Battlefield 3 has become EA’s fastest selling game ever after selling 5 million copies in its first week on release. The highly anticipated first person shooter
which we have been featuring here on Geeky Gadgets in the run-up to its
launch was released on October 25th and uses the new Frostbite 2 gaming
engine.
There have been a few teething issues with its launch however with a
number of players experiencing problems logging on to multiplayer games
and with multiple crashes during gameplay. However EA now say that
nearly all the issues have been corrected and they’re working hard to
correct the remaining few.
Patrick Soderlund, executive vice president of the EA commented on Battlefield 3′s early success saying:
"It is extremely gratifying to deliver an entertainment
experience that delights our fans, and to have the opportunity to
introduce new people to the franchise.” – "Already, we are seeing
unprecedented play times and online activity which is very rewarding. This launch solidifies Battlefield as a leading entertainment brand.”
It will be interesting to see how EA’s game holds up in the gaming
charts once the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 game is released on
November 8th.
