t check for friendly indicators at all. They use shotguns with explosive rounds, however, there are excellent ways to counter that. The match will start and they’ll TK “for the lulz” and so on.

  I dont think the christmas noob wave is cod players. If they were cod players, at least they would know how to fucking aim. Instead they’re COMPLETELY useless. A cod player is useless when it comes to objective, but makes a good baseraper or kdr whore. These kids aren’t even good meatshields because they don’t join squads and they spawn at deployment. Please don’t buy your preteens M rated games parents.

I agree that this is the best battlefield to date but i think a lot of us ps3 people would love it even more if voip was on par with the rest of the game. Otherwise, keep doin what yur doin.

I think they got it right. Great graphics, addicting gameplay, blah blah blah. They need mod tools though. Mod tools gave us desert combat and project reality. Just think of PR would be with Frostbite 2.

Anyone else noticed the word “evolving”

Just some Original and quality dlc is all we need now.
Oh and the VOIP on PS3 is terrible.

Back to karkand is kl but an expansion like the Vietnam expansion would be nuts.

  It might be possible but lack of vram means its going to be really costly. I only use my 360 for Halo and I haven’t seen any AA on that. Maybe theres a bit.
  
  But honestly, AA is overrated. Especially when you play on 1080p (PC)

  I responded to the wrong comment thread. Mornings.

  AA is possible on console? I’ve never seen any games use it.
  
  btw FXAA injector for PC = best

  its not lol. the video cards on consoles have little Vram so they cant support it.

  The Xbox does its best to smooth them out when u r close to them, the PS3 dont do shit, Sony told me thats its up to the developers to sort it so its on Dice back
  
  btw the Xbox elite manual says that the Xbox has AA
  
  have a look at Fallout 3 ive got it on xbox and PS3 and Xbox has the best AA
  
  with a PC the graphic card type sort out the AA but u need more power to run the game
  
  AA is software not hardware

great game….i use TDM to unwind (fix the crosshairs)….something about this game keeps me coming back everyday

THINGS THIS GAME NEEDS
-Mod tools
-White balance/color grading options (either that or an official statement on FXAA color correction)
-Better spawns (all modes minus Rush/SQRush)
-alternate HUD? The whole digital/blue thing is cool at first but I’ve grown to hate it.

Otherwise There really isn’t anything wrong with this game. Maps give plenty of strategic options. The conquest maps are good. They focus the action without taking away tactics. The graphics are good minus the awful color grading. Metro in particular has so much blue it’s depressing. Getting into a game has been incident free for me. Battlelog is great. Never drops stats. Let’s you join a game while doing other things. BF3 is optimized well enough. Nvidia drivers are pissing me off (newer drivers leave less overclocking room. I’ve had to scale my shader clock down 20mz) but that’s not DICE’s fault. Over all I think BF hit the mark pretty well. Nice job DIE.
