Fuuuuuuck! I just had a gamergasm!! Let me be clear at this point, I am Battlefield 3‘s bitch. I used to be Battlefield: Bad Company 2‘s bitch but then a shinier, newer version came long (with gameplay that isn’t quite as good as its predecessors but, boy, does it look better) and we had a [...]

I know it’s flying in the face of public opinion but I actually really enjoyed last years Medal of Honor game from Danger Close/DICE. The campaign was engaging and well structured and while the multi-player was flawed initially I actually adapted to it quite well (and the patches fixed a large number of issues) and [...]

So, Danno posted up a COD: Black Ops spawn trapping video last year showing how poorly designed some of those multiplayer maps were. Seems like the designers of Modern Warfare 3 have learnt…well, pretty much nothing from their previous titles flaws.

The Engineer is by far my favourite class in DICE‘s epic Battlefield 3 first person shooter. I’d begun using the class extensively back in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (after playing almost exclusively as Recon for the first 6 months after it was released) and had really, really enjoyed it so I was excited to see [...]

Defend The House have put together this really handy Battlefield 3 Mythbusters video to show off some of the things you can and some of the things you can’t do in Battlefield 3.

One of the key things that differentiates Battlefield 3 from its competitors is the sheer number of vehicles you can jump into and take into battle. No running around a map on foot looking for someone to kill in this game. Just grab one of the winged or wheeled death machines that litter each spawn [...]

DICE have made significant changes to the Assault class in Battlefield 3. Assault players are now the field medics of their team, responsible for handing out med packs and reviving their fallen comrades with the defibrillator kit. While Assault players offensive capabilities are required when taking objectives their support role as the dispenser of health and their [...]

So, not posted much on Monkey Central over the last few days because…well, basically because Battlefield 3 came out, that’s why. I can’t lie. I’ve been shirking my blogging duties and just sitting on the couch playing video games…But in my defense it’s a really, really good video game. I hope you fellow gaming geekers out there [...]

The Battlefield 3 beta finished earlier this month, leaving nothing but virtual shell casings and some serious “PlayStation thumb†injuries behind, so I thought I’d review my time with the game. Right up front it should be noted that: 1) This was most definitely a real beta, specifically designed to test servers and load balancing. [...]
