BF3 Campaign

[Lone-Star]

What's your thoughts / opinions ??

[The Demon Lord]

There is a Campaign?

[Retardobot]

Keen to find out to be honest.

Is it more or less a tutorial to BF3 MP? Fun, enjoyable?

Played about an hour last night waiting for maintenance, was ok nothing too great. Little slow, being restricted to certain areas can be tiresome, the map and terrain is there but move to far and you are in the red zone. Got as far as the flight scenario before saving and heading back to MP.

One decent thing is that your set controls for MP carry over into SP, something that has annoyed me in many other FPS having a different setup for the two, or being unable to bind certain keys to your liking in SP.

560ti had everything on Ultra and surprising ran really smooth with a decent frame rate, just make sure you switch back to whatever settings you play MP with as it carries over.

I'm keen to try out the SP in order to unlock shit for MP prior to jumping on MP.

Ability to unlock flares for jets via SP?? cause fucccccccccccccck flying without flares at least is shithouse.

Co-op is worth it for the additional unlocks.

Only Co-op gains unlocks? solo?

only co-op. you will have to try your hardest online to get flares

[winter]

Damn, with bloody Mayhem in the air, I don't count on unlocking those for a while, whilst keeping a steady 0.00025 KDR ratio.

[Hessian Blitz]

You'll have to fly ya pants of Mach. HEHEHE

Call me stupid.. but I'm stuck getting to the train engine... can't seem to go anywhere... rifle stuck in door preventing it being opened... can't climb out anything and fraked if I know....

Problem being I cannot pick up the shotty from the door handle.... just does not work.... :(

[pop]

pretty sure you push "e" or "r" to pick up or do a quick time event.

[O-L-W-A-G]

just keep spamming e

[x93355]

Yeah.... it just wont work.... doesn't even prompt or anything... got to be a bug..... playing it on 5040 x 1040 on Ultra :)

Finished the campaign last night, was fun enough but not something I'd really want to play through again. Maybe once more on hard instead of normal but that would be it.

It's so scripted it's ridiculous, even the quicktime events are overscripted so you only have to press a button once or twice (or none at all) for you to win the fight.

[BROX]

By the way, Co-op is super fun. Played through all the missions and unlocked a couple of weapons for multi :)

[Spork]

Had a bit of a blast on SP earlier today, that jet mission where you are a chick in the second seat was sick as.

[BrazillianWax]

i'm having alot more fun on co-op than sp

having said that sp isnt bad at all actually but it's really too short

was the best for me at the moment

Right at the start, in the interview room, when I saw the flawless lip synch and the natural motion of the characters, I thought to myself "this is the next level". I felt like the devs were showing off.

Basically played to the end of the fault line sequence we've all been seeing for six months. Good fun, but there's MP to be had. I'll save the rest for a network outage.

[ninjapirate9901]

The jet level was petty awesome (I actually shot some people down which is change from multiplayer). For the most part though it was fairly forgettable, BC2 had a better campaign in my opinion.

My main issue was with the amount of quick time events scattered through the game. QTE = meh.

[Zerulas]

I'm upto the thunder run mission and yeah it has been mostly a chore so far. I'm not sure if I'll finish it, but I like how you can get a feel of all the guns that would otherwise take ages to get in mp. The g36c and aek in particular feel pretty good, so I'm now looking forward to grabbing them in mp.

The taking off from the carrier seqence had me all

I enjoyed some parts of the campaign but it was buggy, linear, and very scripted.
Campaign and coop are going to have about 0 re-playability. Imo coop should be like Serious Sam, a non stop killing spree.
Tbh I would have preferred that sp and coop were like old skool BF2, at least then you could practice, test your config, etc.

[mattnz]

Naw, then they'd have to release their precious server files.

[Dr Woomanchu]

I am playing through SP, as I am tryuing to break an inverted mouse habit of years before I start with MP. I haven't struck any bugs yet, but I am totally happy with it being scripted. I am expecting a BF3 movie I run around in, and it's what I am getting

[keriboi]

cant get past the first level with the train, spame space and he just wont climb up

[Matt]

Maybe keep reloading the level until it works. I had one major glitch (kirill and vlad level) which only 1 of the 2 NPC's were appeared(not just a texture issue, their cues never happened either) and it took 25 reloads until I got them both and was able to finish the mission

Same mistake I made, when the instruction flashes up you need to hold down the button (Space, E, L Mouse, or R Mouse).

[Spork]

What Lazza said.. If it wants you to click rapidly, then it will make a clicking rapidly motion, otherwise you just click down once, or hold down.
