It looks and plays just like Bad Company 2. It's on virtually the same engine. I'm not saying that's a bad thing though, it just doesn't feel like a true successor to what Battlefield 2 was.

when i played the alpha it played nothing like bc2.
I actually can't play bc2 anymore because well, its pure shit compared to bf3

k, when i played the alpha it looked like an improved Bad Company 2. 3d spotting, same gun sounds, similar squad system, rush mode, no commander and like i said earlier it's on the Frostbite engine just like BC2.

1. 3D spotting issue has been addressed by dice. No more spamming random triangles. If you can't see the person then it won't pop up.
2. The sounds are actually different.
3. Squad system is different in the fact that you can only spawn on the squad leader and not anyone at random
4. Big whoop on commander. Maybe they will put it back in yet who knows.
5. FB2 has it's differences from FB1. It's a good engine. There's some gorgeous scenery in all the BF games that utilize it.

Did you even play the alpha?

Yes I did play the alpha, and i'm just saying it feels like an improved Bad Company 2. Not saying that's a bad thing though, just doesn't feel like a true sequel to what Battlefield 2 was.

the thing is what did/do you expect from bf3?
If they made a bf2.5, basically a graphically improved bf2 people would have bitched anyways, i mean fucking hell, bf2 was no way near perfect.
What do people/bf2 players want from bf3?

But the game has nothing to do with bc.
I mean, DICE/EA are not that retarded to ruin a franchise like battlefield, and lose the core bf players.

Well considering I've fired many of the weapons in game, I think I know what I'm talking about jms.

And why the heck wouldn't you want loud cool mechanical sounding guns?

If you had fired these guns, you would know that you get a ringing in your ears. Constant fire will cause you hearing damage. Hence the reason you wear ear muffs at the gun range.

Do you really want to deafen gamers who are wearing headsets with the volume turned up in the hope of hearing enemy footsteps, for the sake of realism?

Stop trolling, trolly mc troll person.
