User blog:Awyman13/My Experience at E3 2014

E3 2014 has ended and I have to say my experience was phenomenal. From the giant Monster Statue for Evolve to the Madden 15 GMC Booth, I had a blast and heres what I have to say. -- 03:33, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Battlefield Hardline
Now of course I have to mention Battlefield Hardline. You can read of my experience of playing it first at the EA Press Conference here. As for the E3 BFHL booth, It was great. Now the first day i was in the line to play for over an hour and unfortunately I was forced to wait in the line right before I was able to enter the booth as I had to go see Ubisoft with the guys. Thankfully, I obtained a EA VIP pass which sped things up.

As soon as I entered the booth, I noticed it was set up like a police office. Next I was asked to sign into facebook to be able to get a link to my reaction to playing which is found here. Next I was given a free poster and got to play the game. As before, my experience was great and refreshing. Visceral is taking battlefield in a new direction and thats a good thing. It may look like BF4 but trust me when I say it is its own game.

Afterwards I was asked to do a short interview and say what I liked about the game where I was then given a free shirt and lanyard. I was going to ask a Visceral developer the questions that were submitted by the BF Community but unfortunately time wasnt in my favor and it did not happen. Next year right?

Titanfall
I for one had never played Titanfall before E3 but I can see what all the hype was about as it was awesome. The new gamemode and map played smoothly. Just for the uninformed, the new mode involves players being marked throughout the match as VIPs who then must be protected while also dispatching the enemy VIP. After I was finished, I was surprised to get a real life pack of burn cards which are basically perks within the game. Inside were also the possibility of getting a silver or gold burn card. I got a silver card twice which means two free shirts but I wasn't lucky enough to get a gold card which would have awarded me a free Xbox One!

Rainbow Six|Siege
I went into the booth knowing absolutely nothing about the game. First we were shown a quick demo then we got hands on. It was simple, criminals must fortify their defenses and "protect" the hostage while police must infiltrate and rescue. I played as a criminal first and proceeded to fortify the house. After the police infiltrated, however, I may have accidentally shot and killed my team leader (as friendly fire is on). Better yet my leader was a Dev showing us how to play and was sitting next to me......

Anyway things went good from there. As a cop, we decided to breach the upstairs bedroom where the hostage was held. My team leader breached first and was sadly killed but I managed to poke my head in the window while I was hanging on the wall via grappling hook and dispatched two guys. I then went to rescue the hostage which was a mistake as I had forgotten about the last remaining guy. Ah well, live and learn i guess.
