Commercial Break: Battlefield 3 Griefing

Supposedly this is a semi-close to gold release of the Battlefield 3 game. Not the beta that everyone [including myself] has been complaining about. I do enjoy a good greifing session. Apparently, the user had time to play the multiplayer mode with DICE employees prior to the game's release and decided to record himself annoying his teammates. This is all speculation, but judging by the map and the way the game looks, I'd be willing to believe this is true.

However, if there was a DICE employee that called the player the n-word. Yo bro, dat ain't cool. Hopefully the game is as fun as the griefing appears to be. Arthur over at Joystiq is dispelling rabble-rousing gamer's beliefs that the beta is a direct reflection of the finished product.

Props to Mike Nelson for finding this vid and BF3 Grief for posting it.

The Brog's Best Multiplayer Game Of 2010: Battlefield Bad Company 2

Even with the ability to snipe someone from across the map with a shotgun, Bad Company 2 functions both as a stress reliever and an intense moment-to-moment exercise in what makes the standard FPS worth buying in to.

The interesting thing I've noticed in my multiplayer habits is that there is no room for being exceptional at a wide variety of these types of games. Out of the dozens of multiplayer games that came out for PS3 and PC this year I only had time to really get into the games listed below and especially this years winner: Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Preview - Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Beta

This may come off partially off-color and in poor taste. Writing about a game's successes or short-comings while it is in closed-beta should not be good practice, but this is something that should not be avoided as a forum of discussion. There are a lot of people dying out there and they want to know why. There are a lot of people playing this game and realizing they are just as good as Jesus or at least his Senior-VP. Even the development team dropped some hints noticing the gap of elite to meat-shields.

I do not know if this article will meet those who are participating in the closed-beta, but please feel free to chime in with your thoughts and opinions. I would also like to state that I am super happy to be reaping some inkling of reward from my little foray in the games journalism world by being invited in a beta. This is not a 'nee-ner-nee-ner' article, but one that hopes to discuss games that carry the label, "Work In Progress".
