Battlefield 3 Interview: Patrick Bach, DICE

[SwedishRaper]

I'M PROUD TO BE SWEDISH! LOVE DICE <3 BEST GAME EVER.

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

The should have finished the game before putting it out.

[ethenlovesblackops]

Call of Duty™ Modern Warfare©3

[raimoa1]

this is the buggiest game ever made. Still hundreds upon hundreds of bugs. I can't believe what DICE team is doing. Lock on is so buggy, can't get it 50%. Spawn screen bugged, sometimes i can't spawn. If I'm dead and somebody revives me, I get stuck on the spawn screen, which I CANNOT close. Got to leave the server ? REALLY ?

Hitreg is buggy as heck. Shoot somebody, get a kill. 3 seconds later get killed by the guy i just killed. REALLY ? What kind of support are we paying for? Non-existant.

[Jamezy1991]

This makes me proud to be swedish!

[playerkyle13]

@vasilikosolov Well Mw3 dose not like BF3, so they will have a war with each other. But gaming wise BF3 is the next generation for FPS's..

[t10201997]

please make a battlefield 4!!!

[Cobraskate98]

Im swedish i hear he is from sweden so dont comment that he talk bad okay

[LeoFoppa]

Now lets Wait for BF4 lol

[vasilikosolov]

story line MW3, gameplay and multiplayer BF3, I like them both so stop arguing on what game is better

[vasilikosolov]

4:18 the gun is in semi auto mode but it is still firing in auto -_-

[nomexninja813]

"..deeSSerFF the same features"....24 = 64 on console??? Meet us halfway Dice..32 ? Fuck your foreign math!

[shinycharlie]

Heavy swedish accent :)

[Plexuz1]

@shinycharlie lol, I just love that accent, I have that accent too, batttttttttelfield

[KingDre1997]

This a cod killer

[FantastickDark2]

B-Best

F-Fucking game you bitches have ever seen....

[cronium1991]

'Deserve the same features?' Youve scaled dwn, destruction, scale, resolution n grafix for console. Damn u DICE. Why cant u b like uncharted 3

[oskaroglars]

@cronium1991 yeah see the frostbite 2 engine is stornger then nauthy dogs and the current gen consoles cant handle it so they have too turn it down

[metallidethN9ne]

@cronium1991 Yeah like oskaroglars said, Frosbite 2 is probably more powerful than Naughtydog's engine. DICE builds their games around PC which is constantly being updated and is a modern machine while xbox 360 was modern in 2005 when it came out. Same with PS3. They're started to become out dated and can't catch up to what PC can do so they physically can't handle what Battlefield 3 can do on PC. If they manage to fit 64 players on console, they'll have to lower the graphics even more.

[Theneuf94]

Oh my... This game is going to be... Wait for it... Legendary!

[iHsg16]

I cant decide if I should skip it or buy it

grr.. fine dammit ill get it

but never mw3

[metallidethN9ne]

@iHsg16 yes, BF3 is gonna be way worth the money. A lot of people are skipping it because of the Beta but the beta was an older, less polished version of the full game.

[TheStig000]

@metallidethN9ne Good, less whiny noobs in bf3. People that are smart enough to know what a beta is will be having a good time on release!

@JustTouchMePlease 30

[TheTechBite]

@zachjab 60

[DSN107]

if u think console players deserve the same features mr.bach, then why dont u give us 64 player battles online?

[Grimarine33]

@DSN107 consoles=old=BOOM

[lalle5000]

haj, maj najm iss patrick bach and aj äm nott from sviden

[killakobra27]

Imagine this game being cancelled.

[The1tFact0r]

No offense I love the game and the series but I won't buy it or any game on origin simply because origin has no community lags alot the constant updates and restarting and everything costs more put it on steam please

[Ar15snhappy]

@The1tFact0r your going to miss out thousands of people are going to buy it.

[Firdaush0]

lol the bit about set events was a direct hit at COD, subtle...lol. I love how humble they are never bashing anyone always saying "We don't wanna beat X game, We wanna top our game." Love it.

Great questions too. Not scared to never get a call back for an interview. Nice.

[dronus]

Any info on building accessibilities ie, floors, roof, basement, how many players online for console? : l

[72adamis72]

@dronus 24 players on console

[dronus]

@72adamis72 really? sweet. I wonder if it's going to be like one huge city and in the city each grid is a different server. I know im asking too much but it'd be fucking tight to have access to every building, floor, the basements and the roof. So lets say there are 1000 people playing in one city, however each grid has there own dedicated server. it'd be too much for the servers to support hunh? that'd be sick as fuck though.

