Battlefield 3 full TV spot suffers 99 Problems
I've got 99 problems, but faith in AAA video games marketing ain't one, so let's all simply watch things explode in the Battlefield 3 television commercial.
Following a contentious teaser last week, Electronic Arts has released the full, minute-long television commercial for Battlefield 3. Myself, I've got 99 problems, but faith in AAA video game marketing ain't one, so let's all simply watch stuff explode.
Battlefield 3 is slated to airdrop onto PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 25, preceded by an multiplayer open beta test kicking off this week. Now, what may be considered a problem by some is that add-ons will be release one week early on PS3 as part of a timed exclusivity deal, starting with the 'Back to Karkand' map pack given as a pre-order bonus.

This post is from 2011
I also hate rap.-
Who cares?

Apparently you, since you were annoyed enough to try and make a snippy response to two people who don't like rap.
"Waaahhh, people don't like things I like!"
That is you.-
No one cares.

I think most rap is garbage as well. There's a lot of awesome hip-hop & instrumentalists like DJ Shadow/Krush/etc but most of rap is as Demon said. It's also worth saying that most pop songs are the same and that most country songs are just as pathetic. Yes yes, it's so sad you had a divorce b/c your wife cheated on you with livestock & that you lost everything int he divorce but your dog and then your dog got ass cancer and died and now you don't even have beer money...boooo whoooo

above and beyond the call is pretty inspired though, the noise dubbed over the ad is horrid though,
-
all genres have repetitive songs that are poorly written, this problem isn't unique to rap

"I wave my hair back and forth".

WHIP, I whip my hair.

The irony is that with as many times as it's said, I should have know that.

yeah unlike that good ol country music right? achy breaky heart is teh best song evar!
-
ALL MUSIC MAKES MY EARS BLEED. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS JUST LAYERS OF INSTRUMENTS PLAYED TOGETHER WITH LYRICS FOLLOWING THE SAME OLD VERSE CHORUS FORM. ITS PLAYED OUT.
-PITCHFORK 4.6
THEIR FIRST ALBUM WAS BETTER -
Yeah no one has ever repeated a chorus or anything in a Rock song.

Ppl that say rap is not music are dumb
Are dumb
Are dumb

I actually didn't think i'd be turned off by the music until I actually heard it, that was awful. I think if they removed the lyrics the backgorund music would have been alright but still....wow.

I'm not surprised. It's just EA taking another page from the Modern Warfare playbook.

The CoD selection was better.

Rarely do songs get chosen based on relevance to the movie, game, story etc. None of the Gears songs ever have relevance. What TOOL song was played in the first Iron Man trailer? What relevance does TOOL, or any of their songs, have to Tony Stark? Plain and simple, the song just doesn't mesh well with the video. Better off playing some Black Keys.
-
going for the CoD crowd. i'd have much preferred an orchestral score and more non-explosion gameplay.

I'm glad the sexism accusation silliness hasn't made its way into this post.
This ad is the product of marketing people who said "rap is cool, right? We want to be cool! We must use rap!"
Yeah, it's a shame that there are no female soldiers in this, but I don't think it's because of any sexist feelings on the part of DICE. More than likely, I would guess that it was very much considered, but decided against because it would very likely bring a whole lot of negative press to the game from clueless pundits. Anyone can try to deny it, but the headlines would be "Realistic Game Allows Players to Kill Women" not "Female Soldiers Also Featured." -
Oh Alice, love your writing :D
This girl is so good. -

Who are you getting your PS3 info from? Because they are goofing on you bad.

Then get a real internet provider, bro.
I never spend more than a couple of minutes on an update. Console updates come like, what, once a month now? Tops?
Either you're a liar, an idiot, or you have a horrible internet connection and it's your own fault. Pick one.

I don't have an issue with it (who the fuck cares about a one week delay), but one could argue that BF3 was originally sold to the gaming public as a PC title first and foremost, to be ported to the consoles. Which is why the raised eyebrows for the PS3 exclusivity. Especially when EA's trying so damn hard to steal some glory away from MW3, which sells so much better on the Xbox.
-
Oh. Is it not? I didn't get that memo.

I like the PC vs PS3 comparison trailer better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGbo50Ar420

When I went to go see this, I thought it would be flamebait.
Instead, it was hilarity.

DJ Dangermouse (the Grey Album) version of this song woulda been better, much more badass. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtfEYuZhDjo)

Awesome trailer... if you mute it.

While "a bitch aint one" is a line that surly is the epitome of why people look at video games as immature pastimes , 99 problems aint a bad song it just makes this awesome crazy shit feel pre-teenish.
