Battlefield 3: Caspian Border Gameplay

Yesterday Battlefield 3 released another trailer. This trailer features 64 players, and more vehicle warfare, including jets. It has also been confirmed that you can even customize the ammunition you use in tanks.

Everything looks real, and this is Pre-Alpha. Pre-Alpha means that this is not the finsished project yet, DICE is still working on it.

I love everything im seeing so far. Jets, Mobile AA, tanks, and a lot more.

Why do parents hate computers so much?

This is the question I want answered.

I honestly do not understand what the big deal is? I think that parents have a stereotypical view of their kids on computers: that they just sit there and do nothing.

Parents are constantly nagging their children to read and get off the computer and read , but in reality, 90 percent of being on a computer is reading, wether is be reading a friends status on facebook, a blog, or doing research. Kids are reading, just in a different way than reading a novel.

Even other sites like youtube. I would say that I spend about 75 percent of my time on the computer watching videos, videos on whatever. Whether it be a commentary over a gameplay, strategy, montages, vlogs, updates, news, and much more.  I mean, I am subscribed to over 300 channels, all of which  watch.

Computers are also the way of the future. My parents always say "well I used to call people." But why call friends when you can talk to them face to face over the internet?  Is talking face to face not better than talking on the phone?

Parents also have a stereotypical view on video games in general. This is the thing that drives me crazy the most as a gamer.  Why do parents think that all one does is kill, kill, kill in video games? Do they not realize the amount of strategy and time memorizing where things are? Do they not realize the amount of teamwork is required to win? Do they not realize that it is not "melting our brains" and instead working them?

Not only that, but when a person games it is a sense of accomplishment. Why? Well because when I started in games I was terrible, but now I am much better than I was, And I am still working to get better and try to be better than the other team.

Shooter games also have things that parents do not realize. A person who is a Pro gamer at say Battlefield, will have faster reaction times and more control over his fingers. Or a pro gamer at Starcraft will have really good multi-tasking.

But non shooters like Starcraft 2 are games that... parents never notice. Starcraft is a Real time strategy game. RTS is when you face an opponent, and you react to what your opponent does. Except while doing that you build things. These games are in my opinion more of working your mind than anything else, because if your opponent builds something, you need to instantly think of a counter to what he is doing.

Battlefield 3: more realism.

In BF3 apparantly there are a couple kinds of rounds you can use in a tank, and with one of those rounds, it can pierce through buildings.

This has been confirmed from BF3's question on facebook.

Oh, and another thing about realism in BF3:

No, that is not a picture. That is a shot from BF3. When I first saw this on the battleblog, http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/, I legitimately thought it was real. 

Modern warfare 3:

Now personally I dislike how MW3 looks, but my favorite Machinma director, Seananners but it the best way: "Why is everybody so mad about Modern warfare 3 being so similar to MW2, now call me crazy but lets say for instance I like cheesecake... I have a piece of cheesecake, and then I have another piece of cheesecake, its going to taste the same, be delicious, and im going to love it."

But I think that you get into the deal og at what point do you release a new game, and at what point do you keep releasing map packs?

Modern warfare 3 trailer

Today more footage was released  for MW3.

To be honest, I think its lackluster. Very lack luster. It looks like footage from Modern warfare 2, just with new animiations. This trailer is also very... "changed." What I mean by that is that the trailer may be gameplay footage, but its doctored to look better like crazy.

Im not sure, but this game does not look... new. In addition to the lack of new features. 

Are games really "games" anymore?

 Video games are no longer "games" anymore. They are stories.

Some games are real life events, remade into the virtual world. Take for example Medal of Honor 2010, they had Navy Seal members tell real life situations and stories. From those stories Dice created the game.

So is it really a game? I would say no.

It's a story. A real life story. These are the things that truly intrigue me, the way that game developers can hear a story, then create it on the screen.

Even games like Mass Effect 2, which is set in the future, is still a story. Yes, made up, But it is still a story.
