Battlefield's Veteran Status and You

If you don't know what a "Veteran Status" is it basically shows how many if any other Battlefield games you own. It serves as a way to reward players who have continued to support the Battlefield franchise for years. I personally own 1942, Battlefield 2, 2142, Bad Company, Bad Company 2(PS3), Bad Company 2(PC). There are all fantastic games which can be easily enjoyed. Recently though some new players are shunning us old by stating we should not be honored to be bestowed a veteran. I for one state that we should be honored we are called veterans for a reason. True is most veterans are 2-5 times deadlier on the Battlefield. Personally to me your not considered a veteran if the only Battlefield games you own have the words Bad Company in them. I don't mean to start a riot or anything (I probably have) but understand those are just my PC elitist instincts kicking in. I even own a PS3 and sometimes think of other players as dirty console peasants who wither under my glorious PC gamer master race (lol). Don't be angry or embarrassed because in reality there will always be people like me. Hey and when Battlefield 4 or Bad Company 3 comes out you can look down on the new players as well so you have that to look forward to!

Server Disconnection Issues in BFBC2

If anyone has played Battlefield Bad Company 2 you'd know that it is a very compelling experience. 

The multiplayer is competitive and is very addictive. Lately though it has been plagued with various server issues. Personal experiences of mine have the outcome of disconnecting me when my internet connection is perfect and erasing both my stats and guns. I'm honestly no server expert but EA being the behemoth it is should really be looking into this problem. It kind of ruins the experience (doesn't stop me from playing though). Now some of you might say," But hey Battlefield 3 is in the horizon forget BFBC2!" I'd response some thing like this, “Yes sir you are completely correct but the same servers that were used in BFBC2 are going to be implemented into Battlefield 3." This is a very serious, I mean Battlefield 3 is going to be huge BFBC2 won't compare really. My point really is it be better to fix it right now than to face the consequences later. Hey if DICE has an Ace up their sleeve and implements newer better servers then by all means go ahead! What I am saying don't let one little mistake take out a beautiful game. The main attraction of the Battlefield series has always been the multiplayer, having faulty servers doesn't seem to be the right thing to do. So that’s it I'm all done ranting about this, Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Information about Battlefield 3 Co-op

We have recently been informed that the Co-op mode for Battlefield 3 will be released sometime between 17-20th of August.

This will give us more than one thing to play and will up it's chances to beat Call of Duty in the first-person shooter showdown.

All we know so far of the gameplay is it will be online so you don't have to have all the players on the same console. And that there will be 10 different maps to choose from. Most peoples guesses are that it will be similar to the gameplay in the current Co-op for BFBC2, Onslaught Mode. But with some upgraded features and of course better maps to play on.

Information about Battlefield 3 Co-op will be released in August!

Everyone has been pretty quiet on the Co-op mode to Battlefield 3 since EA / Dice confirmed that they will be released.

But we need not wait that long any more to get information on co-op mode as they would appear that EA / Dice will release information about me co-op mode for Battlefield 3 on Gamescom in Cologne from 17-21 August 2011. If they do release Co-op it will most likely up their chances of dominating Call of Duty since Call of Duty also has some sort of Co-op trick up their sleeves.

We will of course update you with all the nice details that EA / Dice will go out with the Gamescom. Thanks for reading and have a nice day. If you want to stay up to date with BattlefieldLOG, Follow us on twitter @BattlefieldLOG.

Battlefield 3 Alpha Gameplay is Unacceptable

This past week DICE Released the Alpha for Battlefield 3. And somehow plenty of people got their hands on codes for it. Now that those codes have been getting in the wrong hands gameplay has been flooding out on the internet such as places like YouTube. EA and DICE have been working around the clock trying to get down gameplay on YouTube by contacting YouTube and telling them to put the videos down. But that doesn't work. Videos just keep on flooding on and No one can stop it. The Alpha is closed at this time only for PC players that are vetrans (Meaning they own more than one Battlefield game). Also you have to sign up for a newsletter and hope that you get invited to it by EA. DICE never wanted the gameplay to go all over the web, but it got out of control and now they can't stop it. BattlefieldLOG will not be posting anything that has to do with the Battlefield 3 Alpha just for the respect of EA and DICE. But on the bright side this might be a wake-up call for DICE on how to runs things. It might help them with security and how they run this kind of stuff. Also this Alpha might just make the final game better as people can tell DICE what they didn't like and what DICE should improve to make the game better. 