[PrOtOtYpEaPoCoLyPsE]

i admit i was a call of duty player and i came straight from modern warfare 2 to bad company 2, but i must say i much prefered bad company 2, as the terrain would react much better to the way you would shape it. If i wanted to access a wall that wasnt accessible through a door, i could use an RPG to access it. Also, I feel closed in on Modern Warfare 2 because the maps are on a much smaller scale, and as i have already said, some buildings are inaccessible. are there  going to be killstreaks.

[369gamemaster]

This game will be much better than CoD BF games have always had more quailty than any other shooter out there check out my channel for not just BF new but for all gaming new just click on my name

[xGiveMeUrLifex]

@TheChainsBoy: I didn't come up with that one, I've seen it before lol.

[ermaslv44]

@TheChainsBoy CAN own dice

[TheChainsBoy]

@ermaslv44 cant sound better...

[ermaslv44]

@TheChainsBoy not at all

[falcor200]

I love how he said both consoles are very powerful, a low end PC is more powerful than both consoles put together, its just a cash cow end of story, but then again its good cuz it makes them more money to make more games.

[killerdeen13]

LMFAO PC ELITISTS YOU HEAR THAT YOU FAT BASTARDS.

[fredsassy5]

One thing i think they could improve a little more is the enemy AI, i dont like how enemies just run out into the open it takes away from the authentic feel of the game.

[Flam1ngR3con24]

fuck this and mw3 I cant wait for Battlefield 4 lol

[comperko]

@Flam1ngR3con24 good luck waiting 7 years while everyone will be already enjoying Battlefield 3 and its possible expansions

[Flam1ngR3con24]

@comperko It was a joke dumb ass

[FantasyFinal4]

Fuck it lags. Is that Xbox 360 gameplay or is it just the video. If this is on the 360 i gonna cancel my order and buy an PS3 and buy the game again O_o

[TheReaper951]

@FantasyFinal4 Its the Alpha build all of that will get fxed before release

[BLACKOPS1499]

DICE AT LEAST PUT IN 1080p

[FantasyFinal4]

@BLACKOPS1499 Damn you know that a very few games running on 1080p true. Even Killzone 3 doesent run on 1080p It can be upscaled to 1080p And so can Battlefield. But it wont run as smooth. And There is not a whole lot of difference between full HD or True 720p

[GamesThisYear]

i dont like the feel of battlefield games it slow and stuff which gets my spinning

[dandaman520]

wow srry that was a while ago its just cuz those hacker ppl kept posting those beta things thanks though and itss gonna be in august and september

[SweClubberz]

@dandaman520 August AND September? :P

[MultiFamguy]

@SweClubberz bara i september=D

[SweClubberz]

@MultiFamguy What the... A month has allready passed? Hell yeah.

And yes, I know, it's going to be the best month (before release) :D

[tahthedon]

Okay, i will buy BF3 if it can offer me these things. I want a shooting game that requires thinking and balance. I want a shooting game that isnt easy to abuse. I want people who pick the most overpowered weapons and use the most popular strategies with it to lose all of the time because they didnt hav a strategy. Most of all, i want a game that has the least amount of 6 year olds playing online bragging about prestiging. I want this game to be so hard, annoyin little kids cant play it.

[TheDesir12]

Found the beta for Battlefield 3 guys.. Get it at :

**[freebattlefield3.info]**

[NoahThomas29]

im glad that dice is puting more sandbox levels in the campaign cause bad company 2 did not really have any sanbox levels but the first one did.

[leahinator]

Bach was very well spoken, I'm extremely excited for this game.

[dandaman520]

is the beta out???????????????????>

[SweClubberz]

@dandaman520 There are three possible months for the beta: July, August, or September.

But Semptember is the most truthfull date because Karl Magnus Troedsson said that himself at E3, also he said it's an OPEN beta :-)

[victorhng]

stop trippin i cant get to that beta waahhh

[badhabit30]

@DietzMartydbn they released it early huh?

[EvelynWolbachmHX]

Im sick of people trying to say cod is even in the same league as bf3! def not after playing the beta for bf3 got it from: bf3-dl[.]tk

[Tankhitcher]

okay first of all the beta isn't out yet....stop lying

[TwoBlaydez]

he looks like tejbz

[EvelynWolbachmHX]

im officially switching my game of the year candidate from mw3 to bf3 after playing the beta. honestly best beta ever go to: bf3-dl[d0t]tk

[TylerHNothing]

BOTH consoles, you know, cause there's only two :P

[angelite143]

God bless these brilliant people..

[irishsoldier666]

battlefield 3 looks amazing

hands down the best visuals ive ever seen

best animations the running vaulting over the rail and crawling on the roof is jaw dropping

the vehicles JETS TANKS HUMVEES BOATS HELICOPTERS (i think)

i am pre ordering it right now

[gears6515]

i really hope this is true and the final product is the same as PC for the console if it is i might just leave COD

[JonPL]

Hartsock?

