Game is surprisingly good.. did an all-nighter and enjoyed it

It's no bf2, but it's fun

Of course most of us were probably not even 16 when bf2 came out, so we'll never get that same feeling of awe at a videogame again, having grown up a little since

infantry combat = best in any game ever

vehicle combat = better than bad company 2 but not as good as BF2

imo

I seriously doubt that, if it's anything like any other Battlefield game the infantry combat is ruined by the netcode...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

The one thing I wanted more from BF2 was better infantry combat. I feel I got that with BF3. However, that didn't mean I wanted vehicular combat to get worse. But of course, DICE is amazing at never learning and continue to make stupid mistakes and retarded changes to things that aren't broken.

Counter Strike
Quake
Unreal
Fuck even Call of Duty has better infantry combat than battlefield games...

CS:S infantry combat is just stupid.

UT3 is about the pinnacle of actual fluid movement and unaided mouse movement. Feels lovely.

I dont even compare CoD to Battlefield anymore, if anything CoD is more like an asteroids game. Every encounter is determined by where you're looking and reflexes, the maps are all small and cramped, graphics look like shit and the guns sound like airsoft compared to BF3.

BF3 actually has a thing called, you know, open terrain, flanking, etc. I'm playing tdm now and can tell you its better than CS or CoD, by a lot

Battlefield games have always had some of the worst infantry combat around mostly because of lag, hitreg and rubberbanding issues...

What about it's predecessor Battlefield 2? That's what made Battlefield 2 special to me the infantry gameplay and maps.

I agree, but Bad company 2 vastly improved the infantry (despite those problems) and now we've got BF3. They've wanted to compete with CoD for years I guess so they just brought it down to infantry-centric.

I'm sorry but infantry combat in BC2 is absolute horseshit... you might aswell decide the outcome by dicerolls unless one of the players use explosive weapons like Carl Gustav or N00bTube

Infantry was what made bf2 last so long. It was way more intense than bf3 and bc2.

Well to each his own

Seems like there isn't a lot of splash damage. I've noticed this with helicopter missiles, tank rounds and grenades. Hit very close to infantry and they aren't killed.

Of course they did, because going 50-1 in an air vehicle was possible. Face it, you want a game with god mode.

The bad guys didnt win I guess. Did they leave open endedness in the plot for a possible sequel? I hope not...