Tell us what you think about the Battlefield 3 Alpha testing in the comments down below. And if you want to be up to date when we put up a new post follow us on Twitter @BattlefieldLOG. Thanks for visiting and have a nice day.

Which is more accurate? M4 vs. M16

  An argument between the American armed forces for more than a decade. The M16 the work horse for the US military since the Vietnam war it has proven itself reliable, effective, and deadly in the battlefield. The M4 has seen action since 1994 and has been used in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Soldiers find both firearms extremely par to par with one another. Most soldiers have a different preference but slowly the M4 is replacing the M16 as the standard weapon for the American army. Both guns use the 5.56mm round, and are based on the original AR-15 model. The M4 is a gas operated carbine while the M16 is a gas operate rifle. Both have selective fire and are magazine fed. Now that we have explained a bit about each weapon let’s get to the point. Barrel length gives increased accuracy in which case the M16 has the upper-hand for the M4 being a carbine. As for the iron sights there would always be an x-factor if telescopic sights are used. To eliminate this factor I shall used the standard iron sights provided. As for iron sight accuracy the M4 use a flatten on-rails iron-sight much like the HK416. As for the M16 it features a combo of a carrying handle on the receiver and a battle sight on the barrel. In terms of sight clarity the M16 is much better. Both of these weapons have a selective fire feature. Options may include single shot (semi-auto) full automatic and 3-round burst. Off the bat the M4's slicker design improves the accuracy in all these modes as it is easier to handle. The M16's more stocked up design makes the gun more difficult to hold down recoil and will spread the bullet hits. This brings me to my next observation/comparison which is bullet grouping. Even though the M16 can shoot at farther distances with great accuracy it isn't ideal for close quarters but soldiers have found themselves in these situation. The M4 is ideal for close quarter combat tests have shown that grouping shots has save lives. I of coarse side with M4 on this round unfortunately there is no such thing as a tie breaker. These firearms are just too similar to each other. Yet the M4 continues to replace the legendary M16 in most armed forces. Surprisingly the US is already looking to find the future replacement of the M4 soon both of these lethal beauties shall be discontinued in the military. So remember to appraise the M16 and M4 two weapon that might be gone sooner than you think.

Battlefield 3 to fix roadkill glitch?

It seems that in BFBC2 roadkill is a awesome feature. But is very poorly executed. For example, If you are driving as fast as your vehicle can go (except for tanks) the enemy player glitches through your vehicle and does not kill them. This is a very big glitch and hopefully can be fixed in the upcoming Battlefield 3. If not this will be a terrible problem for the future.

Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor similarity?

Now that Battlefield 3 is going to come out October 25. People are wondering what its going to contain and feel like. Some people are pointing to it playing and feeling like Medal of Honor, DICE's last game release. And in some case's this will be true and some not. For example, Medal of Honor has killstreaks, and Battlefield 3 will not have killstreaks. But in cases that its true are, The graphics will be similar with a same kind of feel.

But Battlefield Fanatics should know that the games will in most parts be totally different. Battlefield will be a breed of its own only being similar to previous Battlefield games only. And Medal of Honors graphics were superb that gives a little hint on what Battlefield 3 graphics will be like.

Battlefield 3 Team Deathmatch Confirmed

With Dice implementing Team Deathmatch into Battlefield 3 it is obvious they are trying to get Call of Duty players over to Battlefield. Team Deathmatch has been a favorite for most Call of Duty players since the game first came out. With this also comes a different factor. Call of Duty players will stick with Team Deathmatch while the native Battlefield players will play more original game types like Rush or Conquest. Which is a good thing since most Battlefield players are mad at the fact that many Call of Duty players are going to get into the Battlefield series.

Tell us what you think about Dice's move to put Team Deathmatch in Battlefield 3 in the comments down below. To get a quick link to when we put up a new post on BattlefieldLOG follow us on twitter @BattlefieldLOG

Will Battlefield 3 take the 1st-person shooter crown from Call of Duty?

Since EA reported that Battlefield 3 was beating MW3 in preorder sales everyone has been wondering if Battlefield will take the 1st person shooter crown from Call of Duty. I think not, people will never like Battlefield more than Call of duty because it is very difficult to lone wolf in call of duty were in Battlefield you almost always have to be playing with friends. People may buy more copies of Battlefield 3 but they will eventually go back over to Call of duty because more of the non-hardcore players will like Call of duty's play-style more.

In the end the chances of Battlefield taking the top spot are very slim. For quicker information follow us on twitter @BattlefieldLOG
