And, um, BC2 doesn't even have motion blur. I've run it maxed out, it just ain't there.

This. And it's best to buy BF games on steam. The inevitable patches are a pain in the ass to update through EA's system.

DICE general manager, Karl Magnus Troedsson has been talking about DICE’s focus on the PC version of Battlefield 3, saying that he feels DICE neglected the PC while they were building the first Frostbite Engine and making Battlefield: Bad Company. He also confirms that the PC will get “the same post-launch campaign” as the consoles in terms of downloadable content, unlike Battlefield: Bad Company 2.


Golly Gee, thank's for allowing us to be fleeced by DLC I guess?

Now that I'm skeptical about.

But I liked getting all of that shit for free. Unless of course he is referring to Onslaught Mode, which PC didn't get at all...not that I much care.

What, you mean you actually thought PC gamers were going to keep getting free DLC forever?

Well I always hoped...

I don't see how they are going to be able to enforce the DLC on non-Steam BF3 users. One person gets it and redistributes it on the web, bam, everyone has free DLC again.

You do realize that booster packs were on the PC for a dog's age, right?

Sure piracy might happen -- but you know what? Piracy might happen on their whole game. They can still try, and I might actually buy it if I believe the value is right (value in terms of a: original game value b: booster pack value c: value of free updates to game intermediate the game and the boosters)

I know the concept is old, but piracy is easier and more common now than it was then. I'll likely buy any expansion they throw us so long as it is priced like an expansion and not an entire game unto itself. I have no problem with devs making money. If people want their product, they deserve to profit.

They could easily take the route some games are already taking and require steam to be installed and tie the product key to that account.
