Battlefield 3 will be intense!

I just got this in my email!

If anyone gets PCGamer, there was a statement of "Stay tuned for the next issue, you won't want to miss it!" Ha! This is awesome, also the graphics in the background are not from the game, an actual soldier.

A few points:

- "Our spies tell us..." That's a good sign.

- The new engine will be expanding on the current frostbite one (exploding buildings and long view distances.)

- MEC and NATO forces verified

- Ranks, Commanders, the good 'ole stuff!

Not only have EA not bothered to stick a few of those games on a ship over to the UK they also haven't bothered to even list Mac as one of the platforms they have games for on their web-site. Considering their CEO stood up at WWDC and told teh world his daughters had MacBooks the Mac showing so far have been worse than shoddy.

Alright guys, you have to understand: this is a lot more important than just YOU being able to play the game on your Mac. This is about the fact that a huge game developer is releasing for the Mac, and that means others will follow. This is a step towards an era when games are developed for the Mac and the Windows versions are just shitty ports.

Bleh, itll be a shit port using cider... Nothing new here folks, move along

Fucking sweet! This would be so awesome.

And TUAW's back in its groove! Lots of great content today :D THANK YOU!! :)

I haven't been impressed with any of the Battlefield games. Weird bugs, sketchy graphics, rampant cheating...meh.

Personally I'm excited for Unreal Tournament 3. Too bad my iMac's X1600 graphics chip will probably be too wimpy to run it, as are the weak graphics chips in the brand new iMacs. Shame...

It's nice to see a large gaming company like EA work towards bringing more native titles to Apple Computers. Hopefully other bigger brands will follow suit and finally admit that OS X is just as much a gaming platform as any version of Windows, if not infinitely better.

I too think BF2142 is a big ol' waste of cash. The Cider crap stinks. Just build a real OS X binary. It's not that hard.

I'm also very disappointed with BF2142's focus on online gameplay. I just don't dig it; trying to find a server that isn't full of Red Bulled-up teenagers who will spank me repeatedly when all I want to do is have some fun in the evening, being booted from servers for no reason at all, the ever-present lag, etc. Just give me a FPS that I can play by myself. I don't know how many times I went completely through BF1942 and still get a kick out of it.

"i have windows xp on my work machine, but i boot into my mac for gaming"

BF2142 is a major disappointment. But a friend of a friend is playing a ciderized BF2 and it plays great. Only the occasional crash (weekly, rather than hourly with BF2142). No network play with the illicit version, but single-player is real stable. Now if only EA would start selling a ciderized version of BF2 I'd buy it (and hope that they don't break it like they did 2142)
