I don't care if it uses Bad Company's engine. I just want my letter and number map grid back.

Why on earth did they take it out? Instead of giving logical coordinates like A2 and D5, we're reduced to talking about sheds behind gas stations on the sort of west side of the map.

Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team

I guess we can look forward to a long line of booster packs.

Hey ass, I made a poast about it.

but anyway, yeah, it looks alright, especially the 80 players on a map. 8 maps is rather...not much at all, but considering I only played on one map, I dunno. But as unnamednewbie said, I think we can expect some booster packs.

Yep, its the only bit of jewelry a bloke is allowed to wear. Hes not an idiot, hes just using the sight as a view aid and not about to open fire. God only knows where you've got that conclusion from!

Only two different possible teams? Lame!!! Even BF2 had 3... They need to add more choice : /
2142's 2 teams are (were?) really unbalanced in certain classes, and I expect they'll do the same to BF3. Needs moar teams.

I have a feeling booster packs will change that. or expansions.

Patch 1.40 has fixed the imbalance of the teams...

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

Definitely. + I liked that in NS they made Type 36 and Goliaph not mirror balanced.

It could go either way, the booster pack route of the way TF2 set out. They made a small amount of good maps instead of making loads of maps which no one will play. How often do you see Zatar Wetlands being played? Unfortunately you're probably right and they probably haven't learned, BF2142 proved that.

Are you meaning to say that this has ever stopped? I've been getting killed by mostly noob tubes or claymores lately, and been TKed 3 times in the last 3 rounds I played.

They got rid of AT and SpecOps it seems. Guess they will let Assault and Engineers get options for those weapons. Maybe Engineer will choose between crbine & C4, or RPG & SMG?

If it has auto update, they might download new maps that way, or just release them for manual download. But you can make more money from booster packs ...

Hopefully EA has learnt something from BF2, and won't spend as much time mucking around with a zillion patches before getting it (mostly) right.

Tbh, I always found engineers a bit excessive in BF2... Their repair points are ridiculously few, and all you get is easily avoidable mines and a shotgun... Which sucks long distance...
AT - at least you get the rocket launcher.

SpecOps has always been my favorite class for sniper hunting -> really accurate unlock with virtually no recoil (the G36), and C4, and a Zipline

They had better leave DICE enough time this time...

Fat chance.

EA will rush the game, it'll be full of bugs, a few patches will be released making it even worse.

It's all been done, and i don't expect anything else this time.

No buy from me unless it's exceptional.

If they do as much customization as in 2142, it will be awesome! And it would be cool if they added a campaign this time
Imagine going around on a BF map, with silenced guns, camo clothing and custom explosives/additives... that would be awesome

Well they're trying to incorporate a similar system to steam where if a bug is found to be game braking, instead of having to haul up a team and organise a patch, one guy can make a little change, and release it incrementally. I imagine there'll be some expansions, it's EA but if they use that auto-update feature right we'll see faster and more frequent bug fixes.

Having survived Chemistry, I seriously lol'd.

At any rate, it's too early to tell, but here's something I will say:

DICE Canada was making the patches, while DICE Sweden made the game; two different studios were doing different jobs on the same game. DICE moved completely to Sweden, which helped get everything back in gear--you don't hear of these types of problems in BF2142 do you?

Well, DICE Sweden is unified, so it's hard to say what's going to happen, as long as it's brilliant, and lets me blow shit up...especially with customizable weapons and destructible environments.

8 maps...meh: booster pack. Nato vs. MEC? Well, there's always OF2 if you want U.S. vs. China, and Frontlines FoW if you want Nato vs. Asia.

So it's hard to say, I'd say that the destructible environments plus the vehicles, plus the weapons is a good reason to play. If they made the sides more asymmetric I think that'd be ace, but I doubt they'll do that for fear of alienating all the retarded n00bs.