[MannysFresh365]

HOW ABOUT YOU ASK HIM A REAL QUESTION AND ASK HIM WHY DOESNT THE BULLETS FEED INTO THE GUN!!! 6:37

[reditacken]

@MannysFresh365 its just a beta

[ThePencil901]

@MannysFresh365 oh shit nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o

[M16A3SOPMOD]

@MannysFresh365 True, but its probably just an early demo.

[nfsmohpsp]

@MannysFresh365 pre alpha footage, inform ya self

[HAMTHEDUDE]

@MannysFresh365 He would have released the game NOW if that glitch was in the game. Why else would it be only a few months away? for polishing and bug issues :)

[larsulrich3356]

@MannysFresh365 LOL yeah that was dumb, I seen that earlier and asked myself the same question.

[halowalker14]

@MannysFresh365 THEY BETTER FIX OR IM WALKING INTO DICE AND COCK SLAPPING EVERYONE!

[ericreeses2]

@MannysFresh365 The game is still pre alpha you cant expect it to be perfect

[FantasyFinal4]

@ericreeses2 Well. Same problem with XM22 in the Vietnam add on. When aiming down the sight. The bullets doesent feed into the fun either.

[FantasyFinal4]

@FantasyFinal4 Lol i meant gun.

[thewarmachine97]

@MannysFresh365 because the game isnt done yet

[Reverb4444]

@MannysFresh365 pre-alpha video maybe? since that is when the fault line trailers were recorded. and where the clip you're refering to was ripped from

[BraeDoktor]

@MannysFresh365 HOW ABOUT I ANSWER YOUR ''REAL'' QUESTION AND TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A BETA!

[theJTW42]

@MannysFresh365 its the alpha demo, they dont have to put it in yet

[Sadik0gungor91]

@MannysFresh365

Dont worry, it will be fixed.

This is Dice not Activision.

[leaf16nut]

@MannysFresh365

pre alpha brah, settle.

[ianwilky12345]

@MannysFresh365 You do realize that it is still in its beta stages right? You ignorent fagget. Go shove a copy of Black Ops up you're ass...

[MannysFresh365]

@ianwilky12345 Your Stupid Your Like What Almost 15 years older than me and you talking shit to me when you dont even know me?...someone sounds ignorant with a childlike mind...seems like someone wasnt loved as a child would you like a hug???

[ianwilky12345]

@MannysFresh365 hipocrite xD

[Dragonshadow123]

@ianwilky12345 it's hypocrite not "hipocrite". Wrong spelling error lol, but ya I agree he din't think it on alpha zz.!

[feelfidel9]

@MannysFresh365 pre apha xDDD

[EasterGhost]

@MannysFresh365 Alpha footage. It'll be fixed by the time the game is out, bud.

[Knightinblack11]

@MannysFresh365 its a demo dude, chill out they'll change it

[CoolStoryBro16]

@MannysFresh365 Pre alpha.....

[Ar15snhappy]

@MannysFresh365 yeah i was wondering the same thing...they will prob fix it

[Gazkhuul]

I love Patrick! No homo

[tubumu]

Good - they're adding more sandbox levels. For us to have different ways to accomplish a mission.

[Cruxxi]

Since when was it expensive to upgrade your computer now days

[agranadio]

@Cruxxi It's not very expensive to upgrade your' PC, but I think he's talking about people who have a completely outdated non-i5 or higher motherboard that can't handle more than one of anything. That can be quite costly.

[BlackWater1986]

I think they got the right idea with PC hardcore and console hardcore gamers I used to play PC more then console but I just don't have the money to maintain constant upgrading of a PC its cheaper to buy consoles hence I've unfortunately hung up my mouse and keyboard I mean I'm on an itouch right now it's a shame I won't see this on PC but I'm glad the margins between PC and consoles is getting blurry

[TheBLeAChLoVa]

@thesharpshooter745 Haha xD thanks!

[TheDecon18]

Patrick Bach, you look like Vincent Cassel o.o

[tubumu]

Great! Can't wait to play this game. Once this hits the shelves, no one will ever touch COD again.

[zvz2ezzvz]

"best possible battlefield game." oh really? i swear al you guys want is money and to out do call of duty.. hmmm.....

[chrisislame]

it would be awesome if fullmotion scanning was used on bf3 as well so the facial emotions would be there as well hopefully next game lol

[ProIcberg12]

@Evayrr And I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I'm so tired of fanboyism and it just really pisses me off how much better PC people think they are. Frankly, I would like to see all platform gamers get along, and hopefully one day that will happen. To tell you the truth I already own an Xbox 360 and a PS3, and I'll be making a PC later this year. I just like all platforms because they all have advantages.

