Battlefield 3 - NOT coming to Steam
« on: August 08, 2011, 06:34:40 PM »
[float=left][attach=1][/float]Now it's official. Battlefield 3 will not be coming to Steam, confirmed by EA itself.

Barring someone caving in or some sort of divine intervention that is.

Oh well. I'll buy it as physical copy anyway, if there will be a physical copy in my place.  :ermm:

Yeah, not really going to care on this one. Games that I truly like I will always have a physical copy of. Especially the limited editions.

Likely to happen here where I live. It's a "blockbuster" title, so it'll likely get a retail launch. A delayed launch though.

Loved the 1942 games, Bad Company series is awesome, and...and... Battlefield 2142  :woot:

After seeing Crysis 2 pulled from Steam, and seeing that there would be a possibility of BF3 not being available on Steam either, I knew it was a done deal. Something tells me this is going to be a continuing issue between EA and Valve. Pretty sure it has to do with Origin, despite what the two companies have been saying.

Guess who's not getting Battlefield 3?
Several people, I imagine.

Battlefield was around in 1942? What did it run on? A cardboard tube and some string?

It ran on Enigma machine, powered with vodka and German march music.
