You won't be loading and unloading the game to browse Battlelog the way you think. It's a website under continuous refreshing and updating, it's extremely fast and responsive, and it launches the game 3 times as fast as past Battlefield browsers did. If there's anything I'd like fix in Battlefield, it's not gameplay, it's their fucking menus and browsers. Loading and unloading the game to browse a webpage via a third party browser seems like the longest and unsafest route to take. Their games have been riddled with bad slow unresponsive laggy browsers forever. The Server Browser and Battlelog could easily be in game and it fucking well should be in game. I personally don't see why they can't use the same in game browser mechanic which Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit uses. I waited for like 5 months before BC2 was playable for me, i'll wait on BF3. Doing so is unsafe, resource wasteful and prone to error.I agree, and that is going to be fixed in two ways: either they actually manage to secure their shit after several months and have a solid Battlelog running (according to Demize it's extremely protected and backed up), or they ditch that shit if it fails. There's no need for the game to push you out to a third party browser. Origin, like Steam, uses a Webkit-based browser.
I'm sure it can handle 1 extra program (Origin) and a single browser tab Origin has an in app browser that's what he meant and it does, it's how the content is pushed to you. It does? Didn't see it during the alpha trial About the resources, A- you shouldn't have anything running as you run the game, like a downloading program or 10 browsers tabs, so that's no excuse, and B- If you're running BF3, then you have a powerful machine. Too many possible points of failure where something other than the game itself not working can cause you not to e able to play the game Well, I do agree, especially that DICE take months to fix their games, let alone those two new outside services, but. It creates too many layers and dependencies. Especially if you're a fairly heavy browser user where it's consuming a gig or two of RAM. Having to not only run the game, but run the Origin client *and* a web browser at the same time is a pointless waste of resources. Origin has an in-game browser. Origin has a what now? They should have made Battlelog In-Game.Why is that? force you to run Origin. Too many possible points of failure where something other than the game itself not working can cause you not to e able to play the game (as experienced by many people playing the Alpha, though I guess I can't go into detail on I never thought the Server Browser was bad. There's no reason the server browser couldn't be made to show up through the in-game web browser from the Origin client. Yeah I played the Alpha, I didn't hate it but fuck that.The thing that made me almost stop playing BF2 years ago and BC2 last year, was the Battlefield server browsers! Those browsers sucked so much, replacing them with anything is a good thing. I would prefer an in-game server browser, but the time difference is barely noticeable when switching games. BF3 has punk buster said:įuck hate EA for making DICE do all this stupid shit, Requiring Origin/No Steamworks and No Server Browser.There is a server browser, it's just on the Battlelog.
Said: said: I'm going to wait for actual confirmation of Punkbuster before I even begin to think about how to solve Punkbuster issues.Battlelog server browser said "PB" on one of its sort buttons.
