It looked pretty, but wasn't too interesting. I can appreciate some varied pacing, but it was a stage demo. That intro of driving along with nothing happening was far too long.

Well sir that's your opinion and I can't blame you for that. With that said you are wrong.

This. Pinworm, please.

BF3 MP now on GTs live stream before Nintendo's presser. Go get!

Are tank battles EVER exciting? This was the best tank battle I ever saw, and by far the most realistic one outside of a simulator what with all the movement and the sounds and the puddin pops awwwwww

Gosh darn it. No new MP footage! Foulplay!

Going from gunner to driver and shooter and then to a video overlay that calls in airstrikes, as the same person, fluidly: Realistic presentation of war scenarios.

I hope reading wasn't one of your better subjects in school.

You still described what I put as "trying to be a bit realistic". I don't see how anything changes.   Also Hyperbole. Missing the point. I hope it wasn't one of yours either.

Your description came after my statement. So I didn't describe what you wrote, when you quoted me,

"What I put" in this instance was a description of the Battlefield demo, which you described as "trying to be a bit realistic". And you criticized my ability to read? 

how can an epic tank battle on a giant scale seem boring?

@ElBarto:  Just kiss already.

NOT ENUFF TRANSFARRING.

It was an interesting choice for the demo, but Vehicles is what Battlefield does well.

I would have liked to see a live-demo of the multiplayer, kind of like what they did for Medal of Honor.

I agree that the gameplay doesn't match up to the graphics.

@AnimalFather: yeah I was a bit let down by what I saw. MW3 demoed much better I think. Battlefield 3 will still be a good game. The 10 min trailer first released was great.

I can't believe that they didn't show live footage of the multiplayer. But instead they gave us a linear and fairly boring tank mission, ah well at least it looked pretty.

i kind of agree with that. man did that look pretty.

na man, it was cool

Big Battlefield fan here and I say....yeah, tank battles are shite. But as stated above by Skyline7284.....'If you go to battlefield for the singleplayer you're doing it wrong....'

Tank demo was kind of boring, save for a few spots. It went on for far too long. They should've showed off something else.

The demo was extremely boring, I was ashamed they chose something like that to show at E3. Playing that part on the other hand will be fun.

I think they just wanted to show us the dinosaur. They should have just shown more multiplayer.

Considering all they showed was a tank level, I think it's a bit quick to judge.

This is true.

Good.

I don't see the point of even launching with a Single Player, should just focus on MP.

The tank demo looked nice, but was the worst way to show off the game. Honestly, EA and Activision need to stop trying to think their military shooters have an important single player experience.

I dont get the people saying "  If you go to battlefield for the singleplayer you're doing it wrong...." surely if your going to be paying full price for a game you would want both components being worth your money, just using the excuse of Battlefield being primarily being a multiplayer experience is lazy in this day and age. 

I was pretty happy with it. I was just glad they didn't feel the need to explode everything and go into slow motion and add some high speed chasing and spinning and shit... I'm so fed up with the constant mind numbing craziness of the Call of Duty series. It's still just another modern FPS but I appreciate the change of pace their demo offered.

As if we're going to have time to wobble around in a tank during multi-player. Anti-Tank stationary weapons already have a lock on your rusty oily ass. Infantry LAWs and RPGs will be flying in from every direction like curse words rocketed by the wind. Combat choppers will be homing in like LOL-copters during one of their many (many) mating seasons. Jets on overflight will see your vehicle lighting up like a TOILET VACANT sign in a commercial airliner. Two or three hits of the sweet stuff and you're past tense in some German's to-do list. Oh and don't forget that anything on the road that looks like rocks is actually a cluster-fuck of AT mines just sitting there, waiting for your ignorant metal to flash above its triggers. Like parking do you? I've got four bundles of C4 that likes your parking, too. Tanking in Battlefield. Do you taste bacon and tears of children?

That demo was boring as shit, but I don't think that stuff is really the point of Battlefield 3. Everyone I know who is excited about BF 3 feels that way because of the multiplayer. The single-player is just more of the same scripted, pseudo-realistic gameplay that a lot of military shooters have these days.

OP is known for not liking video games.

Duders, this guy ain't joking. This game sucks.

Still too early to make a call, once the multiplayer is made more known, then we'll know whether it's boring or not. Singleplayer? I probably won't play it much. I enjoyed Bad Company 1 + 2, though I never finished 2's singleplayer. But only for the personalities, this BF3 singleplayer obviously won't be a screwball-shooter-comedy thing like Bad Company, so... it doesn't seem like it's for me.

But man that multiplayer... lookin' pretty cool so far.

I don't like tank cockpit view too.
 
Nonetheless the game's going to rock.

Wait, Battlefield 3 is shipping with single player? o_O

I played all kind of damn shooting games. but for environment, graphic quality, BF3 is the best ever I've seen so far. I think that it is evolved from medal of honor unique, dynamic environment. when you compare with bad company 2, medal of honor looks different. it's more likely BF 3 (very closed). BF 3 combat is very dynamic. there is no FPS to go 15 hours for single player in the history (especially, military shooter). BF 3 will do very well no matter what. 

ya it looked good but the tank demo major snoorfeast

You know what else is boring?  My mom!