[GeneralXT]

Come on DICE release the beta!!!

[TheBLeAChLoVa]

COD fanboy: We got perks that make us over powered we can 360 quickscope, we can even have game modes! :D What can your game do?

BFBC fanboy: We can drive tanks, helicopters and we can destroy buildings to find enemies that camp, we do real teamwork, we base rape and it takes real skill to play the game unlike you doing your noob scope! :D.

COD fanboy:...

[zvz2ezzvz]

@TheBLeAChLoVa tanks helicopters and slow as fuck games.. everyone has their own likes/dislikes and opinions considering >BOTH< cod and get ready... Battlefield 3 !omfg! have ups and downs neither is better than each other.. your just a fanboy trying to copy the top coments

[TheBLeAChLoVa]

@zvz2ezzvz Uhh dude just to let you know I made this comment myself and I play COD and Battlefield and I like both but the only problem was COD got repetitive. No fanboy of this I mostly play crysis 2. :)

[TheBLeAChLoVa]

Other thing is of tanks are slow, like 100 tons. Helicopters are slow but not jets which is in Battlefield 3! :D

[TheAbundantYeti]

CoD = there's a camper behind that wall.

Battlefield = ...what wall.

[Willo3G]

Fucking pc gamers shut that fuck up, we dont care about your dam pc graphics. I can see incredible graphics in Killzone 3, Gran Turismo, Uncharted ect. Guess what i paid 200 for my Ps3 plus it has the best Blu-Ray player out there this is coming from experts. How much do you payed for your mega gaming pc 800+? and i cant really see a big difference from a PS3 that was made like 4-5 years ago. Shame your self PERIOD

[TheAbundantYeti]

@Willo3G i paid about 250 (turtles) for my pc... it runs just about any game... and has blu-ray.

you can see INCREDIBLE GRAPHICS... good for you.. think of the blind people.

[KurtHm61]

U now PC fanboys are all over the net. Im à PC player and I thought that we PC gamers were mature. But battlefield has made all the PC fanboys appear.

[BolyHoner]

lol, he said "hardcore console gamers" that's an oxymoron

[XTob1X1]

Why is the "original" version on the PC??? Cod and BC should not be on pc, but on ps3 :D (360 sucks by the way, online is free on ps3)

[smithjustinn]

@XTob1X1 WTF

[xkill8]

@XTob1X1 lol and look what happened to ps3 lol, got owned

[Willis53y]

@XTob1X1 yeh i like how you say your online is free on ps3 and because its free sony lost 171 million due to a breach!! now if all you ps3 players paid for online service that would of never happened! im not saying i dont like ps3 im just saying what you just said was kinda dum!! pc has more up to date hard ware so you can do more with a pc then ps3 and xbox. bf was born on the pc and will continue to make there series on pc first! im not complaining cause there hasnt been 1 bad bf out there!!

[Warpoke1]

@XTob1X1 Because your shitty console can't run the original version. PC is truly the way fps games are ment to be played.

[Evayrr]

@XTob1X1 @Warpoke1 True that. Not only is the mouse better for FPS gaming, PC's can get unlimited graphics depending on your hardware.

[ProIcberg12]

@Evayrr That's great, good for you... I hope you feel good about paying 2 to 3 times more than a console which the graphical difference isn't that much to piss people off anyway...

[Evayrr]

@ProIcberg12 You forget the fact that you can do a lot more than gaming on a PC. I also like to make them and make homework. It's definitely worth the money.

But yeah, if you only want to game, you could better stick with a console. But I still think the mouse and keyboard combination is better for a FPS.

[ProIcberg12]

@Warpoke1 Fanboys need to STFU...wait for it... and then GTFO.

[rivengle]

@XTob1X1 this isn't bc, it's battlefield.

[xXHeAdXShOtZXx]

haha, wtf? psn was down for a month you fucktard. ps3 not so great now is it?

[ProIcberg12]

@xXHeAdXShOtZXx I hate fucking fanboys...If you knew shit XBL was down for 2 weeks back in 2008 and now the market place is down for time unknown...and does any of it really matter? NO. None of it means shit. All three platforms are good in their own way, and people who aren't stupid fucking 10 year old fanboys and true gamers can switch to a different console for awhile if ones not working. Now, go cry to your mommy about how the internet was mean to you...

[190jaiden]

@XTob1X1 lol your just mad because this game is sooo good and you have to play it on a shity ps3. pc has 64 players YAY!!!!!!!!!! consol only 24 awwwwwwwww.
